Post Subject: Yet one more 'trigger' not mentioned...Posted by Axel on: 8/13/2009

is that of any physical, bodily touch-sensation(s). I think the 'of no consequence' explanation is very well put.
If it happens, it is COMPLETLY beyond ANY intention, rational, or logical consequence of what is going on RATIONALLY.

The additional trigger of 'touch' would do EXACTLY the same, but as it is with music it would need at least need some degree of 'non-defendedness' I.E. receptiveness by some relaxation. An example is, that during a foot- or calf-massage some more 'recent' ~ 10 year old COMPLETELY 'irrelevant' memory of walking down a street in Turku / Finland (just THAT ~ irrelevant moment) gets triggered (THIS IS HAPPENING YEARS LATER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD) - BUT it is connected to a feeling of sorts which again seems irrelevant, as it simply just "IS" in some moment of time. All completely outside the so called rational domain.

PS: I think the majority of 'western conditioned' minds do not really want to go there, since anything beyond the immediate rational would actually be perceived as unhealthy, scary, stupid, idiotic, or plain irresponsible, etc.
