If I were a criminal investigator I would not spend time looking at the energy transference of the transplant. I would look at the one person who was close to both deaths.
But, yes, I am sure there is a country song in there.

There is help for you yet Brother. The delusions can be beaten.

2 Th.2:11-12 God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned. There is a shortwave radio preacher named Brother Stair, who has a cult in West Virginia, who uses that particular verse as the basis for this entire Theology. He and his followers are, of course, the elect.

Who isn't the elect? Any that disagree, but it is from the Bible so all that disagree can be treated as lesser but we are not allowed to bring that up.

So can you think about matters for which words have not been invented? The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for.

.. The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for. Perhaps learning a new language would help. Try French - considered to be the most suitable for diplomacy.

I have more words than I have meanings for.

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe" If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

I have found that "outside thoughts" have a different 'feel' to them. Of course, one has to be "aware" of one's own particular "vibration" to notice a difference between them.
And if telepathy and similar 'mind tricks were not a 'fact' federal governments would not have invested MILLIONS in developing 'remote viewers". One must always remember the principle of 'Cui bono? [Who benefits?]
It is NOT in the government interest that people should know of these things, so it would NOT surprise me in the least if I were to find that people like James Randi were paid to publicly "poo-poo" such things and thereby convince people that telepathy/astrology/psi phenomena in general "does not exist".
In my own experience it PAYS to inquire what people actually MEAN when they say things like "Astrology is a load of codswallop". Every time I have asked this question of someone I have found that the person's conception of "astrology" consisted of the daily offering in the local newspaper! This goes equally for "Joe Average" as well as actual scientists and members of Mensa. Not a single one of these had any conception of the complexity of actual astrology what-so-ever. So, I am equally skeptical of the 'skeptics", because they are just as IGNORANT of the reality of the esoteric as anyone else! NOBODY I have ever heard of who has ever actually taken up the serious and dedicated study of astrology in order to "debunk" it (and there are those who have!) has ever been able to do so!
It's like this: if James Randi is not well versed in the method of astrology, then he is a TOTAL FRAUD himself, and has no right to open his mouth on the topic!

I have certainly found that the more detail I know about a subject the harder it is to be dogmatic.
I also discovered that even the simplest of matters contains profundity. This I learned from a relatively simple fellow who suffered from possession, stealing money and filling his room with useless purchases so that there was hardly anywhere to walk.
I found that no matter how silly a comment I made to him, he could find some interesting aspect. From this I learned that it is very difficult to make a statement that has no validity at all. This encourages me towards tolerance.

If any skeptic is lacking information should not the astrologer or telepath correct that lack in discussion. It should be easy.
Let's conduct an experiment. I am going to project an image of a cross into your mind. Let me know when you receive it.

"Astrology is a load of codswallop". "Astrology is a quite serious science. It helps us launch spacecraft, missiles; we use it broadly to forestall suicides among the personnel. Experience shows it is unreasonable to reject it. Our estimates and forecasts are usually corroborated up to 70-75 percent." - Viktor Yakovlev, Commander of the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces "Believe it or not, every three months a summary of astrological prognoses predicting the place and date of future extraordinary occurrences is sent from the St. Petersburg Naval Scientific Research Institute to the Russian Defense Ministry's General Staff." - Komsomolskaya Pravda; January 21, 1998

I guess it must have been the stars. There is nothing else that could explain it.
