Re: John Titor Update: Exclusive Report!
And there's the rub Starlord. Wanting to believe in something does not necessarily mean that a person will always experience the sorts of things that Pamela and the other people who participated in the email experience went through either. The alter-vu's didn't just happen to Pamela alone. If I remember correctly, and Pamela can verify this for us, they happened to everyone who went through that experiment with her. Mass halucinations are possible, however, it is unlikely they will happen to everyone in the group and that everyone will experience them in similar fashions, especially given that these people posted on a message board. They weren't in the same building at the same time.
Also, I am sure there were people who did the email thing on a lark. Putting Pamela's experience to the side for a minute... Would you expect all of them to have a halucinatory experience? I wish I had been around at the time to do it myself. I consider myself to be a pretty level-headed person. But, then again, if I would have done it back then, I would have only done it on a lark. My attitude would have been, "Oh yeah, "big time traveler" is going to send a message to myself in the past. Yeah right!" (eye-roll) I have to believe there were other people who wrote those emails with the same attitude... or at least one of them. And, if they had an alter-vus, then how do you explain that away? They weren't looking for something to happen. In fact, if I remember the story, even Titor told them it wouldn't affect them in this time line. So, how do you account for it?
\"Wanting to believe in something can do many things to our
intelect and subconscious. It can obsfucate our senses and our awareness to the point that we draw through a preconcieved strainer all which we percieve. It can even change our dreamstate because what we want does not exist here in the day to day physical world.\"
