God and Magick
Been thinking a lot about what it means to be an atheist. does it mean that the atheist has no spiritual inclinations - at all? Are prayers, sending out good energy, or having any kind of religious experience out of the question? Do atheist completely dismiss psychic abilities altogether? The reason I ask these questions is when it comes to the existence of god, I believe it is a question that cannot be proven with any imperial evidence. Besides, there are so many of them that are now completely dismissed as myth; who is to say any of them exist? All each of us have experiences that we describe as religious experiences. But science has proven that these religious experiences are the result of a release of chemicals on the brain - the same as getting swept away in a mob mentality. So does that mean that the connection we feel with each other is nothing more than a chemical reaction? Being a Reiki healer, I act as a port for a 'universal life force' to flow thru me in order to bring healing to the querent. But if I question the existence of a universal life force, does that make my Reiki practice a fraud? Picking and choosing what we believe isn't an ideal method to me. There has to be some universal constant - like the law of gravity - that guides us in our spiritual quest. The "pick-and-choose" method is as futile as choosing what objects fall to the ground and what objects float. Everything is subject to the law of gravity. As I present these questions, I know no one will be able to provide a satisfactory answer - only their opinion which is just as unfounded as my own. I hereby make an official request to the gods/goddesses to show themselves to me and make themselves known to me and share the solutions to these mysteries with me. A

The questions you ask are all valid.. and they are all ones that I have every single day. An atheist, however, is someone completely void of belief. They don't believe in deity, in the supernatural, the spiritual, anything of the sort. Faith is not a valid word in an atheist's dictionary. And while a god cannot be proven by empirical (or any) scientific evidence, if one has some faith the unseen, unheard, and unexplainable, then they are more agnostic than atheist. That's why I claim that title. I believe in ghosts.. I've SEEN them.. and I've had other experiences that I cannot explain. Is it somehow connected with an afterlife? I don't know. Is it somehow connected with something like string theory and alternate dimensions? I have no idea. I remain open to that, even though I cannot explain it. <3
