A nightly experience for me (for several years) was the appearance of an intensely bright light almost immediately upon relaxing into sleep. The light was too bright to look at, was large and right in front of my face. The first time it came I jerked my head aside ending the experience and ended up with a headache that lasted for days. A few days later it occured again. I shifted my external perception away from it but kept my conscious attention on the brilliance and was not slammed this time. The overly bright light transmuted into an indescribable shimmering silvery fog that fairly quickly lifted to expose one of the most beautiful scenes I had ever seen. I was now standing on a grassy hillside on the edge of a high cliff, overlooking a beautiful blue ocean. This is a place I have now gone to thousands of times, always preceeded by the light. I started beginning to inspect my surroundings, the grassy undulating hillside and cliff edge. When I looked up the hillside, angels were watching, waiting for me to see them, whence they took me up the hillside to "school". A temple (that appeared like crystal from the outside, but like marble inside) where-in classes take place. I joined the class in progress.

This place seems to be quite real to me, although I could just be seeing the reflection of my consciousness. I did go there very frequently, and I saw that many other people do as well. Maybe it is real, I just don't know.

It's so funny to consider when thinking back upon all the thousands of varied experiences I had during my sleep life. There are so many, and all so different, and all so real...

Many of my outings started off as dark heavy misty and close to my body. For instance, first feeling paralyzed, sitting up half out of the body and looking around at my room (dark misty)sometimes a conscious blue light shaft in the room lighting up the lower astral environment. Now I'm outside, it's bright and beautiful, but something is different, this isn't my hillside, it's just a little different, this is too real to be a dream but I still feel like I'm in a body, it's a lucid dream I figure. I play...
I think the best experiences are those when two conscious individuals in transcendent state directly connect (not physically, think of it more like telepathic connection within meditation). I don't know if there is a more joyful experience. Outside of the constraints of time. It's a funny world, all these different layers superimposed on each other, usually invisible, at least to the gross senses.

Winged Wolf -- My experience is that people are surrounded by certain colors, and many people can see those same colors. This is my experience, and others see the same things as I do. We compare what we see and they match. In regards to being intrusive, is it intrusive to look at someone? It's impolite to stare but when the aura is as visible as their body, it's really not intruding at all.
People's auras are fascinating, they are so descriptive of who that person is.  One of the fascinating aspects of peoples auras are the forms and shapes that occur. The most obvious of which is the HALO, which when I see one (whichever form it may take), I CAN NOT stop looking at it! The hue, depth and saturation of color is so varied!

Hi
Joe is referring to what we call jappa. Jappa is the counted repitition of a mantra, counting on a strand of 108 beads (well, actually 107 beads plus a GURU bead which one never goes past, just turns around and counts the other way). One will usually count off 108, or 1008, or 10008, like that. 10,008 takes a few hours!

No one mentioned that the geometry of the pentagram contains the divine proportion. Therefore, when using it in a right, it is important to draw it as perfectly as possible, to maintain those proportions, and to be conscious of them. I know, nobody else says that, well almost nobody... One might consider the pentagram as a sort of programable key that can "unlock" the forces of nature, then again, one might not...

Hi Mark
I'm not into the martial arts, but I do Golden Shield. We are fortunate to have a center here in Fairfield, Iowa. Ed Fleishman tells us what we can expect when we get the (chi/prana/energy/etc) into the higher centers. I know I come out of class feeling like I can almost fly. Seeing auras and other phenomena are common place among practitioners.

I used to listen to what I considered "The Music of the Spheres" fairly frequently. It sounded like intensely beautiful symphonic music drifting through space.

The sounds I remember even more are the slamming doors, breaking glass, gunshots, voice yelling...

That pesky high pitched ringing! At times it became so loud it was painful in a way, although it almost always transmuted into a different effect or energy. I even get it in the day sometimes. It is not tininitus either... It usually precluded an OBE.

Hi Scott -- Your experience was wonderful. I've had many such experiences. They started when I was about 6 years old and continued until a few years after I married. A Samaveda Pandit described the type of experience you relate to be a Kundalini uprising. I now tend to completely agree with him. If I were to express my way of thinking, I might say something like; the two guards you zapped could very well have been an astral representation of two nerve channels you spontaneously opened (with the Kundalini energy).

I did have several cave experiences, all of which were *very* interesting. One cave experience immediately came to mind when I read yours. I was moving across a pleasant pasture when I came to a mountain. At the base of the mountain (in front of me) was a cave which I walked into. The first 20 feet or so were white-washed. As I went further in the brush strokes of the white washing diminished until there was bare rock. At that point the light was diminishing and I came to a stop in front of a rectangular opening in the cave-floor. It was too big to step across and went from wall to wall. I looked inside, there was nothing, nothing at all, it was profoundly empty and I didn't want to go there. I wanted to go on but felt unsure so I went back outside where a 6 inch silver colored ball that looked like weightless mercury was floating around. I grabbed it and it turned into a crab . There's more but I won't go on.

I have received the impression from my cave experiences that caves are passages to other environments. I once went into a cave (with steps!), led by 2 Lamas. They led me down a long way into a small chamber. They had me get into a large heavy stone coffin. I got in and they left. After an indeterminent period of time I became inquisitive so I pushed the heavy lid off and got out. My eyes had dark adapted and I could see a different stair-cave going up out of the chamber, so I went up that one and eventually came into a carved stone, pillared room, then a stone balcony. I looked out into the night sky was astonished at the starry scene before my, all of it conscious! Clear and beautiful, and quite populated!

One of the more interesting experiences I'd like to relate involves just being next to my body. I laid down and spontaneously clicked (for lack of a better description) over to my "other" body. For the first time, I realized I was completely dual. I was in the physical body, blood pumping, lungs working, and feeling it IN that body. I was also floating beside my body trying to look at it, yet all I could see was an intense white fire surrounding it. The environment I perceived in my (remote) presence was different in that light emanated from all objects (the room I was in). The objects I perceived had no physical substance other than looking like a solid glowing mist. The quality of the light was different than normal light, conscious light, light and color as an enlivenment of the matter of that "light" world. All this "activity" stimulated an other person in the house, who floated over in her dream body to see what it was all about. I could she she was in a dream by the misty gray-ness of her form, and its closeness in appearance to her physical form. I don't know why, but I told her to go to the kitchen, and she did.

I had experiences like this nightly for a period of about 15 years, but I never met anyone else who had them, so I learned to keep quiet. Now, quite a few years later, these kinds of experiences are being talked about, that's GREAT!

HI EVERYONE!
