so are you arguing that the spiritual are insane or that the insane are enlightened? |

Has anyone ever considered the fact that almost every bit of "spirituality" (visions, psi, and the likes) is all being programmed in our brain as holucinations do to the fact that those who do experience such truly believe in every inch of them that what they are experiencing is real to every extent? |

Neither. The spiritual cause these effects out of their own will, making it more stable and "real", considering it is backed up by the will to apply information proccessing, and that insane have no will over it, caused by moments in their life against their own will. What I am preposing here is that we might just be doing the same things to ourselves mentally what someone psychotic might be forced to do or see. |

Thats why when you look for answers you can't have any assumtions on how things work. You have to search for the truth, and nothing but the truth. What your saying would make sense for certain people (say, the Christians and most other religions), because they BELIEVE in something without knowing it exists, so it would make sense that they could trick themselfs. But for the true Seeker of Truth, it doesn't matter what the truth is, all that matters is that it is the truth. |

wer, I'm not trying to disprove you, but what if the "truth" spiritualists (or others) believe is actually a lie? |
|
Saying quantum physics explains cognitive processes is just like saying geology explains jurisprudence.
Nothing we believe is a lie, but none of it is true either. |

The only reason I'm still searching for answers and the only reason I accept psychic abilities as truth is because I have seen enough that it would be stupid for me to NOT believe in psionics. If I have never seen any proof of these abilities, I would also be a skeptic towards psychic phenomena. I still consider myself a skeptic because I don't accept anything as a fact unless I've seen some kind of proof backing it up, and even then I consider all possible explanations. |
