My dearest @rickie 😍

You have no idea how these following words made me happy! It just made the time I spent putting this piece of work together worthwhile! Thank you so much for your constant kindness :)

but this article sure gives me a new perspective as to the role of brain-glitches and hallucinations in what we visually perceive and interpret as extra-terrestrial, ghosts, OBE's and supernatural occurrences.

I am sorry to hear about your mum! When my dad passed away years ago, for a couple of times I heard his laughter. It was SO real! It was as if he were there next to me.

psychology still has a long way to go in completely convincing all and sundry, most especially scientific novices that what they assume to be supernatural, ghostly or otherwise, are merely hallucinations activated by brain-glitches or a starved and stuttering brain

This is a very interesting observation Rickie. From a psychological perspective, for example, I don't think it is our job to convince people about the neurobiological nature of their grieving-hallucinations. In the case of someone like Mrs. Toben, for example - which reflects so many others - she was happy and comforted by her late husband's visits. There would be no good out of saying, "it is just a neural glitch mrs. Toben". At the same time it is not a helpful thing to encourage it!

I will do my best to post the sequel for this series next Friday! Lots of love to you too my dear :)
