One thing that has always struck me about "being there" through stilling the mind, ii how sounds appear to enter into your mind. As a child the "this is the BBC beep beep peep" would place me into a revelry, and sounds from a considerable distance away would come through to my conscience with a clarity that appeared to tune out the more local sounds.
Years later practising Zen meditation again sounds faint in the distance would spontaneously become tuned in with local sounds tuned out.
Another time under the influence of marijuana I found I could tune out the sound around me in a lively busy wine bar and listen to a conversation on the other side of the room. I had no particular interest in this conversation and only concentrated on the conversation when I noticed how clearly these people's voices were standing out so clearly in my consciousness.
Think I'll stick with the Bible. The Lord God created human beings in His image. He shows us what we need to know if we seek Him. Draw near to Him, & He will draw near to you.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." The truth is in the Bible, as much as has been given at this place and time.
Quantum physics is starting to agree with you. What a great time to be alive.
First there was the word, and the word was "God".
Wow. What a chat. Thank you for sharing.
I ponder all this in the light of My spiritual experience... I offer that here:
