Dear Aikya and sarama, Experiences like this have happened to me all my life. Somehow, when driving the car, my left brain kept itself going so that I could still drive and experience the Oneness. I don't know what to attribute this to. I have always been a right brain/left brain person, and I have been very thankful for my left brain as I have realized that without it, I might get caught up in the Oneness and wander into the road and get hit by a car or something. These experiences have always given me great joy, and I have been very thankful for them. Here is a snippet of a song I wrote about this: I see It everywhere like a curtain that is hung, or is it just the shadows in my eyes of a day that's long since gone. Or perhaps It's the beginning of a song I haven't sung, but I am like a harp that's newly strung. That is how it feels ... like being an instrument, open ready to be played by the Divine Hand.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Regarding the oneness experience shared by my friend and I in which the individuality seemd to completley disappear, both my friend and I were going through a particular Neptune transit. We both have very strong and beneficent Neptune in the birth chart. I think Neptune was transiting natal Sun at the time possibly for the first time in our adult lives. I wonder if perhaps Linda may have Neptune Sun conjunct in the natal chart???? Anyway, when my friend and I were going through the experiences, we were quite careful not to ascribe any great heights of spiritual development to ourselves on account of them. At the same time, since we had both had good Advaita Vedanta training, we were aware that what we were experiencing was a glimpse of the truth of the Paramatman, not distinct from the atman. So we looked on them as unusual experiences of the truth like a scientist might view evidence of the existence of the electron which most people don't see. We also concurred that others who had not had such Vedanta training could well find the experiences terrifying and wind up hospitalized and on medication due to the ignorance of current mental health providers about spiritual matters. I have had similar experiences since then.
