It was my somewhat crude attempt to suggest that such experiences not be judged. They are what they are. "Judging" such experiences as either authentic or false messages from aliens or god, in a sense, only makes us go around in circles as we argue incessantly over who might be behind the curtain that Toto sees. I'm trying to suggest that the experience itself, in whatever costumes and theatre it's currently playing in, may matter more than the endless speculation over whom the actors might be portraying the characters. The version will change with the times, with the culture. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
