RE: Religion will dramatically shrink
They tend to use that 80% criterion elsewhere, too, like in special education.

Science texts are constantly outdated because of this, whereas the archaic holy storybooks continue to be reprinted verbatim just as they were a thousand years ago.

Bad imagination will be found out.

Why only 80%? If someone is truly clairvoyant, shouldn't they be able to predict the future with 100% accuracy? Why does nobody ever predict such major events like 9/11 or Japan's earthquake & tsunami until after they occur? What good is clairvoyance if you're going to miss predicting such major events? And what good is it if you can't rely on it 100%?

We are spiritual being first, having human experiences, nobody is perfect. I would have gotten 100% for the past 30 years, if Bush did not get elected the second time, it would of cut me down to 97%, still I think it was fixed.

Can you tell me what the UK lotto numbers will be for the next ten times? I'm hoping you'll get it right at least 8 times, seen as you're right 80% of the time...

Regardless of whether it was fixed or not you should have been able to see the outcome. Unless of course you were just guessing.

I don't work that way, greed is a lower energy and it would block or interfere the open and honest mind canalling to tap into the higher energy.

For the fun of it, I once guessed on three horses at a race horse track,and numbers worked because I got to touch the horses before the race and felt their energy, dam!!! I just don't gamble.

I don’t know any others that can; I guess you’re out of luck

Hey! the best things in life are free!!!

Oh, absolutely. Religion is like a barometer to find the idiots.

If you gave someone else the winning lottery numbers, how exactly would that be greed on your part. I would like the winning decades of dollars numbers for Arkansas tonight. If I win, I'd defend your abilities to everyone on this board
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me

"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon

We all have naturally talents, some of them we cannot explain. Most of the success of natural talents are by working our desires, attitude and focus along with that talents, that also increases your luck chances in life. The rich have abilities with numbers and prediction worth of products

I took the poorest paid field in the nation: ART/ Entertainment and made myself a millionaire. The worst part about being rich is money has the least to do with happiness and today I have found a better balance. About 1% of the rich control most of the world's wealth on earth. I once dealt with a lot of millions and the odd billionaire and the worst virtue I've experience is their greed and the power that corrupts that often processes them. Generally I would not depend on the American dream that most of them have designed for you, because most of us are already owned and financial enslaved by the rich. The other four factor in life are the of balance in relationships, your physical, spiritual and intellectual.
