Experience
description:
Terms I've elicited
such as "dimensions", being "sucked out" and the images during the experience
not of this universe are only for description, for lack of better/ more defining
words.
After several weeks of very positive thinking (how wonderful/ amazing life is) I
was at a friend's house. While playing religious music and keeping a spiritually
focused mindset, I felt an overwhelming need to sit quietly. Just after sitting,
I closed my eyes and started feeling energy (like the "chills") emanating from
my stomach. It soon began pulsating outward spherically to the edge of my body.
It became so intense that I began losing awareness of my physical senses.
noticing that I'd quit breathing, I gasped and then was "sucked out" and upon
opening my "eyes", was aware that I was floating around the ceiling. As I
observed both my and my friend's bodies, the thought of how simple, yet amazing
this was! Then the energy began to pulsate again. This time, I was "sucked" into
a dimension where thoughts manifest as reality. Colors flow past in streams,
lights appear and flicker, then disappear. To show that I was in a timeless
place a clock with no hands appears and floats past, to show that I had access
to unlimited knowledge, the largest mathematical equation I've ever seen
appeared, hovering in front of me. Then a voice, more like a vibration resonated
through me that told me "you are what you are and it's okay"! So I enquired
"what am I then?" and was "sucked" to another dimension where except for
blackness was a being. It was of height, width and depth beyond what I could
view or comprehend. It was composed totally of light, not really of a
"brightness" perse, but luminous nonetheless. After a moment to become aware of
"it", I was pulled as a magnet draws metal into it. It's essence is of all that
is, love, or of being the source of the energy that binds and animates all. To
call it God I guess would suffice. And then the "chills" energy previously
experienced was of intensity beyond description and all consuming, like peering
into infinity. After what felt as hours or days passed, I was thrust back into
my body. Upon opening my eyes and realizing that only a few minutes had passed,
I was excited about not only the experience, but life. As I left my friend's
house, I noticed plants, animals and people. But noticed as though we were
different shells of the same consciousness. All alive via the same energy.

you did not have prior to the experience?
Yes Voices that were apparently outside my head, would tell me of trivial
events that would transpire immediately.

Yes Very limited knowledge, it had NO effect on the experience.
How
did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it
happened:
Experience was definitely real It changed my understanding of the nature of
reality and began a new paradigm of self/ existence knowledge.
Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or
significant to you?
The
limitless capacity of both mind and consciousness and that all things in
existence are interconnected.
How
do you currently view the reality of your experience:
Experience was probably real That it's arrogant and short-sighted to
view life/ existence under either the traditional scientific or religious
lenses.
Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Yes
It's
been very difficult to feel both close and fulfilled by any relationship with
another person. Yet it brought a different sense of purpose to any relationship,
that I couldn't just be another fixture in their lives, but if possible to help
add meaning.
Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Yes
Traditional religions/ orthodoxy is inadequate. That unless the individual seeks
to experience for themselves, their spiritual view is lacking.
Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life,
medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?
Yes Meditation induced similar.
Is
there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?
That
with proper mental prep. and changing your environment as much as reasonably
possible, ANYONE can achieve a similar experience(s).
Did
the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and
comprehensively describe your experience?
Yes Comprehensive, yet protracted allowing for a more succinct yet detailed
and organized account.
Are
there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?
Not really, good job!
