Simons, "Even the causal thinker may come sufficiently in contact with such phenomena as thought transference and other evidences of E.S.P...."
and you call that supernatural? sorry to disappoint you bro, but perhaps na mislead lng ka sa imong understanding of principle of man having different bodies in different planes.. its not to be taken na its supposed to have super powers..
the power of thought is powerful mainly because it is a messaging system in the mental plane of existence. emotions are powerful too.. and it has its own messaging system.
most people are not aware of their mental and emotional existence.. they live their lives exchanging thoughts and emotions, but they're are not aware how they are even exchanging thoughts and emotions.. they usually confuse it with the physical expression most of the times.. even letting the physical expression cloud their judgment of the real emotional/mental message..
TS has a different way of presenting these topics, and to the newcomer, it will seem like it is mystical and occult.. which is fair enough in a way.. but its not mystical or occult.. it is esoteric though, in a sense that it is supposed to be obvious but nobody is aware of it.. so its hidden in plain sight. it is as natural as the atoms in our physical existence.
thought transference is a messaging system of the mental plane. emotional transference is another messaging system.. but the physical system has big part on this also.. so true emotions is really hard to decipher..
whenever we talk or speak, we are already exchanging our thoughts which is beyond the physical can do.. you capture my thoughts, i capture yours.. it is a phenomena because no physical/chemical reaction takes place yet i am able to receive your thought messages as best as i can interpret them..
extra sensory perception is beyond the discussion of my capacity, because i have no words to describe it.. its better experienced in my opinion.. but some people out there have written about it scientifically, and not supernaturally.. try not to interpret them in supernatural ways.. mabiased man gud atong understanding if initially we already looking for something supernatural..
on other fields, look up cognitive science, its an emerging branch that will deal with ESP. TS has just mentioned those way advanced than our time..

it doesnt matter what you believe, ang teaching sa TS is what we are after.
we are told that thoughts can influence matter and energies. if that's the case then these people who radiates thoughts of protection,propserity, peace, love and etc. could have influenced the rage of bagyong ondoy and made it stop. don't you think? then apil pod ang mga christians, ga ampo pod to sila ato nga panahon. so with all these energies pointed to one intention so there was a great possibility nga naa toy effect.
yes, it does.. thoughts influence matter and energy all the time.. you're not aware of it, because most of the time, its in automatic pilot..
but it is also counter-intuitive.. when *you* begin to think, it will cease to take effect. that's why i dont buy into those "we prayed and it happened and in some way we should be credited.." that's plain BS and ridiculousness..
a true prayer is not the *you* speaking, but the I in you.. the universal I, and it never utters such egoistic claims..

my ego is bruised? go ahead comfort yourself with those words, hahaha. my one sentence response signifies that I have no intention of lowering myself to your baser self. no need for explanation dong. I can see clearly now what you are really made of.
yes i am fanatically defending this Order like the way you are fanatically defending your BELIEF, sorry dong binata ra kaayo ng style nimo.

*sigh* nevermind.. just say what you want to say and believe what you want to believe in..
like what regnauld has said.. i'm not fanatically defending anything.. not even Theosophy.. I guess you guys will have a hard time understanding that..
i'll give this to you though.. if your show of antagonism here will help establish or prove your loyalty to that Order, by all means bro, you can antagonize as much as you want.. i will concede..
take care always..
