URGENT! What do I do with a cursed item?
I own a few things that have been given to me by a group of people who like to put curses on me. Since I've had these items, I've lost my best friends, almost everything I touch, breaks, I randomly get cuts on my body that hurt and bleed and I have no idea how they got them, etc. Even plastic things break! I tried giving away one of those things to someone and this person told me it was "too nice" and that I should keep it (it's not ugly but the energy is horrible). The next weekend, I met the people who gave it to me and I know they knew I wanted to give it away. Everything has gotten worse since. Anyway, I've heard of cleansing, but I just wanna get rid of it. Can these people do something that causes me to keep it until the curse is fully working, and if so, how can I get rid of this stuff without being affected by the curse? I've heard that you can do a good deed with it before getting rid of it, but there's nothing I can do with it that's even kind of good. Should I give it to charity? I don't know what they could do with it... Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do i get so hyper when there is a full moon. Paranormal?
As we are living beings and are very much connected to the earth as well as sun and the moon and their forces. Many indigenous cultures had various rituals that were in conjunction to different times of year as well as during the different moon phases. Some Native American tribes admired the wolf and it's habits as well as how it was organized into packs. The wolf was a great hunter and did seem to act a bit differently during the full moons. It is believed that the it is much better hunting under a full moon, which is true but it also believed that the gravitational pull on living beings can affect us further. Just as the earth's surface is made up mostly water as are most living beings. The moon has affect on tides and can also affect living beings during full moons. It can also affect us in a primal manor, that we can feel more alive during full moons. There are statistics that show that many emergency rooms fill up during full moons as well as jails fill up and all and all strange behavior but it is a reminder that we are very much a part of the earth and the universe. Take care.
What should I do to contact the shadow person who has been following me around?
Your parents are either new-age hippies or serious bible-thumpers, aren't they? Probably hippies, but never mind how I knew that. I happen to believe in ghosts a hundred percent, and I don't think you have a shadow person or any other type of paranormal activity going on in your house or in your life. You don't have a shadow person. A shadow person isn't a strange black stain or mark that looks like some shape, it's an actual shadow shaped and sized exactly like a person. They look like mist people when the light is in front of them, and shadows when the light is behind them. Think of a cloud, because it's the same principle. What you have is a bunch of random every day stuff that happens to everyone, and you're stringing it together to draw some supernatural conclusion. Seriously, none of that stuff is even remotely unusual when you look at it. Yes you hear weird sounds when you're on the edge of sleep, and yes your brother 'sees' figures in his room when he wakes up at night. That's called hypnagogia, and it's basically dreaming when you're not fully asleep. It's not a paranormal phenomenon, not even a normal phenomenon. When something happens to everyone regularly, it simply doesn't count as paranormal. Same deal with the shower. I'm sure Mom did hear something that sounded just like a shower running, because people hear things that sound a lot like other things all the time. But the shower was off when she opened the door. I'll bet it was dry in there too. You live on the 14th floor of a condo building, so you can't tell me the sound couldn't have come from elsewhere in the structure. There is only one kind of ghost that fits your description, and it's not a shadow person. Professor Gerald Q. Mustabin, a psychology PhD, came up with this theory in 1987. The theory is if you experience something (anything) and can't find an immediate scientific explanation for it, it qualifies as a paranormal encounter. That theory was dismissed by the entire scientific and even most of the paranormal research world, but it remains popular. Known by the name of the professor, Mustabin ghosts are the most common ghosts in the entire world for those who believe in them.
Can religion be considered a myth?
Definition on Myth:mythmɪθ/nouna traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events."ancient Celtic myths"synonyms:folk tale, story, folk story, legend, tale, fable, saga, allegory, parable,tradition, lore, folklore;a widely held but false belief or idea."the belief that evening primrose oil helps to cure eczema is a myth, according to dermatologists"Definition of Religion:religionrɪˈlɪdʒ(ə)n/nounthe belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods."ideas about the relationship between science and religion"synonyms: faith, belief, divinity, worship, creed, teaching, doctrine, theology; a particular system of faith and worship.plural noun: religions"the world's great religions"a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion."consumerism is the new religion"Thus you get that myths are part of religions. E.g. according to Wikipedia:Religion and mythology differ but have overlapping aspects. Both terms refer to systems of concepts that are of high importance to a certain community, making statements concerning the supernatural or sacred. Generally, mythology is considered one component or aspect of religion. Religion is the broader term: besides mythological aspects, it includes aspects of ritual, morality, theology, and mystical experience. A given mythology is almost always associated with a certain religion such as Greek mythology with Ancient Greek religion. Disconnected from its religious system, a myth may lose its immediate relevance to the community and evolve—away from sacred importance—into a legend or folktale.-- Religion and mythologyIf, however, you were using myth in the vernacular (the second definition), implying that the religion of your choice is a false idea - the answer will depend on who you ask. My observations (as an atheist), is that most believers treat their religion as true whilst all other religions to be pure fables. I just take it one step further.
