You know what happens to me? I drive to work and listen to music and sing for about 25 minutes. And then I listen to more music on the van, usually Gregorian chant or Hildegard or Jonathan Goldman, for about 45 minutes. While on the van, I generally start to go into an altered state, i.e. my Inner Beloved comes to the fore, and I start thinking about things of a mystical nature.
By the time I get to work, my Inner Beloved is usually running the show - although not always, especially if I am having a crabby morning and/or I'm not feeling well. Anyway, after I go buy coffee and eggs in the company cafeteria, I sit down to write to you, often in this altered state - this state which makes me feel all mystically mushy!
Meanwhile, to respond to your e-mail from last night -
Regarding James Twyman's book about the extraordinary things people can do, you wrote: "And then I think, But these things are not possible.....are they?"
I think I experience something similar to what you do - a kind of cognitive dissonance, where it's hard to believe that people can do these amazing things, even as I seem to be doing some amazing things! I've had to expand my belief system around the "magical" things people can do. And still sometimes I have a hard time believing what people can do, even as I have a hard time believing what I have done. Sometimes I think I must have been dreaming or misremembering or that what I think happened really didn't happen.
