Hi Norman,
Nice to have you here at GnH. I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to chat yet with you.
As for your forum topic...
First, I do not see how you could have offended anyone in any way...
I think many relate the term "transfiguration" to when Jesus ascended and becomes radiant on the mountain. However, I do understand what you are saying as well.
While I do not have that particular gift, but then again, have never explored that side of things to be honest; I have to agree with Tress when she said that no a lot of people have heard of it.
What I have seen over my time here as well as in other forums, are people who are either just learning about abilities; questioning situations that are happening; having a need to "belong" somewhere, etc. And, then there are those of us who have been around for a while actually working with gifts and I must also remind that each person has different strengths and weaknesses; levels of an ability. And then, there are folks who for their own reasons are drawn to the paranormal in interest. There is a great "melting pot" of souls here at GnH.
I would love to hear more on the subject from your perspective.
Hope you have a great evening and a fantastic tomorrow.
