V you said they ARE real .. in what way are they real just to you as mine were very real to me ..
I think the distinction you made Pete a very insightful one.
You have to bring something back from that experience ..
I see these as all good things and they were GOOD ..
rendering them by very definition ... not transcendental in the actual meaning of the word.
Not all that helpful so I looked to see what else could help and came across this article kinda explaining how to do transcendental meditation, but not It also asserts that there exists a wealth of research on its effectiveness.1. Relating to a spiritual realm.

Now thats interesting .. is it notAny scientific theory must be able to account for all of the data. Dennett believes that there exists certain dream reports which the received view has failed to acknowledge and cannot account for. There exists anecdotal evidence that seems to suggest that dreams are concocted at the moment of waking, rather than experienced during sleep
www.iep.utm.edu/dreaming/#SH1aJung's evolutionary story of dreaming differs from Freud's. Whereas Freud understood dreams as using memory from the days preceding the dream (particularly the "day residue" of the day immediately leading up to the dream) and earlier childhood experiences, Jung thought the dream also worked with more distant material: the collective unconscious. The collective unconscious is where the ancestral memories of the species are stored and are common to all people. Some philosophers, such as Locke, had believed the mind is a blank slate. Jung believed that the collective unconscious underlies the psychology of all humans and is even identical across some different species. The collective unconscious is especially pronounced in dreaming where universal symbols are processed, known as the archetypes. The distinction between signs and symbols is an important one (Jung, 1968: p.3). Signs refer to what is already known, whereas symbols contain a multiplicity of meanings (Mathers, 2001: p.116). More, indeed, than can be captured, thereby always leaving an unknowable aspect, and hence always requiring further work to think about the dream, thereby hinting at future perspectives one may take toward oneself and one's dreams (Mathers, 2001: p.116).
A'int that the truth!!! I still love hot foods and peppers. Chili's, Jalapenos, tobasco sauce on steak and chops, lousiana red hot on just about everything. Pepper jam is so good. The sweetness of the jam against the spiciness of the pepper is just outstanding!!!Skyweir wrote: I used to love hot food, chillies, garlic .. now in moderation only .. the joys of ageing

Sadly when I indulge too much these days, I typically pay. Somehow, there are times when it comes out hotter than when it went in.
Yea, that's a real thing. It has yet to impact me, though synchronisticaly I am TODAY officially closer to 60 than 50, but happens to many, or most, eventually...I hope I'm one of the few it misses.SoulBiter wrote: Sadly when I indulge too much these days, I typically pay.

Sounds delishSoulBiter wrote:So far its not so bad I go out of my way to avoid certain foods that are spicy. I have learned however that if I eat a hamburger that is literally covered in hot jalepeno's, that there is no escaping the consequences. I did that recently. That burger was so frigging good. double stack of hot jack cheese, covered with yummy peppers. I paid for it but in this case it was worth it LOL.
