I agree with Vaj. Such things are not an uncommon occurrence these days, given all the rushed-to- market drugs and environmental pollutants that we are exposed to. I knew a guy who meditated and who had fairly-good-to-downright-flashy experiences in his meditations and out of them, but who then was diagnosed as having Hepatitis C. He had to go on chemotherapy, and it made him crazy as a loon, which *coexisted* with his otherwise normal and ongoing spiritual experiences. One of the people he met in the Hep C support group he was part of told the story of getting so crazy after the treat- ments that he got up one morning after what he thought had been a good night's sleep to find out that during the night he had gotten up and killed his dog. Scary stuff. As Vaj says, your story would be Movie Of The Week material, but it might also be valuable to many people who are experiencing such things and think- ing it's because they're really crazy.
