These things are quite fun and most of the time harmless. As to beliefs, I find them fasinating , why I have an interest in anthropology. I do not want to upset anybody but beliefs usually always lead to trouble and hinder mankinds advance to a humanist future, which could be a belief in itself Tim

Sure Tim, you might have a point there. Maybe we should all just suspend our belief in, say, gravity and try walking off a 10 story building.
At least it would allieviate the over-population crisis and that would certainly be a help to "mankind's advance to a humanist future".
I tend to agree that kirlian photography and Coggins' system have been misinterpreted phenomena. Still, they could be useful measuring systems. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio...." that can be accounted for by so-called "scientific" methods which always seem to find the method necessary to prove any given theorum given enough time and resources. Are sub-atomic materials particles or waves? All depends on how you measure them. Anyone who has been following modern physics with the least bit of interest has propbably noticed that the line between science and mysticism is becoming thinner by the day. Try reading Fritjof Capra's "the Tao of physics". The "gooble'd'gook" of yesterday may well become the science of tomorrow. String theory anyone?

Thanks Bill. As Mr. Spock would say..."Fascinating". However, a disregard for belief in EITHER theory of gravity would, i am afraid, yield the same result in the case of the 10 story walk off a building It's nice to see conflicting theories of anything being able to agree on such a vital point.

Hi Tim, there is Barong Dance in Batu Bulan area near Denpasar city in Bali which in the end of the dance, many dancers got trance and tried to stab their own chests using keris but the keris blade couldn't go in. Well, the show is performed about 9.00am local time in the morning, hence nothing spooky about it like the lullaby of scary vampires who can perform magical terrible things only after sunset. You don't have to believe the show is real, all you have to do is just visiting Bali to prove it with your bare eyes, and kill me afterward if it is proven a lie. Anyway your comments more appreciated rather tacit spiritual welcome comments of my own fello Indo/Malay people. ~IBS
