Well hi, way over here. I have read your posts on your life and find them interesting.
I have a suspicion that experiences such as you describe are uncommon to most folk and I think that that is by design.
I think that the separation, the veil if you will over this ''every day'' reality is essential for the reasons for our being here in the first place
to work out. That is if the greater reality impinged on this much more limited reality too much it the illusion of this place would just wash away and
all value of this realm would be lost.
I think that for some though, either by random chance or by design, experience things beyond what most of us are prepared to hear let alone
experience. I came to this assumption over have a life ago either because I found it to be true or because I feared going farther into the type of
experiences you account for experiencing. Maybe not so drastically.
When I was in my early 20s in the late 60s I experienced a number of ''aports'', objects appearing out of nowhere or dissapearing back. Most of this
was in concert with a Ouija board. During that time the board printed out an answer to why we were experiencing what we were experiencing and the
answer was that it was not for everyone, but only for me, Terry.
It described that the energy needed to manifest these ''miracles'' or events was dramatic and there was only enough to accomplish that which we
experienced. To manifest more could rip the fabric or rend the veil. I accepted that pretty much
So I quit the board and from then on let those experiences filter through to this world only when ''the other side'' deemed important for me as kind
of a paddle in the stream for small course corrections. Reminders now and then that this here really is an illusion. Either that or I really had been
going mad and to pursue it further would only increase my own delusions.
I posted that whole story here years ago. I think I titled it ''Nuts and Bolts'' A paranormal experience. However that thread seems to be gone now. I
have searched the list of my threads a number of times and not found record of it and searched the ATS search function through all the years and not
found it either.
With those experiences coupled with a number of other psychic experiences and what I termed ''spiritual experiences'' coupled with a few UFO sightings
I found myself on a cusp of effectively living a life in this reality or slipping off into a world of limitless mental activity that I feared could
take me away from sanity.
Soon after these experiences I found a group of people, or so I thought that I found them, when in reality they found me. Yep, a cult. The Moonies.
They spoke to much of my experiences and I joined up with them for 4 years. Only though a very excruciating struggle was I able to extract myself from
their clutches and begin again to try and lead my own life, rather than the life they proscribed. That's a whole other story right there K.
So even as I have not experienced the dramatic things you have I do have an inkling. From what I hear of our overall appreciation of our existence I
think that you have come through your own gauntlets and are thriving well. Again from reading your work here I do get a sense that your
''appreciation'' of where you find yourself to be reassuring.
It's my speculation that this illusion is, in a way, cracking open. More and more people are reaching stages of maturity that demand the level of
experience that you describe, experiences that challenge the course paradigms of this reality with tastes of our much larger experiences to come. I
await them as they open to but no longer seek them out, much that is.
And just as I will not go on writing here forever, I do want to comment on something I read in your posts here somewhere. You mentioned that the only
thing that does not exist is,,,,nothing.
I've got that. Back years ago I used to write much like you seem to be writing in Boy Blue. At one point, a point that lasted for a couple of years, I
wrote a poem about nothingness. I still remember it today. Kind of. ''The Nothing that is not even not, seems to be a threat to our minds. I wrote
that as I stood on the brink, the threshold of existence, on the cusp of all that is and all I could seen was more and more and more and I knew that
that brink, that edge that threshold was only my own mind shuddering back from the indescribable totality of all. Only all.
Ok for now K. I need to pull back and put my feet on the ground. How about another limerick
There once was a young man named Loyd
Who had a great fear of the void
Once he shuddered in thought
of the Naught that is not
Now he lives in the all, overjoyed.
Yes sir. That one just popped out of my head in under two minutes.
