/me in hippy rant mode
Have you ever experienced a sense of wellbeing and belonging.....where your mind is relaxed and free of the here and now, the everyday mundanities in the background. With only what is important to you your only concern.
i have only felt such freedom of mind in the bush under the influence of mdma and psychadelic trance.

BOYAKASHA!A pattern has emerged from Professor Newberg's experiments. There is a small region
near the back of the brain that constantly calculates a person's spatial orientation, the
sense of where one's body ends and the world begins. During intense prayer or
meditation, and for unknown reasons, this region becomes a quiet oasis of inactivity.
"It creates a blurring of the self-other relationship," said Professor Newberg, an assistant
professor at the University of Pennsylvania whose work appears in Psychiatry Research:
Neuroimaging.
"If they go far enough, they have a complete dissolving of the self, a sense of union, a
sense of infinite spacelessness."
Professor Newberg and other scientists are finding that people's diverse devotional
traditions have a powerful biological reality. During intense meditation and prayer, the
brain and body experience signature changes, as yet poorly understood, that could yield
new insights into the religious experience.
