    Hey Rebecca,

    Thanks for a high quality description of your tripping experience. It
    seems in many respects to be like the Christian "born again" experience
    which is described in Wikipedia:

    "In humanist psychological terms, being "born-again" is largely analogous
    to a perceptual state of hyper-salience, where one experiences an extreme
    and jarring change of perceptions, which causes one to believe that one
    has a new or renewed sense and understanding of oneself and one's
    relationship to the world."

    As for finding out what exactly DQ is, I wonder if you and others think
    it's necessary to trip out in order to experience DQ?
