I would love to hear more about how you are pursuing christian magick and what traditions you are following. If nothing else, I would like to correspond with your husband on the techniques he is using and the results he is getting. I am currently working with meditation, prayer, cabala, and some enochian. - Crat ...

The patient is at times quite normal, but can lapse into the 'withdrawl" as you put it. As to the dopamine imbalance, nobody is quite sure if this is the case. (Is it just a coincidence that the mind-altering drug THC is more commonly referred to as 'dope'? I think not, but some of the people who use it I have serious doubts as to their mental capacity for creating such a nickname so closely related...)

Mundane is where things of a mundane nature, like enforcing echo policy, are posted, as well as chat messages.
