I have been interested in the topics at hand for the better part of 12 years now. I know that's not long compared to some folks, but I would consider it a lifelong interest at this point. My fascination stems from the simply profound nature of the experiences in question obviously, but then also almost as much from the interdisciplinary nature of the study. At any rate, there is so much to say that I almost don't know what to say. Maybe I will see some of you at MAPS 2013.
