Hi, When we respond to Jimmy's question (what's the longest OD event you have ever heard of?) with the answer, "Life" we may be shutting down the conversation a little.
It's true enough, I suppose, unless one considers the afterlife. I was once in an open space event that lasted eight days. After about day number four, it didn't feel like "life" at all. Things just got deeper and deeper. The 24 of us entered some sort of eerie zone where pre-cognition was an every-hour event, and rich, trusting connection on the spiritual plane seemed to be the only interpersonal currency. It was out of "control" by any conventional standards, and it was wonderful. It was punctuated, if that's the right by long, spontaneous, meditative silences. And songs would just break out. I'm sure none of us will ever have a time like that again. It took place at Findhorn, Scotland, in May, 1990.
