Good thinking, well said. We hold important issues in common. I think we have no more important subject to study. I am very encouraged that intelligent people who do not fear are increasingly exploring these fringes of science, having escaped the grasp of nineteenth century science.
I am a geophysicist, lawyer, mediator,and philosophic explorer. In your company I no longer feel like the lone wolf. Thank you.
I do not have sufficient data for conclusions. I am naturally positive, optimistic. Being aware of my bias, I remain generally positive toward the “other”.
There is plenty of room and some evidence for, from our perspective, negative influence from certain aspects of the “other”, but overall I see a very positive involvement.
The “other”, in whatever form it manifests, clearly has power to do with us what it will, but very little harm has been recorded. This indicates a generally positive relationship.
Spiritual implications are inherent throughout this exploration.
There is no better teacher than personal experience. I have been fortunate to have considerable direct involvement in several different ways with psychic manifestations in many of its several forms. I think most of us have, not always recognized for what it is. I’ve never met a family without a history, much of it recent , of close encounters with the “other”.
It is perhaps the most “real” event we can experience.
