Not doing much work then, are you? There are all manner of entities around. They can be felt, seen, and heard with a little practice. Has it occurred to you that you are either not sensitive to it or your equipment isn't able to register their presence? It's crazy to call yourself an investigator of anything and then denounce its existence. That's just denial.

No, actually either you're in denial or you have equipment that isn't suitable for the job. No point checking humidity with a thermometer. Do you think we just can't devise the right machinery yet? There are energies absolutely everywhere. All manner of them. The very statement that you can't find them tells me that you need to find a new livelihood. You're in the wrong business.
I'm not saying that to be rude. If you cannot sense them yourself, all the equipment in the world at this point won't help you. I can feel them around me when they are present. There are times when my daughter (who is clairvoyant) has to bring them to my attention, but that's rare anymore.
My daughter has always been clairvoyant. I disregarded her comments when she was little about someone being somewhere in our home. I told her, like all "good parents", that she was just imagining things. I know better now. I hope someday you get to experience the paranormal too. Until then, please do not refute what you have no right to refute. Because *you* cannot find it doesn't mean it's not there. If you can't find love in your life, does that mean it doesn't exist at all? No, it does not. This is the same kind of thing. Ethereal.

LOL! Have you completely missed every place I've written that *I am the experiencer*. I am not asking others to do the sensing for me. I do it. I feel them. I hear them. I see them. I don't need further corroboration or validation that they exist. I don't need man-made machines and criteria registering and put on paper to tell me what I know. You cannot sense what is around you and so you need someone to quantify and qualify your surroundings to you. That, dear friend, is where the difference lies.
I didn't accept any of this stuff at face value at first. I was skeptical too. And I was spooked when something happened. But it did and frequently. I was firmly planted on the side of science but when you experience something for long enough, you cannot deny it anymore without having to declare yourself an utter fool. Science failed and still fails. Isn't that what you're experiencing? You can't sense these things with all the human ingenuity. Who are the charlatans? It's all about the hype and the money and the power to determine the reality of the weak-minded. And they do. You buy it. Do you feel smart now?
No one can dictate my experiences to me. I know what I know. That's what we call "reality", see. Do you understand? Because you haven't experienced it doesn't make it disappear from reality. You only define your own reality and yours consists of little men with pieces of paper showing you how much smarter they are than you. I give them no credence. My own senses are more than enough. This is my world.

What is ignorant is to deny your own experiences. So you now claim to have had OBEs but are they all in your head? If so, no amount of evidence will convince you. Your fear is too great.
LOL is not a sign of naïvete nor anything. This is the Internet. That is a wholly appropriate expression in lieu of physical presence. But I must say, you are making aspects of your personality very clear to not only me, I'm sure.
My advice is for you to accept things more readily. We are simply not equipped to explain things here. The human form is limited. Our experience is limited. Don't limit it more with your fear and need for validation. Just accept things. You will be happier.
Unfortunately our public dialogue is now over. Continuation will occur in u2u if you wish but this is really going nowhere and is now hijacking the thread. Bad form.
