@Germlat,
Here's something for your brain to register at Dial Up speed: the things in our life that make us feel down help us rise up; the things in our life that make us feel high, tend to crash us down into a heavier state than before.
It's almost as if ignorance has no gravity and intelligence is gravity; the caliber of intelligence determines how heavy the gravity is. Maybe this is why intellectuals have a "pull" to them like planets - maybe this is why planet bodies and human bodies both contain an electromagnetic shield. While ignorance is a void that just stares at you and tries to destroy your dimension.
