In my teens a number of long term health problem I had suffered were diagnosed as food allergies, the worst news was that I was very allergic to coffee, which broke my heart. For years I had been a coffee lover, experimenting with blends, and different percolation methods, I had been a true coffee lover. Even though I can no longer drink the nectar myself, I still love the small, still love to make coffee and my 2nd wife benefits from it. She is a complete addict and these days will not drink coffee made by anyone else. My skills as a barista therefore helped me to find the love of life.

I'm fascinated by the question: Is reincarnation possible?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 4, 2021:

90% of the modern western obsession with reincarnation originated with the "Bloxham Tapes" made by Arnall Bloxham the father of regression therapy. ALL of Bloxham's work has been thoroughly debunked as subconscious recounting of films, novels, historical texts etc while under deep hypnosis. However Bloxham inspired several famous works of fiction such as the Audrey Rose case, the Bridey Murphy case, the Peter Proud case and others, that established the idea in the public imagination of reincarnation of tortured souls returning to seek justice or vengeance in a new body.

I'm fascinated by the question: Is reincarnation possible?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 4, 2021:

Reincarnation is based on the idea of the transmigration of a soul and so presumes the existence of a soul, there is as little evidence for the existence of souls as there is for gods. Reincarnation is a fun idea, but it is no more real than sparkling vampires, dragon's hoards or armored polar bears.

Here's a random thought: If demonic possession is a thing, why isn't angelic possession?

LenHazell53 comments on Apr 1, 2021:

First of all in Christian mythology demonic possession does not mean that a demon takes you over, (except in Hollywood and in Peter Blatty novels) the term actually means you become so corrupt in yourself that you voluntarily take possession of (invite in) a demon and allow it to work through you, the same goes for Angelic possession. Yes there are Christian myths of Angelic possession, Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is one such story, though Angel's apparently bless you with moments of pure joy and sometimes special powers. Angelic possession was the basis of the action horror film "Legion" (2010)

One gave in to an "its him or me ultimatum" from his fiancé later wife, who claimed I was a bad influence, because when he was with me he was having to much fun. The other died at the age of 52 in Japan, alone, of a heart attack, in a bad marriage, to a woman who reverted to her maiden name after his passing, he working two jobs in Hiroshima to pay off debts she had not told him she had when they married. He could not even leave her as under Japanese law you cannot leave the country if you or a member of your family is in debt. And all that is not counting my mentally and physically abusive late first wife This is why I don't have friends anymore, just family, colleagues and acquaintances. One can only take so much heart ache and disappointment in one life time.

He was a draft dodger and was soley responsible for the deaths of almost everyone who worked on "The Conquerer" his love letter to his hero Ghengis Khan, by filming on the cheap on land formerly used for atomic bomb testing in Mexico that was still massively radioactive. This resulted in everyone at the shoot suffering radiation poisoning and dying from radiation induced cancer, including Wayne himself within 23 years.

Years later when Alexander the great marched in to Phrygian, the son of Gordias, Midas offered Alexander the whole kingdom if he could untie his father's knot and steal his ox, believing it an unsolvable problem. Alexander took out his sword and severed the knot in one swipe and then killed Midas with a second and took the kingdom.

Hence religion being far more popular than ideologies, with the possible exception of totalitarianism, which replaces the supernatural with mythological idealisms until people are sufficiently brain washed to accept full blown magical thinking.
