This is not a criticism or judgement of you, although it might sound that way. I say this only to increase understanding.

The logical masculine ego creates a shell and defines reality within itself. It organizes what is real or not real based upon what fits with its ego identity. This is not good or bad, it’s just the way consciousness functions.

When my left brain logical ego first experienced paranormal events, it destroyed me. I thought I was nuts. If it had not been that my wife observed them happening, I would have committed myself.

I was a logical Type “A” personality, a university professor, a CPA, a business executive, and didn’t believe any of this.

I walked out my office door where the event happened and didn’t return for two years. I owned the building, the firm, and had over a dozen professional employees. It turned my world upside down as I could no longer trust my logic until I understood the science supporting what I experienced.

I completed a degree in psychology that was worthless and went on to study neuroscience and psychiatry for twenty years. I believe in evidence based medicine and work with many MD’s on a regular basis.

I just perceive things a bit different that they do. I learn by reconciling my experiences with science.

You can keep your head in the sand and enjoy your ego bubble. That’s ok and I respect that choice. But don’t be surprised if someday your bubble gets burst like mine did and your world is turned upside down.

“You can keep your head in the sand and enjoy your ego bubble. “

You can assume that an engineering mind is incapable of anything else, thats fine. However, I guarantee that you can provide no proof (there I go, with that spock-like empiricism!) That you exorcised anything akin to a demon from anybody, nor are you willing to provide any “follow-up data” on those you supposedly exorcised. There is a near certainty that they are still just as crazy as they were before you did your thing.

I get it, you believe you have this power, or you are convincing enough in faking it.

There is, and never will be evidence that supports exorcisms. Anevtdotes, grainy photos, orvideo shot through a key hole notwithstanding. There is no evidence that what you say is true.

I apologize for the bluntness, but its needed when folks who read this may be inclined to believe what you say without any refutation.

....or maybe Im just possesed for having the temerity to disagree.
