Lets be real, chances are nobody else is going to see that page or even know precisely what it is.

The very act of disputing and arguing with this technique implies that you are missing the point.

If you think it silly, then dont do it & go troll another thread.

This thread is for anyone else who is actually willing to try on different techniques.
What friends you accept on a facebook page are irrelevant. Anyone can view the first part of the page. I am not a facebook member, but I do searches on acquaintances every so often. I can see the main page.

Thus, hypothetically speaking, if I saw the main page to your "entity", I could easily send good energy, bad energy, or be aware that it is there and siphon energy off of it.

Also, reading one author who has a nonstandard view of what an "entity" is does not an expert make.

Mass hysteria and mass complacency are flip sides of the same coin. Never panic, always think for yourself. Question all information, even from those individuals and sources you hold most cherished, for in those instances, complacency and hysteria alike become all too easy. All information either comes from humans or is filtered through the human mind (our own or another's) and thus subject to human faults no matter if it comes from a scientist or a messiah. Question it. And constantly question yourself.

Touché. My point is, someone give me a holler when the thing is checking its own facebook page.

Hmm. I think that it's a very interesting idea. I personally wouldn't do it but I am barely on facebook anyway. I do think that there could be a problem if you are not careful. You need to be very specific as to how it can feed and what it can feed on, as well as make sure that it is obedient to you. Even though people may not see the page, there is always google and someone may just stumble upon it. Still I think that if handled properly, it can be a valuable energy source, especially if you are really in to facebook. I wouldn't make it the sole way that it can feed though (I know that you aren't saying that necessarily, I just wanted to make the point..).

I want to see the Facebook page.

Are all of your creations friends with one another?

(I'm having a "do not feed the trolls" moment.)

Please if your going to try and use the language of the pagan circles at least learn what the words mean.

I dunno, I've heard them described interchangeably as entities and servitors.

entity
In general, an entity (pronounced N-tih-tee ) is an existing or real thing. The word root is from the Latin, ens , or being, and makes a distinction between a thing's existence and its qualities. An entity exists and that's all it needs to do to be an entity. The fact that something exists also seems to connote separateness from other existences or entities. In programming, engineering, and probably many other contexts, the word is used to identify units, whether concrete things or abstract ideas, that have no ready name or label. In blackboard discussions, one can draw something as yet unnamed and refer to that drawing as the representation of an "entity." (If the entity being discussed later gets ascribed qualities and a name, reference to it as an "entity" may no longer be useful.)

entity [ˈɛntɪtɪ]
n pl -ties 1. (Philosophy) something having real or distinct existence; a thing, esp when considered as independent of other things
2. existence or being
3. the essence or real nature [from Medieval Latin entitās, from ēns being; see ens]
entitative [ˈɛntɪtətɪv] adj

en·ti·ty (nt-t) n. pl. en·ti·ties 1. Something that exists as a particular and discrete unit: Persons and corporations are equivalent entities under the law.
2. The fact of existence; being.
3. The existence of something considered apart from its properties.



Please show me anywhere in any defination that an entity is a thing created! Sorry to reference some author's use of the word incorrectly as to how it is utilized in the Pagan / Heathen communtiy does not support the argument.



With the first definition; It states their inability to know what exactly constitutes an entity, so why couldn't a servitor fit under there?

Second definition; It mentions abstract ideas (in reference to computers), so again, why not a servitor? We as humans are bio-computers, so could not our abstract ideas be seen as an entity?

Third and fourth definitions; This is where I'd like to base my argument. These to things are basically saying that if something exists, if it is, its an entity. Gravity would be an entity, dark matter would be an entity. One's invisible, and the others a theory, so again, why not a servitor?

Also, why can't a person create an entity? We create babies. Yes, I understand that some people may believe that we don't create the soul that inhabits the person, but our belief in a soul is irrelevant. Two humans copulate, out pops a baby. Two dogs copulate, out pops half a dozen puppies. Physical creatures create. Why sell ourselves short by saying the things we create on a mental level is not real (because if it was real, it would exist, and therefor be an entitiy)?
