Why would you not have guessed that? From Webster's:Really? From what I know of your beliefs, I would have guessed you were somewhat superstitious.
Athletes are notoriously superstitious.

Only a little, and in context of what is lucky or not lucky. Knowing it is baseless.
Logic has always been my modus operandi towards the paranormal and spiritual. Maybe because I'm a skeptic and a believer in many spiritual and paranormal things, I have become good at slicing away that not based on reasoned thinking.
Yes, but I believe there are genuine causes (i.e. positive/negative producing vibrations). If I did not believe this real causation exists I would not believe in such things. This is not what I call 'superstition' but my best understanding of reality.Do you believe your thoughts (positive or negative) can have a causal-influence beyond your own personal mind or consciousness?
If you believe minds are joined at a higher-level (which you appear to believe), then it would make rational sense that this could indeed occur. In fact, I see this as the possible rational basis for the so-called irrational superstition of the "evil-eye," which is ubiquitous in all traditional cultures.
It's curious. I'd love to know why. But I think most know superstitions are baseless.That's interesting.
There are.That's an interesting thought. Some have argued that there is a connection between OCD ("obsessive-compulsive disorder") and magical thinking or superstitious beliefs.

I don't think it's 'magic'. I think it's part of 'science'. Vibrations can effect our higher bodies; that's not magic or superstition in my view. There is rational basis for the belief. I would not call fear of being stabbed by a physical knife a superstition. I'm just replacing knife with a 'negative vibration in a higher dimension' in my argument.But I would argue that your belief meets Merriam-Webster's general definition of "superstition," which defines the term as "a belief or way of behaving that is based on fear of the unknown and faith in magic or luck : a belief that certain events or things will bring good or bad luck." You believe that the "magic" of positive or negative vibrations (thoughts) can bring you good or bad luck.
Yes that would be true, a spanner on the head wouldn't be very nice lol.I usually avoid walking under ladders and scaffolding, but that's because I used to be in the building trade and know how clumsy builders can be.
What would happen if you didn't pick it up ?.I voted yes. If I see a penny, I'll pick it up.
No, well not these days, my so called spiritual practice is seeing myself and everything else as one, or God if you like, but no superstations involved.Do you have any spiritual practices that may be construed as superstitious?

Not a good idea.. some old wives tales happen to be TRUE.. Don't be stupid, walk AROUND the ladder. Things fall off of ladders, people fall off of ladders, ladders THEMSELVES fall.I voted no, if I see a ladder, I will walk under it.
You believe in MIRACLES.. and you aren't superstitious.. ok.. different definitions for superstitions.Really? From what I know of your beliefs, I would have guessed you were somewhat superstitious.
Yea your right, I don't really make a habit of it, it was me just making a point, I don't believe in superstations.Not a good idea.. some old wives tales happen to be TRUE.. Don't be stupid, walk AROUND the ladder. Things fall off of ladders, people fall off of ladders, ladders THEMSELVES fall.
What the heck are you trying to PROVE by walking under like that? That you are so un-superstitious that things can't harm you?
