I believe the sun is conscious and that I communicated

 From 1996 on I believed that I could communicate with
the sun by thinking a question at it and then divining
the answer by perineum click divination.   However i
don't think this ever worked and I have, as of last night,
given up on this perineum click divination, including
that I will ignore spontaneous clicks.

But anyway, if you think you have some telepathic
ability, could you try communicating with the
sun, and ask it when I will come out of the low
years, and then report back here.   Of course you
may have your own questions to ask the sun as well.

Note that when I was admitted to hospital following
my sun stare, somebody had left the book Rogue Star,
one of the three books of The Starchild Trilogy by
Fred Pohl and Jack Williamson, in the dresser
drawer.   The book was about intelligent stars.

Probably an example of synethesia, where the impulses generated as
your optic nerve was frazzled got misdirected into the part of your
brain responsible for communication. Presumably the part of the
brain that provides commonsense (which precludes staring at the sun)
was damaged during some previous experiment.

No, I doubt it.   And the communication was a wordless
shamanic call from me to the sun, and the response
overloaded me and caused me to black out momentarily.
Just before I blacked out I saw a tunneling beyond
the sun, which was like what you see when you place
two mirrors facing one another and peek inside, and
which I think was a peek into higher dimensions.
Then there was a scissoring in of giant wings of
space (or of the sun) just before I blacked out.  I
came to very quickly in the upward-facing-dog
pose of the yoga sun salutation (I guess so that
I would float and not drown).

The wings I liken to the wings which descended on
Jesus during his baptism.   But note that I am
not Christian and I think Jesus was just a man.
(The tunneling I liken to the opening of the
heavens during his baptism.)

The sun stare was partly inspired by Sarah McLachlan's
song  Into the Fire  from her CD  Solace.   I think
I didn't have any eye damage because it wasn't
long before sunset, the stare didn't last long,
and I had dropped my severely nearsighted glasses
in the ocean so that the image of the sun would
have formed off my retina.

Also I was quite manic which overloaded my common sense.
