Tough stuff- reminds me of the time that I proposed to someone on a rounding course, woke up the next day with that 'what the h*ll was I thinking?' feeling...*lol* As strong as spiritual experiences may be when approaching being fully established, one key that I learned to recognize is that before being fully established, such experiences can be overwhelmingly blissful, almost other-worldly. A good clue to recognize that the bliss is not fully integrated. A reminder too to be careful when 'under the influence' of such superpowered bliss... ------------------------ Yahoo!
