    my experience was not a spiritual one, like CH, but one born out of terror then triumph.

    I was sitting at the top of the highest cliffs in Britain. The seabirds were so far below me that they looked like tiny little white dots, and dark shapes moved beneath the ocean, too big to be dolphins.
    It was a lovely day in St Kilda. Then the cloud came down. One second I was looking at a perfect view of the stacks and listening to the distant roar of the waves, next second I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, and all sound was muffled.
    If you have never been 100% disorientated whilst in a life threatening situation, you have never known terror like I felt it.
    Then when I got a grip of that, I knew that I had to use my brain to find a way off the crumbly cliff edge (wher two guys had died in previous years). I worked out a plan, it worked and I got back. for a coffee.

      Human minds are amazing things, and not just when the owner has taken drugs. If you've ever been in a serious accident, it's amazing how your senses get heightened right around the crucial moment. You start seeing in black and white instead of colour, and everything appears to slow down. It's almost as if your brain's operating at 10x normal speed and cutting out non-vital information, in an effort to help you try to find a way to avoid the inevitable.

          ...or, the weekend sometime in 1974 when I discovered wanking, I didn't believe my classmate Stewart Hamer when he told me what would happen if I tugged my todger, but by Christ I soon found out, my legs went!

          Never quite the same since....

            At last, something in this thread I can relate to.

                  Getting up just before dawn from my sleeping bag on the sand, then off on the back of a lorry with the orange Sahara sun on my face. Riding the same lorry in the moonlight, a long long way from the nearest computer, television, or even telephone (this was a long time ago), and thinking for the first time in my life that there was really nowhere I would rather be and nothing I would rather be doing. Seeing the Southern Cross from the desert and remembering the lyrics

                  When you see the Southern Cross
                  For the first time
                  You understand now
                  Why you came this way


                  I still understand why. Think I'll go over to the Thorn Tree for a browse....

                    I did think of putting that.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      I've had several mystical magical experiences with Monica Bellucci, Federica Pellegrini and other beautiful laydees but all have been abruptly ended by the bloody alarm clock.
