Pittsburgh, PA – Today, Governor Wolf attended the VFW’s 53rd Annual Mid-Winter Conference in Pittsburgh.

Letters to the Editor: Instead of Fleeing, Why Don't Refugees and Illegals Fight for their Country?

 

With much turmoil in our country in regards to illegals, and then also "refugee's" we are all considering many differing thoughts about many differing issues. Noted is the big difference between an "illegal" and a "refugee" and their intended goals. The question that begs to be asked is the motive of either one an honorable one? It has been said many times that an illegal has entered into our country seeking a better life, work and opportunities. Crime statistics, drug trafficking, and gang activity might indicate this motive is debatable indeed. A refugee it can be argued is seeking asylum, a safe haven from an enemy, tyranny, or oppression and death. 

Menendez, Booker, Norcross, Redd Applaud $2M Grant to Help Camden Youth

 Prepare for, Find, Keep Jobs 

New Jersey – U.S. Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker, Representative Donald Norcross and Camden Mayor Dana Redd today applauded nearly $2 million from the U.S. Department of Labor to fund a demonstration project focused on providing young people in Camden with occupational and basic skills training, financial literacy and career awareness as well as links to real work experiences. 

 

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: TRAGIC MISTAKE ?

 The world is shocked as a passenger jet MH17 is shot from the skies, and even worse, sickened by how this situation has been handled and lack of response from ANYONE around the world other than meaningless talk. What is called a possible case of "mistaken identity" leading to a passenger jet being shot from the skies by "Pro Russian Rebels" supported and supplied by Russia continues to be an absolute atrocity to humanity. It was bad enough this jet was shot from the sky, but what has happened to date afterwards is a deplorable disgrace.

 

One Last Thing

 

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net

Over the past several months we have shared many odd and wonderful experiences as well as a few perhaps not so wonderful experiences from my past. In our human condition it is always the hope that what's taken from it is learning and expanding for our minds. Coupled with that is my sincere hope that you have enjoyed reading about these experiences and have gotten something from it that keeps your mind wondering and exploring. As with many things in this life, changes are always constant. Growing, learning, and moving forward is always paramount. 

Part of that change is that this will be my last article that I share with you. I have enjoyed sharing these experiences with you and sincerely hope you also have enjoyed reading about them. Always remember to keep an open mind and grow in a positive way. Be good to each other as you grow. Always be on the high road. I continue to learn and grow as is my hope for you. Thank you for reading and always be well.

Interesting Visit

Happy 4th of July

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

On a recent visit to an area hospital lab for routine blood testing I was afforded an interesting morning. I walked into the lab waiting area, and signed in. I was told to take a seat and someone would be with me soon. I obliged, grabbed a magazine, and sat down and began thumbing through an outdated copy of some sports magazine. As I sat thumbing through pages I got the sensation that the room was very crowded and yet only myself and one other person were in there waiting.

I also became keenly aware that although this was the "lab area" and waiting area, it was not always a lab, and that many sick people had passed here. Ordinarily this would not be a big deal to think that, or feel it even perhaps but when you start asking questions that's another story. The woman at the counter gave me a vey odd look when I asked if the I.C.U. used to be located here before it was a lab? She countered with her own question, "Did you work here in the past" ? I politely said no I did not, but had other reasons for asking. It did indeed used to be the location of their I.C.U. before remodels and upgrades thus leaving this area for the lab use. It was an interesting experience if somewhat weird but sometimes its things that are just that simple. 

Hoping a Happy 4th of July for all and remember, none of us are alone in the human condition.

The House On Cleveland Avenue (Cont.) Part III

 

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

Unexplainable occurrences by this time had become something I was getting used to but my fear grew in spite of that. When the radio was removed from my room due to unexplainable activity is when I realized it wasn't the radio "they" were following. The radio was simply a channel used to make their presence known, an attention getting avenue if you will. I became keenly aware of this when I began seeing shadows and shapes moving through the upstairs hallway of this house coupled with an acute sense of not being alone. It was like that feeling you get when someone invades your personal space and you are very aware of their presence. Have you ever noticed how you feel a person when they are near you, and the closer they get the more intensely you are aware of them? 

