The alternative

[nordin dk 0]

I spend the last three days, basically in a drunken haze, as I was on what is in Denmark referred to as a "Rustur".

This is a traditional trip you'd take with the people you are about to start studying with.

Our trip was 3Ë days in cabin somewhere, very social stuff, practical information, a few short lectures, mostly entertaining, practical info about the program etc.

And for some reason....constant drinking.

During these 3 days, I had two encounters that were of an extraordinary kind. The first was with the most gorgeus girl, but you guys don't deserve any of the details on that story.

You'll only spoil the perfect beauty of it

Anyway, this (extremely hot) girl left on the second day, so on the third day of our tour (yesterday), I started talking alot to another girl, and boy was she weird!!

She was engulfed in a totally alternative lifestyle.

Meaning spiritual stuf...healing, crystals, auras, reincarnation etc.

The first time I saw her, she was lying in her bed with a sort of weird copperspiral on her head, apparently the spiral contained water, and she claimed it cleansed her body. She even had a smaller spiral in a necklace, and this smaller one she would press up against any beverage she was about to consume, claiming that the water inside the copper spiral "aligned" the water molecyles of the beverage.

When she started talking like this, I decided, for once in my life time, to throw away completely all my prejudice and just accept this girl for all that she was worth.

It was a clear feeling of either completely ignore her and stay as far away as possible, or completely accept her and get as much out of the experience as possible.

It was a very entertaining day.

When we danced, which we did alot, she didn't as much dance, as she played with my 'energies'. It was like she was "swimming in my aura" (her words), and I was feeling so weird, but I couldn't help myself: I had to go along, accept her completely, and just enjoy the extreme nature of this encounter. She was constantly giggling and laughing, and I was thinking all the time "She's insane, she's crazy."

At one time during the night, we were in the kitchen having coffee. A spider crawled on the wall behind me, and she started to talk to it!! She said she communicated with all animals and plants. When I asked her what the spider had said, she laughed and looked real funny at me, and then she kissed me, real quick. Then she looked back up at the spider and mumbled something to it.

Such a bizarre night, oh boy.

Sometime in the morning (I didn't sleep at all), I found her  leaning with the palms of her hands against a tree. I though "Ok, now she's talking with the tree, I'd better not disturb" so I left quietly.

She also talked about reincarnation all the time, about her definite belief in the meaning of every little thing that happens. Like at one point, some guy had stepped on a broken beer bottle, and she said "Of course, you guided your self towards the glass, to live out some internal suffering."

I don't know why I accepted her. Normally I would shun this kind of person completely. There was something about her that was completely honest and uncompromising, and somehow I needed company like that.

It's the kind of encounter I will probably never forget, and as completely as I might disagree with her, I had to agree with her joy of living.

End of story.

I got home this afternoon. My sweat smells like beer. I've been awake for more than 50 hours, and my brain is buzzing with residual alcohol and dealing with getting to know 40 new people in three days.

I had absolutely no interest in getting laid with the strange alternative girl.

But the first girl was a different story altogether.

Yeah, maybe she raped my aura and I didn't even notice

That was actually the original caption!!

and Denoir ignored my repeated pleads to stop tampering with it.

(That was at least a month ago or so, since the "Title-Wars" took place.)

But I'm not at all unsatisfied. I'm feeling more satisfied now than I have in a very long time.

I hope when she was "swimming with your aura" you were wearing protection. Gods know you wouldn't want to end up with an STD (spiritually transmitted disease)

[nordin dk 0]

I'm safe. She never "penetrated" my aura

Honestly, it was not a sexual experience in any way.

It was extemely fascinating, as a sort of study of human nature.

I can't get over how extreme these days have been.

I need to go to bed and sleep for about 20 hours I think.

When I wake up, I'd like to read some stories of encounters with extreme persons.

Not "getting beat up by a psychopath" kind of stories, but RL stories of interesting people.

[hovmand 0]

Nordin go here for more alternative danes if you are interrested.

[nordin dk 0]

Uhm...

Hasn't anybody here met some interesting people?

I once knew this fellow, who was totally into all of this mythology... thing (I was going to say crap, but let's keep an open mind).

Anyway, he just loved to try all sorts of drugs, because the shamans and witch-doctors of old ages used various drugs to induce trance. I think this friend of mine genuinely believed that the shamans didn't just dream up stuff in their drug-haze but they actually experienced "alternate planes of being" or something (this friend wasn't exactly easy to understand you know).

So, gradually with they years, this bloke became more and more weird and disconnected with the rest of humanity. Eventually he got committed to a mental institution.

The funny part here is that to this day I don't know whether he just got plain old crazy or did he actually discover something in the end of that drug tunnel, which just got him labelled crazy by our society.

Maybe I'll ask if I ever meet him again.

No, she won't snap. These people don't want to hurt anybody or anything.

Since nobody here apparently ever meets interesting people, I will tell of another person.

This is a girl I dated many years ago.

At some point (long after we broke up), she decided to "convert" to bhuddism.

Now her life is completely devoted to it.

She takes up yoga, meditation, follows a special diet, travels every year to Tibet or Nepal or some place, to study with her guru.

Being the kind of bhuddist she is, she has to practise kind of extreme rituals of cleansing. If anybody has seen the movie "Crumb" about the comicbook writer, you will perhaps recall a certain intestinal 'excercise'.

When she meditates, she is always in the nude, and preferably outside (which is probably nice for the people who live around her).

And, worst of all: she drinks her own urine in the morning.

She claims its part of being in touch with her body.

What drives a person to this kind of behaviour?

I don't know, but let me just say, I'm glad I got out in time!

[ralphwiggum 6]

she's nuts.

Before I joined the military I hiked from New Hampshire to North Carolina. Most of the time I stayed in the mountains on hiking trails, but once in ahwile I walked down towards a highway and hitched a ride. Anyways, I met a gentleman named Dwight (sp?). He was a nice enough guy, but like every story he told me involved his friend named Dwayne (sp?). "Dwayne said this." "Dwayne did that" etc After the xth story involving Dwayne I asked him where Dwayne was now. Well, come to find out Dwayne was 20 feet behind us in the trailer, because Dwayne was a horse. I felt kind of sad, because this old mans best (and seemingly) only friend in the world was an old horse named Dwayne. He dropped me off at a truck stop in PA I think, anyways I bought an apple and fed it to ole Dwaye and jokingly told him to take care of Dwight. I swear to the Gods he nodded his head and whickered.

Thats a nice story.

Even if Dwayne wasn't a particularly interesting person...

Maybe your friend saw "Altered States" with William Hurt, remember that film?

Did your friend drink peyote?

B.t.w. lots of people develop psychosis from drugs.

I was always tempted to tro LSD because of the weirdness of the trip, but I know it might induce psychosis, and I'm not quite ready for that yet

(P.S. I've never tried any kind of hard drugs)
