Slipping Into Trance State

[dron]

I remember i was watching a movie being fully relaxed and absorbed.The volume level was low enough since it was almost midnight.
Without realizing how,i got scared,cause for a second or so,my hearing amplified big time.
The words and sound effects were somehow hitting me like a drum...

One other time i was in front of my pc,reading a magical book with angelic invocations..
At some point,the same thing happened again..
And it happened while i was reading the line '' i call on thee,mighty(name of the angelic)'',and 'boom'..
I started to smell cedar around me,and i could feel the energies of the angel..
The moment i realized what had happened,i was out of the state..
(yet,the energies remained).
I had invoked an angelic without intention and by doing nothing at all.

Some other similar experiences as well,by reading words and trigger them..

For example i was talking to a forum member under the name '' one light''
As i was getting tired from the screen,i slept into the state,with my eyes targeting his profile name..
Immediately i felt light presence around me,almost smelling it as well...


I suspect this state is the only thing you need to trigger something from the inner realms.
The so called 'trance' everyone talks about.
It feels somehow '' weird'.Like you are reaching something that is ultra focused and aware,yet the moment you realize what's goin on (consious mind),you're out of it.

Today, while meditating with a friend, I briefly lost awareness.

It was kind of like going to sleep- how we start with active thoughts, and as we go deeper into sleep there's a moment where we are not shaping thoughts but instead passively observing. Where things take a life of their own.

I slipped out of bodily awareness for a split second and suddenly I found my self looking at a flustered hispanic woman. She was standing in a hallway, it looked like a hospital. She spotted me and started moving frantically towards me. Her chin was raised high and her head tilted- her movements were like someone with a nervous tick.

I wasn't really aware of my self in the moment. She had raven black hair with pale skin. As soon as she got up close to me, she palmed my forehead but right before her hand made contact my awareness was snapped back into my body.

I completely forgot I had been there breathing. It is a similar feeling when a muscle twitches after the body goes to sleep and so it jumbles with your dream and causes you to jump, bringing awareness back to your physical self.

The vision was like, I was not supposed to be there. So, I kept breathing and went back to noticing the soothing sensations of my breath. I went back to honing a state of present attention.

The meditation was 30 minutes, but this experience was probably 2 seconds.

You have wonderful experiences Dron. And I believe you are on to something. How is it two people continents apart can share a similar experience? Like a dream, or even a synchronicity? It tells me we are more than our bodies.

Moving ahead, I hope I can integrate this more. I share so often because these experiences are so thought provoking- awe inspiring, and the answer to something even deeper.

Because I believe deep down I am still afraid. Afraid to let go of all these wonderful forms of Love. It seems I've become quite comfortable with this lower, grosser(denser) material realm. But my meditation partner reminded me today, whatever happens... "It's just another place."

I watched a movie today and it asked the existential question: "what if there is nothing after this life? not even awareness that awareness ever existed at all?"

But these experiences show me there is more. Though I share with joy, I can't answer these questions for someone else. So... I hope this year, to really absorb what are Faith affirming experiences.... To be ok with being in it, alone. One day I will have to release my hold on this body.

Or maybe it is better phrased, to feel the love without bodily associations. Not that we are alone, but the understanding of presence needs to really develop. I am not saying to disregard that which we have been gifted.

But I am sharing what motivates me to step into these altered perceptions now. Hone in on the Love, above all. One day, we will have to be ok with letting go of this temporary physical form.

You described the state correctly.

Your vision,sounds like a transmission (shaktipat)from a feminine force.Just remember that what you are seeing,is an interface.A translation (in a visual language),of what we could say '' contact with power''.
One time i wanted to attack the analytical - chatter mind,and i went in vision while being' 'invisible' '.
It appeared with the form of an harlequin.A troll almost evil one.So i cutt his head off,and if i remeber correctly i was stabbing him big time.

I do such things when i get angry
I felt pain to a brain area,but for a while i was more relaxed and focused

Anyway.
Just be your self and act on your highest excitement is what i would reccomend to everyone.
And i really enjoy to read every kind of experience from others as well

Thank you Dron.

