This Salmon on the Thorns page is an autobiographical account of my mystic experiences, combined with comparison of those to those of past figures, plus a list of messages from me. The key mystic experiences I have had are five waning crescent highs, three of which followed 5.5 lunar months after onset of waxing gibbous moon trials. The first and most intense high of the five culminated in a naked sun stare, thorn hill climb, and blue rose vision. The first high occurred early in September, 1991, and the fifth occurred late in August and early in September, 1994. Then beginning early in 1996 I entered into what I call low years, low in terms of creativity, at times in terms of mild depression, at times in terms of delusion and even paranoia. For past figures such low years seem to have lasted seven years but for me they have lasted 12 years (as of Jan. 29, 2008) so far, I think since I have had the benefit of modern medicines, and since lifespans are longer today on average.
The two figures I have the most evidence that I am similar to are Gwion (Taliesin) and Jesus. That implies that Jesus and Gwion were similar to one another. I discuss other past figures in the parallels in past figures section. But really all the evidence I have is not enough without my coming out of the low years into a period of creativity and productivity. That would be equivalent to the Buddha finding enlightenment or Finn catching the salmon of wisdom.
