I love the blending of mysticism and scientific inquiry in this essay. Looking into the interconnected fractals of the experience, one does note that everything is indeed entangled. I recall minding my best friend's apartment. I had slept on the couch next to a window. In the middle of the night, I awakened and gazed out of the window and felt an overwhelming sense of love and unity envelop me. I had no idea where it came from but it was profound and I never questioned it. Also concerts could induce me to feel this oneness with everything and everybody (no drugs involved). For me, the mystical is every bit as real as anything else in life. Whether or not scientists can figure it out is not important to me. I don't need any more proof than my own experiences. But I do appreciate that some scientists are curious about it. Thank you.
