OMG, you are good looking too, although you look young enough to be my son. So weird how we see people online when we are communicating through words and then see a picture of that person. I saw your face as older because your communication skills are excellent, except when you talk in the Frank Bacon Mason Illuminate code, then I see you in that Frank Bacon outfit...hahaha
We have similar stories, we both walked through fire and came out with only singed hair...hahaha
I learned my energy channels by scanning the body through the SN Goenka vipassana system when I was going to lots of retreats I could manipulate the body systems with my mind. The satipatthana course takes you through the internal parts of the body instead of just scanning the surface.
I can't smoke pot or eat it, all my sense doors open up and I get overwhelmed with too much sense data, and that was the pot back in the 1970s. I hate the stuff, but I don't judge, everyone reacts differently.
Bless you! I turned 45 yesterday : )
