I've found no evidence against an evil magical toilet controlling the world via 23 identical metaphysical canisters of super-serum. So that must be true as well.
I'll leave you to your imagination.
Evidence is there.
No question about it Rob.
But there is a problem.
In order to get the evidence you first got to build up receptors in your mind.
I think you mean, you have to become very willing to be susceptible to confirmation bias.
How would you go about demonstrating that these "receptors" actually exist?

It is only when somebody explained to him that he should put an antenna on the roof point it
in the right direction make all the connection then he would be able to see images and sound.
Get it Rob?
Failed analogy.
No matter what someones religious beliefs are, they can demonstrate that radio waves actually exist.
You have so far been unable to demonstrate that there is anything supernatural to receive, nor that any "receptors" exist.

In the meantime your work with the preservation of old buildings is very well taken in high consideration
by all of us.
I have been meditating and doing yoga for over a decade.
The meditation helps my overall well being, and the yoga has helped with my surfing, and other sports performance.
Nothing supernatural.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
