Nothing is ever off-topic here. Your observations are appreciated.
I put it this way: If you sense an 'otherness' that coexists with, or is superimposed on, this world of ours, then the game is over. You've won. You're home. You've realized as much as any human being on the planet will ever realize.
If after that, you feel the need to seek some esoteric and rarefied spiritual 'truth,' that's fine and dandy. You're still home, playing 'hide and seek' with yourself.
We all play the game to one extent or the other. The game is fun and apparently useful--otherwise why would we play it.
