A couple of years ago, shortly after some significant brain damage, I had some very emotionally compelling experiences of the sort typically described as “supernatural.” And so I asked myself the question: what’s more likely? That the things I experienced happening actually did happen? Or that I was hallucinating due to brain damage?
I eventually bit the bullet and accepted that “hallucinating” was overwhelmingly more likely… but it was not an easy thing to do.
(nods) These sorts of situations really do arise.

Reminds me of this story.
