Heading says it all. Here’s the last four Q&A’s I’ve done at Allexperts.com, where I volunteer in several categories.

I love volunteering. It’s a great way to stay on top of a wide variety of issues and also to see what real people are concerned about (instead of just academics or New Agey publishers).

Psychology and Theology… where do they meet?

Recently I got a really interesting question at allexperts.com that was right up my alley. My Ph.D. was in psychology and religion, so when the questioner asked about theological vs. psychological problems, I was ready to roll. See the full question and answer here:

Paranormal Phenomena – mysterious hand print appears on leg

Another question and answer at allexperts.com, where I volunteer. This time, a questioner asks me what I think about a hand print that appeared on their leg.

This might sound strange, but it’s amazing how many questions I get like this. And the questioners almost always seem to be sane, rational people. Not just storytellers, wannabe fiction writers, or nuts.

Question – What Deity or Spiritual Being fits this physical description?

The other day I did another volunteer question at allexperts.com.

The Questioner said he’d had recurring dreams of a deity bathed in a whitey-blue light. Wondering if I had any clue as to what it was all about, the first thing that came to my mind was…

Psss. I just updated/expanded my answer. The new version should appear in a day or so…

Hinduism and ufos

Here’s another question and answer at allexperts.com. Basically the question is about those who believe they’ve been abducted by a UFO and whether or not their faith – in this case Hindu faith – saves them.

From my perspective the question isn’t entirely clear and could be interpreted to mean that (a) the Hindu faith ends the delusion of being abducted or (b) it ends an actual abduction.

Whatever the case, I got around it by using the word “believe” in my answer, published here:

It’s always nice when one of my volunteer answers at Allexperts.com gets published.

In this question, a man asks about recalling past lives during meditation and the idea of enlightenment.

Here’s a volunteer Q&A I did some time ago at AllExperts.com that lists some good links for those interested in the idea of ESP (now more voguish = Psi).

Here’s a recent Q&A at AllExperts.com about ghosts. Seems I’ve been getting a lot of these lately…

The topic of Ghosts and the paranormal seems to be hot right now. Maybe it’s a way to keep the winter blues away. Or maybe….

In any case, here’s another Q&A at AllExperts.com, where I really enjoy doing volunteer work:
