The Universe is pouring water from a infinitesimally-voluminous pitcher of water, just for you. How big a cup did you bring?
I met a gentleman by the name of Javier in my travels. We talk for four hours the first night we met. Shamanism, sacred geometry, psychedelics intended for use in ancient religious rite. This guy believes some very out-there some things. Wait. . . but I myself believe some very out-there things. But, I talk as an ignorant man. Ignorance, after all, is only the product of believing one knows all that they need to know, or therefore one who is closed to new information. I've always found myself a bit different than my peers (whether you consider my family, Mormons, or business associates), and I believe the main difference is this: I refuse to think inside the box. I am open to new ideas. And since my mind is not in the box, couldn't you say that my mind's ideas are indeed. . out there?? ;)
Now we didn't believe in everything the other had to report, but we did agree that more often than not, we were channeling spiritual truth. It was a great conversation, which continued as another African-American gentleman arrived at the work exchange, who had spiritual roots in voodoo and other similar healing arts. On my travels, I have had the opportunity to meet those outside the Church who claimed spiritual powers. Me and Javier acknowledged that there are forces of good and evil lending themselves to many people, according as they advertised their availability as a channel by their actions (do ill, invite negative energy into your life. Do good, invite positive energy into your life.). Some simply learn how to channel that energy more specifically. We also agreed -- and the spirit of truth seemed to accord -- that good (white magic) will always conquer evil (dark magic).
I have always been slow to shun powers and ideas outside of my understanding. With an open mind and enough mental exertion, one can extract the truth of what another says (as "out there" as they may be) and politely disregard the rest, not applying it to one's life. This world is just too exciting to limit oneself to the common or mundane. Excitement, spiritual renewal, mental stimulation, and touching experiences await at every corner! If God has made me to be free, why would I look down or settle for less? Gentle reader, the pitcher is indeed tilted, and water is cascading forth, even now. Is your vessel open??
