We cannot prove anything, but we can disprove things. Why try? Because the excitement in life is derived from learning new things and expanding our horizons. However, I do not believe this carries over to the "immaterial", something which, as I said before, is devoid of reason.

What you call an "apartment building" isn't really 'out there' somewhere. Your mind creates that illusion. It is really 'in there' somewhere - it is a part of yourself, the universe. The universe communicates with itself. This is called love.
No, this is called lunacy.

To "communicate", the car must talk back (that's what COmmunication is).

I agree, but the truth is not in dreams or fantasy. It is out there, and it EXISTS. It is. It does not have to be communicated with, it needs to be discovered and understood. All this philosophising and supernatural communication is what blinds many from the truth right around them.
