I had a lengthy, profound spiritual experience last night, with the aid of strong intoxicants, the #Undertale soundtrack, and a lengthy soak in a somewhat tepid bath. Trying to decide how much of it to relate (or, indeed, how much of it I _can_ relate.) It's frustrating to have what seem like deep insights at the time and then look back on them the next day and think, "Nah, it's not really that simple." :/

@kara_dreamer It is frustrating, there is something about the framing of the knowledge that isn't apparent in the context of times afterward.

@Filene I'm not sure how best to keep it all from slipping away

@kara_dreamer I don't trust myself to remember anything unless I've related it to myself for later. Audio, paper, my phone, printed notes, Google docs, I've used them all to keep track of things.

Entropy exists, so these things are gonna slip through the cracks to feed the universe's garbage memory collection. And no note will be perfect, but the moment will be remembered better, too.

Is that what you mean by slipping away? Mission creep can be like that, aka moving goalposts

@Filene @kara_dreamer part of the problem is that our deepest spiritual experiences tend to be highly nonverbal ones, and I (or one of us, anyway) gets fearful about _disturbing_ the experience. Possibly running an audio recorder would be the best way, assuming sufficient privacy (not always possible)

@kel @kara_dreamer Make sure to have a headset on, then, I've had hard times when I'm mumbling.

I don't know how to negotiate your problem. There's almost nothing that can capture the first time, since you don't know what's coming. Then, things can happen so fast, vague, but intense and precise. How is it possible to write or type it all? How can we not lose details moments after they've happened?

Maybe it's a lesson on grief. Entropy, the matrix universe's garbage collection, only hopes we can preserve enough of what happens. It seems like a large burden to have flashbacks of a vision upon your memory's demand.
