Thank you for taking the time to read my post @mindhawk it's very much appreciated. And equally, thanks for the advice, to be honest I live a pretty much teetotal lifestyle these days and so any internal journeying that I do is done via meditation techniques.
I haven't heard of the novel but will certainly look out for it, I also think that there is a strong possibilty that airborn nanotech has been sprayed for a while now and thus many of us have been breathing it in. It's certainly scary stuff but we appear to live in an age where truth is stranger then fiction. Thanks again.
