Hey buddy, I've had crazy experiences on spice..mayb you've just never really met entities before..?
I've met genies and sprites, angels and demons.. I have a crazy experience shared with 5 mates where Ganesh floated on into the room and started interacting with one of us, not me. This was seen by all, one even proclaimed as he appeared, "Oy don't these fella's need passports" in suprise? This led me to research about the deity and find out what the "seal" was that he was riding on and flying around on..Turned out it was a rat and that explained the visions that appeared when it jumped into me and I had to run to the toilet and puked it out! My greed, monkeys playing with the keys to heaven, all that..
I've had shared experiences with someone to prompt me to research and find out it was Lakshmi who visited us at another time.
I've had an indigenous male with no cultural reference have shiva visit him and give him visions , ending with him trying to borrow one of the parties cameras to try and take a photo!
All this happened before I had any experience of eastern culture and has led a big appetite for understanding because there is now, to me, obviously more than the reality my mind creates.In fact I realise that my waking world is just that the reality created bu my mind, and it is the dreaming that is really real
I just do not understand the relativity of that reality yet, but realise that this waking life is comprised of that.
And please correct me if you think im wrong, i'm just sharing my experience and assimilation of that..
