The curved tunneling effect, which I also liken to a
curved horn of oil with its wide mouth towards me,
that I observed during my sun stare of Sept. 5, 1991
could perhaps be likened to the tunnel that many people
have observed during near-death experiences.
Here is the description of the sun stare from my Salmon
on the Thorns mystic autobiography web page:
"I then began staring at the sun, a white throbbing disk, when
the time was not much more than two hours before sunset. Normally
I would have sneezed to avert the eyes, but this time did not.
(Luckily I did not have my -11/-10 diopter lenses on, so any
focus formed well off the retina.) Instead I stared intently
until it seemed that my entire being was extending out and calling
to the sun and even beyond, in some sort of tunneling effect, I
think a glimpse into higher dimensions, and sort of as if you
placed two mirrors facing one another and peeked inside, that
sort of curved tunneling (which also looked like a divine curved
horn of oil with its wide mouth towards me). I was caught up in
a powerful mystic experience. It was as if there was a higher
dimensional unfolding, as if the 3 dimensions tilted or dimpled
somehow and there was a wraparound effect, as if there were
giant butterfly wings folding in around me. I, a mere mortal,
grabbing at the skyhook, was then overloaded and blacked out for
an instant. I fell forward into the water and came to almost
immmediately, and with back arched and chest up floating as if
in the upward-facing-dog pose of the yoga sun salutation (inhaled
and chest up so I wouldn't drown). So that was sort of baptism by
nature in a way, and possibly extension to my higher dimensional form..."
I also liken this experience to Jesus's baptism, when the
heavens opened and wings descended, which I believe was
his anointing by the divine. Thus I am also a messiah
type, though I don't say that I am a messiah since I am
not Jewish and am also no longer Christian. Rather I
am a global figure with messages for people in all
religions and for atheists.
After the sun stare came my naked thorn hill climb, which
I liken to the crucifixion of Jesus, and my glowing sky
blue rose vision later that night. I relate the blue rose
to our blue planet Earth but some relate the blue rose
to Jesus's mother Mary or to Mary Magdalene.
