New State of Mind

[LightBeam]

Just when I think I've reached the limits of what can I know while physically oriented, something new happens
Yesterday after taking a short day nap, upon awakening while still having my eyes shut and becoming aware I am waking up, I had a very strong vision about my current character and its relation to everything else. I saw and felt myself (as a character, not a larger entity) in a perfect state with complete absence of worries, concerns, fears. The best way I can describe is complete absence of ego, which typically ensures survival. But by being present, that necessity of survival automatically brings forth fears, worries, imagining the worst case scenarios that can happen so we can take precautions, etc. Absence of ego is typically experienced during AP, but it's easy from that state. Once we refocus back here we assume the character thinking. For example, one time I was out for so long, I was having such fun. I even thought of my physical body and I did not snap back, so I started thinking if I was physically dead, and that thought actually had a freeing effect and I did not care even for a moment if that was the case. But while oriented here this would be fearful, mainly for me because it will cause great pain to  my family. So, although we experience certain states of mind and we do remember them, we just cant shed fully the effects of the ego while physically oriented.
What I considered new for me during the experience upon awakening from the nap was that I felt in a complete state of perfection as myself in relation to everything else without the ego, but I was actually awake in the physical. And as I was feeling this I said to myself "Well, that's new. I absolutely love it! Let's retain this state of mind". However, it dissipated within 5 minutes. I was disappointed. Now, it's just 5% left of it, but I'll take it. I love when I discover new things! Now I know about it, but I just can't feel it 100%. Nevertheless, it's wonderful to know that what we have restricted ourselves to know is still here. And the "not knowing" is just a simulation. And that in itself is enough for me to still feel content at all time

Interesting post LB, especially how the feeling lasted while being fully awake. I have felt this feeling while in Spirit: total peace, content, no worries, all is ok, as we are fully loved and accepted. The result is feeling pure bliss. To be honest, when returning here and feeling the weight of all the human filters applied once again, it was disappointing. The states are so different it's almost as if 2 entirely different species are experiencing life/consciousness differently. In a way it is exactly that: human vs Spirit. Such a huge difference between the two. Wouldn't it be nice if these reflections gained in Spirit stayed with us for an entire day or more? Imagine if it were permanent? How life would be so very different.

I am just grateful to have experienced this, as just reflecting back on such a state is not possible, unless you have experienced it in Spirit in the first place. Even though the actual state is gone, and dissipates, the memory is so powerful that it alters our reality and perception of life here in the physical and beyond in Spirit.

I was actually asking myself this very question. How would I change my behavior in the physical life if I retained this state of mind as permanent. But even with 5% retained, it does give me great benefit because I HAVE changed my behavior and perception based on all of my first hand experiences so far. My perspective is way different now, and I am forever grateful!
