Re: What was your most important spiritual experience?
During the time I learned of the law of attraction and the power of thought i experienced a wonderful re-formatting (or de-brainwashing) of my mind. I was also introduced to Reiki (ghost, spirit, soul, supernatural, miraculous, or divine; gas, air, breath, energy force, atmosphere, mood, intention, emotion, attention) energy healing at the same time and never lost interest. Before going to sleep one night, i meditated with a rainbow quartz crystal between the palms of my hands (a beautiful crystal; when looked at from different angles shows the colors of the rainbow.). I was fascinated with the concept of sending love and energy to people i cared about from a distance (a form of prayer i had never contemplated before). I put all of my focus into this crystal between my palms, imagining that it was illuminating with love/light and/or healing energy. I started to feel an incredible amount of heat going into/through the palms of my hands. It was amazing to me and almost unbearable at first (one way reiki was described to me). I continued to concentrate on the immense heat i was feeling. I became fond of this feeling and it eventually spread throughout my arms. It felt as if my arms, in physical form, were non-existant or only made of pure energy (love/light), and the only way i could verify their physical existance was by opening my eyes.
After about an hour of this, my mind felt as clear as it had ever been. At this point i felt extremely relaxed and in a peaceful state of being ('not a care in the world'). I proceeded to go to sleep. Not long after lying down, it felt as if i had given up all control over my thoughts and they were working on their own. It was like i was watching all the thoughts and ideas in my head organize themselves because my mind was so relaxed; like a puzzle putting itself together - all of the pieces being attracted to each other and put in the right place. At a certain point, when all thoughts were organized completely and correctly, i felt an extreme feeling of bliss and enlightenment. It felt like there were no more questions to ask because i had figured everything out. I knew everything. Then it felt like i was jumping out of my body into the domain of my soul; like i was being pulled throught hyperspace into another dimension (words cannot describe). At this point, i realized what my mind had done and what i had stumbled upon. I began an attempt to 'rationalize' my current state of being. Suddenly, I felt afraid to go on as if i wasn't ready to handle this journey. My body began to tremble in undescribable ways. Then, as soon as i had come upon this state of being, i left it without memory of how i had gotten there.
It felt like i had all questions answered and then forgot the answers in an instant. This left me in a very odd state of mind; trying to remember what i had just realized that was so simple but answered everything. The answer to everything was so simple. This detail stands out in my mind above all: Simplicity in complexity.
the next day i tried to describe what happened to me to the person who introduced me to all of this. he said that i was "simply being" "simply existing" and there was a name fore what i had experienced.
i do not know what happened that night. if any of this sounds like something you've heard about or are familiar with please let me know. i want to understand.
PEACE.
LOVE.
