Paranormal Phenomena

[NB79]

If you want the truth about the paranormal, i say as a person in my senses, that like to observe things, read the bible. After you become a christian and have the Holy spirit, you gained one enemy, they are sneaky and main weapon is lies and deception, but after you get closer to God, he is going to try to bring you down, then you will see the true nature of 'ghosts'

Hello NB79,
I've been a "born-again Christian" since the age of seven. I was Pentecostally "filled with the Holy Ghost" at age thirteen with the "evidence of speaking in tongues." I am now 80 years old and have been "following Jesus" for all of these subsequent, 73 years. I discern what is Truth and what isn't.

I am not, however, an evangelical, nor a fundamentalist, nor a literalist. I think that there are words of God/Goddess in the Bible, but I do not think that it is THE "Word of God/Goddess."

I am in the same "camp" of Christians where was the late, Rt. Rev. Dr. John Shelby Spong, Retired Episcopal Bishop of Newark, NJ. Actually, I identify with Valentinian Gnostic Christians.

I'm just as agnostic now as I was prior.

Watching this for the last few hours, I'm not the only fruit and nut bar.

I have seen this interview. Prof Nolan is a prominent medical researcher at Stanford with a lot of patents for anti-cancer monoclonal antibodies. Over the years there have been several high profile academics who have risked their academic reputations to advocate for evidence of alien life. Most famous was Prof John Mack, founding Professor of Psychiatry and head of department in Psychiatry at Harvard. Also Prof Avi Loeb who was Head of Astronomy at Harvard.

All three endured ridicule from colleagues and in the case of Prof Mack, Harvard attempted to remove him from his position in a famous historic case was unanimously rejected on the basis it impinged Mack's academic freedom which goes against one of the core values of Harvard.

But is there evidence we are not alone? I recommend watching Prof Nolan's interview and judge what he is claiming objectively.

I have no idea who or what the entity is religious, alien? My beliefs are based on physics yes life after death can be supported by physics at least in the way I view it in my head. See my physics thread. Super determinism. is required for predetermined future, four spatial dimensions, emergent time universe Klein Bottle inside outside. So easy to see.
This entity gave me enough epiphanies to fill out my physics thread.

On the subject of NDEs. many traditional shamans, Buddhist monks, Hindu mystics and even people experiencing hypnotic regression or hallucinogenic substances experience what is collectively known as an out of body experience, In all cases (including NDEs) individuals claim to meet entities.

I was watching an interview with Hindu spiritual leader Sadguru who says pilgrims climbing Mount Kailash in the Himalayas, reaching the summit often meet entities not of this earth. Given this happens closer to the summit I wonder whether oxygen deprivation creates conditions facilitating an out of body experience?

Is Agnosticism and not knowing who God/Goddess the same thing? Or similar? No one can, with certainty, ever know who God/Goddess is! No one, with certainty, can know what, if anything, lies beyond physical death. So, in a way, aren't we all agnostics? We have our theologies and our philosophies and we even have our quantum theorists who think they know God/Goddess but they really don't know.

Hi, i don't know your experience, however if you really were filled like in the bible happened to the disciples, you wouldn't say the bible is not the word of God, i don't want to argue with you or fight in any way, have a nice day.

NB 79,

I didn't mean to disturb you with my experiences, thinking, feelings, and beliefs that are different from yours. I would hope that we can allow each other to be who each of us is without judgement nor condemnation. Please. I wish you a wonderful, spirit-filled day, too. Amen.

Many paranormal things have happened around me. Most of the time it involves the spirits of people who have died but never moved on. I see shadows in the corner of windows and strange tiny lights in dark unlit areas sometimes and I can sense when there’s a spirit in a room and if it’s hostile or not. Bright lights suddenly appearing and then disappearing are the most common thing I encounter. I’ve seen these odd glittering orbs just floating in the air before vanishing. And I have seen things randomly manifest close to me when no one else is around. One time while I was doing some shopping at Walmart with an employee of the group home where I was living and my roommate, a chocolate fountain suddenly appeared right behind me sitting there on the floor. The employee asked me why I grabbed it and put it there and my roommate said that I didn’t grab it. No one else was in the aisle with us.
