Thanks for breaking that up Infundibulum.

Brink, what a beautiful and moving life tale. I can't even begin to express how touched I was by your decision to share this very personal history.

This really got me, I have had the same experience with mushrooms, shortly after my Grandfather (for who I am named) passed, I was in a real life "movie" of nature explaining the circle of life to me...the energy is never destroyed, merely transformed.

To answer your question, yes, but think of it as less of a rending or breaking and more of the metamorphasis you allude to. It is not necessarily smooth or sharp or quick, but with this personal growth it does become possible to slip of the old, dusty coverings of the sleeping beings we once thought we were and emerge wide awake into the beautiful sea of matter and consciousness that flows all around us.

It's great to have you here at the Nexus, may you continue to grow and experience wonders...

peace
