Witchcraft! Do you believe in it?

Probably the same place as the "deep state" and "Shadow government"

People like this sense of connectedness, and therefore control (even if the controller is something external to them). This also gives a tangible cause (or being) against which these people can ascribe blame for undesirable things that happen. This perceived cohesive 'personified evil' becomes a target to fight against, which internalises the locus of control for these otherwise wild and unconnected events in their life.

This is why people enjoy blaming perhaps the Rothschildes, bankers, globalists, media monguls. It is comforting to believe someone is behind the chaos.

I'm certainly guilty of it, probably ascribing way more influence to Rupert Murdoch and his cohorts than really due. It's just so comforting to believe 'people are voting against their own interests because Ozyank brainwashed them into hating immigrants'.

I'm not wanting to go into the politics of it out of respect for the moderation team, but I will comment on my own psychology.

My delusions of Murdoch's reach of influence are further entrenched my the results of last night's general election in the UK. Absolutely some confirmation bias happening here in my perspectives.

How does one prove a dream?

It’s possible to look at brain waves during sleep and show someone is within dreaming brainwave activity but..... how does one prove this or that happened in a dream last night?

Some experiences are personal. You know the dream happened. You experienced it. How can you prove what happened?

Why are you trying to "prove" a dream happened in the first place?

I’m getting at a point here.

There are things that happen in this world that aren’t provable, yet they happen none the less.
