I've had experiences that seemed mystical and at times I thought they were, but I'm a deeply unspiritual person now and as soon as someone tells me they are spiritual I can't help but feel a twinge of rage for some reason.
Last night I watched celebrity big brother and gary busey told a story about his dad's spirit once flew through him followed by patrick swayzee's spirit, and it just made me grind my teeth in anger that the people listening to him say these things in person were almost DEFINITELY thinking "HAHAHAHAHA FUCK OFF WITH THIS BULLSHIT" but they had to say things along the lines of "Hmmmm, was that a pleasant experience?" Out of politeness.
But anyway the things I've done that I used to think might have a bit of mysticalness to them were taking acid, mushrooms and ecstasy, these days I think no, it was just my brain on a load of drugs.
Another time was once I got a book out on ghosts when I was young and a part of it was about outerbody experiences and the book told you how to be positioned in a way best suited to have an outerbody experience and I did it with my cousins stood outside the room, I felt this slow rippling sensation along my spine which was really weird and I got goosebumps all over, I didn't wait to see what happened next though because I just shot out of bed and ran away. That could have been anything, people get shivers randomly all the time, I was young at the time and believed in ghosts but even then I wasn't convinced what had happened was anything spiritual.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
