Finally, a point worth dealing with.
It's because it makes you deal with your own
perceptions and analyze them in a way that most
people never have to or get to.
Let's say you see something like levitation,
and no one else is around. But you saw it.
NOW you've got something interesting going
on for you that you didn't have the day before.
You have an experience that you can NEVER, in
any circumstance, convince others that it
happened, or was true. It's subjective. If a
video camera had been there at the time you
saw it, it might have recorded what you saw
and it might not. You'll never know.
All you know is that you saw what you saw.
Now you get to deal with that, and decide
whether to trust your own experience or not.
That's a remarkable gift, in my opinion.
Most people don't ever get to deal with it,
certainly not those whose closest relationship
to paranormal phenomenona is reading about them.
Having such an experience doesn't make you any
better than anyone else. Having to DEAL WITH
having had such an experience, IMO, makes one
a bit more interesting. Those are the kinds of
people I'm looking for to have conversations
with.
There are a few people here on FFL who have
had such subjective experiences, whether it be
of odd phenomena or their own subjective exper-
iences of higher states of consciousness. I like
dealing with them *because* I can identify with
the changes that their subjective experiences and
learning to trust them have put them through.
The rest of the people strike me as pretty boring,
actually. I mean, LOOK at them! THEIR approach to
levitation and such things is that they want it
to be a scientific, measurable phenomenon so that
there is NO challenge to them when they finally
observe it -- it;ll bee just like everything else
in their lives. Fuckin' wimps, if you ask me... :-)
And that's that on that subject. You can go back
to trashing me now... :-)
