WE ARE ALL RECEIVERS...

 I think that we're all privy to what creative inspiration, or divine madness; or that kind of connection with something larger than ourselves...when it makes us feel like we understand the intelligence that runs throughout the universe that somehow has led to self organizing molecules that turn in to self-aware creatures, that then start to ponder their own origins...I think we've all been privy to a sensation that we are connected to something bigger and grandeur than we are, or that maybe perhaps we are a part of it. If we are a way for the cosmos to know itself then, the cosmos is speaking through us, so I do think that that that that, that we're all receivers in a way, and we can all "tap into that". 

 You know it's interesting, to borrow khalil gibran's words... 
"Sometimes it feels as though ideas, or feelings, or thoughts, or revelation comes through you, but not from you; and though they are with you yet they belong not to you." 

 Terrence Mckenna talks about psychedelic plants and how they excite globalization, and empower articulation. Which is just absolutely what it feels like when you're having a minute download. Which is the reason we use that metaphor... 

"OMG, man, I'm having a download!" 

 Revelatory ecstasy! Next it becomes a sense of revelation where you're putting the dots together in a way that you hadn't put them before, and it gives you a new aerial view; a new pattern that subsumes the previous paradigm. What ever that is? You know, hypo-mania, inspiration, divine interconnection; it makes us all, to an extent, receivers of insight, of knowledge, of intelligence.
