Hello Flow. How nice of you to take the time to greet a new visitor. It is appreciated.
Hi ChristianMyst...
Interesting background there. I'm oriented more towards the scientific side of things and rigorous studies of these phenomena, and I also post regularly on another site which is pretty much populated by more technical types than I.
>> Although I have lead the way in certain fields of science I find after practical examination that science [follows] spirituality. It plays catch-up and has done so admirably as of late. Regardless, these accomplishments do tend to bolster ages-old explanations of the “greater mysteries.” For example, our great Einstein bolsters both the spiritual belief of energy being the significant substance of humans and reincarnation in his concepts that matter is energy and energy is matter – each transforming into the other. There is much science will not succeed at, however. Again, for example, science will not discover the location of concept of [thought] for it does not exist on this Plane of existence. To discover its proper locale would once again prove a spirituality concept, this one being that we exist on multiple Planes (or dimensions if you like.) Can science give us the answer or resolution for Pi? No, it can only approximate and will never be able to define or explain certain things [exactly.] Curiously, these self-defined and limited levels of accomplishment are called science, something the masses are led to presume are facts.
Yet all these problems have their answers in the higher mysteries of Spirituality. Curiously, the ancient wisdom does explain reality here as well as spiritually quite well, yet science can only explain itself, … well, up to a point. Without the exalted tools of imagination and intuition, unfortunately, people will always confine themselves to the box of a single physical existence with the extent of an observable and measurable Universe. The logic of a necessity to use the tools commensurate with a spiritual existence somehow escapes the many who define all [That] and all [This] from their own physical frame of reference.
Right now we're all coming to realizations, which I posited in writings sometime ago, that episodes depicted in ancient sacred writings are most likely best explained in terms of the post-modern sciences and technologies. I was an administrator at a large research university for a number of years and so I tend to look at what has historically been considered to be "mystical experience" and relate it to what I have experienced while assisting in readying and implementing science and technology for public consumption.
>> Of course they are. Such is the spiritual law that has always been associated with the degree of spiritual knowledge we are allowed. Everything phenomenal must lend itself to real-world interpretation. As science progresses, then greater understanding of the underlying mysteries of existence and consciousness will be released; although, a very vast amount is already in the hands of those very few people who care to investigate deeply enough.
And I should also note here that I've had my share of personal mystical experiences.
>> Good for you. The world would be a better place if others of your great caliber also could stand up and be counted. I know how difficult it is to reach a determination that something is happening that cannot be explained by conventional means.
Mystical, I would take, to simply mean “unknown.” All things, spiritual or scientific have been mystically understood before they have been explained from their respective schools of thought or science. Inevitably, though, the mysteries of the spiritual side, the actual [nature] of things and the Universe will always lie before us as we are of an ever expanding, ever growing, ever knowing consciousness. We will always have a greater knowing, but will remain relatively as far from knowing it all. Science shall as well provide the coach to carry the masses through the valleys of understanding.
Sometime ago I became convinced that the utilization of the new technologies would tend to transform people and condition them/us over time to accept more uncertainty and ambiguous circumstance in their/our lives. Now it seems clear that personal/collective instances of transcendence of the ordinary and transparent transformations into existence in parallel realities is occurring more often in people's lives (motion pictures, television, 2nd life, internet chat, virtual realities, online gaming, etc.)
>> Yes. It is clear to many more.
I am very interested in discussing these things with you since you have such a large exposure of experience in the alternative communities which are your constituencies.
>> And so we shall. But careful what you wish 
. I promise to understand my fields well, and will therefore, champion them vigurously. Not for my benefit, though, but so others can find the strength to listen to the thoughts and notions in their heads and through there senses that the world, we and the Universe is an ever unfolding mystery that we have an innate sense about, and therefore, experiences. I hope they will be brave, bold and confident as were you to express that there is more to life then is barcoded on or packages.
My belief is that some cross-fertilization is needed these days, but not much in this regard is happening except online. I'll be interested in what you might have to say about this.
>> Such is why I am on tour most of the year giving demonstrations, holding seminars and trainings and making new books and works available to those of the populace who already have a sense of there being more to reality than what physics can contain. It is kind of a waste of time trying to share broader views with those who are locked into their rigid, physically experienced sciences. But some transcend those limitations and their fewer numbers do reach out to online communities and tailored expositions to gain further insight and experience.
I can say a lot about the spiritual (not religion, but the Ancient Wisdom that is the source that religions may draw form in their unique, fashionable and limited ways) "Nature" behind things, the reality and explanations of psychic senses and their respective causes and effects, and interaction with a limited set of other human-like classes of life that develop parallel to ours in the more Ætheric substances, hence their relative invisibility to those not [trained] to see things more invisible than air, or otherwise inherently gifted; such to include Nature People (nature spirits), Angels, Devas, and Archangels, Elementals, Elemental Essences, Thought Forms, … even to Human spirit both in the Astral Body form and Mental Body, some Higher Consciousnesses but to include the Higher Self, and for a very few and select people, indications of a connection to life from other globes (to include the tell-tale signs and validation of such.)
Beyond that, I may be limited to realms of science myself, something I am as well somewhat versed in. It has its place. To some extent I read in your post you are endeavoring to explain, share or understand your sojourns to other Planes of Consciousness (or Existence,) or reality such that it may be.
I am open to whatever happens. My perview thus far suggests a moderately tame forum here. I hope we are not opening a Pandora's box.
