when you or anyone is having a wonderful time, at a sonic youth concert for instance,mwhne they just kicked into Inhuman, you are living in the moment, not analyzing what just hapened, but instead epxriencing everything at the speed of our neurons, which is just short of light speed, almost infi nitessimally instantaneous.

oh yes this is true. i have also had such religious feelings at sonic youth shows. I believe the point of mystic teaching and the purpose of experiencing the actual present moment, is because the actual present moment is this eternity, this after-life, which we all seek in one way or another. I think we differ here however, in our defining of death. I see death as fully an illusion, where as, you seem to be explaining death as a drawn out process of eternity. interesting, where we intersect though.
