I had a really beautiful experience earlier this afternoon when I was meditating. After about 45 minutes, I felt myself reaching the threshold where my consciousness usually drops off. However, I maintained my awareness and then there was complete silence in my mind. I started losing awareness and voices came into me. Then, clear in my mind I saw a plant growing from seed to maturity. I realized that the voice was my own voice, yet a higher aspect of myself. My higher self chuckled with delight, as it was pleased that I have been following the path that I have been leading myself to. It was ironic, kind of like a parent smiling in encouragement when a child learns to walk. Then, the vision continued. From the leaves of that plant, I saw a seed floating out. My higher self told me that the seed represented me now. I understood that the mature plant represented the growing that I have already accomplished in this life. Now I am coming into a new awareness of my life as a seed again.
From this new insight, I have found much peace.
That's awesome.
It's encouraging to hear about uplifting experiences like that.
Hello Groovygoddes, that is really a wonderfull experience, It also confirms some inportant things, that a higher self is watching your development and experience joy in that.
Perhaps the real goal is to merge with that higher self.
Thanks really inspiring.
Hi GroovyGoddess
That's a wonderful experience - thank you for sharing it with us.
It has encouraged me to meditate on a more regular basis. :meditate:

GG,

That is a great quote, and totally true IMO! If we can discover the realities in our myths, then our greatest potential will be realized. However, it is a long, hard road -- at least for me. :smile:
Also, I agree with Stookie and Selski. It sounds like you had a really neat experience!
everyone seems to have these wonderful "visions" all the time...how come the only time I've ever actually seen anything like this was when i was about to fall asleep while i was watching pinky and the brain, i saw this weird armchair. an armchair. clearly i have a destiny beyond that which any of you can ever comprehend. :roll:
What a beautiful experience! Thanks for sharing! I love the plant/seed imagery. And the voice--how awesome. :smile: I get some pretty strong images sometimes, but never get the voice to comment on them. Maybe I just need to learn to hear/listen to it.
Adam, you're going to take over the world! Or at least try to, hehe! :lol:
GreatOutdoors, one thing that helps me "tap into mythology" is Tarot. Basically the cards represent the universal mythical symbols. They always tell a story and/or present a nugget of truth that anyone can recognize and identify with. You just need to get a deck that "speaks" to you. :smile:
