Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Dear all I had an experience quite recently which caused a temporary change in my perceptions. It happened after I was introduced to a Guru to practice meditation. With this guru, who tried to give scientific explanations to the process and state of meditation, the third day , after two sessions of group meditation, something happened to me. I felt very light in my body, and started to believe that we were all one. This was a very genuine feeling. I also started to feel that an evolved soul is around me that is creating situations to that I could get this realization. That soul is manifesting in the most unlikely person around me. Sometimes I thought it was my estranged business partner, sometimes my driver, sometimes the maid , sometimes my uncle. I had felt that there were powers that wanted to take me away from this pursuit. Those who made the world more desirable , pleasurable were the ones that were the demons. There was a competition between the demons and the gods around me- those wanting me to progress and those that wanted me to remain lost in the world. I lived in this experience for couple of weeks, right in the middle of an intense corporate battle. I had a feeling that this experience would not last very long, but I did not know if it would stay for a day or more. It actually lasted for more than a week. I felt like forgiving all who had caused me or my close ones worldly trouble. I also felt that I had the responsibility towards the demons also who could be uplifted with my upliftment. I went about asking for forgiveness and blessings from all. I was aware of this new feeling. I was not once out of control. I did things which I would not normally do, but nothing that I would ever repent. Indeed in a couple of weeks, I got out of this feeling. This was surely not hallucination. It was a surreal experience - something that was very powerful. It came all of a sudden , and also left like that. I do feel it has let me a couple of steps higher, but that level did not sustain - which was something much higher (perhaps only much different). While I do not feel the way I did, I continue to believe (intellectually) in oneness of all, and God in a special one around me. In fact a couple of weeks after that I went through a phase of strange illness - subsequent disillusionment in spirituality and all that I have felt about it and began accepting worldly pursuits(responsibilities).This cycle of belief-disillusionment -stronger belief , most of it without any visible reason, has happened twice before. Now again things are changing. That's what brought me to this Saadhna group after almost 8 months and try to grow further on this path. I do wish to retrace my steps that led me to that surreal state. Has anyone felt anything similar at some time? Please do share any of your surreal/special experiences while in pursuit.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Nithin... The updown cycle is central to everyones sadhana....If you read the experiences of some of the Kunalini yogis... They too say this.... And in fact.... An experience has to be internalised... and no experience lasts for ever... Before the utlimate experience... there is something called as the dark night of the soul... This has been faced by every mistic... It is there in the bible too..... Only by this up down cycle... one understands the transient nature of the world and spirituality also... It is said that if the World is an Iron chain... Ideas of God and conciousness are a Golden chain.... Everything has to be transcended.... In my opinion and experience your experiences seem authentic and you are on the right path... It is this expanded conciousnesss that all are one that will grow into your being... till one day you will become it. All my love and prayers for your sadhana....... Love Bala....

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Also Nithin, I am not trying to advice, but just my opinion, Please do not try to retrace your steps... It will bog you down... Just flow with existance that is taking you on this wonderful journey... Trust and love it... It will take you beyond your wildest dreams... In fact if you give HIM total freedom.. HE can even take you beyond even your thoughts... Love Bala...

Anhad chakra when activates, it gives you a feeling of cosmic-consciousness, which u felt. there are different version of cosmic consciousness. One of my co-sadhka had a feeling as if he is expanding and solar system and all universe became his part and he was able to see the universe, as if watching from distance. Of course these feelings are not stable in the beginning. Because this happened due to energy of kundalini coming to heart chakra. Had Kundalini herself raised to heart chakra, you would have longer or stable feelings of cosmic-consciousness. Great saints, who have universal love for all, normally have their Kundalini seated in Heart chakra, instead of Muladhara. disappearance of such good progress signs, is a very common thing in Sadhna. No one in the world could have these symptoms stable in the beginning. It is also a sort of indication from God, that you are on the right path. Even Samadhi comes for a few seconds in the beginning....it is with great Tapas, we can stabalise the samadhi for longer periods. Patience has a bigger role in Sadhna, than sadhna itself AUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
