Sorry but I am gonna ramble... I have hit the half century mark in October-Scorpio...I am honest to a fault-I hope. I love the topic of philosophy, shamanism and buddism,hinduism-mystical worlds. I am a Yogi. I have been an OBE'er since I was a little tyke and never knew what was happening until around 15 years ago-astral and/or lucid dreamland...I would love to be able to stay in the half sleep state at will. Shiva is my God because he is Bliss! Yes, I am a bliss chaser, I reckon-I would be further along had I not given into karma-and thought I needed back surgery... was it for the drugs???I was not patient on the path. I have been known for my heart and compassion; mixed in with a temper and ego to match. I took up for the under dogs. I was a sometimes stoner linebacker, even Team captain in HS-a fence straddler if you will- I was friends with the school band drummer/pot dealer- but could take it or leave it-until life got me down-then party all the time...Oh, I am a former Army Officer, after vietnam had ended-lucky I guess... FYI-I am from an evangelical area, in which my parents did not participate until old age. PS-philosophy will definitely be a interest here along with any other OBE types.
Welcome to the forums, brother. Good to see another philosopher here with us. May the Path before you always be tread firm. Little Hawk
