Major milestone for my 19 month old son with an atheist father and Christian/Catholic mother.

Trust me, I've considered all of those things. I didn't want to believe it because it freaked me out. It's been verbatim. I've even had conversations looking at myself through other peoples' eyes and knowing what they were going to say before they said it, essentially having conversations and arguments with myself through others' bodies as an observer. Not everything is testable with science and stating that because scientific experiments can't be done with either current tech or physical capabilities of humans doesn't mean it isn't real. I've won a poker game with this shit. I've gotten out of being arrested with it. I've experienced yogic breathlessness for four hours. I argued with a disembodied voice about God's status of alive or dead during that period, and it continued into my dreams for weeks, where he eventually got a body. I would dream, then wake up into another dream, and another, and another. Faces that I'd never seen before in the dreams, I end up meeting irl. Premonitions happen. Astral projection and floating outside of my body. Physically feeling other peoples' internal hatred and darkness in public and when I zero in on them they grunt and growl at me. Physically feeling their energy brush up against mine from yards away. My prayers get answered. Not everything is explainable - paranormal and supernatural, that's what they mean.
