I like the story of the buzz at 4. My earliest recollection of getting a sense of wonder was when my Mum bought me a Dinosaur book. On the bottom of every page was part of a scale starting with the primordial soup at the world's beginning, and on every page millions of years would pass, page after page and all you see is bacteria which finally gives rise to cells and the the earliest complex lifeforms which turn into animals with backbones. On the last two pages you get dinosaurs then mammals and finally on the penultimate inch you get mankind and then a city. That concept of deep time blew my 8 year old mind, and still does. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : Too bad you didn't get a buzz. I did many a time and it was not mood making. Of course I got a buzz as a 4 year contemplating infinity when I asked my mom how big was the universe. ;-) On 03/25/2014 10:20 AM, TurquoiseBee wrote: Gotta agree with Salyavin here -- no buzz whatsoever. I instructed hundreds of people, and thus did hundreds of pujas, and never felt a damned thing. I'm convinced that the "buzz" thing is mood-making and the placebo effect. The puja was the most interesting and deep of all of the experiences I had with TM. I am no mood maker, very far from it. But because you felt nothing during a puja you assert that anyone else who did is under some delusion, some mood making.
