The Angel I saw, his face shining brighter than sun;
His beautiful wings sparkle like jewels,
His garment was whiter as snow;
His arms and legs glow like polished chrome
Con men have started religions with a lot less than that. But the last thing we need is another BS religion so please don't start one.
I am not trying to start a religion here, in fact my true religion is Football... I vow for this believe everyday. I have wrote this poem 4 years ago! when i first encountered the spirit (i assumed it was an Angel). My initial take on the encounter it was either a delusion or a genuine spirit. How would I verify the facts? I didn't have a solid foundation of real evidence at that time, a part from the spirit "pulled my leg". And, i have another weak evidence that the same experience might resembles the divine encounter that happened to Daniel in the Bible.
Maybe i was blind and didn't face the fact it was just a hallucination; believe me when i say, if the same shit happen to you, I bet you will feel the same thing... It seemed the only logical explanation at that time, as i was going through a rough patch in my life and i needed a spiritual guidance.
Capiche?

To me, that isn't anything special or any further evidence. And that is if your memory of the event is event accurate; every time you access a memory it changes a little bit.
I mean, consider what happens when you are asleep. Your mind fools you into thinking you're in some bizarre, crazy situation every time you have a dream. Also, when you're in the transition between dreaming and waking up, it's very easy for your brain to carry things over so they appear to be real for a little while. I can personally attest to that. Since both dreaming and waking are things happening mostly in bed, I think this addresses what you said about the bible too. The fact that strange occurrences are written in the bible gives them no more weight than any other claims. The language used in the bible seems to suggest that people at that time put massive stock in dreams having significance, and if someone had a dream but said it was a vision, a prophecy or God talking to them, people simply accepted it. It doesn't mean it really was what they claimed. People were very superstitious back then, even more so than now.
True that!
When I was under the negative influence of Islam, I was taught that prophet Muhammad was seeing a vision of himself dressed in woman clothing while in bed. It sounds really ridiculous!, the claim is according to his wife. Most of his prophecies were absurd and far more than reality itself, he had a vivid imagination, but he was able to deceive and persuade a whole nation with his irrational thoughts.
