Greetings, Deny Ignorance.
I am AlroyFarms, but you may recall a little member on the other side called NarcolepticBuddha. Along the way I had lost some of my natural jovial spirit. In other words, I have been known to be quite the big jerk! If I had ever personally attacked you, I'd like to apologize for that and say that I'm here to start a new, fresh chapter.
So what can I bring to Deny Ignorance? Unfortunately, probably not very much! I am no great scholar or fieldsman. I have few achievements or contributions to my name. I'm just your average Joe Six-Pack (sober for over 1 year now) who carries an unquenchable curiosity and wonderment for life. I have had a paranormal experience or two in my time so I hope I'm in the right place for that.
First and foremost I do have narcolepsy which is a neurological sleep disorder. Sleep paralysis, or hypnagogic/hypnapompic sleep, is something I experience quite frequently as a symptom of the disorder. I don't believe that it is just a quirk of the sleep experience like many might say. I can usually initiate the experience at will, but since it can be a frightening experience I choose to avoid it. It does and can happen without my consent though. I believe there may be some spiritual significance to it, and that it is connected in the way of Out Of Body Experiences (of which I have experienced many times.)
I am a cancer survivor and during my 2.5 years of treatment I have transformed from an atheist into--well, something else. Whatever shock to my system, I became deeply involved in the metaphysical: spirituality, prayer, meditation etc.
I'd like to believe I hold a delicate balance between skepticism and belief in all things. I have an understanding and appreciation of good scientific method as well.
I am a drummer. I [used to be] a wannabe poet who has had a few poems published, but I only write for pleasure and catharsis now. I play inline hockey. I am really just a jack-of-all-trades. I have passion for living life and helping others enjoy life as well. I continue to struggle with some health issues, but I try not to let that stop me.
Basically, I'm not here to assert or argue or convince anybody of anything. I'm not sure that I will be posting my own threads too often. I will probably just chime in when I feel it. Otherwise I am expecting to just continue to enjoy reading the posts of everyone else.
My thanks to those who took the time to read my introduction and welcome me to DI.
Oh! And I saw that our benefactor, TSK, has given permission to re-post our old threads here. With some updating and slight editing, I'd love to share a handful of my paranormal experiences here if there's an interest.
Enjoy the holidays and be well all!
