Excellent points, Wdflr. I think as far as Lisa is concerned, she already is at the bottom of this, and she needs no outside verification about what whe already "knows."

I don't want to sound mean-hearted, but here in the Bible Belt aka Midwest, there is a very, very strong tradition of accepting all things religious and right-winged. My wife and I have strongly discussed moving out of the area in a few years. I would say the two overriding features of the...

Yeah, I've heard all that. You can read all sorts of symbolism into the Western music tradition, and not just the devil's chord. Classical composers avoided the diminished chord because of its disonance. They had formal rules that governed the use of intervals and which chord followed...

Jeremy, I live in Indiana--I'm surrounded by these people! No wonder I rarely leave my house!

Doesn't a Tritone refer to a diminished chord? If so, I use them all the time. I taught guitar for years, and gigged around some, but now I just play for my own enjoyment. Super-technical guitar playing doesn't interest me, sorry. Gut-level feeling, as played by Jimi, SRV, and Clapton...

I need to find a Rabbi and ask lots of questions. Despite my degree (Medieval history) and research into Judaism in England at the time, I'm too darn uninformed. While it is true that angels are broken into castes, it is also true that some angels, such as the archangels, each have membership...

I suppose they do, don't they. As regards to hell, wasn't there a mention in the New Testament about evil people getting thrown into a lake of fire? It also seems to me that I remember Gehenna, another name later adopted for hell, was the place near Jerusalem where they would go to burn...

Well, I'm not sure how to boil it down. I believe this universe is itself God, and that the universe is self-aware and self-regulating. This self awareness interracts through bits of itself; if effect, we are all individualized "avatars" of the Divine will, acting out and unaware of our...

The options posted in the question are insufficient.

Damn, it's a flying Segueway! I want one!

In all fairness, you appear to sticking to the "standard" books of the Bible, and I was busting out the Apocrypha and bunches of Gnostic and Muslim sources. The Bible itself is kind of limited on direct information about angels, and only Gabriel and Michael are named. You have to go to the...

A competent mental health care pro would see this as a psychological problem, not a paranormal problem. Still, I think this would be a good benchmark to get some sort of metric of the girl's state of mind. Your points are valid, the angels are broken into castes with different purposes...

I like the idea of Brad Stieger being in a conversation with Lisa Lindley, because Stieger has always impressed me with his vast knowledge and seemingly level headedness. For whatever reason, I could tell that Lisa wasn't buying David's explanations of the orbs, irregardless of Biedny's...

I thought this was a terrific show, not so much for the guest, but for the hosts. Maybe it was because Gene and David went into this interview without having read the book, they were both mentally nimble. I though David's questions were spot on, as were his observations and advice to get a...

I don't know Lizt, but I'm not too sure about this. There certainly is a level of musicianship here, and a fluidity, but it's nothing paranormal in level. I don't think this really proves anything other than that Fagerstrom can play piano. There are several processors you can run this...

Well, I'd love to be wrong, but it looks terrible. That sounds the BS meter right there. Some Edgar Mitchell stuff, plus (here we go) Jeff Peckman. This show claims to cover from Arnold sighting forward, so it's historical overview, not some new smoking gun. What did we call these 101...

Well, I pretty much agree about the moving on. When I hear about information obtained through channeling, I have the automatic instinct to scoff at it and ignore it. Maybe I've been too quick to put it in the automatic ignore bin, though.

Well, for the sake of argument, I assume there are in the same way that I assume there are ufos. I've never seen one, but lots of credible people have. I assume Wyoming is real, and I've never been there. I also partly think channeling is possible from seeing Oiji boards do some odd things...

Well, I'll qualify: Some things resist being observed, or aren't given to repeatibility, and are testable only in thought experiments. Maybe you are right, and eventually everything will be quantifiable and testable, from tachyons to gravitons to the so-called psions or God particle. In a way...

Realities with a small r. There's consensual reality, which we all have varying degrees of connectivity to, and then there are reality subsets. I suppose you could take it all the way down to personal realities, but I fail to see the use in that. My point is that there is some pretty damn...
