Everything is waves of energy in constant motion vibrating at different frequencies. We are interconnected fields of energy that appear as solid on this three dimensional planet. There is no separation except in our minds. Altered states of consciousness, in my experience, usually involve a sense of expansion and connection... and self realization which is a strange term because it seems more a sense of no self and being a part of all that is. It is a deep peace, a sense of well being, of being completely loved and supported. You realize your body is like the shell of a turtle. Your mind is a tool and when it is quiet deep inspiration bubbles up into your awareness. It is like tapping into a font of intelligence and wisdom. You don't want to leave that state of being and, depending on life circumstances, some don't and others do.
Carol I've had religious experiences and often profound, and I know all is not what it appears to be, but basically I reside in this material world where there is joy, and pain. I don't need to deny the evil that's here, nor let the good go unrecognized, and both are part of the material world I reside in.

In the world but not of the world.
True, and do often feel that way.
Well said. We are all electromagnetic beings in an electromagnetic universe. Consciousness is the real evolutionary force field.
