---Actually I think your response makes my point since for you my description of my experience of unboundedbess changing"isn't really real,but really clever" while on the other hand I think my experience of unboundedness has changed in the way I described.However the way I described this change apparently doesn't make sense to you and therefore doesn't seem "real" to you.Which of course points out the difficulty if not the futility of trying to describe changes in the experience of conciousness.I think this is one of the reasons why its probably a good idea not to say too much about your expereinces.
