ok Alan

you got it across to me! Although, fellas, I never had your type of experiences, such as eating or drinking and those attendant sensations, I still believe you two when you say it happened to you. and congratulations!
however, I do have a friend who has felt and smelled fresh grass. that would be divine and inspiring I know.
the nearest "physical" type sensation to George's question I had during obe would be touching the solid flesh of a teenager I was retrieving once. so yes, from that I conclude our senses also will continue in the afterlife as we know them, and perhaps greatly enhanced.
love, alysia
