$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Opies', 'I') could be wrong, but I believe according to current quantum theory, we are the product of non-cancellation. That is to say that millions of realities theoretically could exist, but they cancel each other out like 2 opposing electrons with opposite spins, or anti-matter obliterating matter. We are the remainder in the universal equation which is attempting to balance itself out... or something to that effect.

I've had mystic experiences since 14 years old, a visit of a deva (angel) before a dark night of the soul.

at 21 I started experiencing jhannas on meditation and had a kundalini awakening... but it stoped abruptly due to external (psychiatric) forces which I'm about to leave in less than a year.

I still experience jhannas and harmonize all chakras... but now it's mostly arupa-jhannas or the 4th jhanna... and consciousness without feature or pure awareness meditation.

I have developed the third eye, but not so "shinny", I can read easily other human's auras and minds (not thoughts, more like the essence of the soul... but it takes some time).

I will try astral travel when the psychiatric prescription ends. Haven't decided if I will cut the silver thread if I am on an astral travel.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Kaj', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('lawnchair', 'T')he only thing I do not feel is scientifically explainable is why there is something and not nothing. Thus, I call myself a deist. But, I do not believe this little corner of the decillion+ cubic light years of existence is uniquely connected to that Creator, and I have seen nothing within that creation cannot be rationally explained.

Thanks for all the input. The poll answers seem to validate my hypothesis so far. Many conscious and critical people profess to have experienced something supernatural or trancendental, which I think is quite intriguing.

I also suspect that after the PO catastrophe has destroyed the financial basis of the educational system and academia, which so far have been the bastions of naturalistic thought, religions and mystical worldviews will flourish again, especially as people see little hope in their daily lives.

Great R&R with some herb, a very mystical and spiritual experience for me.

I can hardly wait until the next Religious service. Rush - May 22.