The House On Cleveland Avenue (Cont.) Part II

 

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

Seeing chairs move on their own would be enough to have any person questioning their sanity and perhaps others question mine even as they read this. Have you ever seen something, or heard something and it left you wondering? I think many people have and some more so than others. My fear in this house grew rapidly and seeing chairs move was the least of my worries I would soon find out. This is the time in my life that I became aware of being in tune and aware of something around other than the worldly things we know and recognize everyday. It led to many years of denial, fear and avoidance of many things that I did not as you know, over come until much later in life. 

In my bedroom of this house was a clock radio. I love listening to music, mostly rock and roll as I always have had a keen interest in music. The energies in this house I would soon find out, had a keen interested in electrical devices also, but did not share my taste in music. MyMothers frustration grew constantly reminding me to turn off the radio when I leave the room. It was hard getting her to believe that I was turning it off and it kept turning itself back on. Electrical problem? I knew better. The radio had a knob that had to be turned the on position and was indeed back to the on position. The only proof I had of this was that the music that would play was usually classical type music not even to my liking. Never the less, this radio would turn on by itself at all hours of the day and night. The end result to my chagrin was the radio was removed from my room. That radio to this day haunts my memories of living there and to this very day I remain keenly aware of energies and a variety of ways of how they can be channeled and tuned in. 

Follow next week on Friday as this continues to unfold and I will share with you how I became aware of "them" with some interesting developments. Thanks for reading and until next week stay well.

The House On Cleveland Avenue

 

by Earl Foster / CNBNEWS.net 

The following story is based on true experiences from my childhood. When I was a young boy around the age of 5 our family moved to a house that I will only refer to as "The House On Cleveland Avenue" as to not give its exact location. When my Mother first looked at the house to consider buying I was along when she met the realtor. I would not enter the house and insisted on waiting in the car. I knew immediately I wanted nothing to do with this house let alone live there. The strange thing is that it was an unassuming twin style house with nothing significant that jumped out at me. I simply sensed a very bad energy coming from the house and that energy felt powerful even just looking at the house from the car window. Of course from the very start my hope was that my Mother would decide against buying this house but that was not to be. 

Understanding An Empathic Psychic Medium

 

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

An empathic person as I have pointed out in the past just seems to know things. Sometimes they aren't even sure why they know it, they just do. An empathic pyshic medium who has real abilities or "gifts" as they are sometimes referred to struggles with many things. Even their own emotions can play tricks on them. Imagine an extremely heightened sensation of everything around you and always trying to sort out what is your own, or perhaps someone else's. Everyone has felt empathy at times. Have you ever felt bad for another person, or felt joy and excitement for someone else perhaps? This is a degree of empathy. If you couple that with psychic medium-ship abilities it becomes a very difficult struggle for some very obvious reasons once understood. 

The Empathic Symptoms

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

Some symptoms, or behavior that indicate a persons empathic abilities are known to many of us. One of them is "knowing". Empaths just know things but its a knowing that goes way beyond intuition or gut feelings. Have you ever experienced a situation and you "just knew" and you weren't even sure why or how?  Another is sympathy pain, or picking up the on the ailments of others, empaths are keenly in tune and can often forewarn of things. I have on several occasions experienced predicting pregnancies, even before the Mother knew of it herself. They were later amazed to learn it was indeed accurate. To date, I have not been wrong thanks to morning sickness.

Can We Have Empathic Traits ?

 

by Earl Foster / CNBNew.net 

We as human beings struggle to make sense of everything in our lives. The mind always clamors for logical answers. When psychic empathic traits or experienced sometimes those answers are elusive and confounding. I have read much about different levels and types of empathy. Have you ever experienced something "odd or weird" that you just could not explain? Some of the levels I have learned about are as follows and perhaps they may shed light on something you have wondered about. 

Altered States Of Consciousness

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

Much has been written about our conscious mind and altered states. Being a bit tipsy or even under the influence of drugs is of course one altered state of consciousness, but I am talking about something a bit deeper going on in our minds.When we are fully asleep is a good example. We pass through various phases of sleep to achieve what science refers to as "REM" state, or the rapid eye movement of sleep. This is reportedly the deepest stage of sleep and is considered an altered state of consciousness. During this stage although unconscious we dream, and have nightmares, or even visions and thoughts, that at times seem quite vivid. From this we conclude that the mind in an altered or even unconscious state continues to work and process things. It's interesting that during the most restful and deep phase of sleep where our bodies receive the best rest and replenishment that the mind continues processing. This alone tells us a a lot about altered states. 

