That's a great post and I quite agree when you say that you say that you can't verify the texture of the spiritual , "with the measuring stick of the physical."

And yes, like you I've also had a number of near death experiences. I was going to introduce the article with a brief account of one but I thought no, and for two reasons.

Firstly, we live in a very materialistic culture so, I thought, I would talk in terms of modern science which "modern" people are more likely to understand. Of course modern science is to a some extent a fraud funded by big business and promoted by their friends in the mainstream media. Nontheless it is predominate, and if you want to reach people then you have to talk in a language that they understand. Hence my use of "scientific" evidence.

The second reason is more personel. I'm a Scorpio, I live alone, I like to be alone and, I think, not very significant. Which is why I'd prefer to keep myself out of the picture, as far as possible.

The important thing, for me, is to do the job and not worry about what others think. And above all keep my ego out of the picture...

...otherwise you can end up like David Icke: a man with some inkling of the truth but absolutely no idea of genuine humility. Which is why he is falling under the spell of much darker forces.
