Ok, Susan, you see the quotes above. I find it fascinating that you haven't actually dictated a whole book of your personal observations. Your evidence is not convincing to those who have personal experience. I know you will throw out the remark that it is "delusional". Have you EVER considered that your observactions need confirmation before settling into a comfortable bias that continues to Amaze me? INCREDIBLE!!!!

Somewhere, you stopped being "opened minded" and just rattle your ideations in other people's posts. Thank you, but, NO THANKYOU!!!

I know what has occured in my life, just as strongly as your contention. I will not FORGET the events of my past. Oh, yes, you want me to tell you exactly what happened in my life. I was at a restaurant and started to mentally converse with a stranger, whose back of their head was facing me. If you LIKE, just call it a coincidence. That person nodded their head in confirmation of the thing I was thinking about. Proof? Forget it!!!! It was my experience, and I did not "interpret" that person's intent at that VERY MOMENT. It was real enough for me. End of statement!!

By the way, your statement above quoted says that such events that occur in the life of a person, should pass "the test of time". For me, the event of my past was, and is, still very Well and Sure to this day.