Gifted Or Cursed ?

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

I have been considered by many to be what is referred to as an "Empathic Psychic Medium". Family members, friends or associates who have experienced certain things with me have widely accepted that it just happens sometimes. I am thankful for that acceptance and cherish them for it. Many do not share their acceptance. Many ignore it because they do not want to know. Others take a dim view of it as trickery and sorcery. Others see it as something evil to be shunned and pushed away. The question of "Gifted or Cursed" is something I have struggled with for many years. It has at times been a gift yes, but other times more of a curse as well. One might ask, how could something that is meant for good possibly be considered a curse? Keep in mind, I did not ask for this. I did not want this. I spent years hoping it would stop, or leave me. To date, it has not. It only seems to grow stronger as time goes by. 

Sometimes You Just Know

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

At times our intuition tells us certain things. We don't always listen to it and even more rarely do we follow it. Sometimes intuition goes against what we know or want, making it even more difficult to trust. Have you ever had a "gut feeling" or thought "I should really do this" and regretted later not following that instinct? I think we have all been on that page at some time or other. Intuition can be difficult to understand. In retrospect to that it can also be said that "Sometimes you just know". This is how it was for me on a day sometime ago (I am 54, I was in my early 30's when this event occured) that a close family member passed away. I will share with you the day my Aunt Helen said good bye to me. 

The Human Aura

 

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net

The human condition is a phrase I have used in prior articles I have written and something we are all familiar with. While remaining subjective and even objective, one thing most would agree on is that we are spiritual beings living inside of a human body. Does this lend credibility to the idea spirits exist? Do the worlds, or planes of existence sometimes collide making themselves known to those on all sides? These are question we may never have definitive answers for although many search for answers. It is with this in mind we think of spirit energies, or aura's, of both living people, or spirits of those who already experienced the human condition. Do spirits living now, or those past truly have an aura? 

The Piano Teacher

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net

Sometimes those interested or involved in learning about the paranormal and spiritual things refer to some encounters or experiences as "residual" spirits. They are just there, and continue to do what they do or did in life. Have you ever had the feeling that a passed loved one is still around at times? On a more recent visit at the request of the home owner to a home in South Jersey, I believe I had such an encounter with someone still doing what they did in life. 

The home owner contacted me suspecting that perhaps someone, or some spirit energy may be in the home. Nothing nasty or evil was sensed by the home owner but a presence was suspected at various times. Nothing disruptive of disturbing was occurring and she simply wanted to know if there was a presence there. I agreed to meet at the home and walk through, as I like to call it, to see if I met anyone. 

Interesting Visit (Part II)

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

I was certainly glad to see some people share their interesting observations and thoughts on last week's photograph and thank you for sharing you thoughts about what you saw. I am now submitting the photograph again only this time with a red outline around something I see. Along with that I will share some background on where the photograph was taken and the history of the place in which it was taken. Other than the red outline I put it, once again the photo is unedited or enhanced. I realize it is subject to monitor settings, computer graphic capabilities, and of course subjective to the human eye and interpretation. 

CNBNews CHEERS and JEERS for March 2014

 

 

BY CNBNEWS.NET

 

JEER—To the contracted snow plow trucks who stage in the Brooklawn Diner parking lot. They sit there for 10 hours prior to a snow storm doing nothing except annoying home owners by shining their bright lights at the backs of people houses and windows. Aside from this obnoxious inconsiderate behavior is the curious question; does the county get billed for this at the tax payers expense?

 

CHEER—To the Gloucester City Public Works department and the Gloucester City Fire Department for acting quickly to close the Lane Avenue Park when the electric poll was leaning over. By closing the park and blocking access to the danger area they helped keep our little ones safe. Good job to both departments and thank you.

