It is a weak argument because of the subjectivity of each persons experience, the lack of ability to find such phenomenon when tested, the lack of a mechanism by which this force would enact change in the subject, and disagreement as to the ultimate source or nature of the same.
I believe that you experienced something. That's never been my criticism. I only suggest that such experiences are common and better attributed to human biology than "spiritual energy".
it's one thing to be 'negative' but another to be rude and accuse people of eating shit.
I'm not arguing anything. I shared an experience I had. I'm sure the experience is linked to human biology. I don't really know how you would define 'spiritual energy'. I felt a real energy that affected me biologically. That's the top and bottom of it really.
