Working the path in both worlds — the spirit world and the physical world | I overheard this phrase this morning: “It’s too late for our luck” from someone walking by. I was not involved in this conversation it’s from a passerby so it becomes a random gift from the world to think about. “It’s too late for our luck”
Karma and Dharma come to mind. The actions you take on the path of your life are what we are talking about. The crossroads is where the choices are made. This is where you ask your spirit or the gods and goddesses for direction and protection. When you take the first steps down a path in your life, literally and figuratively at the same time you are taking actions or walking step by step down a path.

Radical Christianity and Religious Panics
Is radical christianity and religious panic the same thing?
“Radical Christian” families and religious panics—The 1980’s Satanic Panics come to mind—sometimes reveal themselves or surface like the folie à deux and delusional disorder by proxy in a family.
It has occured to me that if your child goes on a suicide run to the local synagogue or congregation hall you might want to look at something like the following with a leader/inducer i.e., some kind of a church leader as your causal link factor across internal and external family boundaries. If your inducer is in a leadership position that can create emotional induction effects then to the receiver of the emotional effects, a shared emotion is created that alters their personal worldview and a shared emotional reality is created.
This shared emotional reality includes real physiological effects that are associated with emotions and feelings. In fact often times they are synonymous and it is only after years of observing ourselves mentally and physically that we can find the associations between the emotions and the physical feelings.
Folie à deux and delusional disorder by proxy in a family
Excerpt from NCBI -->Shared psychotic disorder or its more common synonym, folie à deux, is a rare clinical syndrome. Its characteristic feature is transmission of delusions from “inducer” (primary patient), who is the “originally” ill patient and suffers from a psychotic disorder, to another person who may share the inducer's delusions in entirety or in part.
Depending on whether the delusions are shared among two, three, four, five and even twelve people, it is called as folie à deux, folie à trios, folie à quatre, folie à cinq and folie à douze.
Legitimus comment --> Sounds like a Church I used to know with insert term here: "Radical Pentacostal Evangelical Charismatic Christians"
Excerpt from NCBI -->Shared psychotic disorder is mostly observed among people who live in close proximity and in close relationships.
It is found in parent-offspring, sibling-sibling, or husband-wife constellations. Furthermore, mother-daughter or sister-sister pairs represents fifty percent of the psychotic dyads.
Rarely all the family members share the same delusions, and this is called folie à famille. Additionally, there are case reports of physician-patient folie à deux and even a case involving a dog.
Risk factors include female gender, mental retardation, suggestibility, passivity, histrionic personality traits and suspiciousness, in the secondary patient. Moreover, dependency, ambivalent relationships and repetitive crises have been seen in the family.
There are several different types of inducers and induction effects a simple search will give you more to read about:

Delusions are defined as ‘‘false beliefs . . . that are firmly sustained . . . despite what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary’’ (American Psychiatric Association, 1994, p. 765). Although they are mostly observed in psychotic patients, experiences that resemble delusions and that we will refer to as delusional-like ideations have been shown to have a sizable frequency in the general normal population (Pe- ters, Joseph, Day, & Garety, 2004; Peters, Joseph, & Garety, 1999; van Os, Hanssen, Bijl, & Ravelli, 2000). In keeping with the continuum [Ed: a continuous sequence with steps between] between normality and pathology [Ed: sickness or diseased state] (Colbert & Peters, 2002; Shevlin, Murphy, Dorahy, & Adamson, 2007), schizotypal traits in healthy subjects can be associated with cognitive mechanisms similar to those observed in patients with schizophrenia symptoms.
Several theories have been proposed to explain the formation and persistence of delusions (for a review, see Freeman, 2007). One of them accounts for the maintenance of delusions despite contradictory evidence. It consists of a deficit in the processing of information that disconfirms beliefs and their corresponding expectancies (Moritz & Woodward, 2006; Woodward, Buchy, Mo- ritz, & Liotti, 2007; Woodward, Moritz, Cuttler, & Whitman, 2006

