Thanks much for putting that into a more observational perspective. I think you're right. Even at the 'thought' level, if there are others, independent of you, who have similar observational awarenesses, that is proof of a sort, like that shaman in the mental hospital.
I was pointing out in a private email just days before that article, where he said I reminded him of someone in a mental hospital, I said, no doubt I did, because I'm learning so many of them are there because they were seeing the spirit realm level of things as I did. They just didn't know what it was and others and themselves thought they were crazy.
