I don't experience any of those things and even if I still do feel a bit of envy from time to time I also do realize that the absence of this particular gift could be a blessing in disguise.
I guess I have enough on my plate to deal with without having to be distracted by what's on the other side of the curtain. That said and even though from my conscious experience I can't relate to any of what sleeper's (and many other posters, who had similar experiences) saying, I still find it very interesting - even if, somewhat distracting - and I know it resonates with something in me deep down a part of me that I don't have yet access to. But I'm not struggling with it, I don't try to break the veil (couldn't anyway), I just absorb it like an information sponge, wherever it goes I don't know, but I absorb it as long as it feels right to me.
What a waste of time and money, my money and my time. My advice, if some weirdo stranger calls and tells you to write a book, tell him or her where to stick it

Yes, of course I agree about the "small stuff" as being the essential goal in life because then we can break out of our patterns which hold us back from being in the moment. I never made a big deal about the flash-point. I simply wanted to know what it is. I was questioning my experience. That is normal, too.
Rinpoche said not to "reject" those experiences, either. He said, (paraphrasing), enjoy the experience, don't attach to it, don't reject it, remain neutral - but don't be arrogant that you can see it. I wasn't trying to make a big deal out of seeing it, I was just questioning my reality, and since sleeper is here answering questions and hihorizon experienced it too, why not ask?
Knowing more about this phenomena has made me more aware, and at the end of my life, I might gravitate to the white ;-)

How does he get away with so many quotes? And I get points taken off if I had this many? And why isn't this thread in Skunk Works?

Does Milton choses us random? or just special people?
Have Milton ever posted in ATS?
Tell Milton to spare some time for me, I want to see cool places
