Thread Name: BS: Who will we blame for everything when...
Subject: RE: BS: Who will we blame for everything when...
An interesting thing happened to me about two months ago, I was working for an old farmer my area.
He had come to Scotland nearly twenty years ago from Ireland,and was a bit of a recluse, but an historian on matters Irish....He reckoned he was related to Roger De Mortimer who ruled most of Ireland many centuries ago.
Anyway, we enjoyed our conversation over a mug of tea and as I was rising to go,he asked me if I had any health problems. As I'm pretty strong and fit, I said not really but I had a quite severe irritation in my right ear which had bothered me constantly for about eighteen months, he held his hand over my ear for about a minute and said what sounded like a prayer in Irish Gaelic.
Off you go now, he said, "and god go with you"

I thought the old man was losing the plot so I made a joke and promptly forgot all about the episode. The following morning while making the porage,I realised that the irritation and pain in my ear had completely gone and has never come back since.

I find that very strange...maybe just coincidence?

I spoke again to the old man about a week ago and told him that my ear was cured...he was not in the least surprised, and told me he got his power from his belief in a Christian god, he tod me that he can feel the power like electricity in his hands....he also sees "things" in his house and believes there are spirits dwelling there.

I work in lots of empty houses, doing repairs for absentee owners and I sometimes feel something maligne about a house. There are two houses in this area which I refuse to work in for that reason.

I'm still an atheist as I think the feelings are a natural power which we don't yet understand...like telepathy.(Which I have also experienced)

But I still wonder about my ear!    :0(
