From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!seismo!hao!csu-cs!silver Newsgroups: net.misc Title: Food for thought about ESP and etc Article-I.D.: csu-cs.2026 Posted: Wed Feb 16 14:46:08 1983 Received: Mon Feb 21 19:21:03 1983 I used to think that only OBJECTIVE (repeatable, demonstrable) evidence of supernatural things would sway my beliefs. I've come to realize that there is such a thing as SUBJECTIVE evidence, valid in its own way. This is something that happens to you personally and as far as you can tell, you are not crazy, hallucinating, misperceiving, etc. I perceive that most people's "undefendable" beliefs are indeed based on subjective evidence. So, either a lot of people are too easily convinced by false perceptions, or there really is something going on that's hard to pin down. I myself am not sure which. I've had some experiences that are hard to ignore, yet I was not myself certain... Still waiting for It to happen to me, Alan Silverstein
