1. I saw a show on one of the science channels a while back...
A researcher (I think he was at U. of Guelph) was doing a study in which he put people into a room with no sound, light, etc.,
basically it was sensory deprivation. He then used a helmet with an electromagnet attached at a set location and angle to
induce a magnetic field in the area of the brain he was interested in.

What they found was that many of the people would begin to have some dreams (visions, dreams, not sure of a good way to actually describe it)
that could be compared to near death and out of body experiences. In essence the magnet could induce a sense of interacting with 'God'. It is hardwired in our brains. (I wonder if that is why zombies want to eat brains.)

To me this all makes sense. The Val-father, a being so great and beyond what we could ever comprehend, is dreaming. Our universe and the other universes are all part of the dream. As people in the dream, we are a part of the Val-father and that relation gives us a sense of
him/her even though we could never completely comprehend it. A cell in your toe has the DNA of the entire person that is you but is only a small part that could never comprehend you.


I think I'm rambling now - my fingers can't type what I'm thinking very well...
