A revealing and relevant conversation. Thank you.

Heartened by the exploration of mysticism. That’s how you get Meister Echart, that how you get St. Teresa Of Avila. Amazed by openness to the paranormal (I’ve never experienced that) altered states, psychedelics etc. don’t forget the anomaly hypo/mania. Lowell and a gaggle of other creatives suffered from yet were gifted by their “ mental illness” Mushrooms will save the 🌎 😉☺️ I love the Clark Kent/Superman analogy! Wish I had him as a professor when I was in school

WOW......................I have been a fish out of water here in the USA for my ENTIRE life and I am now 63 years young. And as the Piscean era makes way for the Aquarian era................the fish on dry land is learning to swim in the Aquarian currents that are tearing apart the old paradigm exponentially. I have been traditionally educated but never found my home here in 3D reality because it is a horizontal education of what has come before....rinse and repeat stupidity making no room for the newly incarnated who are equipped to desire a better way.....................and clearly it is not working. I spent my childhood in perplexed horror as I listened to my supposed superiors and elders speak of our race as being evolved. We are a warring planet and barbaric at best. My true home is in the vertical education I receive from beyond this reality. Those many many experiences have served as the catalyst to learn and reeducate myself in accordance to a synchronistic syllabus that I am SURE is not coming form this worn out tired horizontal plane of his/herstory. It at times has been a very lonely journey. But has always lead me back to the greats.......ya know, the ones ridiculed for coloring out of the lines. For me, there is no other way to exist. It is schizophrenia in a good sense of the world to live in this world but to know you are not of it. I have a degree in Biology and Chemistry from the early 80's and could never find my place in either.........................I am now grateful for that as I have followed the beat of my own drum and I commend the scientists and scholars who are brave enough to walk away from old paradigm acceptance and peer reviews and jumping through the hoops of façade to receive funding.....etc. It will take several generations to bring about this change. We are the trail blazers and must not get caught up in the severe disappointments of literally living in a lie our entire lives. The kingdom of God lives within. It is entirely an inside job and it takes great courage to die out from this world and be prepared to enter the world within. As Jung stated: Jung writes from his deepest personal encounter with his soul in The Red Book, “The knowledge of death came to me that night… I went into the inner death and saw that outer dying is better than inner death. And, I decided to die outside and live within… I turned away and sought the place of the inner life.”
