difficult concept to grasp, but while on his way to the window to look at the
approaching storm, he was admitting to himself that there was apparently more

“There is

spiritual realm?”
“There’s
no clear science on this, but the general consensus is that you have seen with
your spiritual eyes. They have opened, and in your case, I suspect they were

“Will my
spiritual eyes ever close?”
Prothro

loony.
