Obviously everything we know says that this shouldn't be able to happen, but then I think about some of the crazy things I've seen dedicated practitioners of meditation perform (like (

This is a different order of things altogether ffs.

Obviiously I know it can't be true and isn't real - but when I think of how cold water, tepid water, warm water, and hot water all come out of my bathroom taps, I have to believe in the staggering potential of my plumbing, and it's not difficult to accept the remote but real possibility that if I turn the knobs just so pure gasoline will flow freely into my bath!
Hatred.

That's a nice picture, and a perfect example of what I am trying to convey. Positive and negative form. They compliment eachother and both are equally valid, yet we are focusing on the form that makes most sense to us- but together they form the total image we are seeing.

Burning flesh??

Yes, in this case burning flesh. Imagine pouring plaster into a footprint
to make a negative cast of it. There's a negative form surrounding everything, but nothing is completely solid is it? So it also goes inside everything through its irregularities and such. My thinking is as follows: If one is making oneself aware of the totality of everything through for example meditation a chemical reaction might occur that will benefit each individal component and the whole as well.

Ah, spiritual mysticism. Refreshingly vague, very little theoretical ground or empirical evidence to stand on.
Wrong place, wrong time, witherflower.

I liked the plaster cast analogy, though--reminded me of Bigfoot.
...and that long night in Paris, tantalizing the Yeti with a French prostitute's left nipple while sipping champagne through a straw and pondering something about wheat.
Wheat.
Wheat.
Wheat.
