Of course, there are some important differences too.
For example, unlike John, I've never used illicit drugs. I never was a hippie. I've never destroyed myself physically or mentally. I've never dropped out of school halfway. I've never needed psychotherapy. I've never suffered from youthful laziness. Most definitely, my parents have never said that I've wasted my life.
Oh, I feel much better now. John and I are very different, after all. Phew.
Also, like the majority of human beings on this planet, I actually live in the east, not the west. Therefore while eastern mysticism may seem very mystical to John, it is quite ordinary and not very mystical to me.
I find quantum physics and Wiccan witchcraft much more mystifying, actually. All those insane white witches and quantum physicists from the West, I love them all! And we mustn't forget dear, unique Americans like Esther Hicks (who brought us Abraham) and
Jane Roberts (who brought us Seth).
