		<description>Yeah the "overview effect" is what was earlier termed "cosmic consciousness" in the West.  When you go into true samadhi, as you sit in full-lotus with your body filled full of electromagnetic bliss -- the room starts spinning around you.

I had this happened to me and it totally freaked me out -- I even stopped practicing so my energy channels closed up.  Now thanks to this report back from about Edgar Mitchell I realize that my consciousness or spirit was actually spinning -- not the room.

My first feedback on this experience was when I "randomly" opened a Sri Chimnoy book at a used bookstore (just a day or so after the room kept spinning around me) and "randomly" was instantly at a page asking about this specific meditation experience.  Never have I before or after come across that description as a question.  Chimnoy just answered:

"oh that's just the cosmic energy" to whomever was having the room spin around them.

Well that wasn't a good enough answer for me so I read a book a day from then on looking for more answers.  Finally I came across Peter Kingsley's "In the Dark Places of Wisdom" book wherein he states that even the ancient Greeks knew that before true samadhi is entered a vortex is experienced.

By the way Nick -- Taoist Master Ni states not to sleep on your back at night because little dead spirit lights suck off your life force energy near your stomach.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;...How might the course of history be altered were we to send - for example - George W. Bush on a quick trip into space?&lt;/i&gt;

Well, that depends...

Does he have to RETURN? :-)

I'm kidding (sort of). I only wish we could experience that wonderful sense of epiphany, of oneness, if only for once in our lifetimes.</description>
