a -witchy- scientific method
Tis the season...
If you know anything particularly useful when it comes to examining empirical information or testable scientific evidence, you'll notice that theory proposition is biased almost entirely on what is experienced as input from the outside. It's so deeply engrained throughout modern understanding that the interior mind (that is nicely wrapped into the noggin) can in some way not affect or be affected by the outside, or worse isn't entirely influenced by the outside. So much so, that when compounded by alternative observer minds that can actually agree to a thing and what that thing is, we feel have proof that, that thing, is truly a thing! Boo!
Before we go on, this isn't written in bluster over the silly idea that science is incorrect or that it's methods are useless. It's indelibly clear that this practice is the witchcraft of old, constantly building on what is previously unheard of and unimagined. A direct method of creation, by way of universal design. The main caveat though, is there are no independent driver(s), no scientist that exist out there that are immune to in-here-itis, even isolated.
Just as writing this or utilizing mediation methods takes practice, the repeatable is the only narrative anyone has as proof of truth (i.e. we are required to breath in and out). As you repeat the words and including the understandings of the methods (try-test-modify-repeat) you'll see the interconnectedness not only of language, but of existence. We unfortunately codify truth in an either/or scenario when it's clearly an either and or, unhindered.
Given this, there are no independent individual anythings, meaning a being that can manipulate, or even subsist, outside of existence. There is a critical misnomer among those of religious ilk (and in turn scientific measure) that things have true existences. These truly independent existences (god, an atom, a person, place or thing) cannot be substantiated, as we would, one, never experience them, and two, they could never truly impact anything about any immediate personal reality with willful intent (note that both cases are inextricably tied to each other, a duality).
