2,547 if you include Buddhists. Of course there's been many other sects,
groups, religions etc from the beginning of coherency that have been able to
speak of 'strange' experiences. In a wider setting, the strange is normal.

Who's we?

Grace is being guided by divine will. It's precious. Would you give your
mother away?

Love is the drug :)

What has your experience been (apart from what you wrote earlier)? I was
curious to what brought you here?
(Of course you're very welcome... for my small vote...)

I wonder where (how) you looked when you had your experience? What moved you
in that way?

Yeah... But what is different to this, than to when people talked of the
second coming. There has always been something around the corner and when it
doesn't happen, what happens? People make up new stories and fabricate
things in attempt to maintain their ideas and beliefs as real.


Facing _now_ is a different kettle of fish.
