Sanity Check

What is going on with me? Its only basic evolution. Nothing you need ever worry your silly head about.

(They would consider it leaning too much on one's own understanding of things.) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. -Proverbs 3:5

Interesting.

I'm shocked and surprised we agree on something. I might watch the movie "A Dark Song" eventually. Why would a christian watch that? In an effort to avoid being illiterate or uninformed.

Stories matter. Cultures like japan are heavily influenced by stories about robots, science, engineering and technology. For decades, americans have tried to recreate that type of pop culture movement in the USA. In an effort to encourage youth to be more interested in science & tech. To avoid having to outsource a high percentage of R & D to places like israel, japan, india, etc. I seem to remember Aleister Crowley criticizing others in the movement for "playing at magic". If Crowley were still alive maybe he would laugh his ass off at modern day magicians who might have derived their core terminology from children's dinosaur movies. The idea of magic users possibly borrowing terminology from Jurassic Park -- makes me laugh. It doesn't matter to me if its true or not. It makes me laugh. And that's all I care about it.

Look, the universe answered your question. Before you had even asked it:

That's exactly what people say. When they don't want to admit their terminology was influenced by books and movies about dinosaurs.

There's a wiki page of chaos magic here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magic Looking at its citations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magic#References There appear to be only two brief mentions of chaos magic in 1974 and 1987. The vast majority of content written on the topic is 2003 and later. Almost as if Jurassic Park's chaos theory reference was what was needed for it to go mainstream.

Pop culture books and films do it better.

Jurassic Park was published in 1990. I don't think there is a written record of "chaos magic" preceding the year 2000. It probably was influenced by Jurassic Park although they very much want to pretend its not.

I personally dislike Castenada. He told one of his followers if they needed to find him (post humously) they only needed to drive their sports car as fast as possible into the desert. Remains of said followers were later found in the desert. Uncool bruh.

The book Jurassic Park popularized something called chaos theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory A framework intended to explain things which are unexplainable by modern science. I would guess chaos magic is a spinoff. Or was influenced by chaos theory in some way.

Even the tech industry’s top AI models, created with billions of dollars in funding, are astonishingly easy to “jailbreak,” or trick into producing dangerous responses they’re prohibited from giving — like explaining how to build bombs, for example. But some methods are both so ludicrous and simple that you have to wonder if the AI creators are even trying to crack down on this stuff. You’re telling us that deliberately inserting typos is enough to make an AI go haywire? And now, in the growing canon of absurd ways of duping AIs into going off the rails, we have a new entry. A team of researchers from the AI safety group DEXAI and the Sapienza University of Rome found that regaling pretty much any AI chatbot with beautiful — or not so beautiful — poetry is enough to trick it into ignoring its own guardrails, they report in a new study awaiting peer review, with some bots being successfully duped over 90 percent of the time. Ladies and gentlemen, the AI industry’s latest kryptonite: “adversarial poetry.” As far as AI safety is concerned, it’s a damning inditement — er, indictment. “These findings demonstrate that stylistic variation alone can circumvent contemporary safety mechanisms, suggesting fundamental limitations in current alignment methods and evaluation protocols,” the researchers wrote in the study. Beautiful verse, as it turned out, is not required for the attacks to work. In the study, the researchers took a database of 1,200 known harmful prompts and converted them into poems with another AI model, deepSeek r-,1 and then went to town. Across the 25 frontier models they tested, which included Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, OpenAI’s GPT-5, xAI’s Grok 4, and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5, these bot-converted poems produced average attack success rates (ASRs) “up to 18 times higher than their prose baselines,” the team wrote. That said, handcrafted poems were better, with an average jailbreak success rate of 62 percent, compared to 43 percent for the AI-converted ones. That any of them are effective at all, however, is pretty embarrassing. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/universal-jailbreak-ai-poems

I think everyone has seen these memes. But has anyone wondered why people engage in self harm? What makes a process of self harm pleasurable for people? ... Having wandered far and wide, there were a few I came across who cut themselves. Some were beautiful women. Others talented and smart. I had the impression demons or entities were negatively influencing people. Like the swine in the bible who were possessed. Giving pleasure in exchange for self harm.

Is stealing, killing and destroying profitable or even cost effective though? Drug lords brag about their puny $20 million earned through crime. While Elon Musk has a net worth of $500 billion without needing to resort to crime at all.

Cat's purr = vibrations. Shaking = vibrations. It has long been theorized a cat purring strengthens its bones. Then again, I have never seen daoist shaking and not had a chance to observe it. Does it resemble "trembling shock" in traditional martial arts? Or healing sounds which are said oscillate at frequencies beneficial to health? On some fundamental level many of these things could share parallels or be related.

They could say. God of Adam. Or. God of Noah. But people wouldn't recognize the connection. So they say: God of Abraham. And people nod and say ah, I know which God you speak of.

Is the shaking technique similar to a cat's purrr? Why Your Cat’s Purr Is Literally Healing You—The Frequency That Repairs Bones https://sciencesensei.com/why-your-cats-purr-is-literally-healing-you-the-frequency-that-repairs-bones/ Did you know that your cat’s gentle purr isn’t just a sign of happiness, but might actually be healing you? Many cat owners have felt the calming effect of a purring feline, but recent research suggests this soothing sound is more than comforting background noise. Scientists have discovered that the frequencies produced by a cat’s purr can trigger remarkable healing processes—in both cats and humans. From stress relief to bone repair, your cat’s purr is a natural phenomenon with real health benefits, offering a fascinating glimpse into the hidden powers of our feline friends.

Its just a basic refresher on 1. Demons hate God 2. God made people, nature and the world 3. Demons hate people, nature and the world because God made those things 4. Therefore demonic influence is strong in those who wish to destroy people, nature and the world 5. Self destructive tendencies are also evident in this. But I probably shouldn't try to define things, its supposed to be left to the reader to meditate on things and discover on their own. The reason I correlate pleasure with self harm is due to the concept demons would take pleasure in a person who is one of God's creations, harming themselves. Maybe it doesn't resemble sexual gratification but perhaps some do get positive feelings out of it. And where do those positive feels come from? Just talking to randoms who cut or self harm. Without invoking religion and without them even knowing I'm a christian. They'll come out and say they feel better after doing it. Maybe the pieces fit. I don't even know what my role in any of this should be if I even have a role. Tend to think that this type of thing is well above my pay grade. I just always hope and pray both people and myself might learn to make better choices.

Time will tell. But I think you're missing the point. It is the self destructive tendencies that matter most. Who says they need or even want an exorcism? And who says there is anyone on planet earth with the power to cast out demons in 2025? There might be no one with that kind of ability.

Looks like you copied and pasted rather than quoting & so it did not register & so I did not see it. "S & M clubs." You appear to be contending self harm and self destructive tendencies are not symptoms of demonic possession. Demons are like puppies that only wanted a hug. Heh.

BTW @Nungali If you find this topic interesting can you reply to the above. I thought I was sharing fossil relics that were old news in this thread. Thought everyone knew this old stuff already. Did not cross my mind this might be controversial.

Fyodor Dostoevsky did a decent job explaining it. Proverbs in the bible did it even better.

Have you ever heard of pigs being used in medical experiments due to their biology being similar to humans? The Apostles could do that. This story has a different meaning. And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever. Genesis 3:22 (Pigs not knowing good / evil therefore - lower resistance to demonic influence than ppl) The pigs asked for _______? Perhaps their culture is demonically influenced.
