There was a clear answer. It just wasn't what I wanted to hear.

Things are going really well right now.

After reading this answer I feel I definitely need to work on my faith. None of this can work as well as it should if there is none. The trouble for me is that science came first. Doubt everything. Ask questions. Avoid influencing the outcome. And then get money involved, for an invisible product, ...

No. I picked it up from Osho.

Whether a spirit CAN inflict serious or fatal injury, and whether they’d be WILLING to, are two separate things. Please don't make excuses for them. If it is real and physical, they can't do it. Not so much as a healthy "Boo!" in traditional fashion. If you sit quietly and imagine you are...
