That's amasing Lallymac. I did a course about 25 years ago called Alpha Dynamics, and I am only just realising how profound it was, partly because of the guy leading it at the time. In it, even the biggest doubters and sceptics, (one was a reporter, 'planted' by the Adelaide Sunday Mail, who not far into the course felt so bad he revealed his motives, as did a Psychiatrist, also in league with him...I was a in two minds as well) all got a taste in varying degrees of the more vivid experience you describe. No one could refute the experience, because it was done in a way that the results were irrefutable... and dumbfounding. I rememeber full, front page headlines, something along the lines of 'Brain washing cult invades Adelaide'. And 'Alpha hoax cult fleeces victims'. Upon the course ending, when the 'plant' shed 'tears of joy' and both he and the Psychiatrist talked excitedly at the things they had experienced and discovered about themselves, I remember looking forward to the newspaper article. A tiny little paragraph was hidden away in the paper, where the Psychiatrist announced something like, 'as they used very basic methods of clinical Psychiatry, it posed no danger'.
You are brave to describe your incredible experience. I witnessed the ignorant, savage, personal attacks on the guy running the course in Adelaide, who was one of the most honest, trustworthy, intelligent and kind people I have met. He has since gone on to be very famous and successfull, and I don't name him out of respect, and as I don't feel it is my place to do so.
It is a reflection on our society, when for instance I have friends that trust me implicitly, and make a point of showing their respect toward me, whom if I were to reveal to some of the awesome experiences I have had, that have irrefutably shown me that there is much, much more to life than our mundane, or 'normal' world view suggests, would probably think that I had lost my mind, taken drugs, was in need of medical help, or just imagined it. As you say Lallymac, you 'know'. You are very fortunate. It's so ridiculous, even now, I can imagine those thinking, the poor guy has lost his mind.
