Thanks, Steve. The problem with accepting these experiences as spiritual is that there is a package of experiences. Some of these experiences were inspiring and some of them imply things that I don't like to contemplate and some of them were confusing.

I started a thread today about concerns I have meeting a friend in a couple of weeks. Some of the experiences caused me to suspect my friend as part of a conspiracy to harm me. It is a long and convoluted story. Here is the more recent thread I started:

In some ways I want to believe I was imagining everything, because that is so much simpler, but it is hard for me to dismiss these experiences when I remember them so clearly and they seemed so real.
