I heard a lot of stories about anting-anting (Talisman) but i never have one? If i have and experience it's power maybe i will believe that its real.

you will have one when you are called to possess it. it requires some sort of responsibility as it is not a toy. when ur ready with life, it will come to to you.

for me , i believe in anting anting, coz i have one. I was stabbed but it does not penetrate me. i have no wounds. to have your medalion or anting or oraciones to have power requires true responsibility. long hours of praying, believe in power of God. If you really want it God will show you. Just trust God. Here on earth God makes an instrument for those believers. There is so much long prayers of devotions everyday. It requires patience, kindness etc...

I'm in the U.S. right now but I grew up in the Philippines and there are many anting-antings there that are being sold under the bridge in a place called Quiapo. If you're a Filipino, then you must know what I'm talking about. I don't particularly believe in anting-anting but I believe in the power of the mind. I think that if you believe that you won't die or won't get hurt when somebody kills you (like stab you), then it's the very belief that the anting-anting works for you and not the thing itself, that makes things happen (or not happen).

Real talismans are not really sold. You get it by sacrificing. Things you see in Quipo are accessories or borloloys...hehe..What is i tell you that bullets neveer hurt that friend of mine who was shot. Bullets sort of bounced from his body..Well unbelievable!!! But these things happen. These happen because the power is real. We just dont know how it happen and the method by which this is learned. In short, we are ignorant. If there is anyone who knows about this, please let me know.

hi there..
well i dont know if i would have to believe this personally. because i never had one, and dont intend to keep one either^_^
but heard stories about it for quite sometime and i really dont know if it was true.
one thing i believed in is the power of prayer, beyond anything else^_^
thanks a bunch...

Isn't it a psychology matter?Some may feel more confident after wearing or putting something like necklace on.
The truth is, these things does not really helps and it plays our mind.Thats my point of view and maybe some will disagree with me.I do believe that there may be some coincident when things happen whether go0d or bad after you wear or put something on.
By the way, who knows.

some may feel beautiful after putting on a nice dress... its the line of the argument..but as to the standard of beauty, she may fail... reality is judged not on its subjective value but rather on its objective truth..we may percieve god exists..we may not.. wo which is which??? he exists because we think he does? or he exists what ever we think of him? we're dealing with entities separate from our own. it is not our perception that make thinks exist such as the power of talismans. otherwise, we will never have minds as we cant see them.hehehethanks

I think, sometimes, having something that we believe in, makes us stronger and gives us the will to take more risks. The people who believes in it, are the ones making it true.. and for us wonderers... we are the ones making it..... am.... questionable.. hehehhe.. (Im sorry I just don't know how to describe us.. :) )
Happy posting!
