Maybe but I don't think my true self has been around for anymore than 65 years, and I scarcely remember all of that. Is that just a working definition or do you have a reason to think so? I could grant you that a natural god arising in consciousness can be older than our modern conscious selves .. but always? Can't follow you there. Another difference in hunches I guess.

As would I if I'd had that same experience and didn't have the conceptual framework I do for making sense of it. I'm sure your experience is genuine and significant, but I don't think it supports all the conclusions you are drawing from it. Your choice to make though, as you should. But I'll leave you to wrestle with the lions if you enjoy that sort of sport. But I'm available by P.M. Have fun.
