If you see something out of ordinary, how can you be sure that you actually seen it and was not hallucinating?

You can't, really, its all a matter of faith. If you believe you saw it, then you did. If it makes you feel good, it doesn't matter if its real or not, just that you saw it. Now if its a bad thing, I'd be screaming at the top of my lungs.....

Oh, dear.  So many of them have been disproven.  Be sure to look up the methods of fraud being used as well, such as statues with yes of porous stone, etc.  Best to be careful, as the church doesn't need that sort of publicity.\nAt the same time, science never suggests that something is false because so many have been found to be false.  There may be some real miracles, and waiting for God to prove himself is hubris in the extreme.  I can think of few other apparitions I'd rather meet in a dark alley, or in the skies.\n\nThat some people have dream-like visions while awake is already proven fact.\n\nI had a "vision" of God when I was seventeen.  I still leave open the possiblity that it might have been something else, despite the wonderful results of that experience and knowing it's truth.  There are always other possibilities for what caused my experience that a sane and thoughtful scientific man should consider.   Yet, we must never be afraid to explore the unexplored.\n\nKeep searching.

There is a physical condition that makes you see odd things, a common one is an object floating in the sky. Try the Fortean website, \nwww.forteantimes.com\n\nA friend of mine sees Bruce Lee, dressed as in Enter the Dragon.

I don't believe in ghosts, but I do know what I saw wasn't human. Me and a friend were driving on the highway when suddenly a large 10 ft white object floated over the median and into my lane. I swerved to avoid it and got a weird feeling about it. I thought maybe it was a trash bag or some tarp or something, but it looked smokey.. almost like fog, but yet it was in a defined form that looked like a being. I asked my friend if it was a trash bag, and he said no it definitely was not. I saw what was that? And we both had a period of silence. We both decided that it had to of been a ghost. This was out in the middle of nowhere, I belive near some battlegrounds. I've also had another experience with the same friend. We were both working on our computers when suddenly there was a loud CLAP to the left of us. It sounded like someone clapped right next to my ear. Inquiring what it was, we never decided on anything logical. I tried to calm myself saying maybe it was something electrical, or mechanical, but there was no logical explanation to be found. Very very strange.

They call it misdirection. What the mind sees thinks is real. When they show you one thing they are secretly doing something you wouldn't know what to look for on the side to get the awe inspiring effect. Only other magicians or people on the "know" can understand. Scientifically, the whole world would know if Chris Angel really levitated or he'd be locked in a jar for Military research and we would never see something like that for real.

Yes...\nI haven't seen one,but I've had an encounter with something unhuman/not visible in several cases.

look them straight in the eye and try rubbing your finger on the outside of your nose to imply there is something hanging out...

Some things you just have to believe without seeing.

I would recommend you first put your mind in a neutral position.  Then start reading and observing.  if you find you still have seteotypical thinking, then either you are right, you never put your mind in a neutral position or you missed something.

I know you may not want to believe it, but there are evil spirits that can take posession of people. I have seen it. And I would encourage you not to be too confident about your opinions on this. There is more out there than you may have encountered, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Look at objects around your house from different distances.  Can you see them clearly without squinting?  If you are in doubt have your eyes checked by a professional.  If you do need glasses, you can't prescribe them yourself.

I assume you mean mirage? If you can feel it, it's real, if not, it's a mirage - or an hallucination.

When observing life one has to step back from precognition and judgment in order to observe reality.  Real life is actually seeing things as they are, and not as you want them to be.

You can't see what doesn't exist.  Only the blind faithful "see" anything and that is part of hysterical visions.  That or being drunk or drugged.

"I am sorry but I had to answer in response to the "believing in things you cannot see is called hallucinating" comment. I was always taught that "hallucinating" was seeing things that aren't really there. Which is not necessarily brought on by mental illness. Sometimes it is something as simple as a fever, or drugs.\nNot believing in thing that you can not see. I believe in the wind... something I can not see. By this logic most people alive have a mental illness."\n\nBefore I answer the question I want to address this post.  If hallucinating is seeing something that is not there? Than can you explain a belief in something you've never seen?  Don't give me the canned answer of " I see God in the beautiful sky" or "God has helped me" those answers are in no way proving to you that there is a God. They are just reassuring you that you have faith in God. Faith and Reality are not the same thing.  You say that sometimes you can't see the wind but you know it's there. How?   perhaps it is because it is a part of reality. You can feel it on you face. You can see it when it blows trees around. You can harness it to make energy. \n\n\nAs far as the site goes.  The point of the sight is that faith in God is pointless. They prove it by using science.  There is no way to compare science and faith. All you can do is test faith like you do science, and when you do don't make up lame reasons for why your faith failed. ie..... "God is mysterious" or "you don't really believe"  there is no way to prove how much someone believes, just like there is no way to prove that god is there.\n\n\nOne more thing\n\n"You would do better to go to Christian message boards\nDon't go to unbelievers\nThis is a good site and will teach you about all the things you need to know about others that don't believe and cults and false religion"\n\nThat is the point. Christin's are so unsure of themselves that they refuse to test their God.  Don't challenge your faith, but instead surround yourself with only those that think like you. \n\nWant to find out the real truth about religion and God? \n\nThan ask someone who has thought it out rationally and logically.\n\nNot someone who will disconnect themselves from common sense in order to appease there inner need for a father/mother figure.

I guess there isn't any way to know for sure that we know everything is there?\n\nYou could take the perspective of some people and "just have faith".   No need to use reason or logic, no need to ask, no need to doubt.....JUST HAVE FAITH!

Anything is possible. But I haven't seen it for myself yet on this matter. There's a lot of stuff out there that we have no proof of yet we still believe it to be true. For example, God...we haven't seen God or the Holy Spirits but we have faith that its True or vice versa. So , I guess it is up to you. There's a lot of stuff out there that we don't know about, why cut our dreams short and say it's not possible. BE Optimistic---anything is possible....even time traveling.
