 Could we not call the Flood a generator of joy and wisdom? Ramakrishna, supposedly the last known human to actually reach nirvana and return, was asked what it was like there in the zone of ultimate consciousness. He answered laughter. Laughter often frees one of life's perplexing dualities. In the Flood, and certainly the post-float, is there not a smile? If not outright laughter, often of a spontaneous or even cosmic sort. Does not the Flood lead to elation which can foster realization? Is the Flood experience a doorway to the realization of a core or Buddha nature that is believed to dwell already perfect and complete at the secret core of us? Could this be the well which scientists and the depths draw from in their explorations of the healing response and wellness? Could this practice be an early step in the creation of new ontologies, sociologies and ecologies around the nature and the reach of mind, of consciousness? Could this practice recondition our conditioned sensorium opening to new perceptions and actions? Could this practice teach us that consciousness is of but precedes culture? You are the explorers of, the suppliers of, the caretakers of and the voices for a uniquely powerful and profound practice. As seen, heard and experienced here, this industry is growing. It's diversifying and it's deepening. If ever we need the Flood, it is now.
