Hi SpiritImage - I was wondering what you meant by how do we come up with that stuff - lol. Do you mean literally, or was it a joke, or???
Well, both, sort of. Just the way words are brought into what's trying to be conveyed, like, "whirlwinds of diamonds washing ashore awakening the very soul to the floodgate called heaven that is the calm in the eye of the mind tornado", stuff like that. I don't ever think like that or write like that but I do read a lot of written text like it.
In short, I am trying to find 'me' again - which means a lot of alone time.
I think everyone needs to be alone, which is different than loneliness. I used to live alone for many past years. I meditate alone, and think alone. It's funny that it contradicts the spirit body as whole.
