Daenerys said:loreta said:I remember always, when talking about the Ouija the movie The Exorcist. In the movie the bad situation starts with the Ouija... Ok, it is a movie. But also a message.
It was a very powerful message too. It has been discussed here before but I cannot find the exact reference I would like to use. Mention channeling via a " board" and the knee jerk hysterical reaction stemming from the viewing of that movie is pretty predictable. Shoot, fundamentalists practically froth at the mouth. Using a board and multiple persons while implementing the scientific method is the most objective way, it seems, yet many people are less afraid of trance channeling as opposed to anything to do with a board. That movie laid down the very programming code that prevents many people from being open minded at all about any of the information that comes from Laura and QFS.
It reminds me of the movie Jaws also. After that movie came out, beaches everywhere started to lose money and vacationers at a very rapid pace. Even though the statistics of shark attack are actually very low, the subconscious fear that movie generated had a real world viable effect. It also sent many a macho man out to do battle, killing many great white's needlessly.

The story of shark attacks seemed so real that it caused a panic that summer of 1975. The film frightened people away from beaches and coastal areas suffered huge economic losses. Jaws had a powerful impact not just as a masterful film but as an unintended cautionary alarm. One small shark was beaten to death when it beached in Florida. Peter Benchley’s bestselling novel, and the film, made shark fear trendy.
It all boils back down to back and white thinking and subconscious reactions. That being said, what Laura and the mods are saying is also very true. It is a useful way to work on programs and attachments IF one has a great deal of experience, knowledge, and possess great spiritual hygiene. That being said, that rules out the vast majority, even the vast majority of people here on this forum, including myself . As always the devil is in the details. and the law of three decides.
Exactly my point: The Exorcist movie gave the Ouija board a bad rep it does not deserve. It won't cause someone to be possessed like in the movie.
