Greetings, and welcome to The /x/ Files, the weekly news digest for 4chan's Paranormal board. Every Sunday, we take a quick snapshot of the mysterious world around us and bring it, in an easily readable magazine format, to the board. I am The Editor, the anonymous creator of this idea and collector of the news that will be following below. In the interests of legitimacy, I will be using a secure tripcode to post the thread; once the posts are completed, I will take the tripcode off and return to my anonymity.
So E3 is a thing going on right now. My hopes aren't high, to be honest. There's nothing I'm really looking forward to playing. In the news, however, we got more Mad Scientist shit, and a couple of new archaeological discoveries of note. All that, along with the usual stuff, in Issue Thirty-Freaking-One of The /x/ Files!

US Scientists to Grow Human Organs in Pigs
With waiting lists for some organs stretching back years, a team of scientists at the University of California, Davis are working to produce human-pig embryos known as chimeras which could one day be used to custom-grow replacement organs using the recipient's own DNA.
The process begins by using a technique known as CRISPR gene editing to remove the DNA from a pig embryo that would enable the foetus to grow a specific organ such as a pancreas. This genetic 'niche' is then filled with human induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cells which, if all goes to plan, will eventually grow in to an actual human organ within the body of the fully-grown animal. "Our hope is that this pig embryo will develop normally but the pancreas will be made almost exclusively out of human cells and could be compatible with a patient for transplantation," said reproductive biologist and study leader Pablo Ross.
The patient receiving the organ wouldn't even need to use immunosuppressants. "The organ would be an exact genetic copy of your liver but a much younger and healthier version and you would not need to take immunosuppressive drugs," said Professor Walter Low.
The research however has not been without a degree of controversy with some researchers warning that making a pig 'more human' could represent significant ethical concerns. There are even claims that some of the human cells could migrate to the animal's brain. "We think there is very low potential for a human brain to grow, but this is something we will be investigating," said Ross.

500-year-old Shipwreck Found in the Desert
Diamond miners from the DeBeers company have found a shipwreck laden with gold after draining a lagoon on Africa’s Skeleton Coast. In what has been described as one of the most significant shipwreck discoveries in recent memory, archaeologists have uncovered $13,000,000 of gold coins amongst the wreckage of the Bom Jesus, a ship which set sail from Lisbon in 1533 and disappeared with its entire crew on board near the Namibian diamond mining town of Oranjemund, on the way to India. The ship was also laden with other valuables such as tin, copper and ivory tusks.
Dr Dieter Noli from the Southern Africa Institute of Maritime Archaeological Research was called in to examine the site and quickly realised the Bom Jesus wreck was unique. “I knew that we had a ship from the early 16th century and that there would be a lot to find in very good [condition]. As luck would have it, we found the treasure chest on day six. A lot of stuff survived the 500 years on the bottom of the sea which should really not have done so.” Dr Noli believes the ship went down due to a combination of excess cargo and bad weather, although the true reason remains unknown.

Mysterious Monument Discovered in Ancient City of Petra
Well known for its incredible rock-cut architecture, the city of Petra, which was believed to have been founded around 2,300 years ago by the Nabataeans, is today visited by thousands of tourists each year and was named back in 2007 as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. While much is known about the spectacular buildings of the city's urban core, the surrounding area is still throwing up new discoveries and now, following a renewed investigation involving aerial drone photography and high-resolution satellite imagery, archaeologists have uncovered a vast ceremonial platform measuring around twice the width of an Olympic-size swimming pool.
Situated only half a mile from the city center, the new structure consists of a large platform with a smaller platform inside it as well as a row of columns where a large staircase once stood. It is quite unlike anything else ever found at the site and researchers believe that it was likely to have been used to conduct ceremonies that were attended by members of the public. "I've worked in Petra for 20 years, and I knew that something was there," Christopher Tuttle, executive director of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, told National Geographic. "But it's certainly legitimate to call this a discovery."

What's the deal with these guys, they seem to be the most 'unholy' holy men around. Can anyone tell me more about what they're about/suggest where to find more information?
>>17800941
What's so unholy about them.
I've got a run of core Aghori material from what appears to be a legit initiate with some pujas (missing advanced materials) in the library here: >>17799605

Can they poo in loo?
>>17800956
They may or may not, but obviously you're incapable of shitting anywhere but in-post.
Educate me on Baphomet
>>17800867
French mistranslation of either Baptist (John the,) or Abu Fiahma(t). Then later Eliphas Levi used the name for his image of perfect duality. Later still, people misunderstood it and thought it was some kind of daemon.
>>17800908
Don't forget the Christian smear campaign against pagan gods, particularly Pan. That's the basis of the "goat headed, cloven hoofed" imagery.
How's the no fun allowed abrahamic god meant to compete with the god of wine and revelry?

