Hello /x/-brothers,

I will warn you, there is nothing paranormal with my story. It does not involve mysticism, God, Allah, Nirvana or Demons. Nor is it a creepy pasta, or some kind of attention grabbing story. It may even not be something you care about, but I'm going to write about it anyhow.

When I was twelve years old, I started experimenting. I did this by sitting down in the bathtub. I was small and gullible. I thought that if I sat down somewhere with isolated thought for hours, that perhaps (humorously enough) I could see into the future or something. I did this for several hours in a period of two weeks with no results what so ever. What I discovered though was something else.

Sitting there with the water running on my back for hours I would seamlessly drift away; firstly not feeling the shower, then hearing no sound, eventually just forgetting that I was sitting in this place. I was potentially dreaming, or changing the patterns of my brain activity. Finding some kind of altered state. I didn't no shit, I was twelve, but still I continued. It had and is still my nature to do these kinds of things, and as a young kid I discovered that I had this innate longing for search - and sitting there slowly drifting away under the water, I knew I had a lot to find.
