you doubt it, based on your belief system, which is a result of what you have experienced.
to say you think that what others have experienced in regards to the astral world, obes, aliens is just another fantasy like unicorns is of typical inexperienced materialistic mentality. there is a big difference between the astral plane and the unicorn plane if you have not noticed, but of course it takes one with experience to differenciate the two.

How do you know that your experiences are indicative of anything beyond the workings of your mind? This is the danger of refusing to verify one's internal representation of reality.
I aim to create an accurate internal representation of reality by researching & verifying the contents of my experiences. Too often we are fooled by what we WISH was true/real.

what did you want to learn about the paranormal, and did that possibly affect the outcome of your education?

Are you saying that he ignored evidence because he didn't believe that there could be evidence?

and i aim to make it understood that we as humans with our limited grasp on things do not and can not fully know the inner workings of the mind and its potential, based on what we read in the science textbooks.
have you ever had a collective obe with another person?
have you ever projected into the astral plane with another person?
has your mind ever merged with anothers?
it seems that what we currently know as the mind isn't actually knowledge at all, in that we cannot objectify and put into words something so complex as the mind.

That purty much leaves out everyone but Veritas. I would say it's lonely at the top but she doesn't seem to be lonely.