CHEER—To Gloucester Township Mayor David Mayer and his Team for soliciting over $350,000 in campaign "donations" over the last three elections cycles, outspending their opponents 13:1 in the last election, ensuring they can continue stacking the Board Of Education with team players, keeping Pay-To-Play politics alive in Gloucester Township, rolling out deals like the $20 million solar panel project and the Norcross-Cooper land flip along RT42, along with the requisite kickbacks and no-bid contracts.

 

JEER—To the residents of Gloucester Township who allowed their town to be run by the most corrupt political crew in Camden County, so Pay-To-Players like Remington and Vernick could funnel money into ridiculously named PACs like "Citizen’s for Government Reform" and"Citizens for Responsible Government" in order to buy no-bid contracts. The residents deserve the 7% municipal tax increase they’re getting, the Red Light Cameras, poor performing schools, decrepit downtown, and their foreclosed neighborhoods.

 

CHEER—To the upcoming “spring”, with its promise of "fair winds and gentle climes."

 

JEER—To the past “winter” for all the stinking snow we had to shovel.

 

CHEER—The community of Bellmawr has had a influx of new businesses moving into the borough. Some of those businesses are : Amoroso Baking, Conrail Regional Training, Singer Equipment Company, Garrison Architects, Supercuts, Beautiful Butterflies Day School, Metro PCS, Papa Johns, Clean City Dry Cleaners. To make things easier for new businesses, Bellmawr works with each new enterprise to expedite the permit process. 

 

JEER—The City of Gloucester raised their water/sewer rate by $87 annually or $21.80 more per quarter. At the same time the Camden County MUA increased their rate for homeowners from $84 a quarter to $85.50 or $6 more annually. Residents have no other choice but to pay it. Politicians think by just raising the rate a few dollars at a time that the public will not notice. But at some point people are just going to say, “I had enough" and move out of Gloucester or do what 300 other people in the City have done already and abandon their home altogether.

 

CHEER-The Gloucester City Lions Club released its annual itemized report on how they spent your donations in 2013. If only more clubs/organizations would do the same. After all doesn’t the public deserve to know how their hard earn money is being spent. 

 

JEER—The City of Gloucester borrowed $2.15 million in bonds for sanitary sewer repairs in March. When the James administration came into office in 2007, taxpayers were $6 million in debt. Today, with the latest issuance of bonds, that debt is approximately $37 million or $31 million more. Tax and spend, that is what Democrats do. They don’t know any other way. 

 

Contributors to this column include: William E. Cleary Sr., Earl Foster, Dan Reader, and John Reynolds. If you have a Cheer or Jeer for next month’s column send it to CNBNews1@gmail.com

Interesting Visit

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

In this article I am submitting a photograph for your consideration. The photograph was taken by me at an undisclosed (for now) location. It has not been retouched, or enhanced or edited in anyway. It was taken with a simple digital camera and downloaded to PC, cropped a section of it and posted here for you to see. 

(Photo taken by: Earl Foster) 

 After looking at it and considering the picture with no prior knowledge given to you yet, I would like to hear from some of you and ask you "What do you see" ? Our brain always struggles to make sense of the things  we see. We attempt to put order and explanations to the things we see. Its subjective to each individual and people may always see a wide variety things. That being said...."What do you see in this photograph" ? Is anything obvious to you ? Any interpretations you may be getting? 

I will share the background story of this photograph and my interpretations also to see how they match up with yours. You can comment here or email me privately if you prefer or through our website which is always listed at the bottom with contact information. I am very interested in hearing some thoughts about this photograph and opinions are always welcome also. Be sure to read next weeks column and read my thoughts on this event and photograph !!!

Encounter With Evil

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

In last weeks column I made mention of a "dark entity" that I encountered when I was very young. Thinking of such things conjures up all sorts of images in our minds. It can invoke fears in us we would rather not subject ourselves to. Does this mean if we ignore them or choose not to acknowledge the dark things, do they no longer exist? In my humble opinion, absolutely not !! Rest assured that if we indeed believe in the good we also acknowledge our belief in the evil. Even in our human condition we know that not everything is always nice. With this in mind does it not hold true that everything outside of the human condition is also not always nice? I submit for your consideration that indeed, not everything is always nice, or a positive energy. 

