    What are the “woo woo beliefs” that you hold? If they’re semiplausible “what ifs” to explain the unexplainable that you yourself hold with a grain of salt… seems reasonable. If they’re more “omnipotent, conscious being in the sky explains all things unexplainable”… far less reasonable.

      My woo woo beliefs are that I am relatively sure that there are either external or deeply primordial metaconciousnesses that we can access through altered states—meditation, magick, and/or drugs. Though it is not something I can prove scientifically at this point, I have done a fair amount of experimenting with automatic writing as well as spent dozens of hours with people exploring the same sorts of phenomenon, and I’m relatively confident that there is some real thing happening during these communications, even though I can’t explain it.

      For the things I’ve experienced to be a coincidence would almost be more unlikely than for there to be an unexplained force at play, especially when I later gathered stories from other earnest seekers who had nearly identical mind blowing experiences, straight down to the order of events, feelings, and realizations.

      So though I can’t prove it, I’ve seen enough to want to know more, and I am relatively convinced that it is not just illusion because the evidence I have observed directly and indirectly screams otherwise.
