Hi Brian, thanks for that.

Have you looked at his book?

I haven't yet.  I intend to though.

There's an interesting review here: https://plus.maths.org/issue51/reviews/b...tml/op.pdf

Thanks Brian, that review was quite interesting - I think I'll get the book. I have often read that Paili had an interest in combining the occult and physics, but the details were hard to come by!

BTW, I hope you have recovered your interest in this forum, and are no longer thinking of giving it a rest.

I don't know if I'll be too involved in the forum but I'll keep looking in and I'll keep looking for new material and sharing my findings here.  The issue with me goes deeper than the forum though.  I'm tired and I'm looking forward to moving on.  It's only my lovely wife who is keeping me here, otherwise I would probably find a secluded spot in the forest somewhere and lie down and go to sleep and never wake up.

Brian,

I think we all feel like that a bit sometimes, but do you have some specific problems? Are you retired, or very old? You can always PM me to have a private discussion. I think that without my partner, I too might find it hard to continue.

It's a hard thing to explain but I just feel like I don't belong here.

Do you mean just on this forum, or more generally?

I don't think anyone else feels that way about you!

IMHO, If you are interested in psychic stuff, then you belong here.

The forum is fine, I mean in this world.

Brian,

I have sent you a PM about this, but if you would rather write here, that is fine too. Have you thought about unburdening yourself - explaining what is bothering you? I am sure your problem needs more than odd sentences.

We don't know for sure there is another world, but we do have at least some evidence that cutting short our stay in this world is somehow a bad thing to do.

I know there is another world and I have been guaranteed a place in it.  I don't believe God will allow anybody to force their way in but that's not the point.  I am not depressed but I have lived nearly 57 years with a species with which I have nothing in common and I am tired and want to move on.  There is no danger and I don't want anybody to try and fix me - nothing is broken.
