Very interesting.

I don't doubt it, although, honestly...I'm not 100% comfortable with the idea of it, and that's only because I don't understand it all.
Not sure if that makes sense.:laugh:

What do "they" say, that we use only a fraction our what our brain is capable of?
Oh, I hadn't thought about the "noise" all around us. I bet the electrical fields put out by all our devices would throw things off. Is that what you meant??

So, when I was a very small child, I "saw" a creepy man who "lived" in my closet....do you think I really did, because (call me CRAZY), but I saw that man EVERY night. He went into my closet, and up into the attic. He never spoke, or bothered me, he just went into the closet, and up into the attic. Then my mom finally convinced me that he wasn't there, and I never saw him again.:blink:

Yes, he was there. He was probably a spirit that shared your house. That happens a lot but people convince them self they didn't "just see that"... The noise I refer to is all the things that go on around us, just distractions. Our lives are full of them. It is a matter of where our attention is drawn. That is why the kids and I only feel family, everything else is of less importance to us so we don't pay enough attention to it.

Clay my oldest son refused to accept it was possible for a while because he said as Christians we could not do that, it was evil... He finally came to grips with it because it was impossible for him not to feel when I had an emergency or his dad did. He knew it and he knew he knew it... I asked him exactly what made it evil, he said well it isn't but people think it is so.... Eventually he realized people always think what they don't understand is bad. when he went to a concert in high school that was a street dance and everyone at church told him he had sinned by going to that concert. He was very traumatized to think they thought he had sinned... I was grateful when he finally realized some people have to believe you are evil because it make them feel like they are better than you are.

Ugh! I hate when people do that. It's kind of what we, as vapers, are facing with all the ANTZ stuff.

Please don't, he could not have cared less about you being there. He may have had enough noise in his world he didn't even see you there. I did not mean to upset anyone. I am sorry, I will be quiet...........

I agree!! By uncomfortable, I don't mean that I think it's evil, I just don't know enough about it to speak with any intelligence.:blush:
I think it's VERY interesting, but hard to wrap my head around it at the same time.

I think that (just my opinion) Christians/Ministers/Churches portray it as "evil" sometimes because young people can be easily swayed or unknowingly get caught up in demonic worship. I also took a class at church on devil worship, it was REALLY interesting too, and REALLY, REALLY scary.
