I have found a message on the web board from my reader who had a question about " bottomless sky" before. This time it is a P.S. to the previous message. It says;
P.S. I have been feeling uneasy about it all the time. Was that something ominous? Or was that some kind of nirvana? To avoid misunderstanding, I would like to add that I did not practice any asceticism to attain that state of mind (a bottomless sky). It happened when I was a kid accidentally. That was the moment when I simply helped somebody. That's why I said last time that the most important thing is not a technique but the heart. And I have never ever joined any cult group or any seminar. I'm all right. So no worries - okay?
Okay, let me comment on this issue here.
It doesn't matter if it was something ominous or some kind of nirvana. The most important factor here is that it happened accidentally when he/she simply helped somebody.
When you help somebody and are appreciated, you feel good. Most of you have experienced it sometimes in your life, I suppose.
Then, how come you feel good?
This "good feeling" is the one caused by brain hormones such as beta-endorphin and dopamine. When you do something good, those hormones are released in your brain and make you feel good.
In addition, as you know, kids have plenty of alpha brain waves much more than grownups do. Especially when little kids are completely absorbed in what they are doing, an extensive amount of alpha brain waves are produced in their brain. Also, beta-endorphin and dopamine are produced abundantly at the same time. The condition of reaching nirvana is satisfied perfectly.
Mr./Ms. Bottomless sky helped someone when he/she was a kid. This means that beta-endorphin and dopamine and alpha brain waves came all together at once. That's the reason why he/she reached the bottomless sky state of mind.
But those hormones become less and less as you get older, except some people such as artists. And instead, the amount of adrenaline and noradrenalin are getting bigger and bigger, and people became a grown-up who feel like its end of this world.
I understand that Mr./Ms. Bottomless sky is longing to go back to the time when he reached the bottomless sky state of mind, but it is impossible because he/she is grown up already.
