Atoms and the distance between the protons and electrons. A lot of 'empty' space. The EMF acting as bonds, etc. But it made things seem like an illusion, chairs didn't seem solid. I'd read some of the Seth material such as The Nature of Personal Reality, so that influenced my filter on the information.

Reiterating this while going back to college again. I was driving along a lonely country road with miles ot see in all directions, comprehending that part of reality, was staggering. I was not unconscious of anything, I was handling a multitude of inputs at once. It was good.

Twas' as if I was flying through space, and I was, but it was much more than that. I'd taken college astronomy many years before as an elective, which the professor informed us the class only existed to fund the physics department, haha. So I have a little knowledge of the universe, but went onto other things more earthbound.

The only other time I had the knowledge of exceeding earthy restraint was in a prayer group led by a Quaker. We were to be quiet and contemplate as a group. As I did so, I experienced a sense of freedom from time and space, there are no other words to describe it, and incredible joy. That I believe is freedom, escaping this (consensus?) form of reality that seems so restrictive.

I guess any such subjective or personal states would be like getting high but I'm not into that. Each person can go their own way. Our consciousness, when we let it go into free fall to observe and then focus, is not really veiled. Just ignored. IMHO.

Hope I didn't mess up the science thread with woo!!

Don't pour filth into rivers,
Rivers are like the blood in our veins.
Don't pour filth into the air,
Air is the best thing that we can breathe.

NASA Wind Map

No music, but still mesmerizing to watch the flow of the air across our country.
