So I gather...Ah, I see what you were referring to.<br /><br />So I gather that your concept of spiritual experience has to do with a literal spirit or soul separate from the body.<br /><br />I know many who subscribe to this idea. I personally fall short of believing in such things. <br /><br />This is not to say that I rule out the possibility that there are powers of the mind that we do not fully understand.<br /><br />I have seen glimpses of my own brain functions that hold promise for experiences I am unable to tap into at will.<br /><br />I see claims of above average intelligence associated with psychics and mediums as a defense against the skeptics. (I have heard this before as defense of many concepts)<br /><br />My own brushes with the dead have all been in the form of memories triggered by stimulous in my environment that I associate with the deceased.<br /><br />Any predictions of my future by so called psychics have proven false or could apply to anyone.<br /><br />I have had premonitions, which I can easily attribute to instinctual responses to circumstances that I have experienced sometime in my past. Sometimes they play out, sometimes not.<br /><br />Of course, I remain open to all possibilities. But I need more to go on than faith or the word of others.<br /><br />Hudini very much wanted to believe in such things, but was routinely dissapointed when he tried to contact the dead.<br /><br />Skeptics have offered rewards for evidence, but to date I am unaware of any takers.<br /><br />I kind of like the WPM definition of death. <br /><br />At this time I have asked to be cremated and have my ashes spread near a river where my father fished as a kid. It would give me great pleasure to know that my remains become part of that place.Charles Bergemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914463983456818662noreply@blogger.com
