But, if a donkey (which I've only seen in person a couple of time, I used to live in the country) talked to me, would I accept that as something that could *only* be explained by a higher power? or would i say that it could have been me... not hallucinating, because that draws comparisons to drugs, but daydreaming?

I honestly don't know. I guess it'd all depend on how surprised I was and how real it seemed. I guess what the donkey had to say would be important to. If it said "get a sandwich"..... hehe

I don't think you'll ever hear a donkey tell you to get a sandwich, haha! That would just be weird, or even a snake tricking you into eating a peice of fruit.

Supernatural to me, is that realm where things cannot be verified through science. Things like spirits, on the lower scale [emotion] on a higher, [honesty] and [love] and [compassion]. Can we know their substance? What they are made of? No, but we can experience them subjectively. This to me is supernatural. Same with God and faith.

We try to make things complicated, or religious leaders do so in attempt to gain control. Christ on the other hand simply told us to love one another as he loved us. [without condition]

It is an amazing thing when you come to a point where love permeates your being...It is an amazing [experience] through which my faith has been established. That is 'supernatural'
