..of course oddly enough after doing that, they also guided me out unscathed.
Makes me wonder if it was showing off to me or something. Impossible to tell.

Inner Dialogue?
Mind Chatter?
Someone's Voice you Carry with you?
A Higher being?
Resonation of wireless communicaitons?
If you are good at meditation, and you can take yourself down into Theta, you can actually begin to hear cellphone/cordless phone/radio communications from the frequencies causing vibrations in your sinus cavities.

That's very interesting. I've been interested in meditation for a long long time, but recently my life has distracted me from the peace within myself, and I have fallen out of the habit. I need to get back into it..
I would like to see a video where they use those machines, whatever the hell they are, to view brain waves... while a monk is meditating. I bet it would be groundbreaking.

Electroencephelograph or eeg.
I have the book written by the guy that used eeg with his meditation students and monks.....
Interesting thing about monks is that they meditate so much that their waking consciousness always displays Alpha-Beta instead of just Alpha, (or something along those lines)

redgreenvines is where I stand.
I kinda wish people would stop forgetting that psychedelics make you hallucinate as in perceive things "that aren't there" because of fundamental changes in the way your brain is processing information.
Once I was contacted through a Pink Floyd song ("One of these days") by an extra-dimensional (female-ish) being who represented a larger collective of beings that needed my help to decode something hidden in this universe. True story, well I mean that's what I experienced for about seven seconds while laying on my bed listening to Pink Floyd. Oddly enough I can't remember if I was on anything, if I was it was a low dose of shrooms, which seems likely.
My point is that even though I had this very vivid experience I can see it for what it was, yes it would be interesting if some being actually did contact me through a Floyd riff, but being a rational person I decided it was more likely that I experienced something that made my mind believe I was being contacted, I was listening to music so it would make sense that basically my only input at the time would be the source and it was distinctly feminine because that's part of the experience I had (who knows maybe it's because whenever I used to lay in bed, this is when I lived with my parents, I would always expect to have my mother yelling at me any second).
I don't completely rule out the possibility of higher powers talking to you in your head and it is very romantic to think about. I actually developed this whole short story (it was originally to showcase a concept for my super awesome concept album I'm going to write...) about this experience, but I still don't think it is what actually happened. As a person who applies logic and tries to do so correctly I cannot deny the possibility of exterior beings or separate interior beings contacting you. Simply because I don't know everything, or very much even, but based on what I do know through reading and generally trying to keep myself educated about the brain (there have actually been very interesting strides taken in just the last few years in this area and our understanding of how it works is beginning to actually mature a bit) I would have to say that the most likely explanation is the one I gave or something similar.
I am not trying to shit on anyone's parade, or beliefs I just happen to believe that interpreting things in certain ways simply because they are more palatable or romantic is a major reason religion sucks so much. And it does no one any good. Believing the less likely explanation in the face of extreme ignorance seems very silly to me. The idea that if things can be explained correctly against what reason would tend to tell us and that we can actually comprehend those things well enough to describe them accurately seems like an arrogant assumption to me.
I am not the kind of person who denies spiritual experiences to do so would be foolish (because tons of people have them and they are real, in the sense that people have them that is) but I am always a fan of redefining the way we think about things in order to make more sense. I don't think that they are any less valuable viewed this way and the tendency of people to see them as less valuable when you take out the god is a symptom of people being simply attracted to the romanticism of it all rather than valuing the actual experience.
just my two cents.
