I don't say this lightly:

There's a very distinct line for me between empty groups of words that sound pretty and poetic, and language that consistently conveys something of power and substance while also being woven and used to paint a vivid picture in the mind.

You actually seem to grasp the difference, and you're right where you belong, in the latter.

I was actually intrigued and pulled in the entire time, and I fully understood the experiences to which you were referring. Oddly enough, I have never had an Aya experience, nor a psychedelic one, but what I have learned is there are many ways to have the kinds of experiences those things can catalyze, and I have had them.

I think the experience of Aya would likely only grant me another level of information for my soul and mind to use to heal myself with, but I actually believe that much of that healing needed (if not all), can be achieved through other means as well. That's the beauty of universal truth-- it demands to be known, so if we simply open our seeker wide enough, we can find it.

Thank you, Erika.
