Just a side note... not only is there an increase of spiritual awareness & more use of magick, there is also an increase of more reported mental illnesses worldwide. Perhaps this is a sign that not only is our physical selves going to change, but also our mental selves as well.


In the largely famed book, Psychic Self Defense, Dion Fortune mentions how it is very well likely that the psychic may have a touch of paranoia and slight schizophrenia and the schizophrenic may be having some psychic contact. It was written over fifty years ago, so it's really a phenomonal book although a bit complex. Anyways, it does seem pretty logically linked.

Psychologists even have a mental disease called "Magical Thinking." The reason for this is because they believe it boarders schizophrenia and thus count it as a warning sign or a signal flare that might later call for more attention.

Sorry about that! I had to jump at the chance to talk about psychology. heart

And to add onto Jinxxed's post, isn't the Christian end of the world happening soon as well? Through the Anti Christ or something? I'm not Christian so the whole thing is blurry, but as I remember, it's suposed to be coming up.

Jinnxed: That really brought alot of the things I was thinking about together and threw in some new facts I didn't know about.


Hmmm, that is very interesting. I haven't heard of an actual possible connection between mental illnesses and psychic thinking in some people. In my opinion, I believe that the only reason why we have a classification of mental illness is pretty much to define behaviour and actions that appear 'unnormal' to the majority population. In reality I think that it is just another perspective of life, and an altered way of thinking. This doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, even if we view some actions as so.

Magical Thinking, hmmm? Could you elaborate at all or find a link about it? Is it just the term of thinking in ways that don't incorporate any sciences, or the psychologists just think their thinking is 'special'? rolleyes

Speaking of the Christian prophecies... I would actually like to hear what is believed to be happening now. I thought that their beliefs included the Anti-Christ coming soon, but really I have no clue AT ALL. To be honest I barely follow anything to do with Christianity or unfortunately any religion at all.

Oh and don't worry, I love to talk about psychology too! And esoteric philosophy too. heart One of my guilty pleasures sometimes is reading up on prophecies and the like... I just like sorting through different ones and trying to see if they could happen or if it's just so extremely far-fetched and much too hard to believe.
And no problem... I thought that there were other people who were probably thinking along the same lines too. I just wanted to get it all out so everyone else including myself could see it altogether in one piece. 3nodding


Okay so here's a link on it and I was mistaken, it's considered a thought process. Mind the first line of the article; it's not strictly classified by historians of a religion. Psychologists/psychiatrists also do accept the term. Magical Thinking

=O I was going to start doing reading up on philosophy! I decided to relax in a pool instead. as for prophecies, I take a more "I'll deal with it when it happens" attitude. There's no point in worrying drastically over something that just might happen.

Yeah, I know what you mean. There are only a handful of prophecies that I could possibly get worked up over, depending on how realistic it seems.

I'm just so much more interested in them as a whole... I think it's a mix of amusement, intrigue, curiosity, and an ongoing thirst of knowledge. 3nodding Plus there's a part of me that would also like to be aware of possible danger in the future... I'm weird like that. xd

Anyways, thanks a lot for the link.

*takes a deep breath* (also note, I'm tired and will make weird typos because of this. Please forgive me)

Okay, I've been hearing from alot of people about the Veil weakening. Does everyone say "Veil"? Nope. But they mention portals to the Otherworld being opened that are simply supposed to stay shut. The people protecting them are gone. These doorways are gathering a great amount of paranormals to the area. It's creepy when one runs across those areas.... Have I heard of an Otherwold war that destroyed that world and all hope of peace? Yes. From many different sources. In many different ways. Independent stories such as those found of fictionpress or webcomics are poping up with the same general idea: The world breaking. Not some natural disaster that kills everyone, but breaking in some weird way. Be it religious or otherwise.

Watching all this unfold, it's been kind of unnerving. I heard the Veil to be there to seperate people from the paranormal world. This paranormal world of ghosts, spirit animals, and demons exist here and in the Otherworld and they can roam between the two worlds. Otherworld has no Veil as far as I know... So with everything going wrong there, they've all come here. It's... crowded to say the least. I believe there's been an increase in paranormal activity. My friend told me I was paranoid. That I was simply noticing it more lately because I've been around more paranormal oriented people. Maybe... But I don't seem to be the only one drawing that conclusion.

Everyone is in agreement that the Veil falling would cause mass chaos. But so would nuclear winter and that's about as likely as anything else. However, someone noted the Veil falling to be a good thing in the end. I had that thought too, oddly enough. With Otherworld lawless and damn near abandoned, everything is a bit unbalanced. So if the Veil fell here, Otherwold inhabitants would feel more comfertable here and restart everything once the chaos weeded out those who couldn't handle the change. The ones who wanted a more peaceful life would then move to the Otherwold. Those people would concentrate on ignoring troublesome paranormal beasties and the like and form a natural Veil against them. They would also try to cast them out and naturally rebuild the barrier between the worlds again. In the end, everything would be as it was, simply reversed.

This is just a theory though. It's all something I've been thinking about since I've started talking to people about Veils and Otherworlds. I could be totally wrong. But it makes sense to me.

Well, there are apparently many theories floating around as to what it does, but I keep hearing that it's going to dissipate soon..Real soon. Perhaps within the next decade or two.



I read somewhere that it was very likely to happen in 2012

Ok, I just wanted to revive one of my favorite threads, and I was wondering: How many people think the Veil is going to fall soon? Do you know when? or how? and on a related note, how many think it won't, its either here to stay or doesnt exist at all.

I do believe that it will weaken to a point that all beings will have an easier time getting from dimension to dimension. This is not a bad thing, I think, but it can lead to a lot of chaos and disrder if it does. As it goes I think the veil is already at a pretty weak state but I do not make any claims as to when it might break or weaken because I simply do not know. If it does weaken to that point of almost being non-existant then it would be caused by all the stress from each dimension or realm. That would be the only way I could think of it happening.

That makes sense. That is what I would picture, assuming the Veil was not created or controlled by specific forces.

I always thought that the veil was the force dividing our plane of existance with the other fourteen.

2012 is from the aztec/mayan's prophesy.

So, why does everyone (as far as I can read into it) think the Veil was so strong, but is now weakening? Is it? or is it staying the same? or getting stronger, what do you think?
