A very interesting thread. Despite my earlier post, which was joking in nature, I have found the ideas expressed here to be very good.
I express the "I get it all" moments as being something like the tuning of AM radio. Most of the time the signal is distorted to some degree, but
once in a while, it becomes completely clear. We are "in tune" with the cosmos.
If one accepts the idea of string theory, this becomes easier to understand. We, and our thoughts, are just organized patterns. On some occasions our
pattern vibrates at the same frequency as the rest of the Universe. We then, for a moment, are connected to every other level of resonating
patterns.
The trick is to learn to do this more often. This is one of the ideas of meditation. By clearing away the distracting resonances in our day to day
life, we reach a point where we "vibrate" on a level closer to the Cosmic Song.
But this is not mysticism, though it is often portrayed that way. If science is correct that there is an underlying resonance pattern to the very
fabric of reality, then when we achieve parity to it, we are really engaging the fabric of the Universe.
And if string theory is correct, our pattern could conceivably alter this fabric. This would go a long way towards explaining how many things
considered to be paranormal, are just the result of someone, or something, being in tune and influencing the Universe.
Yes, a thought provoking thread.
