Not all can manage the suspension of disbelief, though, and you are one of those. Of course I wouldn’t especially my beloved son who was devastated at the loss of his dad. And, you are wrong it doesn’t require a suspension of belief, it is simply an experience you take from it what you want or leave it. In the end, it only matters the impact it has on one personally. I have shared tales too, I chalked mine off to hallucinations, I don’t for a second believe in angels, or god etc. but I don’t need to. It’s the take away that matters, how I use my subjective experiences to navigate the tough times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the take away that matters, how I use my subjective experiences to navigate the tough times. The error here is two fold. First, that belief is required for contact with angels etc. You don't have to believe in dogs to encounter them. It is the same with any real thing Second, that belief comes from a need which somehow makes a person believe in things and even imagine things. Thus, should you ever come into contact with an angel, you are likely to dismiss it as an hallucination, rather than attempt to engage with it, or learn from it .

I admire anyone who can speak, or write, in more than one language, but there is no point in posting if your posts don't make sense. Many of his sentences are so poorly constructed as to be unintelligible . Others are a lot better. I dont know if he does use a translating algorithm, or does his own translating, but it is very inconsistent You two are the only two who have ever complained that he is unintelligible. I wonder if It isn’t you. I think it might be. He is literally brilliant, I have had many wonderful conversations with him in pm. He has given me a leg up on Eastern thought and Philosophy. It is nothing against you, but he might be over your head. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on No one may have complained but many of the sentences are so poorly written as to require guesswork to decipher them She clearly has a good mind and some comments are intelligent but many cant be deciphered because the y are gibberish On the other hand her lack of abilty in sentence construction worries me a lot less than the anger frustration and vitriol demonstrated Sheclralry feels given the peronal commentry she makes its one worse than yours which is at least shaded by an attempt a t civility.

Meanwhile. i have never found that belief or need has any effect on reality, Things are what they are If an angel or ghost is there it is there because its there, not because of any subjective need on my part. If i was not present then the angel/ ghost etc would still be there. We don't construct such things, we perceive and interpret them (That is MY experience) I appreciate that needs can cause people to construct beliefs But the y also construct them for many other reasons, as part of our evolved cognitive tool box Ive explained before that i neither intrinsically believe nor disbelieve in anything. I know stuff and where i don't have knowledge, I maintain an open mind and use logic and available evidences to come up with a "best fit " answer. And yes, because i have no fear, or need, of ghosts, angels, gods or aliens, if i encounter one, i do all I can to engage it and learn from it, rather than deny its existence or try to get away from it Edited October 30, 2019 by Mr Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple have been kind enough to admit to this. Edited October 30, 2019 by Mr Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
