yes, yes, absolutely not
It's both tiresome and kind of concerning how people are talking about magic so much here. If you actually believe it's real, you have an obvious responsibility to demonstrate it to the scientific community because it has humanitarian implications. If not, then save it for roleplaying games or whatever.
Agree. Woo shit is bad for society.
I thought this was c/badposting for a second
Gonna dodge the question here because the answer was yes to all of them at one point.
BUT I RAN INTO A SMALL PROBLEM
Magic is not compatible with a materialist scientific understanding of the world and is thus counter-revolutionary. 
Yes
Yes
Today while astral projecting I summoned Allah to try and weaken him so our hexing spells would work better.
He is so fucking powerful. I'm not at a power level to do this alone. I barely escaped with my life and I'm spiritually injured to a great amount, but I think I'll make it.
I can't imagine what he would do to a new, unsuspecting witch. I'm scared that I will have to face him again soon if I ever want to continue astral projecting. I'm currently burning healing incense and drawing spiritual energy from my crystals to try and heal as quickly as possible.
Please be safe everyone. Allah is much stronger than I first imagined and we will have to do this together if we want to slay a god.
Yes, hallucinogens can be fun and maybe therapeutic. I don't ascribe higher meaning from the thoughts and feelings though.
No.
No.
Almost nobody understands a standard logical AND operator here in Lemmyville . I'm clearly looking for people for whom the answer to all 3 questions is YES. Because I want to talk to peers.
This is a ridiculous way to disparage people. Technically your question is most literally answered with a single yes/no rather than three, but it is not failing to answer the question to answer for the individual values because their logical relationship to the output is established by the question anyway. People are just giving you fuller answers than "Yes" [end comment] or "No" [end comment]. You didn't say "only reply if you're a hippy wizard," you asked "are you a hippy wizard?", to which "No" is no less valid an answer than "Yes".
I would suggest that you spend just a tiny bit of the time you currently spend on logic circuits on pragmatics instead, because it might help you to not feel the need to attack people for answering in a way that would normally be considered more helpful (by means of "showing one's work") than spitting out a Boolean.
Honey rather than vinegar so on and so forth. Don't be a dick
Sorry
1 - Hallucinogens are a fun time with my partner and close friend(s) and sometimes they can make me very introspective in a way that alters how I live my life.
2 - I've attempted meditation but it always feels like a waste of time to me. I could just be reading instead tbh.
3 - esotericism and occultism are really cool from a detached perspective. I adore their aesthetics and especially their history (all glory to Dr. Sledge) but I don't believe in them.
I think the process of deep introspection and working with hallucinogens can result in deeply personal metaphors or mystical experiences that don't really fit in with the quotidian experience, but it's important to remember that these are just ways of altering your perception of reality, everything outside your skull continues to operate as it always has.
For a bit in my early 20s and then I stopped doing 2 and 3 cause they were silly
stop being galaxybrain and become voidbrain
I was a Discordian for a couple years. Im good.
I don't need hallucinogens to see the wonder and beauty of the world tho
its true, only the most powerful magicians draw upon nothing but the power of beanis 
All things possible thru beanis
Yes No No
Psychedelics are helpful to people on an individual level, but I've interacted with too many people who took acid a few times, determined their meaning of life is the truth, and then still act like entitled POS lol
