As a hypnotist scores of people wanted me to help verify their own opinion of their past lives. I would not. It smacks of spirit mediums and not science, technology and neural science.

Thirty years later, from what I have learned of cosmological theories regarding a holographic universe and a dark matter dimension and a multiverse I have become more 'flexible' in my judgement than Steve Shaw, who I invoke as a baseline of a skeptic. History proves even the most staunch skeptics are sometimes proven wrong in time.

We, the rational, all may be partially right for the wrong reasons.
Facts are fixed until replaced by a fact due to the occasional death of knowledge and gaps between civilizations in time and space.

Truth is a river with eddies and currents that crosses cultures paradigms and POV. There are many rivers; some do not reach the sea, but all have more than facts floating in it. There are all sorts of stuff in the river including lies, conspiracy theories, fearful thoughts, fairy tales and garbage. We all live fairly close to some kind of River of truth. There has always existed a fact shortage in the water.
