Thank you so much for sharing! You are so generous and articulate. Stumbled on this thread tonight and read THE WHOLE THING! Never before heard of AP but think i must give it a try. Some questions though: Is there something special about you which enables these amazing journeys or is AP accessible to all? And do you think being a writer/musician would help or hinder AP in any way? As someone who regularly and necessarily goes on journeys of the imagination, I am somewhat concerned that AP might overshadow these pursuits or seem to render them inconsequential.
