ummm... its bilocution I suggest moving the page to what its really called anyone want to second the motion?
- Actually, according to Google, it's not bilocution at all. I'm changing it back in the text. --Jemiller226 20:36, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
- etymologically speaking, bilocution would be the talent of speaking out of both sides of an issue. ;) Freder1ck 00:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)Freder1ck
[edit] Astral projection
Previously, this article included astral projection as a synonym for bilocation. The definition provided here, however, asserted that bilocation is physical, whereas the definition for astral projection states that phenomenon is spiritual or metaphysical. In addition to this difference in denotation, many differences in connotation exist. For instance astral projection is usually active, and thus associated with being magical, whereas bilocation is usually passive, and thus associated with being miraculous. I'll clarify what I mean by magical and miraculous, since the distinction is not necessarily obvious, and perhaps open to contention: miraculous refers to that which happens through the will of a deity, even through the inspired actions of a mortal; magical (as I mean it, anyway) refers to that which happens through the will of a mortal, even if assisted by a deity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.185.96.57 (talk) 16:55, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] encyclopedia?
In an encyclopedia, can we accept stamentents without any proof, any source, any reliability as the following? "Another story involves a religious sister (nun) appearing to Native Americans in the American west." If so, I can sell you the Trevi Fountain: I am the son of the owner!
- Are you disagreeing with the statement that the story exists? The entry makes no claim regarding the story's veracity.
- Clearly the story exists, because it appears here. It would be good to have some source for its prior existence. --Townmouse 00:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC) (not either of the previous 2 editors)
Something doesn't have to be true to be in wikipedia. The phrase exists and the stories about the phenomona exist, and that sufficient for a page to exist.
Sources now added.
