There are a few alright: Anaheim Lake, Telegraph Creek, Tatla Lake, Fosthall, Trout Lake, etc. in BC. :)

JLM is nestled right in between Okanagan Lake and Kalamalka Lake. He could not live in a more beautiful spot. Warm in the Okanagan in the summer but sure not like it is in places like Lillooet. I bet you are glad you don't live there JLM. Then again, you could be living somewhere cold like maybe - Edmonton??

Sorry, that has to utter nonsense. Can't be true. No proof. At least, none that a scientist could understand. Falls into the same category as all the other nonsense that has existed in one's imagination until science makes a new breakthrough "discovery." Then it magically moves from "nonsense" to "fact." You gotta' give those scientists time...they might catch up some day.
I don't know CB - I think you better talk to Cliff. He's had more than one experience and Cliff's been a friend for quite a number of years now. I believe what he has to say.

lmao Is that why you avoid my posts even when I am not calling you nasty, dirty, foul names like "silly"? roflmao

No, I avoid your posts because I don’t know when the torrent of personal insults, personal abuse, filth will break though and swamp all your posts (and you have called me some very filthy names in the past, I have had to report you many times, don’t try to deny it).

It is dismissed as hallucination, brought on by medications or by the process of losing consciousness.

Dismissing other people's experiences is just ignorant. Reality is subjective, not objective. That is where science fails (except Quantum physics and mechanics.) I have done enough hallucinogens to know the difference between subjective reality and imaginary hallucinations. I also know that the voices in a schizophrenics head are very real to them.

Btu that is the problem, isn’t it? If your reality and my reality is different, then what are we talking about? If you believe in afterlife and I don’t, the most I can say is that afterlife exists for you, but it doesn’t exist for me. That you have to worry about going to heaven or Hell, but I don’t.

It does sound absurd, but that is the inevitable conclusion when everybody ahs a different reality.

Scroll back to my posts on dimethyltriptamine, death, lab testing, dreams and life regurgitated.

lol Almost everytime we were near Vernon in the summer we'd go to Cousin's Bay. We used to go hiking to a little lake I think was called "Ravine Lake", too. What a wonderful area. I still get a chuckle out of "Kickwillie Loop".

The majority of people on this planet believe in reincarnation (which doesn't prove anything). It doesn't involve heavens or hells.

I seriously doubt that majority of people believe in reincarnation, Cliffy. Christians don’t believe in reincarnation, neither do Muslims (or Buddhists). I think that makes a majority of population in the world.

Weak and extremely exaggerated.
If you can't tell whether I called you a name or not when you read my posts, that's too bad. As it is, the practise tired itself out on me after you quit replying. And it isn't as if you haven't insulted people either, Mr. Pot. lol
BTW, "filthy names" seems to be pretty loose term with you, especially when you said I called you a filthy name when I said you were silly. lmao You even had Ron chuckling about that.

I think it has more to do with my showing you to be wrong so often. :D

What would "heaven" be if it wasn't some form of reincarnation? If Muslims didn't reincarnate, how do they collect their 72 virgins?

Oh, so do I, VI. I had my "tongue in cheek" on that post. I've had my own experiences and I have an open mind on many things that are not explainable by conventional science.

Where's that? The point between Cousins Bay and the main lake?
Mid point east side of the lake by boat.

Buddhists don't believe in reincarnation? Well now, that's an interesting "fact." I'll have to pass it on to the Buddhists I know that do believe in it. And I personally know quite a few of them. You're wrong. That statement is incorrect.

There are variations in the belief in reincarnation. The Hindu one is only one of them. Buddhists do believe in a form of reincarnation. The Dali Lama is something like the 14th reincarnation of the same entity. He stated back in the 80s that his next incarnation would be a North American aboriginal. Deligations of Tibetan Buddhists came to Canada and the US to forwarn the elders of many nations that they would be coming back to look for him/her when the Dali Lama dies.

Oh. That's on the west side of Cousins Bay I think. Towards Kalamalka Beach from Cousins Bay beach. Yeah, lotsa fun there. Used to have lots of fun leaping off the cliffs on the east side of Skaha Lake, too.
