At the time that I felt the connection, I was walking somewhere to do a job and I felt a circle with triangle in it and a triangle with circle in it alternate in my mind. At the time I thought the alternations were of my own creation, caused by a sort of concern that the two might be confused, but I don't know for sure from where those alternations came because I was distracted at the time. But whether the circle or the triangle is inside the other, I think the result is pretty good.
Why can't you say it was spot on instead of pretty good the reason being I sensed that you, you did not decide that what you would present me, was a circle inside a triangle or a circle with a triangle inside it.
It was not 50% correct it was a 100% correct a lot closer than pretty good don't you thnk?
That is why I said it was it was a triangle with a circle inside of it or the reverse because this is what was going on in your mind!
You
were spot on. I am not one to overly congratulate or praise men. For me to say something is "pretty good" is quite a compliment. I am Australian remember. We understate achievements; we make light of them. But yes, in this instance I could certainly have said you were spot on. And I do expect the confusion/ambiguity in the communication was mine. You certainly described exactly what was in my mind - the circle and triangle with their alternating as to which was inside the other. Your statement and what you saw is correct.
To others: Consider the odds, the number of possible variables that I could have drawn: A square within a circle, a circle in a square, a cross within and circle, a cross within a square, a heart within a circle, a pentagram within a triangle, a triangle within a square, an oval within a rectangle, ... etc.
Although Alan has voiced disagreement with me on the subject of out of body excursions and of what I have termed an oversoul, I do not disagree with anything that I have read of Alan's. There are different ways and means of leaving the body; some better and safer than others. For my own part, nowadays, I generally only leave during prayer, and not of my own initiative but mostly only if I am taken. I usually don't seek it; it just occurs. It happened to John on Patmos too, also to some Old Testament writers who reported they were taken in spirit. I think it can happen to anyone if the conditions in their life and psyche are accommodating to it. Forcing it though, in unhealthy ways, like anything that is unhealthily forced, can be counter productive. Also, there is always a "part" of me that remains behind. The body is not vacated in the usual sense of the word. I usually remain conscious of the body. It is usually a sort of stretched out or extended consciousness. Also, I understand fundamental and abstract thought and concepts, and how they come together, blend and graduate. Despite any seeming differences, I have no disagreement with Alan. Neither am I bothered by Alan's blunt words and assertions. He is a man I admire.
I have not read Justine the queen's posts above, but I bet the pretentious prick is feigning holier-than-though standards and trying to belittle Alan.
