Loving this.[] That is all.

That was lovely! Reminds me of when I saw a face in the clouds, this was also a white male but with a short beard, but I don't think mine was God, perhaps my guide/master but who knows? This was something that happened to me whilst meditating - it's interesting you had to look up about 45 degrees to get to this state; when this happened to me I was looking up from sitting on the ground to the top of a tree at a 45 degree angle.  Perhaps it's meditating whilst focusing on something in the same line of sight as the 3rd eye that pushes the meditation into deeper states. It's something I'd been pondering while walking the dogs earlier, then I came home and lo and behold, I come across your post!
Wonderful insight.
Btw, what does Dewey Decimal No 133.43 actually mean (other than studying)?

It's the Occult section of the Library []

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'll try here.

Last Saturday my family and I went to see some friends.  They live in typical small town America.  We went to a fireworks display on Saturday night.  Independence day celebrations are typically on the 4th of July, but many small towns have them early so people can travel to big cities to see really impressive displays.

Anyway, I was sitting very close to the display, and I had to look up at about 45 degrees to see everything.  There was a school maybe 200 feet behind me.  I was in an altered state, and slipped into a very deep meditative state.  I have found that visual stimulation can really push me when meditating.

As the fireworks started, I slipped deeper into meditation.  There was a baseball game going on before the fireworks.  The scoreboard said the 13th inning (summer intramural leagues usually only play 7 or 9 innings and no overtime, so that was very unusual) and the score was 4 to 3.  I knew this was significant, but I didn't know why.  I kept staring at the board, knowing it was a sign (it was, I figured it out).

Focusing on the fireworks wasn't producing much, so I focused on the smoke they make after exploding.  I slipped deeper into meditation, and was tingling all over.  I was sitting with my bare feet on the ground, to better help me draw power.  There was a little sub-finale about 5 minutes into the display.  The sounds of the explosions were echoing off the school, and I could feel my perceptions following the sounds as they went past.  I was shooting for an OOB to 'follow' the sounds as they went by.

Suddenly the smoke clouds took on images.  I wish I had brought a tape recorder to describe what I saw.  It was initially people; I had an impression of medieval dress or statuary.  I distinctly remember a woman in a white or grey robe.  

I re-focused back on the lights and sounds for a minute then went back to the smoke.  Now I only saw skeletons.  Each explosion produced a skeleton; there were dozens of them.  I had the Impression of Death.  I had a slight panic flutter, but I maintained my concentration, fearing omens doesn't do any good.  I had the distinct impression I was being shown a set of scenes, and there was a purpose to it.  

I re-focused on the lights and sounds then back on the smoke clouds.  Suddenly the skeletons were melting.  In reality the clouds were drifting away on a very light breeze.  The skeletons were doing what they were supposed to be doing, returning to that from which they came, and that was okay.  At this point I was humming.  I could feel energy coursing though me, and I could direct it.  If I weren't afraid of disturbing the vision, I would have done something productive with it.

The grand finale was that and more.  The echoes of the explosions was a palpable sensation, like spray from ocean waves, they kept hitting me from behind.  I focused again on the smoke clouds during the finale.  I got the impression I was being shown the natural order of things, a metaphor for humans and I was watching from an Astral/Universe perspective (this hit me last night during meditation, not at that instant).  At the climax (for it was that psychically to me)  I saw an image of God.  Well, it was an image of a white male, with the classic white hair and beard, and it looked just like the cartoonist Gary Larson would have drawn, from mid-chest up.  Deep down that's how I would see God, a bit of a jokester.  

Then I knew what I was watching.  Humans were the fireworks.  They were mined from inert elements.  They were carefully made, for they can be dangerous.  They were protected from accidental harm and the elements.  They have short lives, and burn very brightly.  They bring enjoyment to other beings that watch through the ages, and then they die.  And that's okay, because they return to the earth, to eventually return as something else.  But they have permanently left their mark on some being.  That was the way of things and it was okay.

I knew at this point that I had healed myself from my long darkness of denial.  I was "back" so to speak.

And the "sign" I spoke of earlier?  Occult books, including some I'm reading now are Dewey Decimal number 133.43  The scoreboard had 13 on the top, 4 on left team and 3 on the right team.  Reading it the 3 was just to the right and below the other 3, so it indeed could be interpreted as 133 43.  I interpreted it as keep studying!

I'm writing this at work today, and I may have to shut my office door, I'm crying like a baby with the emotional release.
