As to my experience, will send to you via FReemail when I get a chance to type it out...there’s a backstory and an epilogue without which the story is not complete and it may take a little bit more time than I have this busy afternoon.

Thank you!! I look forward to it!

Yes, the word "supernatural" is intended to mean "beyond" nature, the same way that "unparalleled" is intended to mean "unique in space." Just the same, the brain perceives words in their order beyond the user's intent. The word "unparalleled" evokes the image of parallels, in spite of its intended opposite. Likewise in spite of its intent, the word "super-natural" accurately IMO captures these mysterious venues we puny humans can only barely grasp. Personally, I think it's a good thing we cannot grasp them and I am very leery of pursuing control or knowledge of "supernatural" stuff. I'm just grateful for it when it helps me out! {^) I am looking forward to your FReepmail.
