> And looking back, I have noticed on a number of occasions, pondering on how to manage various physical world situations, and after hours or days discovering a simple and obvious arrangement, and being surprised that it took so long to uncover such an obvious path forward.
So, hopefully there is much beyond the mind.
This is something we all experience in our lives. It's part of being human.

In my dreaming last night I was with some humanoids. At one stage I asked one how intelligent I was compared with him.
Without hesitation he said: 9%
This morning I remembered long ago when I was in a spiritual community and getting a bit of flak from the members about my thoughts, I was told in meditation: Any specialness that you might have, does not exist in the mind.

In the last few months, quite often when I start to meditate, an inner friend will show up and say "Come along! Hurry up!"
So I hurry along and often will be confronted with what appears to be a portal - and through I go. Sometimes the portal goes to one other place, and occasionally the "tunnel of light" has various junctions as if it were a system of interconnected portals.
When I get to the other end I have a dim vision of the place/planet and the people. Mostly I have to figure out where I am (if I can) but one time the location was pushed into my mind.
This morning after the portal there was another portal where I arrived and when I went into that I arrived in circular room with white smooth surfaces. The guys seemed to want to upgrade my energy system - so I delayed them while I checked them out. They were pretty impressive so let them do what they wanted.
My energy system clearly changed - but now back in my human body, the changes are not so obvious - but the nature spirits close to my little backyard each seems to have a line of golden light connecting to me.
