I've got a theory.

This theory, which is mine, is a theory.

And it goes like this:

Brontosaurs are thin at one end, thick in the midd--err, wait. That one's already been done :3

No, this is the theory.

Ok. So some of us, across the ages, have been having these really wicked mystical experiences. We stay up too late, or we die and have an NDE, or we take some really good drugs, or practice some intentional brain change techniques (like Meditation and Yoga), and then BAM!

We have...an experience.

Suddenly, our world is VERY DIFFERENT from what it was before.

Some of us may have 'talked' to Jesus. Some of us may have been with an angel. Some of us may have been aboard an alien spaceship. Some of us may have an entire book dictated to us. And so forth.

Now, some of you might have read my musings on the primitive circuits of the brain. That there seem to be 'sub-units' or 'sub-brains' or 'programs' within our neurology that have evolved to help us with reality.

One of them, the most primitive one, is developed in utero. It is the one that determines wether we think that life is very uncertain along a spectrum to very friendly.

Now, this circuit is very difficult to change. It makes sense...when it was very important to our survival, back in the 'old days', it would be suicide to have that circuit be able to be changed easily.

But it can be changed. Through mystical experiences.

There are other programs, each building upon the previous ones. If you want to see a list of them, you wouldn't go too wrong by going here http://www.futurehi.net/docs/8circuit.html

So, the earlier the circuit, the harder it is to change it.

So, people are having these mystical experiences...and being changed by them.

What I am wondering, is...how many people, after they have their first mystical experience, how many people still keep their wits aboot them and analyze what their experience could be? In that, instead of accepting totally what had happened ('I saw Jesus' or 'I saw an alien spacecraft'), be scientific aboot it?

I wonder.

Because then, I think, if they do analyze it...then maybe...perhaps...they can try out more of these experiences...and see what happens.

One day, talking with Visnu...the other day, talking with the Elders of Zion...another day, talking with Archangel Michael...and so forth. But always, trying not to attribute absolute reality to these experiences.

Perhaps THAT is what the 'rest of the world' already knows...and this little portion of the world is still discovering...perhaps not. Perhaps that is what the writers of the Bible intended when they wrote their atheistic masterpiece. Perhaps not.

I wonder...
