Former Beatle Paul McCartney has told a British newspaper he believes he once saw God during a psychedelic trip.

The 76-year-old star told The Sunday Times he was “humbled” by the experience.

He said that “it was huge. A massive wall that I couldn’t see the top of, and I was at the bottom. And anybody else would say it’s just the drug, the hallucination, but we felt we had seen a higher thing.” …

My sarcasm is so intelligent that people actually think I’m stupid. Did I say the Beatles were satanic? It was a joke back when they were popular (as mentioned to me). My grandad and I salvaged two old jukeboxes with a couple of first edition 45’s of the Beatles.

Damn

I’m sorry

When angels show up someone is leaving soon

No question about that

I knew someone who woke up at night and just like a movie angels were in the room

He told me and my mom....big smoker

Later my mom told me you know hes soon to die

And he did ....quick lung cancer

My wife sometimes dreams when people are going to die

Her mother

Buford Pusser whom they knew......

And her best friend last year.....she warned me

And two days later when I heard her squalling and she was running across our horse pasture towards me hysterical sobbing from the back porch I knew she’d just got word

The lady died in her sleep heart attack 48 hours after her dream

I told her please don’t tell me when it’s time

Again I’m sorry....life is hard sometimes

I sat rocking in my wood rocking chair feeling totally numb and very clearly heard her voice whisper in my ear, “Honey, I’m OK”.

That's wonderful.

One of the reasons I asked almost 10 years ago an old girlfriend passed away suddenly. At the funeral home her son asked me to pray for her. I promised myself to pray for her every day for the rest of my life and I have so far. Well a couple months after that she came to me in a dream, she had the biggest smile and the love I felt from her was off the charts.

There is no happy ending to a marriage. I hope you have found some solace, however, and also your girls. Are they married? Are you a granddad?

If Paul really saw him he’d be dead.

During some of Paul’s trips I am sure he saw a lot of things

G-d talked to me one time many years ago. He said, son get your face out of this toilet bowl, and never mix Jack Daniels and beer again.

Be careful on that Mackinac Straits bridge! Remember the Yugo that was blown over the side!

If McCartney truly saw God it would have killed him.

My young-ish wife who never got sick just diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, metasticized to liver, bones, lungs, etc. She grew up in a convent in Bombay. Prayers from anyone/everyone welcomed. And we are raising five of her grandkids.

God bless your wife, you and your family.

Medical treatments have progressed greatly since my wife was diagnosed in ‘78.

So between significantly advanced medicine and, more importantly, your faith in God/Christ will help you and your wife thru these challenging times.