My little brother wakes up sometimes and says he sees a white girl at the foot of his bed, and its turning him into a druggie. Any help is appreciated, keks are welcome too
As ancient philosophers have asked "Where da white women at?", perhaps your brother should answer that and just fuck the spirit.
>>17800595
Wont he contract ghost aids?
>>17800615
No, she's described as white.
Hey /x/, something strange happened to me this morning....couldn't resist sharing.
>had somewhat of a deep thought that enlightened me on some things in my life
>heard this beeping sound in my brain, as if something was being activated or whatever
And no, it wasn't just the washing machine or my phone or whatever; it really sounded like it occurred inside my head and I've never heard that particular beeping noise before in my life. I thought it was kinda cool desu.
>>17800515
nigga you just high
That was pic related communicating with you OP
You are getting closer to enlightenment
>>17800530
What's the name of this meme so I can shitpost effectively?
So /x/ Is teleportation possible right now?
Discuss.
>>17800055
Sure. Where do you think the U.S. military budget is going?
>>17800069
For the general population. An ordinary human such as me. How would I teleport to a place in space?
>>17800055
if it proves that the universe is a simulation you should be able to.
>rules like gravity, what you need to understand is that these rules are no different than those in a computer program, some of them can be bent, others, can be broken.
Once you stop approaching the reality from the dogma that is is real and open your eyes to the truth the physics of reality become much more malleable, some call it magic
One week away
>>17799070
Oh wow, now the Japanese can be sellouts too. They just want their own Freddy VS Jason.
Agreed
>>17799070
How? Is someone going to watch the movie in the house or something?
These things don't even fight. they "get you" and then the camera pans back and you have a scary butthole mouth and your tongue is missing. at least Freddy and Jason were violent murderers
I really liked The Conjuring 2. I didn't even realize it was out, just saw it available and decided to give it a leap of faith. I really enjoyed it.
>What did you think?
>inb4 Warrens were fakes
>>17798410
Haven't seen it yet, so don't spoil me, but what(if anything) disappointed you about the film?
>>17798410
Great movie, first actually gave me heart palpitations though, so the movie had a lot to live up to
They did everything right, besides a very small oversight towards the end final scene, which I won't spoil for our friends here.
Anyone heard of the crooked man before? My first time
>>17798410

That's all I can remember. I cried after waking up and I cry everytime I remember it or see some serene picture with snow. I'm even crying now.

I have recurring dreams about a life that's different. A little backstory, I'd always wanted to be in the service, but when I was 17 I was hit by a drunk driver while on my motorcycle. Ended up getting pins in the tibias in both legs, permanent DQ.
>It's always nighttime, but not dark. Night like you see in a fairly large town/small city
>Friends from throughout my life, from elementary school through college always there
>I'm a lieutenant commander in the Navy, always back home on leave
>I'm healthy and happy
My life as I'd always imagined it before getting turned into a meat pie. What kills me isn't that, though.
>Dream evolves
>Have had long term relationships in the "Dark World"
>Moved to different places, always somewhere I've been before, but still I move around
>People living their lives in my dreams
>My "dark world" friends have had kids, gotten married, some have died (the ones who did, oddly, are still alive IRL)
Always wake up extremely sad because I *know* this is some sort of glimpse of another life, the one I'd wanted. I'm satisfied with who I am and how I am (except for the constant pain in my legs,) but some times I lay down and pray that I have one of those dreams, just to be truly happy again, even if just until I wake up.

Everybody is looking for Kṛṣṇa.
Some don’t realize that they are, but they are.
KṚṢṆA is GOD, the source of all that exists, the Cause of all that is, was, or ever will be.
As GOD is unlimited, HE has many Names.
Allah-Buddha-Jehova-Rama: ALL are KṚṢṆA, all are ONE.
God is not abstract; He has both the impersonal and the personal aspects to His personality, which is SUPREME, ETERNAL, BLISSFUL, and full of KNOWLEDGE. As a single drop of water has the same qualities as an ocean of water, so has our consciousness the qualities of GOD’S consciousness ... but through our identification and attachment with material energy (physical body, sense pleasures, material possessions, ego, etc.) our true TRANSCENDENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS has been polluted, and like a dirty mirror it is unable to reflect a pure image.
With many lives our association with the TEMPORARY has grown. This impermanent body, a bag of bones and flesh, is mistaken for our true self, and we have accepted this temporay condition to be final.
Through all ages, great SAINTS have remained as living proof that this non-temporary, permanent state of GOD CONSCIOUSNESS can be revived in all living Souls. Each soul is potentially divine.
Kṛṣṇa says in Bhagavad Gita: “Steady in the Self, being freed from all material contamination, the yogi achieves the highest perfectional stage of happiness in touch with the Supreme Consciousness.” (VI, 28)
YOGA (a scientific method for GOD (SELF) realization) is the process by which we purify our consciousness, stop further pollution, and arrive at the state of Perfection, full KNOWLEDGE, full BLISS.
If there’s a God, I want to see Him. It’s pointless to believe in something without proof, and Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain GOD perception. You can actually see God, and hear Him, play with Him. It might sound crazy, but He is actually there, actually with you.
There are many yogic Paths—Raja, Jnana, Hatha, Kriya, Karma, Bhakti—which are all acclaimed by the MASTERS of each method.

I attempted to evoke Prince Orobas, and I got my fucking shit pushed in. I'm starting to think I'm in over my head. I thought nothing was happening at first and then it got nasty. Pic is my setup - can you see where I went wrong, the general sloppiness of the triangle aside?
Is that a dollhouse? Looks like a dollhouse.
