Re: I have experienced events beyond that which can be measured
There is a tendency amongst modern medical professionals to diagnose other peoples unusual experiences as mental abberations and declare physical abnormality as the cause.  This is the modern version of demon possession in the dark ages.  What they do not understand or are unable to explain in terms of their particular frame of reference, they throw on the pile of faults, mistakes, disease, etc.  We of natural shamanistic bent can view pretty strange experiences as expressions of "lifeforce" (for want of a better word) penetrating the mundane as reminders of that which lies outside average experience and instigators of pathways to further growth.  I refrain from sharing such experiences with people I know and even more so with people I don't know.  I've lost friends by sharing and have been put out to street by others too.  This makes me very reluctant to share.  I hope you understand.

I have experienced events beyond that which can be measured
or accounted for in terms of physical reality, and being that I am quite neurotic, I tend to keep them to myself..I am a private person anyway but still, I know what you mean.  If you'd ever like to share your stories with someone just for the purposes of talking, feel free to share them with me.  But I am sure you aren't troubled by them as some are.  I've shared experiences with one person who refused to acknowledge what happened, even to himself.  Extreme denial.  I never saw anything quite like it.
