    I’ll return the honour, here you are:
  2. The fabric of the 10,000 things

    Wow, that’s wonderful. Reminds me of Alex Grey, e.g. this painting.
  3. Welcome to the forum. It is helpful to express worries; get some feedback, put them in perspective.

    @-ꦥꦏ꧀ ꦱꦠꦿꦶꦪꦺꦴ- knows lots about that. Hi Yoda. Welcome to the forum.
  16. Yes. I went through the same experience, “disconcerting as I believe myself to be this whole person”. Now, I have two legs to walk and two brain-halves to think - these are all part of my body. ‘ I ‘ am the awareness.
  17. This is part of my normal everyday awareness. I think it’s a very important ability to have. It is the exchange between my two brain-halves that enables me to change myself.
  18. Do people truly have free will?

    Are you the founder and only member of this faith? Is it connected with 天命 (tian1 ming4) Mandate of Heaven?
