Faithful to the end brother . . . LOL^
I played the mental health card. It helped that I was as crook as a dog. That "cleared the room" pretty fast. The power of the internet, on the other hand, ignored my insanity.
Madness has it's upside.

Did you go out door to door after you knew you were finished.

i falsified reports, had fake rv's, told groups i was meeting up with other groups and went home just to show a presense.
i wasn't fading though, because of my situation i had to play like everything was fine.

usually a 5+ means some liquefaction.
And public access shut down for safety inspections again, plus a few thousand more insurance claims.

Transpersonal Psychology affirms the spiritual dimension apart from scripture.
by Fernando indiscussions on jwn have led me to start reading about the substantive work of psychiatrists carl jung, john weir perry, loren mosher, stanislav grof and others in "transpersonal psychology".. stanislav explains in this 1-hour long but very revealing video that he had no exposure to religion but became aware of dimensions beyond space-time through controlled psychiatric research experiments with psychedelic drugs (lsd).
this got him started on further research (much without drugs) in "transpersonal psychology" for around 45 years.. his terminology and explanations of the "hylotropic" versus "holotropic" states of consciousness maps powerfully to the "spiritual" versus "physical" in scripture and life (for me at least):.

The Great Debate: "Has Science Refuted Religion?
by dark angle injust want to share this amazing debate!
caltech cosmologist and physicist sean carroll teams up with skeptic magazine publisher and science historian michael shermer in this epic debate with noted conservative author and king's college president dinesh d'souza and mit physicist ian hutchinson as they go head-to-head over one of the most controversial issues of our age.
as science pushes deeper into territory once the province of religion, with questions such as why there is something rather than nothing?, where did the universe come from?, how did life arise?, what was the origin of morality?, and others, inevitable conflicts arise over the best approach to answer them.

Nice quote botch . . . I agree, and both groups of "believers" are well represented I suspect.
The belief in the "God idea" is probably all that's required for some to occupy the default position of belief.
On a less romantic note, I think doubt is closely aligned with curiousity and our sometimes fervent need for answers. Doubts rise from "questionable" belief. Some choose not to question and ignore the doubt . . . push it away. But it's hard to get truthful answers unless you keep asking the questions.
