you could have been having the same delusion for 40 years, something that by the very nature of delusions is actually probable, if the person having them indulges and accepts them.

again you seem to think the experiences in themselves count for something, observer bias tells us they dont, there is no way to verify anything off of experiences alone.

What if your experiences intervene with reality, showing themselves to be true?

Two years ago whilst in Holland with my wife, I lead on the bed and saw that the town centre was cordoned off by the police, fire engines were everywhere, with people standing behind yellow tape. I told my wife.
A few hours later after a sleep wash and some food. We both went to the town centre were we both worked at the time.
Sure enough, the town centre was cordoned off to the public. There was a bomb scare at the wax’s museum.

Delusions are thought provoked, like dreams my visions are real, nothing to do with thoughts...

for every time you remembered that you have changed the memory slightly.
there is also the possiblity of coincidence, statistics dictate that they should happen every single day to multiple people.

Our lives are paved with fortune and misfortune, and they always take matters into their own hands, in the form of fate and destiny...

There are no coincidences...

Has anybody had an out of body experience on this site? If you have, do you then tell people you know we have a spirit, or settle with saying I believe we have one, two different notions altogether, knowing and belief.

So would you tell others of your experiences, or keep it to yourself in fear of coming up against people with their head trapped at the foot of the rabbit hole? A question for you Mr Auckland..


**To those that know, not explanation is necessary, to those that dont, none is possible**

walk away, your job is not to convince others, and it will weaken you, spirit decides who can see.... remember many go mad talking and argueing now as you do....

Sometimes in life its best to just hang your head, have a little cry, and walk away....

Remember the oligarchy used to kill people like you!

People like me would have been burnt at the stake 300 years ago.

Up until the 60s and 70s I would have been locked up electrocuted and given sedatives to mute me. (Something that almost happened to me if it wasn't for my mother)
