Do you believe in super natural powers?
I think my answer depends on what you consider to be supernatural. The brain is an extraordinary organ. I’ve experienced things that are considered outside of the norm, but I can only define “the norm” by the average human experience. I think there are a lot of things that could be explained; we simply lack the knowledge to understand those things, so we call them supernatural.
Examples from my personal experience are phantom smells of gumbo in my late grandparents’ house six years after they died, and falling under hypnosis (“slain in the spirit”) at church without my consent. A lot of people would call that supernatural. It might be. It might not.
I feel like there is too much we haven’t figured out in regards to the field of neurology to be dogmatic about this.
