Being completly without those experiences, why do you think you can accurately judge other people with those experiences?

Ignorance isn't bliss.


What was your most strange experience in your exploration? How deep did you go?


Big Brain Theory: Have Cosmologists Lost Theirs? - New York Times suggest that the probabilty of you being a brain floating around somewhere in the comsos is higher than the probabilty of you being a human who lives on a planet with other humans.
>For how many year do you now hold your beliefs?

I'm a old fart, my beliefs have changed allot over the years. I'm a skeptic, my beliefs are prone to change with the more information i get.

>And you aren't showing your zeal for your beliefs at the moment by posting here?

Of course I am

>Being completly without those experiences, why do you think you can accurately judge other people with those experiences?

I'm not judging, I'm drawing correlations between there experiences and my knowledge/experiences

>Ignorance isn't bliss.

I Disagree

Some of my strange experiences involve OBE's and night terrors(old hag syndrome). I got allot of answer that helped me allot from what i thought was the "astral plane"

>suggest that the probabilty of you being a brain floating around somewhere in the comsos is higher than...

severe trauma where blood is lost has an effect on one's vision, the other experience described by supposed ''NDEs'' survivors is a sense of calmness and relaxation and a sort of floating out of one's body, it's all effects of the brain's response to pain by releasing opiate-like drugs produced by our own bodies, like dopamine and serotonin.
