RE: The Effects Of Looping...Or am I loopy?

        I'm saying it is "indeed a physical phenomena."  What is time?  
What is
reality?  We know from A. Einstein, may he rest in peace, even if we don't
fully understand, that time is different whether you're standing still or
moving at very fast speeds.  Just what does it mean to move "close to the
speed of light"?  Can't our spirits fly out at the speed of light and come
back?  I've heard too many stories about people who die and float away from
their bodies, listen to conversations going on in other rooms, etc., and
come back to their bodies because it's "not their time."  I've also heard
too many folkloric stories about holy or otherwise blessed men who "leave
their bodies" and travel to other places, whatever.  I hold that when we
loop and get attuned to this dimensional door, we actually enter another
level of existence and therefore time is physically different for us during
those periods.  You can wait as long as you want for "science" to catch up
and offer some "real" proof for this, but my experience is good enough for
me.  I hold that your experience ought to be good enough for you.  We at
Loopers' Delight know what I'm talking about — the "zone," "trance,"
"meditation," whatever you want to call it.  When we come to, we know we've
been gone and have just come back.  I've known for a long time that looping
is more than just trying to exploit the most I can from my cheap and
not-so-cheap electronic equipment, that music is more than mere organized
sounds.
        And tea helps, especially when spiked with something.  Somebody 
just
mentioned the drugs, good old drugs.  Our minds (spirits) are more than 
mere
brains flashing biochemical signals.  The sum of the molecules doesn't add
up to the product.  Some of us loopers are here only part time.  OK, back 
to
looping.

  | Hey, now are you saying it is a PHYSICAL effect or a preceived effect?
