FAQ's
Q: Are you a Buddhist?
Technically, no. To be a Buddhist you have to take anywhere between 5-10 "precepts", and I can't in good faith vow not to kill things, specifically mosquitoes, flies, and some spiders. I'm also working on lust and intoxicants. :) I am a work in progress.
Q: Do you think your OBE's are real?
Yes, I do, but I'm always looking to prove this one way or the other. The card test that I have used several times is the best test I know of right now, and I've done very well on it.
A margarita, and a heightened mental state
There I am, drinking a margarita last night (celebrating Cinco de Mayo), and minding my own business, when a certain form of meditation (a certain mental state) spontaneously kicks in, and all I can think is "Oh no, not here." It's a very focused mental state, where my concentration is incredibly focused, much to the exclusion of the outer, physical world.
A Van Halen margarita drinking story
Apparently now I have a Van Halen drinking story, a margarita story anyway ... I don't remember much ... we were by a lake, there's a group of people, it's Eddie Jan Halen's birthday, and they ask me to tell a margarita story.
I hemmed and hawed, I couldn't remember it at the moment, I think I was starting to wake up, and I was going to tell this story tomorrow, at another gathering.
