When people dismiss off things which they are not open enough to accept, they say its all in the mind. and they dont say it in a good way. This post by Ed on OBENewsletter on yahoo groups. Exactly what I feel so copy pasting it here
Here's what drives me crazy about these people and their explanations.
Everything we experience is processed by the brain. That does not mean we didn't experience anything.
When we walk, our feet touch the ground, the nerves in our feet send signals to our brain indicating that they
are perceiving the weight of our body on them, the tactile sensation of the ground we're walking on, and the
liquid in our inner ear senses motion.
Now consider telling a person who took a walk that they didn't actually take a walk. What they perceived as walking
was nothing but chemical reactions and neurons firing in the brain giving you the sense that you were touching the
ground, feeling your weight and moving forward.
Of course the brain processed this data! That doesn't mean the person didn't take a walk.
The only difference between the brain processing a walk and an astral walk is that you can't see the later objectively.
Therefore, to science-minded sheep, the astral walk didn't happen. But their logic is ridiculous.
When you're angry, the brain releases certain chemicals. That doesn't mean someone didn't piss you off.
