I just thought I didn't get it then noticed it's in chat not jokes. I still don't get it though.
So long and thanks for all the fish

I think it is just an exhortation

There is a big industry on that sort of stuff in the USA. Been there, done it, thrown away the t-shirt.

I am a very practical, non-religious person but there have been two occasions in my life when I have felt 'something'.  One was on a visit to The Grand Palace in Bangkok.  We went into the meditation room and a feeling of peace immediately came over me and I could have just stayed there.

Another time was in a yoga lesson.  We had a very good teacher and after the yoga there was a meditation time.  As I sat on the floor leaning on the wall, I felt myself rise above my body and I was looking down on myself for a few seconds.  It wasn't frightening but I remember it vividly.

I've felt my bed spin on a few occasions in my younger years. ;D

Never mind bed. I have quite a few spinning sensations over the decades

Ive had several inexplicable experiences over the years. One of my relations by marriage was a medium and I went to a number of her meetings. Things happened.

Nowadays I regard myself as a hard headed pragmatic person but I nearly always go with my gut instinct if something about a person, relationship or a transaction feels wrong
