Do you believe in any these things...

I don't know how you define luck but I define luck as random things that happen to us. Sometimes we may be on the right side of the things and yet things may not go our way. We may do good to others and be honest and yet we can be very unlucky. What this tells is that Karma doesn't exist. Bad people get away with so many bad acts. Of course just because of randomness of things sometimes bad people suffer bad fate and then people say karma catches with you. I say it's not so. While luck doesn't play a very big role, sometimes it can play a vital role in making or breaking. This is not an excuse or an attempt to blame everything on luck. Of course, with hard work, honesty and intelligence we can overcome bad luck. But some people who get caught in accident or other things because of bad luck have to suffer their fate forever.

No: 1 through 6.  However, many people seem to pour their hard-earned money into these things.

No to all.

I believe in the Placebo effect and in self fulfilling prophecies.
Therefore, it's not possible to disprove the effectiveness of any of the things you listed. Just like with prayer.

A definite no to 1.to 5.



I am a bit wobbly on No 6...6) Luck/Fate/Karma/Ying-Yang 


I think I don't believe in any of that, yet I have had some weird things happen in my life that are inexplicable.


Aside from my royal heritage from Europe, my mother's side comes from UK and there is a Celtic thing called 'fei'.

It means having some exceptional intuition/foreknowledge/wisdom.


There have been some occasions when I am aware of this and hence some inexplicable things have happened.

(Some of you may remember some posts of mine about how I predicted that I would find a message in a bottle on the beach and within 20 minutes I had. I will tell the story again if anyone is that interested and it was not an isolated incident. Sometimes I just 'know' things and I don't logically know why)

I have also had some exceptional 'luck' even to the point of having survivor guilt that I wasn't killed in a VERY serious car crash when thousands of others are every day.

I call myself an agnostic atheist with some spiritual bent towards the philosophies of Buddhism, possibly because of this extra dimension in my life that logically I cannot explain. It does however revolve around self knowledge and responsibility on a grand scale.
