   I awoke this morning with a sense that someone else was in the room, but my wife had already left for the fitness club. Up until now I've not been a very spiritual man, but I had a profound sense that something important was happening. I opened up my mind to the possibility that it was real and then it happened. Thoughts came into my head that I couldn't explain and they didn't appear to be my thoughts. The thoughts told me to play the lottery (which I haven't done in 10 years) with a certain set of numbers that I wrote down and that the winning should go to help feed the hungry.
   
   I have to be honest I'm a little afraid because nothing like this has ever happened to me before, should I play the lottery with these numbers?

                              Let's think about this. Rad man felt a presence. That presence told him the lottery numbers and to use the winnings to feed the poor. If it does pan out, whether it is 'the father' or not. Something was definitely there. That, in and of itself, would be incredibly interesting.

      If, for instance, you play the lottery and win,  will that "someone" exact payment from you later?
      Or if perhaps it's God,  then are you willing to entertain the notion that you might want to know Him since He's been such an awesome benefactor?

   Hey Rad Man. You know you're going to have to put those numbers to work, don't you. Who could resist the chance to help feed the hungry?
   
   I just hope you're not an impatient man who expects everything to happen now. Imagine if you buy a ticket using the numbers just once and miss out, but those winning numbers come up in a month's time. You'd be kicking yourself.
   
   I suggest you use the same numbers for, let's say, six weeks. Even if you don't get to win the big money and feed millions, you'll be brightening the day just a little for whoever does win the big bucks. lol. Good luck with them!

   ATM brings up an interesting point. Say you play and win. Considering the odds of winning normally, did that mean the cosmos cheated? Did it simply foretell the future or, more maliciously, manipulate the balls? Even if you used the money for good, would you have to suffer a measure of guilt that the fates favored you and cheated for you, over some innocent person who might have won with a random pick? And might have had plans to do good?

       This reads like one of those surveys an advertising agency conducts when they want to force people to give endorsements to a product. I don't like to think of God as a product, but that's how it reads. Not intentionally, I'm sure.
       
       I'm just wondering, Kathryn, are you saying that God is the only option in a spiritual or other-world sense? When John Edward appears on the television and delivers messages to people, and they say "Wow, that's exactly right. Nobody could have known that except my dead relative!" do you automatically say, "Gee that John Edward fellow is getting good messages from God!" or do you accept JE's explanation that he's speaking directly with the spirits of those who have passed over?
       
       I don't know the answers to life's great mysteries, but I am uncomfortable watching Rad Man or anyone else being forced into a corner. Particularly in a time that must be rather unsettling for him.
       
       I'm also left wondering why God would give winning lottery numberts to Rad Man of all people. I don't mean to offend Rad Man, but there are so many people praying every day for help to find the money to pay for an operation to save a life, or to save their home, etc. Why would God choose to speak directly with Rad Man and give him money instead of responding directly to someone who is suicidal and asking for a sign, for instance.
       
       If I was God I suspect I'd be feeling a little offended by the suggestion that I'd deem it more important to make a personal appearance to Rad Man to get a bunch of people on HP chatting, whilst ignoring my loyal followers. I suspect that true believers praying for help might also feel a tad disappointed.
       
       Your survey form seems a bit of a quantam leap. There's at least a few of us here who will be interested in watching Rad Man make the personal journey that takes him to his own conclusions. Seems a shame to deny him the space to ask, and find answer to, his own questions .

             Bit of a puzzle. Perhaps praying is not the key to success. Perhaps fearing God doesn't make one more worthy. Who knows? I don't.
             
             Certainly, in my experience, there's enough events that happen to people to indicate that there's something more than just 'nothing' when one dies, and more than just 'us' on a day to day basis. You have probably seen enough of my comments elsewhere to know that I am not a fan of churches, and I believe that organised religions have a lot to answer for. 
             
             Like most people, including you now by the look of it, I have questions and I am interested in finding answers. I think its just part of the journey, isn't it? Your journey has taken an interesting turn. That's a good thing!

             Don't compare anything to the big picture. It's always skewed and full of questions. Just ask yourself what you can do, with what you have been given. And, what conclusions you can come to with the knowledge and experience you have. Isn't one of the outcomes of constantly comparing and judging justification to back off from the best that we can do? Justification to negate our own unique conclusions?
             
             'The poor will always be among us'. If this statement is true, what do you do? We would be well advised to do as you have done. When given the opportunity to help, you did. It doesn't really matter what you make of it in the final analysis; you used an event you can't explain to do some good for another; instead of attempting to make it completely about yourself. You are already ahead of the game.

             You won $450. That's a lot more than a cent. Does that mean you were granted a miracle? That's pretty impressive if you were. Or are we to wonder if your Great Uncle Fred was passing you the numbers?

                Interesting, but I don't think the dead can communicate or watch us for that matter. Thinking so is just wishful thinking. And it could drive one a little crazy. I remember I was 8 or 9 when my grandmother past away. My parents tried to comfort us by saying she can still see us. This kind of freaked me out for a while as I felt like I had no privacy. I think, when your dead your dead.

                   That's not my kind of wishful thinking. With that sort of image in the back of my mind, I'd never have had a sex life, so I'd probably never have been a mother.

                Look for the most likely scenario. A voice in my head predicting the lottery numbers or me making this up to see when or if any believers would question the validity of my statement?

                         No, he lied. I'm not sure what purpose he thinks it served. His lie does not negate other perceptions of truth. He specifically stated he was waiting for believers to question the validity. So, he was expecting to be called a liar. This is an on line forum. Proof is impossible. He did post a ticket, but we have no idea where he lives and which lottery he played. All that has been accomplished here is that we now know rad man does not speak truth consistently. Good to know, but pointless. A percentage of trust in the authenticity of others drives these conversations. Trust was lost.

