Nothing; I repeated it and got the same result.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that I&#8217;m not saying they are &#8220;hoaxes,&#8221; because many things are real and work, just like those of the &#8220;village witch,&#8221; with the difference that the latter is much more powerful and effective, and the similarity between the two is that neither of them knows exactly how it works.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astral projection: This is only possible at a few meters, due to the size of the &#8220;silver cord.&#8221; Cutting this cord is a technique used in black magic to kill the target. If they talk about greater distances, they are simply lying.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astral visualization: There&#8217;s a simple test: take a book you&#8217;ve never read or even opened, and ask the &#8220;guru&#8221; to read a random page you indicate, keeping the book closed. If they can&#8217;t read it, then they don&#8217;t have that ability.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Divination of past and future personal events: Only disembodied beings have access to this level of the mental body (supra-conscious thought), however, if highly trained, they can see some indications and blurry patterns in the &#8220;reflecting ether.&#8221;<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Divination of the future: Ask this &#8220;guru&#8221; to tell you the lottery numbers; if you win, he receives 10% of the prize, but if you lose, he pays you 10% of the prize you should have received. Let&#8217;s see if he signs the contract.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astrological divination: It is possible to know the psychological profile of a person defined at birth and created earlier by the being itself at the beginning of its rebirth cycle. Beyond that, these are just extrapolations that usually fail. Take my case, for example: I know the birth region of the ideal woman, I know a window of birth dates, but I can&#8217;t know who she is until I find her. Beyond that&#8230; there&#8217;s no point in commenting.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conjuring entities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&gt; Invocation: It&#8217;s lending the body to an entity. It has nothing to do with evolution, but rather with a &#8220;disease&#8221; where the person&#8217;s &#8220;chakras&#8221; are spinning in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">> Evocation: It&#8217;s dangerous and requires a ritual (even if it&#8217;s for protection) because the entities that respond are usually &#8220;heavy&#8221;; and in this case, it doesn&#8217;t require great development, but it does have great consequences. &#8220;Feeling&#8221; or &#8220;sensing&#8221; is available to any beginner.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">elekinesis: Requires very strong control and a lot of training of the vital body; give them a simple (yours) and light sphere, and ask them to move the sphere with their hands behind their back without ever touching it. &#8211; Telepathy: Don&#8217;t ask it to guess your thoughts; ask it to transmit a thought, idea, or image to you, without giving you any clues, and both of you secretly write it down on paper, and then check if they are the same (no tolerances). This requires a person with good mental development to be able to perform it.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astral Aura: They usually observe the &#8220;ether of the vital body&#8221; to test evolution, without ever mentioning anything directly or indirectly. Ask them to observe your state of mind, and then change it (for example: from calm to anger, etc.) and the &#8220;guru&#8221; will immediately have to accurately identify these changes.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerology: It&#8217;s rubbish. We are only using the decimal numbering system with base 10 (in the Fertile Crescent it was base 60), and the aggregated numbering is Arabic; in other words, talking about it is utter intellectual garbage.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breaking crystal and glass objects: This is the result of a very specific mental exercise, requiring a lot of practice to succeed.<br>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve already given some tips on how to easily distinguish a truly developed human from a &#8220;guru&#8221; trying to make some money. Good luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With my morbid curiosity, after several conversations with New Age &#8220;gurus,&#8221; where I heard an avalanche of nonsense, especially when they delve into the realm of physics (where they clearly don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re talking about and don&#8217;t even dream of it), I decided to do another test: I paid for a consultation to supposedly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-my-thoughts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1434"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1434\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1435,"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1434\/revisions\/1435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitormsalmeida.pt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
