Ha! We both seem to be considering the possibilities of romance here...but no...I'm too old for you. (sigh) Besides, I'm fed up with romance. :-) Look, I am willing to recommend some books if you are willing to join this forum as a member, instead of logging in as a Guest.

Proof? You want proof? How am I supposed to do that, when you're in Australia and I'm in Canada? Just read the darned books and form your own conclusions. The proof is in the actual living and testing out of spiritual concepts over a period of time, not in looking at something through a microscope or measuring it with a micrometer or viewing it on a radar screen.

I find the story of your various past beliefs rather intriguing, to say the least. "Constitutional Monarchist"?? Unusual. Why would you, as a Pagan, be so strongly opposed to ideas about spirituality? Most pagans seem to believe in spirituality, given my past experience.

We have no existing means of "measuring" spiritual energy that I know of...except for one. I'm not sure you would regard that one as valid, because it uses the human body, not a machine, to do the measuring. My guess is you would not accept it, no matter how many times it was demonstrated...or by whom...including yourself.

But I'll tell you this...you can feel spiritual energy. That again, I think, would not serve to convince you of anything.
