I mean it was cool, don't get me wrong. But greatest thing I've ever seen? IDK, I saw a space shuttle launch live. That was way cooler. Dark Knight in IMAX is a contender. The coolest thing I've ever seen is basically the entire country of Iceland. The Eclipse is maybe top 20.
It's possible I just did the eclipse wrong. I am glad you enjoyed it. I don't quite understand why so many people take it personally that I was not moved by it.
But all that stuff is still true whether you see it yourself or not. I don't quite get this line of reasoning. Were you unsure about the nature of astral bodies before that point?
Again, I have no intention of diminishing your experience, unlike you mine. I am super happy that you had a surreal experience. I just felt extremely underwhelmed personally.
Also, people keep saying this about animals, but I didn't witness that at all. My dog slept through it.
