- Well said Steve.My observations over twenty years of "formal" spiritual
- training illustrates that the receptivity to metaphysical and paranormal
- experiences is inversly proportional to the need to prove their
- existance.Similarly,to acheive the highest status in a marshal art one has
- to have already defeated the ego;the desire to influence others with your
- power.
-
- I`m new to the internet,but I feel comfortable posting a few viewpoints to
- the skeptics.After all,they are only trying to find Truth;'masters' in
- training.
