i seem to get your drift..so you are saying such states naturally occur and there could be more to it.. i now mostly channel the energy which seems to be running through me like a whirlpool into art and graphics..and i sincerely believe that there must be more to that, but i was never the religious kind though i did feed into my experience some of my own personal religious and cultural beliefs.. do you think there are beings on some other dimensions who are channeling info to humankind? or is just a fad? or am going nuts?
Honestly, I don't think there is a nice neat answer to your questions.
This is why I was suggesting being unattached to both ordinary and extraordinary states and experiences.
I have lived a life characterised by extraordinary experiences, and I spent a lot of time and energy trying to arrive at a unified theory to explain them, or a way to control or use them.
You can go loopy that way.
Without a doubt, the mind can 'receive' information which turns out to be 'correct', in ways which defy explanation. Some people, you and I included, have such experiences. From what I have observed, an attempt to understand and explain it is most likely to result in a complicated mental construct which is ultimately of no use to you or anyone else, and which can take you to the doorway of madness.
Accept what happens. Don't push the river. I know that that is not a very satisfying answer, but I have seen cases of people who cannot simply accept the extraordinary.
To put it very simply - you will probably never understand the nature of these experiences, and the idea that you should or could understand them doesn't turn out to be helpful.
Think of it like this - a sunrise is beautiful, and can have powerful emotional effects, but you will will never have an objective and satisfactory explanation as to why.
Just enjoy the sunrise, accept the extraordinary when it happens, and don't bend your head over how and why. You will be happier and more at ease that way.
