Seraphis1, one of my first 'experiences' was a very joyous one. I found myself climbing this wonderful tree-like extension of myself, like Jack in the Beanstalk, as perhaps you have said. It was fantastic, an amazing experience in every way. I tried to report it here, and I think people thought I was high on some drug. So, whatever floats your boat. I think it's great, that you had this experience.
I have not looked up the written version, under a different name here, but if I remember correctly, there were colors involved, like the strands were colorful and beautiful. It was not one cord, as some people describe. It was marvelous, and it was beyond joy ascending it.

Only myself, Dude and perhaps one or two others mentioned that the disc theory is still in a theory stage. I was the one who pondered whether or not it was a subcategorization by our minds which separated ourselves from merging more directly with God.
I take offense at your use of the word hostile. I would ask that you go back and read the posts carefully. You'll see I was impressed by Bruce's description of the disc and the experience but I raised by own issues for discussion.
Seraphis, you are following Bruce's personal example. For you, I assume it is a "known." I respect that, though I encourage you to seek your own individual answer too, as we all have an "interpreter" as Bruce puts it, and you may find your own spin or cosmology.
It is my way to question, investigate, bring in evidence that I know, and then put forward my own take on things. You'll see that on my hemisync comments from yesterday. You could casually say I was dismissive of hemisync if you didn't read carefully what was said. In fact I praised the prior work on it, but was disappointed that the scientific studies stopped short. (I actually use hemisync in meditation most every day).
So lighten up. If you think everyone on this board will sing the same tune, you would be looking less for a discussion forum, and more for a church of some kind.

Hi Matthew: Sorry I used the word hostile… I apologize. I should have respected the rights of others to question the disk theory. To clarify my position… “this piece of the overall puzzle of the Oversoul’s structural dynamics “is” a “known” to me, simply because I experienced the “filament”… and it is roughly as Bruce described except that in my case it came out the front of my chest through the Heart Chakra… I was pinned under at the root and couldn’t climb it… I tried! If I recall correctly Bruce’s filament came out his back… he seems to have been o.b.e. or using his consciousness separation technique to get separation and followed the filament back to the disk and encountered Snidely Whiplash… this is really all I know about it. My task at this point in time is to allow my Oversoul to retrieve me… to accomplish “escape velocity”… that is the long and the short of it.
