Well Arthur Eddington once said "Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine."

You speak with alot of wisdom and I am sure that to you OBE's and supernatural phenomena are very real.

I personally have never had any supernatural experiences. I have never seen a ghost or experienced any strange occurences beyond the realms of mere coincidence. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but when most of the worlds current knowledge of science contradicts supernatural phenomena and since I havent encountered anyone in real life with these experiences, what am I supposed to think?

You say I feel disconnected from others and perhaps I do, but isn't this just part of the human condition?

It is very hard for people like me without these experiences, to open themselves up to the possiblity that everything they think about the true nature of reality is wrong. So wouldn't proving objectively that these experiences are real, help people like me to be able to experience them subjectively?
