Great stuff! I already knew a good amount of your story but this offered new and greater detail so it was great to get to know you better.
Loved the parts about religion, spirituality, cryptochrome, psychedelics, and past lives, for sure. @npub1756j6... sounds like he would enjoy my research as I avoid dogmatistic attachment to any given tradition, explore them all with open mind, avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and try my hardest to remain grounded in science to support my positions.
My research into near death experiences echoes what you said, that it's not just the panoramic life review. One experiences the domino effects of one's actions and this, I believe, is the single greatest force of karma there is. We are our own judge in that moment. If we horrify ourselves, we're going to want to "go back" and seek to rebalance the scales, so to speak, and make up for our missteps. The single most effective path to eliminating karmic debts is forgiveness and "letting it go" (but not necessarily forgetting).
Loved getting the recap of your spiritual experiences with meditation. It's been a while since we first talked about that. I believe kundalini awakening was how we first connected on X before you took the orange pill :) That was super helpful to me because I was still early in my exploration of how varied kundalini experiences can be. That seems like a lifetime ago lol. Since then I've stacked over 200 books and written over 200 pages.

Very interesting story about the Lake Meade canyon land areas.🤔
It sounds like I need to visit that place and have a look at the petroglyphs and see if anything stands out to me. I visited Cahokia Mounds with @npub15ymzg... a while ago and while it wasn't a petroglyph, I did notice some very interesting symbols on the tourist info signs that were distributed upon "Monk's Mound".
I wouldn't be shocked if the Lake Meade light experience was some kind of UAP event. The owl encounter may very well have been a confirmation of that as owls are technically "raptor" birds. Raptor and rapture are clearly related. Both consist of "Ra" and "pt" which suggests "opener of the light" or "sculptor of the light". My research has yielded cause to consider the idea that raptor birds are used by "higher beings" to warn or to affirm. I would consider that owl sighting to have been an affirmation of the light experience. My interpretation is that it was an anomalous experience caused by "higher beings" intended precisely to encourage all who experienced it to seek answers. Seeking truth is something they encourage with these types of events.
I got kicked off of Twitter because I got excited about my discovery of how sarcophagi were used in Egypt, created a thread, and then shared the link to that thread with a couple dozen friends via DMs. Twitter's algo flagged that as SPAM and declared me an "inauthentic user". Attempts to appeal the suspension never yielded anything other than automated responses, likely because I didn't pay for a blue check. It probably didn't help my case that I'd blocked a few hundred XRP accounts. 😅
@npub1v9rsz... thanks for the shout out brother. 🫂 Just earlier tonight, I mentioned our walk through Milwaukee where you and my college buddy's girlfriend set an example the world needed to witness.
Anik, I'm glad you mentioned the Steiner/Waldorf School. I was studying a table that relates the signs of the zodiac to, among other things, 7 year chunks of the human lifespan. It reminded me of what you taught me about how Steiner broke up the education process into three 7 year chunks. Lines up perfectly.
