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,