                            Emile, go back to the post where I posted the winning ticket. You'll notice I also posted a link to the winning numbers. I don't take kindly to being called a liar. Of course I was waiting for someone to call me a liar, who wouldn't when they make claims that they predicted the lottery.

                               I suppose knowing you lied to your follow hubbers is better than thinking you lied to yourself. I simply don't see the point served by the charade. You shared what was represented as a belief. Why would anyone check out your link when your initial claim of an entity in your room was so fantastical and couldn't be proven?
                               
                               Beliefs serve a purpose. Lies may be a subconscious part of them, but conscious lies about belief are not the same thing. Do you see the difference? Maybe what I see as the point you were attempting to make with the charade is not the one you were. What was your intended point?

                            So you think he lied?? If conducting an experiment to test a theory is a lie, then think about all of the possible lies that may have been told over the years. A hypothetical experiment conducted by one person does not qualify as a lie. In order for some experiments to be accurate, one must use a sterile field (in this case, a group of people that are unaware that they are part of an experiment) If he mentioned that he was conducting an experiment, the field would be tainted because we would have an idea of what he was looking for.
                            
                            Now the fact that he mentioned winning the lottery I can believe because he has mentioned it in other threads. It also could be real because of the fact that he gave a low amount of what his winnings were (which in itself is reasonable). If he's telling the truth, I applaud his winning and charitable spirit. If not, I applaud his ability to conduct an experiment making it reasonable enough that it likely might not be questioned

                            Hey Emile,
                            It saddens me to see you so offended by Rad Man's lie. I'm wondering if you were raised in a home where to lie was a major crime. My kids expect to be grounded for about six months if ever they lie to me or my husband, but I have taught them that lies are a part of life and they should be careful about where they place their trust.
                            
                            I wrote a hub about teaching my kids to lie as part of their self-defense strategy, and copped a hammering from a hubber who was very opposed to telling lies, so you are obviously not the only one who gets upset at the idea of anyone telling lies. But really, I don't think Rad Man caused any harm if he lied about winning money.
                            
                            As long as he didn't lie about giving cash to the food bank, of course. If he lied about that part, he's an awful, despicable, unforgivable scoundrel who deserves to be quarantined until we get evidence of his donation!!!!
                            Now you're in trouble, Rad Man!!

                               I can see how Emile might come to the conclusion she has, but I don't believe Rad to be a liar.  I think maybe there was a real desire to see how people would react if he told a story such as this.  I'm frankly stunned that more of the believers on HP didn't swarm to convert him immediately.  I expected half a dozen at least to post the Jesus prayer for him and invite him to church.
                               
                               I think, in essence, few people really give a shit.  If they did, might they not have contacted him privately to ask, or even asked publicly what was happening during his 're-evaluation' process?

                                  Good point. Few people actually care about Something good happening unless it's to them directly. They can speak of being happy for the person, but still think it should have been them. I wouldn't really have expected a whole lot of believers to jump in this thread because of the person posting it.
                                  
                                  It's funny sometimes though, a lot of believers could care less what an atheist (or some other believers) post in general except when the opinion doesn't line up with their own personal indoctrin- I mean beliefs

                      Where did I say I lied? Did you gauge I lied because you think that a lie is the most likely scenario.

                      Doesn't necessarily mean that he lied. Just that now he may be having a little bit of fun

                   Depends on where the focus is. For some (like me) it doesn't matter where the numbers came from. Heck, for all I know JM's pet invisible purple dragon Fluffy could have given them to you. But if the end result is a positive one, good for you.
                   
                   Then again, I think it's possible to hear voices in your head.. I hear them all the time.

                   Hi Rad Man,
                   I hope you have more tickets waiting to be drawn. Another big win is just what this thread needs right now. lol.
                   Here's my take on your comment:  "Look for the most likely scenario. A voice in my head predicting the lottery numbers or me making this up to see when or if any believers would question the validity of my statement?"
                   I'm still wondering if your Great Uncle Fred was passing you the numbers.  They had to come from somewhere ... because you did have a win. And if you didn't hear a voice, who cares? It just means we can all wonder if you're psychic!
                   That should keep the thread going for a while.

                      LTM, I like you!  You have a great sense of humor, and a great sense of just...letting people be who they are.

                         lol. Well, thank you, M2C. I feel sorry for anyone who has to get out of bed every morning without being confident they'll get at least one really good chuckle every day.

          I put those questions up up because I was very confused by his whole story.  I would like to think it was a miracle. Thats what I would like to think... but if he answered the questions for all of us to see, we could get a hint as to which direction he'll go.. Yes miracle. No, not a miracle.
          
          Just curious.

    ATM said I couldn't do it again so yesterday I bought another ticket. This time I got 5 numbers so it should be worth more.

       Oh, great, Rad Man, so you listen to ATM.
       And what did LTM tell you? Huh? Oh yes ... here's the quote ...
       "I just hope you're not an impatient man who expects everything to happen now. Imagine if you buy a ticket using the numbers just once and miss out, but those winning numbers come up in a month's time. You'd be kicking yourself. I suggest you use the same numbers for, let's say, six weeks."
       And it's been how many weeks??
       Now is the time I fall off my chair laughing!
       
       Time to draw conclusions from the most recent evidence presented. Either LongTimeMother is psychic ... or your lotto is really easy to win. In which case, buy me a ticket please.
       
       Oh, and while you're at it, perhaps it is time to check the family tree for a Great Uncle Fred. He might like a new headstone. lol.
