It was 1983, I think, and my sister D, her boyfriend (my Dad's "favorite son") KikoRob and my just younger than me bro and I went to an Indians game in early Sept. Got utterly trashed on the ganja during the game and my sis did leave her purse behind. We didn't even realize it 'til we were out the gate and headed into the parking lot. That's how high we all were. 

 

Well, of course her car keys, money and the ganj were all in that purse and we weren't getting back home (45 miles to the W of downtown C-Town) without ANY of 'em. {rollin'eyes}  I was already tres agnostico by this time in my life, searching for a deity and fairly sure there was one but still ignorant (and knowing it) about most of the world's faiths.  None-the-less, I was feeling way out of luck since Cleveland was essentially a variety of Hell at that time. D & KR went off to the seats to see if it was still back there, so I plopped my but down on a guardrail and starting talking to Whatever, just saying over and over again, "God find this for us and ...." I honest can't now recall what I'd promised repeatedly for that 10 or 15 mins of repetitive zen begging, but am pretty sure it wasn't to be a christian again.

 

Next thing you know, here come the two of them, smiling and grateful dancing through the lot back to where my bro and I sat.  Turns out the purse wasn't at the seats, so they found the lost and found.  No one there had seen it either and they were starting to panic (heh! starting to! :) ) when in walks this giant cat in shabby baggy clothes carrying something protectively against his chest.  He hands Her Purse over to the peops at the counter and just said words to the effect of, "Found it by where I was sitting. Probably someone's looking for it."  Apparently he just turned and walked away without looking at anyone.  Sis opens it when the peops at the desk let her see inside it and everything is there. Everything.  Untouched. Unrifled through.  Intact. 

 

That incident did more to engender my faith in People than it did in any deity, but it also kept me searching.  And the search has been worth it, even sans any actual deities discovered.  People both Suck and Rock.  I'll never deny any individual their capacity to Rock, no matter how much they may seem to Suck at a given time.

The thing about the atheists using the same location in the brain to achieve the "prayer state":  It's actually not a stumper at all.  It's soooo cool that all hominids have that confluence of activities which produce beta (I think) waves. The same as in REM sleep. It doesn't matter what faith is using the meditation techniques as long as the person does it sincerely their brain will (heheh) vibrate that same way. :))

 

My own personal Extraordinary story to follow. :))
