I wanna give you a hug right now for sharing that. You're a good man I can tell. During one of my most profound acid trips I came to the stunning realization that every person I've ever met in my life, was just a slightly different variation of "me", manifested under different circumstances, to different families and influenced by different experiences as they grew and matured.

I'll always remember the childlike wonder and powerful stunning experience it was to be mid conversation with another very good friend of mine (who was also tripping), as my mind suddenly "clicked", with the realization that my friend had some of the very same mannerisms, peculiar facial expressions and even expressed the same non verbal communication/social cues as another very close friend of mine who i hadn't talked to or seen in half a decade and was a thousand miles away and completely unrelated to this friend.

Yet in those moments, I was able to see how very much identical some of the very peculiar, unique mannerisms they shared. And with this profound realization triggered a lightning flash of other connecting thoughts that all led me to the very baffling realization that these similarities weren't coincidence and exclusive to these two random people in my life, but that so too it must be the case that I myself must exist as having the very same mannerisms and peculiar social cues as other people throughout the world.

And so the finality of these numerous rippling realizations led me to the truly bizarre implication that we are all in essence pieces originated from the same consciousness and that the idea of all of us humans being completely different and unable to get along is but an illusion generated by the human minds limitated ability to perceive such a grand pattern on such a large macroscopic scale.

This is what I believe the Bible truly meant when it claims that all of us are created in God's image.

Lol us hippies entertain some of the wildest thoughts don't we?
