Tir-Na-Blog

When one begins to peel away the layers of their mind when they are bored one night and have nothing better to do, you can create environments that fool you into feeling spiritual, euphoric, nostalgic, or pretty any way you would like. Many people interpret this as a vision, or some other type of legendary folklore, however it is my beleife that this is simply one of the mechanisms in our own mind at work. When you dig into your mind trying to figure out who you are, you mind might not have an answer, so it begins ramdomly throwing stimulus at you to see what you persue and what you discard, hopeing that you can discover what you like and what you don't about your own personality. I beleive that most of the confusion in today's youth could be easilly attributed to the under development of this mechanism.

Many religeous groups in the past have attempted to explore this idea, however they always apply their own templates of what the outcome should be, therefor forcing a certain type of influence on something that should be free to form on it's own. If somoene is more adept to technology then the amish would be detrimental to the development of this person, vice versa if someone was naturalistic and they were being influenced by a group of geeks, then this would be equally detrimental. It is my beleif that people should be free to explore this part of themselves on their own, with no outside influence, other then the support of their friends, familly, and loved ones.

I do not beleive that this particular part of our mind either contributes nor takes away from any spiritual belif system as it's something that our minds have developed to help us define who we are when we have completed the changes of puberty and growth. This is nothing more then a subconsious method of self-development and life-span evolution.
