An Out Of Body Experience

Hi Folks - !

Isn't Life wonderful?!

I am dying to share something that someone graciously shared with me.

Recently, I did a work shop with Dr. Newton and Dr. Lakshmi.

It was very intense, a powerful cleanser and we all came out grinning happily.

I will write about some of those things in future posts - it was on 'Chakra Consciousness'.

There, I met Ashish who had undergone an out - of - body experience.

I asked him if he would write it down for me and if I could share it in my blog.

He was willing, so, here you are !

This is his experience, verbatim-

'Let me introduce myself. I am Ashish Sharma. I am 38 years old and I live in Gujrat. We live in a joint family with my father, mother, my wife and 2 children ( 1 boy, 1 girl). We have our family business of manufacturing textile processing machines of 'Gayatri' make, very popular brand in textile profession in India.

The incident happened in my life 5 years back when I was very busy in my business, family and friends. I had nothing to do with spirituality. I did not know anything about soul or meditation or anybody connected to spirituality. I did not hear or read anything about out - of - body experience.

So one regular day I came home from our factory. I was a little tired so I went in my bedroom and closed the door and lay on my bed. It was about 8.30 in the evening.

I just closed my eyes and was just relaxing when I felt some tingling sensation in my legs. I did not mind it as I thought it was due to tiredness so was just lying down normally. But the tingling sensation started increasing and so my mind went there but before I could understand anything, I was feeling that my complete body had started vibrating and the vibration was going on increasing.

I could feel something running in my body and I could also hear sound like 'suuuuoooooo' which was also increasing. I was really very scared but before I could do anything, my whole body got locked. I could not move, not even my finger.

Now I could feel the vibration and sound to extreme level. I was really very much afraid. I could feel that with this heavy vibration inside my body, something is getting separated and has started to move inside my body.

My body could feel the movement and now I could feel that I was dying. I was experiencing the last moment of my life. Every incident of my life was coming in front of my eyes, all the people connected to me, friends, relatives, even all the people who were not good to me also came before my eyes.

I could feel love and forgiveness for everyone. I was resisting to leave my body but was helpless. Then all of a sudden, the last sound of zoooooooooooooooooooom I could hear and I was out of my body and I was being dragged or pulled upwards.

I was trying to come down in my body once again but I could not, as some power was dragging me upwards. At that time I was feeling very much worried of my parents, my children, my wife, what will they do?

Within few seconds I was out of this Earth's atmosphere and as soon as I was out of Earth's atmosphere, I was in a form of a ray and I was now detached from all the relations. Now I had nothing to do with anyone and now I started to travel in space. I don't know how many light years I had crossed in few seconds and now I could see many rays travelling in my opposite direction.

I kept on travelling and finally I reached a place where I saw a huge fall of light. It had no starting and no end. It was Very, Very Huge, Very Very Beautiful. I could not understand it's colour. It had so many colours. Many rays like me were coming out of it and moving away in different directions.

I watched it for some time then I went near it. I travelled parallel to it for some time but could not see it's end.

Then I entered it, and as soon as I entered it, I was very comfortable. It was the first time I experienced Bliss. I have no words to explain. I was enjoying the state of Bliss at that moment.

I was not ready to come out of this state.

At that time I could feel someone telling me to return back (It was not actually telling but by some other way of communication which I don't know how to tell). I was not ready to return back on my own so afterward I was pulled again back from the Light Fall and once again my return journey started and within few seconds I was back in my body.

As I came in my body, once again it took me few seconds to completely connect to my body. As I could not understand anything, I was very much blank. At that time my brain could not understand anything. I was just looking at my body trying to understand - What is it? and Where am I? I was looking at my fingers and moving them. I was trying to understand my body.

At that time, my wife opened the door and entered the room. I saw her and she was the first human being I felt I saw ( after entering my body). I was trying to remember her. I was thinking, somewhere I have seen her. All this was going on in my mind and I was just staring at her, trying to recognise her. My wife could not understand this. She was worried why I am behaving like that. She was asking me 'What happened? Why are you staring like that?'

At that time I was really feeling very thirsty. My throat was completely dry, my body neede water very badly but I could not say anything as I had forgotten the language. I had forgotten all the languages, all the words. I was feeling thirsty and needed water but I didn't know how to tell.

After a lot of hard effort I could only remember the word ' Water'. I said 'Water', my wife ran to the kitchen and got me water and as soon as I drank water I started recollecting my memory., Who I am- I soon recollected my complete memory in few seconds, then I stareted talking to my wife. She was very much afraid hearing about my experience.

But from that day, my life changed. I started my journey toward spirituality. I learnt meditation and now I am practicing meditation daily'.

I was - am jealous !

Anyone among you who has experienced something similar?

Please do share!

