Ebbie... I don't find it at all difficult to experience and 'believe' in love, yet attribute it to mechanisms in my brain, just as I experience and 'believe' in beauty, happiness, evil..etc...

I have LONG explanations of why I see no conflict in this, but suffice it to say that I find it MUCH easier to just use working definitions than to posit some metaphysical phenomena that I can't get a handle on. Philosophers spent centuries trying to imagine that Plato's "eternal forms" were somehow independant of 'us', and very strange treatises were written about such matters! Fortunately, they have largely gotton beyone that approach.

And for the record, I think that the evidence FOR DR. Persinger's ideas is stronger every day.
