you are no longer a skeptic. Unfortunately, too many people are around who haven't had the experience and they rain on everyone's parade. "You're crazy, that was a coincidence, you were tired and confused", etc. That negative thinking is what keeps many people from being open to the signs. I almost feel sorry for them but they are so self righteous and act superior that it keeps people from acknowledging the experiences and keeps them from being open to more experiences, especially in Western cultures. They are psychically retarded.
