For the record, Brian seemed to have a big issue with the philosophy behind what Pssst often asserts. Brian used the pejorative, "New Age BS". I don't know the history of Brian's problems with Pssst but surely we all bring our informed perspectives to the table here? There are some of those "New Age" ideas that sit very well with my own worldview so I could object to them being characterised as bullshit.  I don't share the apparent certainty that Pssst brings to the debate but I have found myself in agreement on more than one occasion.

I don't know Brian from Bran, I haven't actively followed Skeptiko for years. Being pejorative in this sense is to have the effect of invalidating my POV. Which would include invalidating the hundreds of years of ET and spirit communication since this is where I derive my information. That's highly problematic unless you are living in a parallel reality where ETs and spirit do not exist, do not make contact and/or do not have anything useful to say (if they did make contact).

Two things are apparent. We are in an Age where, for the first time, separate but existing parallel realities are playing out on this Earth. The Brians' of that reality do not see the reality that I , and many others, exist within. The division will soon be complete as we vibrationally and energetically find ourselves in one 'camp' or another.

Second, it will be hard, first contact that will be the ultimate nail in the reality coffins of many, they simply will refuse to believe or they will be on another parallel Earth, which is their preference, where this information will be non-existent.

I'm not insulted by the words Chuck uses to describe my post. I just don't really understand what the fuss is about. My initial problem was with Linda (nothing new there) and Brian jumped to her defence and suggested we go easy on her, only to follow that in another thread with an angry rant about Pssst.  I didn't accuse Brian of anything or comment about his posts, I just quoted them. I still don't see that as being unusual in the daily to-and-fro of forum discussion. I did, however, try to say to Brian that I understand how it can sting a little to have your inconsistencies pointed out. Chuck used the words unkind and then ignorant to describe my post - I disagree but am not offended.

Okay, fair enough.
The fuss is strictly entertainment value.

I like Pssst. I like a variety of types of forum members, and not just the "give me your evidence" type. Btw, I know (and it should be obvious reading his posts closely) that Pssst isn't an unreflecting New Age believer (and even if he was, I don't have a problem with that type of forum poster, everyone's welcome if they're sincere and not here to merely troll), but has come to certain conclusions after examining data that convinces him of survival and going on from there to spiritual/metaphysical answers through the content provided by some (alleged) experiencers of extended consciousness phenomena, not non-experiencing New Age "metaphysician" authors.

One may reach a stage where you've come to conclusions through your research and experiences and you want to share them with people who may be interested. It's probably not how most people on this forum roll, who want to stay at the level of what science can prove, and that's fine. But personally I find it a refreshing change and it adds to the diversity - at the very least.

What are separate parallel realities? Are you speaking literally? Like separate universes? Also, how does one vibrationally find oneself in a camp? What does the vibration part have to do with where you find yourself, campwise? Genuinely trying to understand what you are saying in this post. Thanks!

A question for you first.

What is the mechanism that we use to create this physical reality in which we exist? If you understand that mechanism, then I will be able to address your inquiries .

Garsh. Thumbs Up

Ultimately, the information has to be applicable to our daily journey or, no matter from what source(s) it originates, it's empty philosophy and conversation.

I became convinced through my research that it was well worthwhile to test the spirits and to test the data from ET in real, physical reality terms. To see if there was truth and empowerment within it. When I followed a few, simple rules, keeping an open mind and heart, I got all the proof I needed.

So can anyone else.

I don't really understand the depth of your question, so perhaps I'm not ready for your answer. How would I demonstrate that I understand a mechanism? Just by naming it?

I often don't know where I am on a forum and reply without noticing the forum heading. I will be happy to have this discussion in an appropriate thread if you or the Mods would like to start/move this to a more suitable space.

However, Big Grin , the underlying mechanism to the creation of physical reality (illusion), a mechanism you, I and all others utilize, cannot be understood by naming but by more precise, detailed explanation.