That is interesting this desire to attack or "cut" something you no longer wish to serve you.

Yes it is curious what that information is. Is it an aspect of my self?

Because, the meditation put me in a state where there was very little "me" and moreso just "experience" almost witnessing itself.

I wonder how vast is consciousness- and how self imposed are our limitations?

If two people can share an experience, only known to them at a later time, continents apart... Then what is distance for awareness(as existence), and what are we- in relation to that awareness?

I wonder if the differences people report when having a shared experience are because of the filters and the sense of identity awareness trickles through...

Hmm... Not sure... But a lot to think on!

I am interested in this state of Presence. Emptiness is not empty. God is all around. Transcendental, not without Love - Unique and Profound.

I do attacks to my self as well.
Of course i'm not skilled enough to work on the deeper levels,otherwise i would have donne big damage.
In your case,it could be an aspect of your self (as you said),or it could be something else.
No one can really give a solid answer.

For the meditation part,i don' t know.
But for sure,distance is not a barrier for some people.(I've witnessed it).

[happyrain]

Thanks Dron.

Lately, I am looking at minimizing thought recognizing where thought no longer serves my best interest. Every discomfort that arises, I look as an aspect of my self. But I don't necessarily look at that aspect as something that needs attacked. I try to understand. And if I can't understand, I let it go. The ego, my ego, creates stories I do not always align with- and puts my body in states I find disagreeable. But the ego is not an enemy, nor is it something I carelessly glorify. Even though, at times, that's exactly the state many of us(my self included) are living from. Always looking at how this person "effects me" or how this person does something "I disagree with" to the point where eventually everything is "against me."

Well lately, every aspect of discomfort is being looked at as something for me. And ultimately, for God. When I recognize these bodily and mental discomforts as an opportunity, and when I can understand my self better as a consequence, I am rising with God. I may be very close to God in this way, and no one outside my self may recognize it- because, despite that being an incredibly powerful reality- it is not one the ego thrives in. You can go unnoticed, and people can think the worse of you, but it wouldn't matter if you look at everything as relevant or in service to(Love/God as Love). It wouldn't matter if you simply remembered God is the teacher. Basically it wouldn't matter if someone does something that bothers me. If I am living from my Heart, it wouldn't matter.

So I trying to move towards being unmoved by the external world. And I find it is incredibly challenging. I didn't realize just how often I am subtly putting my self in an undesirable state. I didn't realize how often I let the ego drive the psychological perspective. And one aspect of this challenge is to allow Love to flourish even when I don't think I deserve it. To let love flourish even when I realize I am living from a state that robs me of my peace. Someone said this at the astral pulse the other day:
"He said because we all are a 'one consciousness', that once you 'transition' from your physical vessel, you realize again that you are everyone that was in your physical existence here."

He was quoting someone by the name of Joe McMoneagle. I do believe consciousness is a singularity phasing through all beings. Even if I have lifetimes of incarnations in a less physically dense worlds or move closer to Source/Center and eventually am freed from time and space, even if then I exist as independent entity- I do not deny the idea of consciousness as a singularity.

It really helps to look at everyone, especially those I find disagreeable, as some aspect of my self- even if those aspects are things I think I've mastered, or have decided to tuck away because I deemed them ugly or undesirable.

In the end I am learning how to speak softly, with more care, whether that person or something before me is of God or some aspect of my Self- if you love God, would you not want to honor these forms he Chooses to dwell in? At the same time... I am just trying to be, which is kind of oxymoronic. May be just moronic. I already am, but it's understanding who I am- consciously, not unconsciously.

Often we move towards unconscious comfort than conscious comfort. So it is a transition, a practice, and quite possibly one that is endured through many lives.

You don't need to think of your self as unskilled, unequipped or thinking you will hurt your self. Remember nothing escapes Gods care, and as long as you are living from you heart- it is enough.

I understand happyrain
Everyone is different,and at the very end,we are responsible for our choices.
Simple as that.

Morning friend

If it is as simple as that then,

Of course i'm not skilled enough to work on the deeper levels

You are more skilled than you realize.
