vervain13 | Well Slap Me Sideways To The Moon And Back

GOOD! I actually got some responses in a rather quick fashion! Amazing what a little expressed angst can do, eh? Now if only the rest of the weirdos like me will crawl out of the woodwork and readily admit that they too have/have had unusual experiences. Are we all so tied to the smallness of living in the mundane that we simply can't bear to accede that there may just be someting as close as our own breath which is wondrous beyond measure while simultaneously outside conventionally accepted perceptions of reality? *sigh* Ah well. Perhaps you are right, Mattieu. This situation was all too painfully a part of my childhood. When I naively told my teenage peers (from the church crowd) about my first conscious out-of-body experience, they quickly descended on me with extremely negative judgmentalism and condemnation. They assured me that such an experience was "sinful" and "not of the Lord." How foolish I was to think that anyone from such a group would even be remotely interested in these things. And so I learned to withdraw, thereby beginning the creation of a vast inner place which was inviolate from people who would seek to destroy it if they knew of its existence. It is one thing which has sustained me all these years. I honestly don't know why this has risen to the surface lately. Perhaps I am entering another growth phase which requires getting this out in the open for me to examine and evaluate as to its place in the scheme of things. We shall see.

Thanks for listening to me rant. Your comments or your silence are welcome at this point. I am approaching a place of inner quietude with my feelings about this.

Blessings and Light,

David
