  1. When first experienced it was so powerful it felt as if I had each foot in a different world. It took a good while to integrate and I'm not sure if you ever fully do. Just thinking about it now, the same feeling opens up again. Like being a spirit in the material world. One thing for sure. The fear of death has fallen away. Or perhaps better to say, I know what happens when the body falls away.
  2. You're not alone on this. I call it a pristine state prior to the egoic identity.
  3. If that's what is known through direct experience than kudos to you my friend.
  4. The answer lies somewhere in between and that's all I can say about that. Edit: I say that because as soon as you try to figure it out, it goes away.
  5. Sooner or later it's all going to come your way. So, embrace it all when it does. Even suffering teaches a lesson to be learned.
  6. @Osaid I look out my window and there is a golden sunset. Each a cell of awareness. Collectively the whole.
  7. Bingo! Nice to breath a fresh air of Truth around here.
  8. "And he descended into Hell" The phrase "He descended into hell" in the Apostles' Creed refers to the time between Jesus' death and resurrection. This concept, called the Harrowing of Hell, suggests Jesus went to the realm of the dead during this period and brought salvation to souls waiting there. It's part of the creed's description of Jesus' suffering, death, and ultimate victory over death through his resurrection. @Davino What do you think of that? That's some heavy &h*t man. Did you experience anything like a Hall of Souls? Maybe you could have saved a few while you were there.
  9. My daughter is a schoolteacher in a rather underprivileged area. It seems a lot of her students could benefit from something such as meditation to help offset the turmoil of their current home life.
  10. A Buddhist monk sacrificing himself by fire in protest of the Viet Nam war.
  11. So, you agree with what I said in my original statement. *BTW- it was meant to be humorous. Should have added- My bad.
  12. Connecting sewage pipe together doesn't qualify someone as being a professional scatologist.
  13. A plumber can connect a bunch of sewage pipe together and not know shit.
  14. True understanding is a bit more nuanced than what the mind can handle.
