I've been watching a lot of the Penn and Teller Bullshit shows on Youtube lately. While I agree with about 85% of their opinions, I just cannot agree with the close minded stance they take on the paranormal and supernatural. If Penn and Teller can't be presented with hard, physical, tangible evidence of something than it most certainly must not exist and anyone who does believe it exists is a f*%$ing idiot. But Penn and Teller do an excellent job at exposing the frauds of the new age industry and stupidity of the population.

While hard evidence is an important factor in keeping you grounded in reality and not being duped by cons, I believe there is just some things that exist in our universe which we cannot detect.

I was staring at the walls the other day and began to ponder on the reality experienced by a person who was born both blind and deaf. Their entire existence and perception is based solely on smell, taste, and touch. And to them, they are perfectly content in this existence unaware of the actual reality. Or at least "actual" as what we perceive with two more senses than they were born with. It is really quite mind boggling to sit and try to fathom such an existence.

And as such belief in something for which there is no proof, is faith, and hence the practices are religion.

I got the Star Wars reference

Glad i'm not the only one. I'd feel like a complete geek if that were the case haha. Surprised no one else mentioned it.

I am of the mind that nothing we see or feel is actually here (real but not physical), but rather our own interpretations of the energies around us. Proof of this is that you can ask any two people that know you well to describe you both physically and personality wise and the descriptions would not be the same. The same two people would have completely different descriptions of the world around them and events that are happening. Forums like this where we have so many diverging conversations and opinions just help us fine tune our interpretations.

If you don't agree with me then you just interpreted my energies wrongly

There is so much we have yet to learn, and experience, in this vastness of unkown universe and energies untapped.

I felt like the world's biggest geek for posting it.

I'm into some alternative treatments. At one time I used to be a massage therapist so I've been open to these things for a long time. Personally I practice yoga, qi-gong along with regular workouts. They help me to remain centered and in touch with my spirituality
