RE: Introduction: Step Right Up, Going Out of Wisdom Sale!
Welcome to Steemit @rycharde
Some interesting subjects, I'm particularly interested in out of body experiences. I look forward to seeing more from you
Thanks @gmuxx. I like writing about altered states and, without being flakey, there's some interesting research being done.
I had an out of body experience once, on the verge of death. Was very serene
I have in recent years discovered the benefits of meditation - it helps me sleep better. I wrote about it HERE if you are interested in reading
Thanks, I'll read it now. Just wanted to say that every time Pew Forum research this topic, they find a significant number of people have had a variety of altered states and experiences, but somehow our culture stops them from discussing such things outside the anonymity of a poll.
Thanks. There seems to be such a taboo about the subject in mainstream western culture. It seems bizarre to me as we are so obviously much more than our physical selves
I suspect the media and education are doing this with a purpose - to focus on the physical and material and medicalise any condition that dares to look outside such parameters. I live in SE Asia and many urban people here have also lost touch with the temples and head for the shopping malls - then complain about why they feel so sick.
I think you are right
