It’s no mystery that as the brainy part of our species (we’ll leave out Arkansas and Alabama on this statement, hahar) continues to explore the world of metaphysics and quantum mechanics, proof that “everything is connected” is becoming scientific fact. Crazy huh? So phrases like, “When it rains it pours,” and, “Be careful what you wish for,” are almost provable with a calculator and some formulas. I think on some intuitive level we all knew this, but who wants to be accountable for that bad date or staggering debt? It’s tough, but you DO get what you wish for… even when you’re wishing against it.

I myself am not a textbook religious person. Calling myself “spiritual” feels a little over-the-top. “Connected” feels more accurate. I shall explain.

Metaphors like heaven and hell our rather obvious once you start observing your lifestyle and emotional state. Our lack of understanding of what death is, and what actually happens after we shuffle off, is what scares us into joining a religion or cult. What is there REALLY to fear? Want to know if you’re going to hell or not? Want to know what really happens?

I had a dream a couple of months ago. It was probably the strangest dream I’ve ever had. Something happened to me, an accident of some kind, and I became comatose. My consciousness left my body and somehow joined a collective consciousness that embodied everything around us. It was a strange sensation – I felt I was everywhere – part of everything. It was warm. I felt connected to all the energies that bind the universe together. It was a constant state of warmth and progress.

Anyway, obviously I’m having a difficult time describing what I felt. Was it heaven? No. Was it hell? No. It was more than that – the universe isn’t so simple as “up” or “down.” Good or bad doesn’t register, there’s just this all encompassing energy that binds everyone and everything. It was an amazing sensation.

I woke up feeling relieved. I’ve been so afraid of the concept of death for a very long time. It was amazing how RIGHT that dream felt. When you die I believe your energy (or soul) returns to part of the binding collective consciousness that is our universe. Doesn’t that just make more sense logically and spiritually than going to some place with puffy clouds and a gate? Of course I can’t blame us for trying to find answers – we just don’t know for sure. I can’t say that what I feel here is fact, but it just feels right and stuff. Yeah.

I like burritos.

Anyway, the other day I had felt overwhelmed and I remembered that dream. I picked up a book “Key to the Law of Attraction” by Jack Canfield. After reading the first few pages I started e-mailing, calling, and texting people thanking them for being awesome to me and stuff. I didn’t get to everyone I wanted to get to. One person in particular I wanted to contact but I felt a bit anxious about talking to her after a couple years have passed – I think she already knows I’m grateful and hearing from me about this wouldn’t really do much good. So I’ll just say “Thanks again for everything – both you and your goofy dog” and leave it at that.

Well, that’s enough out of me. I think I’ll go back to working on Psychostick stuff again. Yay!
