HAHA! You are paying attention! I can't think of greater evidence of kindly genuineness. His Buddhism will likely be delayed into being discovered as an adult, as his mother is more secular than established, and without meaning to disparage her, she is a bit resistant to the philosophy. I suspect she would like to discard it all, as I have wanted with dogma of my youth. It flares sometimes, and she has had insight.
Son's maternal grandfather, who is much more devoted to a practice will likely influence him some this coming summer, as they intend to visit Thailand. I don't know enough about his stepfather other than I suspect he is completely secularized, and so son's ideas of anything are going to be strongly influenced by pop culture.
Between the bread crumbs I have left, and the jewels hidden in my library- maybe he will find something useful for his own journey.
I am not sure I trust my predictive mind enough to yet guide me into an answer to your UFO question. I have certainly invested time in that endeavor, before you formalized the question; synchronicity! So much of my life was rooted in past fears, some future fears, that i still struggle to stay in the present long enough to sense the direction of flow with the energies I have access to. You may appreciate the musical analogy, but there seems to be so much disharmony present today- I am not sure if this just the orchestra warming up before they hit that one note, or this is just one of those discordant numbers before that theme that runs through the hero's journey emerges and brings everything into harmony- rendering everything into making sense.
I keep thinking we're on the verge of disclosure. Maybe 2022. I certainly suspected sufficient change in the landscape that I have affiliated myself with organizations, like MUFON, thinking if something big were to happen, I could be poised to be helpful. I would seriously like to provide counseling for experiencers, whether that's abductions or NDEs... I read the article you link, which reminded me of some of the clients I most enjoyed working with, severe dissociative disorder (previously multiple personality) and schizophrenia in general. There is a range in the latter, where some seem to be able to sort the inner experience in real time, acknowledging it and able to stay present with you sufficiently to communicate their experience. I suppose I remain hopeful that there is a rational discourse that may relieve symptoms, or at least the anxiety that comes from dwelling on symptoms. Tinnitus is probably a poor example of what I am trying to articulate- if I focus on the noise, it bothers me, but if I focus on what I am doing- I get through the moment. The real trick is turning tinnitus into a symphony, or pleasure...
There are of course some, so steep in the experience that normal communication fails. The trick with trauma based is not time traveling, but inevitably someone will go there and it's just as real for them as the first experience...
Oh, I'm rambling. My inner voice, Loxy, said maybe not knowing is okay. Kind of like Christmas. Let's open the present when it's time. That's kind of comforting. Until then, the mystery is the key.
Did you ever notice, conversations are kind of like presents? You can unbox them for years and still find treasures.
