I see. So do you then believe all the various types of so-called paranormal phenomena can be satisfactorily explained within that framework.
Great minds think differently, apparently. I happen to believe in planes of nature beyond the physical plane provides the best explanatory model.
What does 'Non-Binary Physicalist' mean?
Anyway my religious progression was from raised Catholic, to atheist, to Baha'i, to 'spiritual but not religious', to nondual Hindu/Theosophy.
I do suspect each stage was not only a growth in understanding but fostered by guidance from beyond.
Such power would only come to those with the intelligence to use it only wisely. Like great spiritual beings. The type that wouldn't care to win the Lotto.
I'll answer 'No' but not completely impossible. Even human ghosts only linger for a set period and move on to better things. And dinosaurs probably lacked the sophistication to get so emotionally intwined with the physical plane.
I'd go back to my thought experiment of thoroughly analyzing 100 stronger cases and question whether a really satisfactory normal explanation makes much sense. And in every case.
Magic tricks are intentional efforts to deceive. Any intentional efforts can pretty much be ruled out in stronger...
If you really believe all the millions of experiences have a satisfactory normal explanation, then carry on. But to me that seems pretty much impossible.
Now, I look at the paranormal evidence and come to the opposite conclusion; that dramatic things do occur that have no reasonable normal explanation.
Here's a thought experiments that we will never have enough time to actually perform. Let's go through a hundred seemingly compelling cases for...
I actually am very hopeful science of the not-so-distant future will accept and explain these spiritual things we now call paranormal.
I think the basic missing link between today's science and the paranormal is additional planes of nature beyond the physical. Right now, science can only tell...
I have to wonder how earnestly you want to look, as a lot of this comes down to entrenched positions that are pretty well impervious to new information and argumentation.
To me the existence of phenomena colloquially called paranormal is established beyond reasonable doubt from millions of...
Well, that's why I mentioned I am on other forums and have read story after story. I have never heard a satisfactory 'psychological/illusion/delusion' argument that seems to cover the experiences of so many. Actually, the more parsimonious answer becomes things happen beyond science's current...
There is a cottage equipment and entertainment industry but I never let myself forget my main interest is what does this tell us about the nature of reality.
I am convinced spirits are out there.
That there is more than the physical is extremely important and perhaps the most important...
I am on other internet forums where people share their personal experiences with things beyond the normal (paranormal). I think if everyone spent more time listening to more stories from more regular unknown people, the logical open-minded person would have to conclude that this reality can...
I am not a Trump supporter nor can defend what he says much of the time, if that is what you think. I was just doubting the OP saying there is going to be this wave of misogynistic abuse all of a sudden. No need for paranoia.
