religious knowledge (of Dart)

[_Some Schmo]

The difference is that I do not consider strong hunches that happen to pan out to be supernatural events.

I'm not talking about "strong hunches", Schmo. I'm talking about events involving visions. Animated visions. Not a hunch. Not a "I have a feeling this or that will happen, or I have a feeling that something is wrong". Not that.

Nothing to do with feel good ego.

I'd be glad to share one with you off the board.

I'm happy to indulge...

I've had 3 similar experiences myself. All three involved a type of prediction. Two involved a "vision" that I'm not sure how to describe except that I saw an animated scene in my head and was fully awake at the time. All three involved people close to me and while two may be questionable, one isn't at all questionable.

Sorry to be so cryptic, as I stated they involved people close to me.

"Animated," eh? So, did the people look like Japanese anime people? Or more like The Simpsons, or Pixar, or what? Jan Svankmajer's stuff, perhaps?

No. They looked like the people themselves, as if on film, scenes from a movie. Not necessarily "animated" in the sense you're implying. Like a film clip. The experiences involved personal tragedy. Thanks for your inquiry.

Now let me add, Scratch, that your post above is one of the reasons I find you difficult to take seriously. Instead of reading a post such as the one I made, and relating to it on human terms, you superficially treat word usage. The impression that I get, is that you're unable to relate to anyone on this board in meaningful ways and tend to skim the surface of the human beings you're communicating with...as if they or their expressions, weren't real to you.

Very interesting to observe.

There's no need to get bent out of shape. You had implied that this was private, "cryptic" stuff that you weren't interested in discussing publicly. I thought I was doing the polite thing by not prying into that. Further, I was intrigued by the notion that you might see these clairvoyant scenes as "animated," ala The Simpsons, or something like that.

So, we now have how many posters here who have seen things? The Nehor has seen Jesus-God (and talked to him no less!), New Jersery Girl has seen "animated" people in her mind (some would call this... You know... Imagination...), Dart's mau mau has seen visions of some guy getting his head blown off, and... Wait for it...

I'VE SEEN STUFF, TOO!!

Yep. Yours truly has had many a vision I might add. These visions were very real. Her name was Chantrell. And let me tell you something. Chantrell had something to reveal to me. I won't get into details because it's very personal, and I'm really fat... So I don't want to gross anyone out with their own visions of my visions with Chantrell, but Chantrell and LaFontoya were very good to me. Very good. And I learned many things. I'd say the vision lasted for about ten minutes. Maybe fifteen. Who knows? When you're caught up in a revelation time tends to be relative.

This is sacred to me. Please don't mock it.

By revelation I mean knowledge of his/her/its existence and a sense of purpose in the world.

It is interesting, isn't it?

So many "revelation", "appearance" happened during our few thousand year of written history and they were not enough to determine which personal pronoun to use in english and other languages which use gender.
Fortunately, this problem doesn't exist in hungarian. Our third person singular personal pronoun is "ő", as we don't use gender.

The religious part of the world doesn't know a lot about god/s). We have one problem less. We don't care the gender (in speaking only, not in thinking about god/s ).

by the way is there something people know about god/s ?)

I definitely do; It is baloney/crock. Nobody gets a revelation and proves it coming of god.
When I was young I did smoke some good Middle Eastern hashish; there was "Revelation"
accompanied by incredible visions, appearances, voices. I tried that stuff less than half dozen times, I got nailed every time. I don't have to elaborate the hallucinatory effects of drugs, epilepsy
proven to be as effective for seeing visions, hearing voices.
When someone says; "I receive revelations" is no different than any of us having "gut feelings".

Too bad, nowadays humans cannot walk on the water, change the water to wine, separate seas, raise dead.
It requires some solid degree of gullibility to believe this stuff.
(No offence intended)

I wasn't "bent out of shape", Scratch. I made an observation. And no, I didn't see cartoons.

And here we have A8 who finds it impossible to synthesize what he's read.
