Yeah, us pesky educated people who prefer reason to lunacy. And yes, I would absolutely say a large percentage of people who claim to REGULARLY see visions or otherworldly ghostly figures have a neurological disorder.

It's also easy for anyone to say that there is no afterlife, but that does not mean there isn't one.
The problem with your belief that there is no afterlife, is there have been many documented cases of NDE's.
Even ancient scripts and the bible speak of an after life. Considering that alone, gives more credence of a possible after life.
Yet again, we don't have physical proof just like you don't have any proof that there is no afterlife.
Science has been proven wrong many times. Just for that reason alone, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.

...demons are real and absolutely have the ability to affect our lives, especially if we don't heed the warnings of the apostles who said in acts that people invite demons and their influence by dabbling in spiritism..similar to that fairy you have in your avatar.
...It won't be a ghostly afterlife but a physical world promised in Revelation 21:3,4

Please do tell- as someone else on this thread has also pointed out- ,, how could I describe the spirit of a person that I have never seen when she was alive, and have my neighbor validate my description and name the soul, (Martha) and tell me that others have seen this spirit too?
You cannot say anything about that, you just keep attacking me for some reason I simply cannot understand.
Did someone upset you today? Are you upset about something?
I wish you wouldn't let it out on me.
PS: What does being educated have to do with it? I hold two degrees, one of them I already mentioned. But I have also met many people in my life, who were older and much more wiser without ever getting a college or university degree.

You guys are just as ignorant ...

Even astronauts when they are training the in centrifuge have NDE's with exact same descriptions as people who have died and they are clearly not dead ... it is the release of Dimethyltryptamine in the brain thats causes these NDE's ... it has been demonstrated many time in live patients ... how are people not understanding basic science ????

Because what you cite is is hypothesis development testing - it is only the first step in the Scientific Method. It only suggests that the hypothesis should be considered for evaluation, among others. This is not falsification testing, nor does it take into account all the observation base.
The science is FAR from being undertaken. It wallows in an artificial stigma of prejudice. Other hypothesis ALSO have successful hypotheses development data. Do we declare them as proven too?

I was going to share another paranormal experience I had, but forget it. It's not worth all the negativity I would receive. This is partly the reason why I only have so many posts after being here for over 3 years.
Some people get too upset, and start lashing out.
Thanks to all who have been kind and supportive.
I'll go over to reading some breaking news instead.

I'm agnostic, wouls like to believe in something, but its hard. However I don't see why its so difficult to consider a continuance.. especially wen you consider that we couls live in a virtual realitt of sorts right now. What would be so different? Also the only continuation I've ever considered has been theough kids, keeping genes alive. Who knows maybe our same consciousness exists two or three at a time wth kids and grandkids and we are unaware.
Before we were born it was unimagineable to use that we would be born but against phenomenal odds we were. Who knows. I have a sexond theory that scares me and I hope is incorrect.

ok you need to educate yourself ... start with this journal then go through ALL the reference articles ... until then you will not know enough on the subject to argue with me.
You guys need to read scientific articles not just go to a random website and read some guys testimonial of utter crap.

Many a brilliant mind from Terrence Mckenna to Tim Leary and others have tried to convey the fact that right here, right now, behind every billowing curtain, under every sleeping eyelid and through all of existence there flows an incredible active intelligence of awe inspiring wonder, sacredness and affection for humanity and all sentient beings. '___' is a mystery wrapped within an enigma, a mandalic gateway to the innermost depths of existence and one’s soul, a hyperdimensional rollercoaster ride into the realm of the imagination, the liquid palace where dreams are made and unmade, the 13 th dimensional candy store at end of time where the weavers of god’s tapestry sing, dance and play. '___' is all of these things and yet none of them for words are like pale reflections of the transcendental diamond doorway which stands before and within, beckoning and calling softly in dreams and the imagination. This chemical of revelation is what religions all point towards, it’s what all beautiful art tries to convey, what all of the greatest symphonies try to make you feel. '___' is your personal doorway, your connection to a filament of the divine, to the God/Goddess that lives within you and I and everyone.

No. When we die our life ends, that's it. Just like before we were born, nothing and after we die it'll be the same. Life continues on and you will have never known the tricks that played you till death. I know it seems harsh but it is what it is. What's good is that death can be avoided but it's hard when we're bred to believe death is inevitable and that the only true happiness comes AFTER you die.
Having absolutely no real evidence other than what people tell us, it's safe to assume the afterlife is a lie created to scam us of our lives. Of course there will always be believers who say otherwise. Lying rewards more than telling the truth. But who really cares what I have to say? You can't argue with those who already made their mind up, some just can't or else they wouldn't have a job, this I understand. And what do they say? Respect people's beliefs? even if they're being lead to a pointless death....

OK, here is the 'About' on that site/journal you just gave us all:

So transcendental doorways, Gods, souls and mystical intelligences .... got it. Science.
