In February
1998, during a few days, I lived in an intuitive state. People were coming to me with problems and I would give them the right solution without an effort, not even thinking. I was writing stuff about the universe, numbers, solving paradoxes, etc. Stuff that didn't make much sense once I got out of this state. There were all kind of coincidences and synchronicities happening to me. There's even a reference letter from a buddhist temple in India that got mixed up in the mail and was delivered to me. It was written for an immigrant high priest living in another part of the city, Montreal, with an address similar to mine. All sort of things like that happened during 3 to 4 days. It all culminated with an astonishingly powerful out-of-body experience. Nothing like floating above your bed. I got out of my body at an exponentially accelerating speed in a burst of nothing but white light. Then the acceleration stopped suddenly and some kind of very loud and multidimensional Beethoven 9th symphony music surrounded my consciousness. I think it was Joy to the World. It's like the music was coming out of me and to me from all directions at the same time. I felt great joy and had a sense of complete redemption. It was like being a child in the arms of God. It may have lasted 30 seconds, then I opened my eyes and I was in my body again. After a few days, the intuitive state was gone but that experience changed me forever. From that moment I knew we are all one consciousness. That was not a belief anymore but a knowledge. I never experienced it again. Not even the intuitive state during the days preceding the light and music. And I went back to materialism. But somewhere within me I know. I know that even though I only got a glimpse of what a sustained altered state of counsciousness could lead to, people like tone3jaguar or lawlessline know exactly what they are talking about. In fact I envy them because they kept contact with their higher self and and I didn't. But I sure know what it's like. Although to be honnest, I also see the humor in it Swanny. I can read Blossom Goodchild, picture Stephen Tobolowsky in The Heart Attack episode from Seinfeld, and then I have a really good laugh.
