The dream had me sitting at my desk. I heard the door opening, went around to the front door and my wife walked in.
Just like she should have at a time in Nov '99. But the phone rang from the hospital instead.

I think we have all had experiences like that.
Is it our mind trying to fix reality? Aslan is not a Tame Lion

That's crazy you saw a dark figure the first time! I've only had this happen to me that one time and that's what I saw. (like I already mentioned, I know) but still very interesting.

What I mean when I say pure energy is what any scientists would say. For instance:
quote: Taken from Discover Magazine in an article about antimatter. Call it light, neutrinos, whatever...

Call it light, neutrinos, whatever That is obviously wrong since we can measure these things.They leave obvious signs of their existence so you need to make up something else.

Is that where you're about to go to sleep(or just woke up), and suddenly you can barely move and it gets all dark? This might sound silly, but that happens all the time to me and it's really annoying. Kind of creepy, too; if you're considering sometimes you hear that howl from all around.
(EDITED IN) However, I saw the dark figure a few first times. Okay, so I'm not insane. Except that scary mother fucker keeps telling me things like my life is in vain and that it'll crumble away all that I hold dear, soon after I usually say "fuck you!" and then I can move again. I probably sound insane by now so I'll stop here unless people really want to delve into madness or anything. This message has been edited by Born2Preach, 07-20-2004 01:20 AM

My dark figure tried to whisper something in my ear too. I just didn't listen. But I'm kind of curious as to what it said.

Sidelined, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. If you don't think pure energy exists in some form or whatever then there is no need talking to you.

I'm very sorry B2P. It's still pretty raw for you then.
The experience of losing someone does help me understand why some would want to believe that there is more than just this life. There is a terribly strong need to make it better and find a way to cope. That isn't possible for me but I am reluctant to take it away from others.

Sorry old man I am just trying to get it clear with you that statements such as "pure energy" are meaningless in science since we do not know what energy itself actually is.It is an abstract value that we measure in given situations that remain the same as dictated by the law of conservation of energy.

Thanks.
The experience of losing someone does help me understand why some would want to believe that there is more than just this life. I agree. However, as an agnostic Christian I find that either way you look at it it's a good thing. See, if there really isn't any afterlife at all, then they're at peace. If we reincarnate, then they might be that newborn you pass by. If there is an afterlife with a just God, as opposed to a narrowminded one, then the vast majority of people worth missing will find themselves in Heaven, Nirvana, or whatever the individual choses to call it.
That isn't possible for me but I am reluctant to take it away from others. Same thing here; as someone who people know is going to be a pastor I get confronted with this a lot. I have a little doubt about an afterlife at times, but I can't bring it up when I listen to 8 year olds telling a story about a parent or good friend dying, and then saying they'll see them again. Some people do need that to cope, and that's why I can't take that assurance away. "There are times when logic must give way to humanity" -Max Brooks, in a book mostly intended for comedy, but that lines rings true about this subject. Anyway, sorry to pull that into discussion. Maybe this topic is a little serious for this forum? Wanna feel God? Step onto the wrestling mat and you'd be crazy to deny the uplifting spirit. http://www.BadPreacher.5u.com (incomplete, but look anyway!)

My personal theory is that it's a personification of your negative feelings seeing as it always seems to say exactly what you don't want to hear at the time. In your case, it probably told you 'there is no God!' or something else of that nature. If you can move your lips to say "f**k off", then it'll go away in my experience.

Anyway, sorry to pull that into discussion. Maybe this topic is a little serious for this forum? One of the good things about here is the breadth of discussion over which we range. (Even if it gets rather off topic sometimes ) This message has been edited by NosyNed, 07-20-2004 02:44 PM
