I wonder if Steve thinks that was a good sequence in the evolution of his belief system?
Maybe first we need to live in objective reality, in the dimension of science and logic first, and understand life there, before we can be fully open to exploring the dimension of spirit and subjective reality and the paranormal.
In terms of life phases, it's probably better to do so maybe in our teens and twenties, and maybe after we are more settled in the 'real world', in our late thirties and beyond begin to explore more of the spirit realm?
It's probably good to understand some of the principles of the spirit, but maybe it's better to explore it more when in the appropriate phase in my life. I feel the same way with the phases.. I was very hard atheist/egoist/objectivist in my first two years of college, but I think that phase was important for learning certain things about the world. I definitely think that opening up to spirit and the paranormal dimension is great and all, but all in proper timing.
Kind of corresponding with life phases of athlete/ego, teacher/spirit.
