If you feel skepticism regarding a claim, try exploring that sometime. I doubt you'd be here talking about intuition or any sixth sense if you had. Cold and mechanical is what is required when you are attempting to thoroughly investigate any claim (or thoroughly demolish it).
But my life doesn't revolve around supporting or demolishing claims.
I totally Agree that skepticism is very important, esp. in this day in age when there's so much bullshit and deception out there!
I think you equate Buddhism with other religions too much. The Dalai Lama himself said quite surprisingly that Buddhism is not a religion, but a science. I view it as an ancient psychology.
I have recently been studying some Astrology lately. I am finding alot of interesting details in it that gives it more credence than I ever imagined before. I was just wondering what you might think of it.
Contrary to what you might think, I am not a blind faith believer in things at all. Yet I might have a somewhat overactive imagination lol. peace.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
