Thank you for your response, my big mind and the illusory collection of achetypal traits which currently represent myself are in constant communication! The experience felt like it had more of an  independent nature. Possible hypotheses I am considering are either I had read this before ( unlikely ) or that I had been an unwitting medium.

If that’s your working theory, you’re probably barking up the wrong tree posting on a Buddhist Q&A site.  Don’t attach too much importance to the source.  It could wind up becoming an obstacle.

I was staying at samye ling Tibetan monastery in Scotland and writing a lot of poetry. I wrote this haiku in one go without any consideration or counting syllables, and did not feel as if I wrote it. It is much better than my usual standard:

Palms open fingers spread,  
Serenity offered,  
The mind now awake.

Does anyone recognise it? I am certain that I have no conscious memory of reading these words or any similar lines and am equally sure that they are not my invention! I would appreciate any insight into how they came to be. I have not subsequently experienced anything like this.
