The "higher power" is a different animal and should be addressed in the plural anyway by default. It might be the awareness that we are nothing but sheep headed for the slaughter bank, Gregor Ivanovich Gurdjieff was a brain spreading that kind of thought material back in the 1920's.
Gurdjieff believed that man lives his life in a form of sleep, and that higher levels of consciousness are possible. Sounds like simplistic wisdom - but it goes way deeper than one might expext.
If in fact higher levels of consciousness are possible and if the can be "reproduced" upon request we deal with a tool and vehicle of unheard proportions. It is like having access granted to ones own databank and programming.
Remember that in the early 70's this fellow named John Lilly wrote a book called "Programming and Metaprogramming the human Biocomputer"? I was able to get a copy though Amazon and needless to say, it can only be understood under the influence of mindaltering substances - however - to even go so far and claim that we can access our own databank is pretty darn bold and the true legacy of the folks that utilized the substance that we talk about in this thread.
