I heard a lot about people doing magic, and others doing psychic stuff.
So I decided to know a little bit more about them. First we are all psychic, wich means everyone have psychic powers but to be able to use them you must develop them by using some techniques that helps the brain to concentrate. Some of my relatives are psychic, like my moms cousin had a dream before the assasination of our formal vice president, and in her dream she saw the assasination happening. And after couple of months the next thing I knew is that the assasination happened. Since then I started beleiving in psychic powers. Somtimes I have dreams, and they show me somethings that will happen in the future, and they happened. I knew people who can make things move but just a little bit by concentrating.
Next the sixth sense, and for people who don't know about it: It is a sense like touching and smelling and seeing, but it is not physical, wich means you can't see it!! It is having the feeling of something dangerous before it happened. A couple of times I had these feelings. I always know when the telephone will ring before it actionely rings, is that related to the sixth sense?
Magic, I do beleive in it!! Because I saw people doing magic when I went to Egypt. They can seperate married couples by sending the devil to make problems between them, and in most cases it leads to a divorce. The law doesn't confess in magic. But I think they should take a closer look at it. And magic is also forbidend by some religions because it is beleived that it is the work of the devil. Magic is also used for controlling people. That's weird!! And spooky!!

Personaly, I do not believe in magic. Sometimes it does seem that what they do is real, but I do not believe it. I can't explain the psychic powers, but even after that, I still do not believe in it. Perhaps your moms cousin was just thinking about a death, but no one in particular. It's an interesting idea. As for the work of the devil, I do not believe that because not all things that are magic are bad. One day this might be proven, but it's hard to believe.

i have had dreams before they happend....a lot of my friends have too. is that a thing that occurs to everyone? but i cant ever tell when the phone is about to ring....but i get this feeling when something bad is about to happen.....i cant say i believe in magic....but i think that people that do it have a real love for it so who am i to stop them? i am sure many of you are familial with the show mindfreak....well not much of that stuff can/should be percieved as real....but he has a love for it and some is fake and some is real....but if he has that much of a love for it we shouldnt torment him or anything because we arent anybody to judge people

I do suppose those things are real, but I wont fully believe in them until I actually experience something like that. I have heard and been told such things like that. I have also investigated a few things because of my curiosity. I found out about a couple of not so normal things that you can do with your mind. Just like the impressive things that I have read the monks in asia can do, and about that dreaming thing, I think you should look for Lucid Dreams. There is a great forum at a page called: www.ld4all.com

I mean, it is not hard to believe, if experts all around the world have agreed that we have only been able to use about 10% of our brain. What other secrets can the other estimated 90% do?

we can only use 10 percent of our brain?...well then maybe those people that are "magical" and stuff have a gift that makes them use 20 or 30 percent....some people can just not be so open-minded and say none of it is true....it makes it believable if you know that fact....thanks!

I have personally had many "images of the future" come true for me -- and I can also seem to find missing objects (like car keys) without ever having had contact with the objects. It freaks me out a bit, but I kinda think that there is something that I am in tune with sometimes. It helps to be "zen" when I notice any of my supposed powers. I guess that this speaks to the deep trance that is part of some mage and especially shaman pre-ceremonies.

The biggest problem with people believing in psychics is that they can't be proved using the scientific method. Several experiments have been tried on this, and the results were that the "success"' rate of the psychics was the same as the chance rate. Also if psychic people exist, how come they haven't won the lottery yet? Yeah most probably believe "using their powers only towards good", but I am sure there are a few more greedy exceptions.

Also about the magic you described. If it's true, how come we don't see more of it on TV and in the news? And about how devil can come between a couple, has anyone actually seen this "devil"? I think that this only happens by chance. Also is there any other spells you have seen in Egypt? Some might seem a bit more realistic, it would be interesting to see if there could be any explanation for them.