Intervening Angels

 

by Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

I think everyone has at some point either heard, or coined the phrase "The angels must of been looking out for you" at some time or other. Perhaps a close call or a dangerous encounter of any kind has led you to wonder about this yourself. Have you ever seriously thought about the implications of that? Where did this idea come from or is it truly possible that they do indeed watch over and protect us? While we realize it is subjective and there are a wide variety of opinions about it there are also many who know it to be very true. I am one of the latter and I will share one of my many reasons with you in this article with a true experience from my youth. 

I was 5 years of age the first time I saw one of my angels. That's right, I said "one": of my angels. People can have more than one. As you remember from earlier articles I have shared, I was not sleeping well and spent a lot of time at night, awake, alone, and afraid. I was seeing and hearing many things at various times and spent most nights huddled in a corner under a blanket fearing what I might encounter at any given time. I struggled for many years with this fear as you know but by simple attrition I learned to employ methods for easing those fears. One such method occurred to me this very night. 

The Body

 

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net

 One of the most astounding events I have ever experienced took place in Sept. of 1994 while serving as a volunteer Firefighter in our borough. It was during this event I experienced some of the strongest sensations and loudest voice that I could remember in many years. This is a documented event and was covered in the media as well. I will now share this event for your consideration. This a true story in my own words. It is verifiable on the internet through news resources although I will not mention names or specifics out of respect to those who suffered a great loss during this tragedy. I would ask readers who may be familiar or remember this event to also keep that in mind if commenting on this article and thank you for that consideration. 

Lasting Impressions

 

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net

 When a person is thought to possess certain abilities people refer to it "being gifted". I can certainly see how it is thought to be a gift and used for good. I can also see how it can also be a curse at times as well. One such experience that I had when I was 5 years old left a lifelong impression that has remained with me vividly and affected a lot of my decisions in regards to strange experiences. I spent a lot of years in denial and fear choosing largely to try and ignore or hope it would go away. It was not until my later years in life that I decided to embrace and attempt to learn more about it. This experience I will share with you in this article is true. It began for me at a very young age and left a lasting impression. Imagine yourself being 5 years old and experiencing this. What impact might it have on you? What impression would it leave you with?

Feeling, Sensing, and Knowing....Empathy.

 

 

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

The very term "Empathic Psychic Medium" stirs our subjective thoughts and gives us pause. Empathy is to feel, sense and be very aware of the emotions, feelings, and even at times the motives of others. Everyone has at least some degree of empathy. I believe empathy to be a part of the human condition. How deep can a person's empathy really go? Can we really get to a point where we can indeed, see or feel and sense others? Would this include those on the spiritual existence? 

(Photo taken by Earl Foster) 

In last weeks article, I shared with you an experience of an "elderly gent" that I sensed in our home and what the outcome of that was. Now I submit with this weeks edition a photo taken by me the very night I met this elderly gent. The photo is unedited (except for adding the red circle to point out the face) and if you look closely at the left side corner of the window I zoomed in on you can see the face of the elderly gent peering in the window. The photo was taken at approx. 2:30 am in my kitchen. I assure you at the time the photo was taken there was no living person at the window. How did I get this image to appear one would wonder? My answer, in a word, empathy. I sensed him there, sensed some of his emotions and fears and I snapped a pic. I also believe at times those on the spiritual side of existence see us as well, or seem to also sense or know who will see or feel them. It is when that occurs we are given a small glimpse of something we rarely understand. Something that tells us there is indeed a spiritual side to our existence in spite of the human condition. 

Perhaps the next time you sense or feel something and aren't sure why you might consider empathy for what or who is around you. Somethings we truly cannot explain. I believe some of what we know or refer to as paranormal will never have complete definitive explanations. It just is and it just happens. Do the spirits really exist around us? Do they see us? Do some of us see or sense them at times? That's a lot to wonder about but I submit to you that yes, there are those who know. Your looking at an untouched, unenhanced, unedited photo taken by me at approx. 2:30 am, alone, in my home. You tell me?

It's Not Always About Us

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net 

 

(Photo: By Earl Foster "Face in the window") 
The subject of paranormal activity can be very subjective. Based upon who you talk with or who's opinion is being expressed you get a wide variety of thoughts. Certain circles even consider it taboo to even speak of it as if it has a stigma attached to it casting those who do attempt to gain understanding in an unacceptable light. A large part of understanding just about anything is of course acceptance. How can someone understand what they cannot accept? Acceptance is one large step in understanding anything but acceptance is difficult with so many distractions. 

