I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background. On this day I got the three-part pattern shown below, which persisted through almost all of hundreds of consecutive photos.
This morning I had a dream in which there was a dialog very much like this:
Doctor: Why that almost makes me believe there's some kind of God.
Me: There's a better reason: the exact balance of the particle charges.
Doctor: What do you mean?
Me: I refer to the fact that the charge on every proton is the very precise opposite of the charge on every electron.
Doctor: But there's so much suffering.
Me: Maybe 99.9999999999% of the people in the universe have incredibly happy lives, and Earth is some rare exception, needed for some subtle reason we don't understand.
This short conversation in my dream managed to touch on two philosophical issues: cosmic fine-tuning and the problem of evil. The claim about the balance of the proton charge and the electron charge is scientifically correct. Such a balance is necessary for stable planets and the chemical reactions needed for living things. If the electron charges on a rock were not the exact opposite of the proton charges, and the rock were not electrically neutral, every time you picked up a rock you would be killed or painfully shocked by the excess electricity.
The ability of people to have dreams such as this is one of very many reasons I think human thought comes from a spirit or soul, and not from the brain. I refuse to believe that a sleeping brain could randomly produce content as scientifically and philosophically coherent as a dream like the one I had this morning.

Tonight I finished working on a schematic diagram using my computer, and I then immediately went to another room for a moment. When I came back to my computer, alone in my living room, I was very surprised by what I saw on my monitor. It was the visual I had used for my science fiction story "Immortal Survivor," a story I wrote almost five years ago. The visual (which you can see at the page here) contains the words "Immortal Survivor" and the phrase "one will win ETERNAL LIFE." The reason I was surprised was that I have absolutely no memory of loading the file for this visual today, which I had no reason at all to be loading today. I have no memory of having intentionally loaded such a file at any time after January 2016. I was not browsing through the folder where the file existed, so the loading cannot be explained by some inadvertent keystroke or mouse click.
Could this be some hint of human immortality caused by some unseen power?

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background. On this day I got (in almost all of hundreds of consecutive photos) orbs with triangular-shaped holes in their top right areas. Quite a few veil-like structures appeared nearby.
