I don't understand everything that happens and don't feel a need to. I figure if something happens, it's "natural" and "normal."

I take things as they present themselves.

The funny thing about this quote, ART, is the fact that it works for me too. Esepecially the natural and normal part. Spirits and all is natural and normal as far as I'm concerned. :)

I believe there are a lot of things in this existence that humans are incapable of understanding. Ghoust, aliens, etc., may all very well exsist. The problem is that there is no hard evidence other then eyewitness accounts. Until a spacship lands on the White House lawn for everybody to see aliens stories will never be taken seriously be skeptics and rightfully so.

I personnally have faith in the idea that life outside of Earth does exist simply because of the fact that we exist. Given the amount of opportunities for life to form in the universe and to evolve to consciousness, it's foolish to think we are the only ones. Not to mention the potential for other dimentions to exist right next to ours. Even if you are religious you have to figure that God has some side projects.

I think you're wrong. It's not about believing really. Pixies are a bit different. You don't hear about random people claiming they saw a pixie fly in front of their face while on the shitter. It's about leaving your mind open to possibilities. In order to have an open mind you need an imagination. How is it a lack of imagination determines a lack of understanding? I think that people who don't have leave themselves open to what you know to be reality based on what you see or feel actually end up being the one who believes everything they are told. I've met people that think the same way. Usually the math minded person. They need proof for everything, drives me nuts. Proof would be nice, but if you don't physically experience it , it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
