Message in the clouds

I was an athiest for a long time. Up until this spring i suppose. Your experience is not entirely unique. a long time before i even ever began feeling spiritual in any way, i remember looking up the clouds (And bear in mind i was under the influence of anything, nor had used any mind altering substances at that point) a few years ago, and seeing an extremely detailed face/bust of a man. It was a very old man, wrinkles, long hair, scraggly beard. But the eyes were the most intense.. They looked cruel, angry, or perhaps filled with retribution. But at the same time, looking into those eyes, you saw understanding, compassion, and love for everything. It was so vivid. like a painting, and stood in the sky for several minutes before it distorted. I never thought much of it, but now i look back, and think "how could i not?".
Man, thats really far out that you had that experience. I definately believe you had a real moment connected with the universe.

I find it interesting how LSD and other psychedelics have led people to god. In the end, it gave me a sneak peak, but buddhism and meditation was what i was always looking for.. LSD is like being mayor for a day. You get to feel important, and sit in on the city meetings, and wear the suit. But in the end, it doesnt leave any impact, and the next day your back to your everyday life. Its all about trying to be THE mayor, not just having the one day experience (if you understand that metaphor) and.. keeping the same empathy, understanding and love you feel on psychedelics and living that state of being.

i had related to a buddha friend about a message written in the clouds and
he said i wrote it . well , no , i say i don't feel i'm so able but then again
how much power does it take to blow a little wind about . the cloud words
were perfect unto me , in the sky of us all the understanding was all
mine . so then , anywhichway , i can think god is small .

it did matter what i thought of the experience because the words
indicated an action , something to do . which i did . i started up
the old green bus and went north into the winter as far as i had gas
to go .

nothing bad happened .
