Participation on the reference desk

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! I notice that your edits to the reference desk are not quite appropriate. The reference desk is meant to be a place where people can ask, and answer, factual questions- it is not a general chat forum. Thanks for keeping your comments at the reference desk relevant to the questions that are being asked there, and thanks in advance for doing research that would help answer others' questions. I hope you learn all you hope to! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cinquefoil, welcome to Wikipedia! In addition to FisherQueen's concerns, I've relocated your recent edit to the section on Astrology so that it preserves the order of edits there (most recent edits follow earlier edits, and responses are indented one level). If you'd like to use the WP Reference Desks constructively, we have guidelines that might be helpful. -- Scray (talk) 12:53, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for their cold welcome to a Reference Desk that includes quite a bit of chat. However, I should note that precognition is exceedingly hazardous, both to the safety of others and to the spirit. (Remember the scene with the vase from The Matrix) Very short-term prediction of immutable future events is, in my quite unusual opinion, essential for the operation of free will, as it creates a causality violation whereby one's actions cannot be predicted by physical law. When this "working fluid" is leaked, the result is a diminishment of the human spirit.

The Diocletian persecution was initiated due to the ability of those making the sign of the cross to interfere with the workings of court soothsayers. Though it seems like a strange ritual, this should be considered as a treatment for the disease. I think that faith is the diametric opposite of precognition.

I'm sorry that Wikipedia isn't what you expected - hopefully you'll think of other uses for it in time. There is a WP:right to vanish if you really want it, but I hope you'll hold off.

The Matrix scene shows an Oracle telling a man not to worry about breaking a vase. He turns around to look at it, and that is what breaks the vase. But the more the situation is understood, the more the hazard... Wnt (talk) 17:15, 28 October 2012 (UT

Your comments were interesting; I'm just not sure how to respond. Just out of curiosity - are any of your experiences associated with headaches in a particular location, and if so where? Wnt (talk) 23:16, 29 October

The following is a quote from a letter written by Carl Jung to Sigmund Freud dated 12th June 1911 : "My evenings are taken up largely with astrology. I make horoscopic calculations in order to find a clue to the core of psychological truth. Some remarkable things have turned up which will certainly appear incredible to you . . . . . I dare say we will one day discover in astrology a good deal of knowledge that has been intuitively projected into the heavens". Cinquefoil (talk) 19:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
