I apologize for yet another religion-oriented thread, but this one aspect here is of a considerable interest to me.
I've heard tales from some of the christians I know personally, and from some religious people on other forums, including people who turned to a religion not in childhood, but in the more "aware" age periods. They were telling about certain experiences they had, of the "revelation" type, something like sensing a divine presence, which had supposedly strengthened their belief. Has any of you (I mean the believers) experienced similar "paranormal" sensations associated with religious archetypes/imagery ? Could you please describe your feelings in detail ?
I can certainly assure you that I'm not going to use this information against you in any way, including mocking, ad hominem attacks, generalizations and derogatory comments. I would also like to ask the board-sages (you know who you are ) not to interfere until at least a few people have submitted their stories. Let's leave the scientific argument about possible natural causes of such experiences for a later time - right now I really want to know more about your subjective feelings and images appearing to you. Include as much detail as you wish.
Thanks in advance,
D Mullholand
