Ignatius of Loyala in his ~Spiritual Exercises~ instructs pupils
to undertake this eyewitness activity from within *this present*
life. Now there's a thought.
But yes I think your bullshit detector is working fine. :-

Why resist? There's bound to be - *everything* is supposed to
be recorded even I imagine TMR. :-

Amen.
