Interesting take on your perception.

Be careful you dont get dizzy.
There are no problems. Did you forget that?

He made it abundantly clear. Healthy and unhealthy are invalid
judgments. There is the inflow and outflow of consciousness, one being
intellectual (discovery) the other he described as spiritual
(confirmational). Both streams interact and are neither healthy or
unhealthy.Relativity leads to 'absolute' withing the individual, but
in a state of consciousness. The mind, like the body , can then be
treated with the respect and kept in balance.
The mind projects "from" the now, and 'appears' to involve
'future'.Science has proven that for an image to form in the specific
brain cortex, takes time. Wonderful confirmation to the spiritual,
awesome discovery for the intellect.
His explanation of the validity of the treasure map was masterful,
given that most of the 'congregation' (and the unilty church) are
about future projection.
