Question Two, Miguel.
[ Can you describe events in your life when you've had either or both? ] Yes. That did not take long to answer did it :- ) Or would you like a longer answer with more detail maybe :- ) But I could ask as to either or both of what exactly? But irrespective of what you were getting at precisely, I can describe my experiences in life in fine grain detail, whether they be mystical ones, psychic ones, normal daily life experiences it is all the same and easy enough you just tell it is it happened, what you found, what it revealed, what effects it has on one, the implications if any, how one feels about it all, so on and so forth. No problem. True, if somebody asked me to describe the whole of the events of any one football game which I saw as a kid then I could not do that for I cannot even remember all that detail, or even most of the games I watched. But, you know what I mean. Oh by the way, Prose or Verse tis all the same to me, so I do it in either. But I do not do it in verse on demand, it just has to come that way if and when. Throughout life I must have had a couple of dozen psychic experiences, I do not talk and write about them much for I find them boring to talk and write about, albeit that they reveal some interesting things about what the psyche can do and construct and project. I have only had what could be called two WHAM-BANG deeply profound Mystical experiences. One Introverted (transcendent) and one Extroverted type (Local). It is hard to say exactly how many mini-mystical experiences I have had. The first one I can remember was when I was about three or four and running across a bombsite in London during the war. That one is in the book. I have had quite a few at various odd times here and there throughout life. But this also brings us to the interesting point about as to how much all daily life becomes itself a min-mystical experience after a good dosing in all these things :- ) I dunno, in all truth, to me these days, and for a long time now, the whole of life and every experience seems that it could fall into the category of all being something of a mini-mystical experience :- ) The mundane and the extraordinary just kind of melting into one thing LIFE and living it. Tis good. Some years ago I had a close personal relationship for two or three weeks with some bird the two wigged type :- ) A Ring Necked Dove who came and adopted me by landing on my head and insisted on coming home to live with for a while. So he did. Man, that was a weird, wacky and wonderful experience during normal every day working life. They all used to come from around where we live to watch this git and I playing together whilst I was trying to work : -))) Gawd help us, it used to fight with me, and also sit on my head and just make happy cooing noises. Oh I did miss that little critter when he found a Lady friend and buggered off. I told him to go for it anyway :- ) Well it seemed to understand, for it looked at me whist sitting on my lap and then went for it. But they did come back and visit on and off for the remainder of the time I lived there. Oh that was fun. The bird became known as LovyDove. Fantastic relationship we had. I loved it and it seemingly loved me. What more could want eh. A bit like with the cats and dogs too, but that tends to me more normal. So they say. But to me now, well waking up in the morning and all that comes along is a kind of mysterious wonder and mini-mystical experience now. But this is to do with the effect and our BEING IN THE WORLD. A good friend of mine wrote a fantastic document you ought to read about this and the stages one goes through. You can find it in the file sections of my chat group lists. It is called The Exceptional Human Experience Process: A Preliminary Model with Exploratory Map. Everybody should read this and digest it all. But what does it all amount to in simple everyday terms? Well, when I was a little boy everything was wonderful, mysterious and a great exciting adventure. By the time I was twenty four I had read a lot, done a lot, seen a lot, thought a lot, discussed a lot, and I assumed I had learned a lot, and it was all becoming rather mundane and predictable, and I was in charge of everything. Then one day ZAP !!! It is like life grabs you by the short and curlies, or strictly speaking by the consciousness, and whisks you around in the heights and depths of all creation, and then says, there you go sunshine, chew the bones out of that lot !!! And from that day on it was no longer ever mundane and predictable and it all started to become mysterious again. But now that I am near on seventy? Well, it seems I do not really understand anything any more, tis all a mystery. I enjoy the tip, do what I can do and don't do what I cannot do. That does not ask too much of a guy does it. I am thankful that I was born with a fantastic and weird sense of humour, and which has never faded away one jot. I think having this lot without a sense of humour to go with it one might go nuts :- )) Well, I hope that has gone some way in answering your question which was a wee bit nebulous by the way :- ) Tell me if I have not got what you meant by the question however. But can I describe personal experiences? Well, I guess well enough anyway. Folks seem to get my drift well enough, and that is all communication is for is it not. These things do not have to be spoken or written about, but if you do, then do the best you can, and wave the rest. So, for me at least, these events took place from about the age of three up until today. Tomorrow? Who knows; I will think about that tomorrow :- ) Grab the day whilst it is here, for it will never ever ever ever come back again. It is a cosmological ONE-OFF, and albeit that we may have many days.