Editors note:
It seems that the researchers are observing that normal people can have ideas that are delusional as well as experiences in their world that resemble delusions. If you can not process or absorb enough information that is contradictory evidence to your normal belief then you maintain a delusion. Which can be a falsely held viewpoint or perspective of an event as well as a deeply held belief that contradicts normality.
The DSM definition of “delusion“ includes an important caveat: delusions are beliefs that are not ordinarily accepted by other members of the person’s culture or subculture.
Discovering delusional beliefs is a difficult thing to do but many examples exist in organized religion such as the delusion that the Noah legend is a fact and it happened exactly as written in the Bible. We would have vastly different DNA distributions if the Noah story or legend were 100% true. Scientifically what was described is impossible but as a legend or ancient play it makes sense and is acceptable. Teaching it to people as actual reality and not as a story is where a lifelong problem can start.
A medical example:
“A small heart attack is OK” “We are trying to give that person a small heart attack so they go to the hospital and have a liver transplant”
More real world Christianity examples:
If you are dealing with the newly converted Christians for example it makes no sense for them to try to “Talk to Satan” or be “Spirit Warriors for Jesus” and attack Satan or evil spirits by yelling at them or playing tapes at an echo.
Another delusional belief would be: “We are training a Angel to come to the church where it can speak to the congregation” Believing that you can do that (Control an Angel) is contrary to your own religion and is by definition a delusion. It’s not a normal belief in your Christian culture.
Yet another delusional statement (actually put forward by a local pastor) was: “Your mind is not your own all your thoughts are from Satan” He told their family: “You need to talk to that person 24 hours a day so Satan can not get back in her mind”.
Official Magic and Witchcraft News: Rock and Roll Religion
Weall need to realize that a lot of people like the culture and the philosophies of magic and witchcraft. They like talking about magic, witches, and witchcraft and learning about the subject. Participation to them is largely reading,meeting and talking about it. Every cultureon planet earth has some kind of stories and legends about magic. That’s what draws people to the subject.

Largely lost to time is how people taught the subject to their children. When you have a vast gulf between the language people use to describe their magic practices— how they describe what they are actually doing and what they really believe—you realize that there is a educational gap. Ten percent of the world bought books on the subject because they are interested, but there seems to be a basic gap in public knowledge of how “magic really works”. There are some misunderstandings the size of whole oceans, you might call it a mission for Leviathan.

These are misunderstandings and differences in perspectives that have persisted for a few thousand years. Today 75 years after a cataclysmic war that threatened the lives of everyone on the whole planet we finally have the time and resources to discover our ancient belief paths and cultures and take a new look at what we believe in today, guided by our new shared global perspectives on what is important to us. Colleges and academic researchers have given us new hope for our culture and beliefs. We need to get the message out that what we believe is real, it’s based on science and facts, it’s all over the whole world and it’s finally legal in the United States of America.
One obscured perspectiveis that some people who practice magic are afraid of the rituals and the religions. It’s a big scary experience for them. This is because they believe in it. They truly believe in the old religions. Their respect levels are tremendous. So to us this just as real as the new religions and just as scary to commit your time and perhaps your afterlife to it. Another unrevealed perspective is their tolerance for other people’s beliefs and religions as long as they are not fighting you to make you believe what they believe.
Here is a simple rule I was taught that makes all the difference in the world: Be nice first. If you happen to find or talk to a spirit or ghost how do you know it’s not a god or goddess or perhaps a evil spirit or demon? If you met the devils on earth why would you ever be mean to it/him/her? This may sound like the world’s most obvious statement but if you knew who said it to me it will change your whole world. That’s what the world needs to hear, the old simple beliefs that we were taught as children that most of the books miss telling you today. Be nice to the spirit or devil first, otherwise you could have a very bad day. This also works with God(dess) and believe it or not this is NOTfound in the christian bible stated that plainly. Be nice first.
If you would like to learn more please be patient as we put it together. Coming soon we will have a new way to contribute to the continuation of the work that Schools, Academics, Researchers and Practitioners are doing by being able to directly help fund their projects tax free and help them advance their careers once again with the original church with no name.
