You misunderstood. I wasn't saying that at all. I wouldn't expect Randi to give away a lot of money, for the same reason Randi doesn't expect to, because magick doesn't exist. I already understand that if IM were true, it would predict that Randi would get what he is expecting, i.e. not giving his money away, but for a different reason. You think the latter is the explanation, Randi and I the former.

As far as crop circles, ufos, and all the other stuff you're lumping together, this is the IM board. My personal interest is in things like Law of Attraction, and consciousness.

Oh, pardon me. I must have imagined all the posts describing magical happenings, the boards on the forum dealing with being psychic, and the fact that the forum is strongly associated with the Pavlinas, one at least of whom does psychic readings. I must have imagined a connection between Subjective Reality, parapsychology and ETs. No-one mentioned them.

As far as dancing on volcanoes and things like that, you don't seem to get what we are about here. It's about living our own lives. Most of us believe that when we are happy, relaxed, and focus on the things we want in life, things tend to happen. For every study or book you can come up with, each of us has had plenty of experiences that have happened to us personally, and that's enough.

Sorry, but there you go again, talking as if you knew what everyone was about here, and marginalising me. This is a forum for discussing issues related to the philosophy of Steve and Erin Pavlina, primarily, and what I am 'about' here is just as meaningful as what you are about. Besides, I think if you read my points carefully you would see that I am not criticising people for being happy and relaxed and focusing on things they want in life. I am discussing how these ideas differ from the superstitions of people like the pavlinas and many who write on this forum, who believe they can make traffic lights change by will power, or who can't stub their toe without reading great cosmic significance into it. If you don't understand those differences, I can't make you see them.
