I had a blog all typed out... and then I went to submit it and it didn't go through.. and it didn't save either!
So this one will be short because I don't feel like typing it all over again.
Basically I just talked about how I find it interesting that people's minds can be programed to experience a "mystical experience" or some sort of lucid sleep.
I also talked about the "God Machine" mentioned in the reading. Here's a video that I found that sort of explains what happens >
