What exactly does it mean to "give subjective experience credibility?"
|
I merely state that in light of a couple of 'experiences' I had, I find it very hard to eliminate the influence they caused. I already questioned everything that happened using what science and every stretch of logic I could muster.
I'm not one that is fertile ground for the supernatural.
It does no good to try and negate the experience purely on the grounds that I can find no other explanation. That's like trying to 'believe' something by choice, it doesn't work that way. Since the experiences had their own 'spiritual' trappings at the exact time of their occurrences, it is hard to separate the event into two different parts, throwing out the spiritual implications while keeping the events that happened in the actual world.
Probabilities is a science too; and sometimes the probability of an event happening at the exact moment there was a spiritual stimulus ,creates odds that are harder to accept than a 'higher power'.
The events I'm referring to happened objectively, meaning it did in fact happen; and was also witnessed subjectively, including the, I hate to use the word, invoking, that had at least the appearance of causing it to happen.
A very difficult happening to summarily dismiss; hence, my agnostic position.
The experiences I’m referring to, each having impossible odds of occurrence ---- I refer to the exact timing, fail the application of synchronicity, as it would take more belief than a god to offhandedly just accept the odds of occurrence.
I would be happy to PM them to you if you wished, but again I say, I don’t want to either bore nor convert anyone. I just question, in fact, I question far more that the person that has not experienced.
