It is a good thing that you are striving for the rational and balanced. Moderation and reason are far too rare, especially in the clouded and confused world of metaphysics. We need people who are able to use the yardstick of reason and logic to measure the credibility of claims. Far too many people are simply willing to believe anything that they hear, read, or see. These often selfcongratulate on how "open minded" they are, but psychology, with greater wisdom and experience, has always regarded them as simply gullible. An old joke reminds us, "You want to be open-minded, but not so open that your brains fall out!" Most "channelists," and many "extraterrestrialists," fall into this sad category. So do many highly religious people. The acid test for any belief is, "Does it harmonize with the possible and the reasonable?" Miracles do occur, but they are called miracles precisely because of their scarcity. Believing that miracles are "everyday events" is a sign that you have already passed over. The signpost is just up ahead: The Twilight Zone. In other words, fantasyland.:)
