Re (2): truth & dreams

Let me assure you, Eric...you ALWAYS give me food for thought.
When I hear or read about other people's religious experiences, I always feel slightly envious and/or despondent because I never have had any momentous encounters with God like others seem to have. Never understood why and, of course I don't brood about it because it is only one of a thousand things I don't understand about the mysterious nature of the Divine. As I mentioned, I think it might have to something to do with the cerebral nature of my personality and my inability to "let go" and thus go beyond thought. (Incidentally, on several occasions I sought help from a series of hypnotists to relieve my lifelong battle with insomnia and none of them could hypnotize me, even though I longed for it desperately) For whatever reason, my mind has a tight grip on my everyday awareness and refuses to give up control, even though I devoutly wish it would. Or do I? Whatever...I am sincerely grateful to have my nocturnal encounters with God, self-induced or not, although, of course, I would prefer for them not to be.
