Hello everyone. Well done of you to put up this informative website.
Why am I here?
I'm at a point in my life that could be called a void of believing in anything else than the natural world as we know it by science. Still, I do believe we face more questions than answers. So the search is not over. At the moment I have no faith in any other method to provide us with honest and as accurate as possible answers as the scientific method. I have been brought up and lived a christian, then devoted my life to yogic and other esoteric practices for 8 years, I have believed in the soul, afterlife, angels, read tons of spiritual texts, experienced mystical things, felt the awesome force of selfsuggestion etc. I have been around beliefs, so it's not it. I simply feel that in the face of proper scientific examination, it has all (despite holding it's intensity) boiled down to my imagination.
As a constant searcher for truth (whatever/wherever that means), you can believe this experience has left me cold.
I am terribly sad, and live an angst-ridden life of constant emotional struggle to survive because of this lack of faith. Every day I wish something would happen or that something would be found/revealed that would simply blow my mind and still stand as 'paranormal' in the face of the most rigorous of scientific scrutinies.
So I am willing and able to learn.
I am fertile soil, though most definitely a demanding field to grow, and seeking for a seed.
Would this be a place to find some?
