Meditation

Is better than any drug I have ever taken by tens of thousands of leagues beyond any idea I could possibly have thought was satisfaction. 

I just came out of a deep hour and a half experience and several things happened:

I couldn't hear my breathing and I didn't feel it either.  Breath was completely void.  I slowly left my body,  most of what happened is almost impossible to remember.  It was pure serenity is all I can tell you.  I had some things revealed to me that were troubling and lots of self repair was in order. 

After this portion however I got the craziest feeling I have ever gotten in my life,  I feel a hand pushing on my forehead.  I started to focus on the feeling and it was starting to get painful,  I felt my forehead right above my eyes but in the center being pried apart and it was like my brain was radiating out.  Then I felt a growing sensation which I would like to say is similar to an eye busting out of your head.  The pain started to get ridiculously unbearable and the eye was now boring into my head in this giant spiral.  I started trying to find ways to alleviate the pain,  first was maybe to look through this eye and see what was out there.  Nothing but strange things.  Then I felt like I walked around my head until I found a sort of tumor and I cut it out.  Then the pain went away,  I heard a sort of bell noise.  and slowly regained consciousness. 

All I can say is WOW!  Meditation is very, VERY powerful.  and this is coming from one of the biggest skeptics you can find.  My forehead still feels sore and my mind utterly fucked and dumbfounded.
Several of my fearful questions have been answered.
