>>40511999>Not decades, at least not to make some tiny effect.This isn't an insignificant comparison when we consider what the normalfags inevitably will imagine. They don't mean jiggling a marker or spinning a little top and I think that's more than just a fair expectation.
>It will still take a bit, but the issue is less in time and more in the methods used and whether the person already has certain faculties developed.It's about predispositions. You know how certain dogs were trained to alert predators/prey, some were used to herd and others are just supposed to look pretty? A lot of that plays into how this works with humans also.
The general idea here is seeking to perform these sort of comic book feats isn't really worth anyone's time. Sure, someone can probably do it with loads of practice, but training when you're a child is far easier, hence being the most common method.
>In general thought you'll have more success following honestly some spiritual path of self-refinement that may let you develop some abilities as a side-effect than practicing to get a particular ability directly.In fairness, this is the sort of insight I was looking for. Going searching for le magic powers will certainly lead to someone making some bargain they can't retract or hurting themselves or someone else to accomplish something they'll find out later wasn't all that worth it.
>traditions in generalTraditions have long been developed most intensely inside of genetics-focused systems. I know this is tough to deal with because you can't just alter your genetics (sort of), so everyone feels stuck and supposedly unable to unbind themselves from predetermined qualities of their experience, but I have to adamantly insist that this isn't a perspective conducive to your proper alignment.
Why not consider ways to work around this? Why not use the teachings of said traditions to empower yourself outside of this predicament? That's sort of the whole point, you know.
