Hello:

Regarding the theory of evolution, I believe there is more to it than Charles Darwin's theory. I figure life in this World isn't a mistake. It is a part of a divine plan.

I don't believe curiosity is the result of fear. It is a quality that gets us to check things out so we can find out what's possible. Otherwise we would be lethargic beings that have the ability to create and learn but never make use of this ability. I figure if we're going to exist for all of eternity, we need to make use of what we have access to in the most loving and wise way possible.  Some growing pains are experienced as we do so.

I've had a lot of experiences that convinced me about the afterlife, here are a few in shortened form:

1. I had what I refer to as my night in heaven experience. At the time I was a mixture of an atheist and agnostic, if such a thing is possible. I figured science had all of the answers.  During this experience I was absolutely certain that the afterlife existed. I very clearly understood how it was possible for it to exist without having to think about it. It was like, "Oh yeah."  The happiness level was wonderful. I understood that everything works out wonderfully in the end. I understood that this is what our existence is really about. I also understood that Jesus Christ was a divine messanger, but not in the fundamentalist way some people attribute to him.

2. One night I understood in a very clear way that this World isn't what I believed it to be, understood that I'm a spirit being, not a body based person, and that there is no such thing as a particular moment of time or space.

3. Experiences of divine love that couldn't be the result of my body based existence.

4. Out of body experiences.

5. Numerous communications with my spirit guidance in a way for which it is certain that my imagination wasn't responsible.

6. Through spiritual means I've become aware of things I didn't know about through physical means.

You're welcome.

I've found that science can't explain everything away. It is possible to have spiritual experiences in a manner where one is certain about what one is understanding.  One has an automatic knowing. One can't duplicate such a way of understanding by using one's intellect and World based memories.

My first out of body experience occurred when I had never heard of such a thing. I saw a spirit being during this experience, but didn't communicate with this being. The next day I went to the library and for some reason randomly pulled a book off of a shelf, and it ended up being about astral projection (out of body experiences).  The book described the paralysis and vibrational state I experienced during my out of body experience. It is hard to imagine that after years of never hearing about astral projection, the very next day after having such an experience, I grabbed a book about astral off of a book shelf, just by coincidence.

Hello ChaosSpirit,

I believe in the theory of Evolution, and I believe in the afterlife.

The sad thing is that there is a pattern of thinking, repeated and fed by the media,which is either you believe in science, or you believe in an afterlife. This is nonsense. The topic of natural science is objective data. Data which can't be reproduced or quantified in an objective, reliable way are not an object of natural science. This is ok, but to confuse it with "reality" is neither ok nor scientific. Our reality can't be described in a natural science manner, it's only a small filter-frame of what we experience. We can attempt to describe what is physiologically happening in our brain while having a particular experience, but this is not the experience in itself. Science is one thing we developed with our minds. Everything is in our mind. That doesn't make science less true, if we only remember it's limited field. Natural science is not philosophy.

I've had some explorations with TMI's and Bruces methods, which made me become much more knowing, responsible, and maybe even loving. And I've had OBEs which were just as real as physical reality. No one can tell me they were illusions, as they first had to prove to me that the "physical real world" is no illusion. That would be a hard job to prove this.

Spooky