There is a particular description which is particularly astounding and moving, at the same time, it validates what I have read and believe.

The endless Light Fall from which sparks came out to start their journey - that's our source.

That's who all of us are, we are all Light Beings, each one of us.

No one is born in darkness, no one stays in darkness forever.

The rays which he saw going in directions opposite to him, they were Light bodies, spirits, who had chosen to start the journey to experience the joys and pains of Creativity.

Like we did, many lifetimes ago.

There was no pain or anguish or loneliness or ego in any of them.

There was eagerness to experience the adventures, the desire to have fun.

Isn't it a lovely account?!

There are some interesting questions which I will answer in the next post.

In the mean time, Smile! Laugh !

Life is Fun!

Enjoy!

Mercy Killing or Euthanasia

Hi Folks!

Be gentle with your life!

After all, you have chosen it yourself!

And the fact that you have forgotten this fact does not give you any rights to mess it up!

So become aware of your normal breath, right now, feel it coming in and going out a few times, and you will realize that your chattering mind has slowed down.

Life is simple.

Smile!

Let's take a great question from Omkar to begin with, then on to Ashutosh's very interesting question.

'How do you see a person who is bed - ridden for many years, may be decades, is wishing to die?

Another person who is feeling full filled from his life decides to die.

Some called 1st one mercy death.

How do you see it?

Is it a suicide or a choice?'

Well!

Remember our clever Maria from 'The Sound of Music'?!

'Lets start at the very beginning!

A very good place to start!

When you read, you begin with A B C !

When you sing you begin with Do - Re - Me-' !

When you begin your LIFE,

It's with 'Lessons to Learn'!

So let them be fun!

When you go to the Mall or the weekly Market with money, time and initial zest, but choose nothing, miss out on good bargains due to lack of courage, keep looking out for support but fail to recognize what's at hand, well, you will come back empty.

Not learning your lessons is like forgetting your shopping list, wasting your time and then having to go back again - and again.

We make our list of lessons to learn before we take birth.

Read the post on 'Pre - Birth Choice and Agreements".

These qualities - to - be - learnt are always the intangible ones like courage, forgiveness, love, supporting others, forgiveness and so on.

Sometimes, we see that we have hurt or caused a lot of pain to others.

So to make up, to personally experience what they went through, we choose a long drawn out illness or suffering.

It is a choice we have made in our In -Between states, when we are Complete Consciousness.

Sometimes, we have agreed to someone else's request for them it to learn patience and unconditional love which they have been unable to, and are now forced to look after us.

At other times, it could be to puncture our own ego along the way as no one wants to be dependent or a burden on someone else, though they may be our blood relations.

If a person who is bed-ridden for long puts a break on his own anger, helplessness and bitterness, if he tries to take what he has dished out to himself a little more quietly, he will be calmer in mind and be able to finish off his past Karmas without sowing seeds of new ones.

Awareness is really the key to evolution.

If you get in touch and stay in touch with yourself, all the helplessness goes away.

The Universe works on Logic, there is no bargaining, it's very, very just.

So however long the process, bear it.

Mercy Killing shows no mercy on anyone.

It is taking a life, it is suicide, and Nature's Laws do not permit it.

(Read the post on 'Suicide, a BIG Nooooooooo').

Wanting to end Life because one is feeling fulfilled is equally stupid.

You will keep paying for it over many lifetimes.

Believe me, you will!

I have mentioned this case before, I think -

A young man who loves his wife very much came to me for a Past Life Regression session.

She had left him and did not want to come back because 'though she loved him, she did not trust him'.

He went back to a PL in England when they were married, had 2 children and were very, very happy together.

Life was perfect, there was nothing more to achieve, so our friend slashed his wrists and died smiling, marvelling at how lucky he was, how wonderful life was.

He stayed in limbo, helplessly watching his dearly beloved wife struggle to bring up the 2 small children, educate them, get them married, and then sit in the same chair and slash her own wrists.

In this life, she is not forgiving him.

If you have others around dependent on you, maybe as family or workers or colleagues, this is doubly wrong.

In the next life, you have to pay for this stupidity too, which will make the next one that much harder.

So, no suicide or mercy-killing or euthanasia or whatever fancy name and fancier justification for it.

Now for Ashutosh's question-

Why this therapy is in light now? Why not in earlier times? Say 50 or 100 years. It would have been very successful when dark forces were ruling the world.

I believe, it is the wish of GOD or higher energy to help people to remove negativity, fear, and other emotional weakness before the GOLDEN AGE starts. We are moving towards LIGHT AGE or GOLDEN AGE very fast. Peoples should be ready to accept the gift from the GOD. Hence, it could be another way introduced to Mankind by GOD.

