You have Really said a lot here. But WHAT?
You say reason won't fit into this but then you want me (I think) to accept some strange ideas on reason?
You were manic? Well? That does not mean you cannot give a rational appraisal of your experience.
You said that forces were/are more apparent in that state. Of course, what you said was too vague to be understood--nevermind proven. I appreciate you are finding it impossible to convey something (perceived as esoteric) in mundane form.
And then I am forced to skip a bit (I wasn't able to find any anchor points) to your conclusion: "Only a lesson".
But aren't lessons given by teachers? And how did your experiences imply a teacher or teachers?? And is that "belief" direct?? OR is it deduced or intuited?
Feel free to PM me or not respond, if you wish. I am not against your experience, but it would be a waste of my life to merely shrug my shoulders and either find or deny a meaning in your sharing without any honest investigation. And I stress HONEST.
So if you just want validation, then that is already done! I see you, and I hear you. I respect your sincerity.
Maybe there is no rational path through those woods. You were trying to convey that, perhaps. In that case, all I can do is encourage you to throw stuff out there! So you have at least two approaches that both work...
"It couldn't possibly exist for more than one perceiver unless multiple individuals experienced it in unison. Of course it's perception, what isn't?
Solon, reason will not fit into this equation. It is a completely incomprehensible notion. Way too fantastic to really consider on a rational basis. So why mention it? Because it happened.
Was I manic? Yes. Are ' forces ' or even dimensional qualities, i.e. shamanic like underworld skills more apparent in that state? Yes. Do I have irrefutable physical, practical, evidence of enhanced psychic ability from a years earlier singular manic episode? Yes. Did that ability, in fact, travel and frighten the participants involved? Yes. Could I control it? No, it was a first and last experience - only a lesson." |
