How have you realized a path to bliss, a glimpse beyond the ordinary?

Relaxed breathing calms me and places me in a natural flow. Pure music let's me remember past, profound emotions. Prayer sorts out the day and reassures me that, in the end, someone cares. My medicines demonstrate a miracle by allowing me to safely experience the deceptions of existence.

A path to bliss? Yes, I work for myself now and live a very private life. With rare exception, normal people drive me nuts.

I have no trouble with my enemies. But my god damn friends... they are the ones that keep me walking the floors at night.

I have found bliss (I'd call it contentment) through acceptance of things. I recommend reading Enchiridion by Epictetus (its available online).

What does any of this have to do with "exploring the supernatural"?

I try to empty my mind, but it keeps getting full of fellings, thoughts and ideas to point of overflow.