It seems to me that whatever happens, it happens in logical order. Many times, we try to understand the reasons behind it. Since our horizon is small, we are not been view the big picture, we fail to grasp the Great intelligence, planning, and caring behind the same.

Darker forces are ruling even now, if you look at what's happening within and around us.

Neither Science nor Astronomy nor Physics themselves were having an easy time 50 or 100 years ago, so Metaphysics was burnt at the stakes as witchery.

The Earth also evolves and is said to be moving to the next level of Consciousness.

The messages now coming from beyond through Automatic Writers and Psychics and so on, mention that the Earth people are now more open to receiving knowledge from beyond.

Hence such information will now be more important and faster in coming.

The Earth is said to be in it's 3rd stage, and as you know, it is still the stage to operate out of Fear.

You don't know?!

Read the post on 'Soul's 7 Stages', and those on 'Chakras".

Ashutosh is right in saying things happen in logical order.

People are more open to the power of the mind, energy, consciousness and spirit now than they were before.

We can and must do our bit to help ourselves!

Give out good vibrations.

Cleanse yourself.

Meditate. Meditate. Meditate.

Be an active part of the critical mass which will be instrumental in the change-over.

Bye for now!

Just Let It Be-

Hi Folks !

The new year has begun.

Visualize it as the nicest one you are going to experience.

Thank the Universe right now for this blessing.

Let it work out how to make it so for you.

It's so simple, really!

Trust it, and let go !

Let those niggling issues remain just a niggle, do not let them overwhelm.

Obstacles and problems will be there, they add spice to what would otherwise be a bland life.

As a small exercise, go back to 1st Jan 2010 and the state of your problems on that day.

Now think of 1st Jan 2011.

How many of those aches and sorrows, tensions and worries remain with the same intensity?

There you are !

Smile.

Give gratitude.

Life's wonderful - because of the small print!

To begin the new year, here's a lovely story sent some time ago by Dattaji.

Once Gautam Buddha was travelling with a few of his followers.

While they were passing a lake, the Buddha told one of his disciples,

"I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake."

The disciple walked up to the lake.

At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the waters of the lake.

As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid.

The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to the Buddha to drink?"

So he came back and said, "The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."

After about half an hour, the Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake.

The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy.

He returned and informed about the same.

After some more time, the Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down and the water was clean and clear.

He collected some in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.

The Buddha looked at the water.

Then he looked up at the disciple and said,

" See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be. The mud settled down on its own -- and you have clear water.

Your mind is like that too !

When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless."

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!

Wow!

He is something, isn't he?!

Let us take up a couple of questions now.

1.Can you please explain the meaning of "Time is an illusion"? I know the meaning on a very superficial level that time is not running away and we can have our ample time to learn our lessons and rise to the next stage of evolution
but I don't think this is it. Can you please explain this to me with some examples."

There was a similar question -

Is time passing or are we?!

When I am confronted with such interesting but seemingly intractable queries(and I myself used to have loads of them!), I follow an advice given in one of the Vipassana discourses.

Does this have a direct bearing on -

1. My suffering?

2.The cause of my suffering?

3. The removal of my suffering?

(That's 3 of the 4 Noble Truths!)

If the answer is Yes, look for the answer.

Where?

In the 4th one !

Follow the path!

Go inside your mind because that's where the question has come from, is going to stay, stagnate and stink and keep needling you.

So Meditate.

Still it.

If the answer is No, remove all such time - wasting clever techniques used by the mind to keep us from controlling it.

How?

Well, Meditate!

Read today's story again !

There's another question.

I had chosen my parents and they had chosen me as their daughter before I was born. However, when I wasn't born, they were alive, so how did we take this decision? Did my soul meet their astral bodies when they were fast asleep and we decided this? Please let me know.

There is a Level of Consciousness we all go to after the body dies.

It's the In-Between Stage, between 2 lifetimes.

(That's our real home and all of us are goinghome! not just shubhayeri !)

To understand this, go through the posts -

1. Pre - Birth Choice and Agreements and

2.The Soul's 7 stages.

We start as a group of 150 to 200.

After each lifetime, we take stock of things learnt, yet to learn and how best to go about it.

First we choose our individual lessons to learn , to evolve.

Next, from our group, we select the best possible supporting and challenging cast for the show and request them to be our mother/father/sibling/spouse/friend/enemy etc.

Our spiritual guides are present when future lives are planned. They advice and give their blessings to us.

There is an exchange of thoughts, most of us do take time over this, so no life is an accident, nor a coincidence.

The parents are born, get married, then have us.

Some times, we wait for a particular spirit to be our parent for our own special reason.

Those who are in the first 3 levels of consciousness, are not really aware of the In - Between stages and race to take a new birth.

As each one evolves, there is learning there too.

That's what you and your parents too have done.

So !

Love life, treat every day with the respect and care it deserves.

Be Happy !