We have all seen television shows with psychics making claims, or card readers, and fortune tellers. We cannot help but wonder how much of this is for television ratings, or money and fame? They act as if it’s something they can turn on or off with a switch. They overlook one important aspect of it in my opinion. "It’s not always about you". They take something spiritual, and make it about themselves. You know the ones I refer to, we have all seen it, or perhaps even met people like that. I have news for them.....It's not always about you. It has been my experience that it’s rarely about me. The largest part firstly depends on them. By "them" I of course mean spirits. They have their own reasons and purposes and it just so happens that sometimes we see, or hear or even sense it. 

One such true experience I share with you now for consideration. I sensed a presence in our home. I could only describe him as an elderly "Gent" at first. His presence was also confirmed by an outside source other than myself. I first realized his presence with some sense of fear and confusion. It felt as if he was trying to hide but knew that I sensed him there and was apprehensive of me. As time went on I sensed also that he was searching for something or someone. We later learned, and confirmed, there was indeed a "Gent" who passed away in our home, in 1967. He was nice man. He didn't believe in any of the paranormal or spiritual things in life, and was confused about why he was here. He was also looking for someone, I believe possibly his wife.

I attempted to communicate to him by expressing some thoughts aloud to him. I explained it as best I could understand and also told him that I believed who or what he was searching for was not here. I explained that I felt he knew where he had to go but was afraid to go there. I told him not to be afraid and to go search there as it held his answers and he already knew that. In a short amount of time I felt his presence was gone. He had indeed left to search elsewhere. I have not felt him here since that night. Sometimes it just something that simple and not about us at all, but more about them. While I admit this story would not make for great television show ratings nor would anyone be thinking their mind has just been blown, it’s not about that, it’s not about us always. While we may help, or be granted some small look, we must understand that we should not make it about ourselves.  Sometimes it may feel like it is but in truth many times it not about us at all.

Have you ever asked yourself "What Just Happened" ?

Have you ever asked yourself "What Just Happened" ?

 

By Earl Foster / CNBNews.net

The "human condition" as it is sometimes referred to always seems to make us look for the logical order of things. We look for logical explanations of things based on what is known to us, the familiar and comfortable reasons. Each of us has wondered at some point in time "What just happened" ? Sometimes we don't find a logical explanation. When this occurs we struggle with that age old question of "What just happened" ? Its a question I have also wrestled with many times throughout my life. I don't profess to be able to provide all the answers in regards to that question. My personal and true experiences have left me with more questions than answers. We only have those experiences to share as we attempt to learn more. Some experiences in life will always leave unanswered questions. I will share one such experience with you for your consideration. 

Light Source Paranormal

 

By Earl Foster/CNBNews.net

Everyone experiences unusual or seemingly unexplainable occurances at some time. Some choose to ignore it as coincidence. Others choose to find logical explanations but don't really find one. Others endeavor to explore further and seek answers. If your like me than you fall into this last category. I am Earl Foster and I seek to find answers in something that seems more spiritual then our physical selves. I seek answers and knowledge because I have had many unusual experiences and unexplainable occurances over the course of many years.     

    In future editions of this column I will share some of my experiences with you and I look forward to comments and input from those who are like minded and may have experiences of their own they want to share. I am sure there are many. My experiences (some witnessed or experienced by others) over the years include a check of our home by an outside source that included a psychic medium. This medium confirmed with no prior knowledge everything I suspected about our home and myself. Everything the medium "picked up" was exactly what I had picked up and had written down already but did not share with anyone. The medium who visited our home also helped me personally with some knowledge and education because until recently this is something I have struggled with for many years. It was revealed to me that I am an "empathic psychic medium" myself and these experiences are because I have been so since birth and that "door" is open. 

    In conclusion for this weeks column I leave you with this thought. If you have experienced something unusual, or that you cannot explain, or it frightened you perhaps, know that you're not alone. I think many people have experienced things or felt things, heard or seen things. Knowing that we are never alone in the human condition can be helpful.
