Many years ago I hiked to upper-Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park. At the top, there is an innocuous little stream a few hundred yards from the falls. I was approaching the stream with a friend when we saw an attractive young female slip in the 2 foot-deep stream. She fell on her back and her pack acted as a float. She was like a bug that could not turn over. My buddy and I ran as fast as we could, but we were out of range and could only watch helplessly as she was carried over the 300 foot falls. Her last words were, "Oh, no!" It was horrific.  :frown:

She is NOT here to tell how a branch was meant-to-be there to save her.




How strange that this same story as told by Swami was meant-to-be told years later by Orgone.

Swami said:
Just got through reading "Blind Courage" about a blind, middle-aged, alcoholic who becomes "born-again" and decides to walk the 2000 mile Appalachian Trail with his seeing-eye dog as a tribute to God.

At one point Irwin is fording a stream with dangerous rapids a few hundred yards away. He slips and is being helplessly carried by the current as he is unable to swim with a 70 lb. backpack on. "Miraculously" his backpack hooks on a submerged branch saving him from being swept into certain injury and possibly being drowned. He flatly states that the branch was not just there "by coincidence".

If this was true that God placed the branch there (as if tree branchs do NOT fall into rivers and streams all over the world) then doesn't that mean that God also caused him to slip on the mossy boulder while crossing?

Doesn't this also go back to the fallacy of ad hoc reasoning? I.E. he only tells the tale BECAUSE he survived.

What an exciting thing to witness. Very powerful. Life and death in all it's amazing splendor. I can see why one would remember this.

Well it's obvious they both saw the same event and that's purty cool.

:haha:

I've never understood why Orgone is allowed after Swami was banned, but I don't care he's good at Arching.

Some things are more likely to happen, but nothing is meant to happen. Except perhaps, biological 'truths', such as a baby is meant to grow into an adult.

Oh, so that's what it's called.  I see a lot of things in this forum I don't see in others.  This place must be special.
