Hmmm ... growing up I had a friend that completely believed his own lies. And if you were present for some memorable event, you couldn't convince him that his memory of that event was incorrect. I'm guessing he was missing that fold!
"Not So Fast: The study only shows that the PCS and reality monitoring are linked, not that the presence or absence of the PCS is what causes some people to be better than others at this sort of memory task. It could be that another factor in brain development causes both small PCS and poor reality monitoring, for instance." (from the article)
I think the "Not So Fast" section was my favorite part of the article. You rarely see these reminders that science is a work in progress in popular science reporting. Particularly with regards to medicine, too often I see too much hype over the results of a single unrepeated study.
Philosophers have long discussed material and ideal realms. There's the world as it is and the world as it appears. Anyone who has no spiritual experiences is a worthless peon. The movie American Beauty has a scene where a neighbor thought he saw a homosexual act, but it was a drug deal. Reality can depend on perspective. A radio show can draw-you-in by including a detail from your life.
If you are not confused you are like the 1984 proletariets.
Heaven is a delusional reality on top of regular reality.
I cannot help you understand, though.

So, my download numbers seem suspicious, after I've filtered them. And, I get no emails but FBI stoodges. Well, the whole media talks to me... surprise, surprise -- not in Kansas any longer, so no surprise my download numbers are bogus.

I'm kind-of in charge of my bogus reality. Bible says you will determine what sins are forgiven and what stand. Bible kinda promises governorship of a realm.

efore, during the modification of the
descendants of any one species, and during the incessant struggle of all
species to increase in numbers, the more diversified the descendants
become, the better will be their chance of success in the battle for life.
Thus the small differences distinguishing varieties of the same species,
steadily tend to increase, till they equal the greater differences between
species of the same genus, or even of distinct genera.
