Them's not true mystical experiences. What we do with it varies per person. It comes as phenomenal for mainly sensory experiences and noumenal for transcendental. Zen has it before and after eat rice, wash bowl. After an ME comes what's next for breakfast. It's only in India that one can make a living off it. Hebrew has it every rabbe has to earn his own living, which chops off all dependency rackets, eh. Ditto for Sufis. The problem is ego problems and tradition has it destroying ego usually arrives last. I have not told you about my physical doings, making jewellery, being an optician and all that, paua shell cutter, handyman, taxi driver, etc. I'm also the best unjoiner of clubs, groups, trendies etc. Genius is never tranced, at least not that I know and in the sense of channeling. Most of what you see on internet is cons, very smart with trendy labels. Aldous Huxley used to get so absorbed while writing that he was not in touch with his body.
"""The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of true religion." - Albert Einstein Water melts and freezes between - & + 4 C, so the Icecream would likely not start until +4 after which its momentum leap it lowers to closer zero. Apart from that milk is sticky stuff. I used to watchice forming while a kid in the Netherlands. It starts off at certain points, then spreads from those centers into sheets, thickeing after that. So pehaps because icecream comes in lumps it might behave differently?? adrian archytas wrote: > I quite liked the kind of chemistry in which you looked up past > results (so as not to repeat or be able to repeat) and then used a few > equations to try to grasp what shapes might be in possible contact > with each other and how you might get more of the contacts you wanted > and produce some new compound.
