It's something of a kick in the head, sentience...
I've seen my share of occurrances that seemed unexplainable (and I'm a
skeptic by nature, and on top of that, trained in the sciences, so it takes
a lot for something to seem unexplainable to me); but there also is always
that factor of "maybe I just didn't have all the facts". So I vacillate
between complete skepticism, and beleif in some sort of spiritual plain
(but that is no way a belief in any given religion - religion is merely the
creation of human beings).
Over and above that, tho', I've also *had* at least 3 personal experiences
that continue, to this day, to defy explanation, and one no matter how much
I've tried to shred and digest it, so it's impossible for me to be a strict
atheist. I therefore do have my own sort or manner of "prayer" which,
tho' not of the sort which would "pass muster" with preachers or priests or
other hierophants, are nonetheless core things, sparks I can't extinguish.
Such as they are, they are offered...
