@SoonHei Yea exactly, that is a sure fire way of getting swallowed up (bringing your ego into an area like this). This is a subject that deserves nothing but total respect. Not just something you want to enter just for curiosity sake or for shits and giggles.

@SoonHei O.K. I say this with hesitation but I was a part of this years ago. Carlos Castaneda opened up this world to me. I'll say this- You really gotta know what your doing before you venture into this or you could be opening a can of worms that you may end up wishing you never opened. I'm not saying this reality isn't just as real as any reality. There are many realities that are just as valid as you allow them to be.

@DecemberFlower Somebody around here was interested in exactly this about 2 weeks ago. Leo replied to him "Be careful what you wish for" or something to that effect. The next week he was back saying he bit off Waaayy more than he could handle. Just a word of truth.

Maybe you are unconsciously summoning the spirit world. Does that sound like a better possibility in your mind?

@DecemberFlower The mind is creating a diversion so it can keep you from seeing truth within stillness.

@InfinitePotential

@Cortex Only you would know for sure. Has it happened before under ordinary circumstances or mostly when you meditate?

@brugluiz I'm not a medical professional nor do I know exactly what you experienced but it sounds like you may have experienced something similar to an enlightenment experiance. When you said It felt as if "everything was connected" is a sure sign.

@RichardY The cult of personality?

Cults 'R' Us has a rather large selection.

@lmfao I just have to look in the mirror to spot one. Once you've seen one, you can spot 'em all.

@Jack River It was a lot like this pic. Think of it as an entities very first baby picture before conception. I know, that some crazy shit!

@Cortex Your seeing through the veil. There is no such thing as "the experiance of reality". So why should you hold on to it? Or maybe you didn't go that far?

@riplo For the most part it's really all about the amount of time it takes the ego to fully erode. Most are so invested and lost in the ego when first starting they will be needing some words to help guide them out of the dream of self as it is happening. It took X amount of years to build the illusion. It usually doesn't crumble overnight.

@robdl That one is my artistic expression of awakening through the use of photography. "The Gateless-gate of ego death". Glad you found it familiar in some way. I've seen it too in meditation even before the photo was taken.

@Faceless You paint your pictures with words. Nothing wrong with that!

@Faceless The same between you and Dali. Can you paint your insights as good as you can put them into words?

@Faceless Can't help but thinking about Salvador Dali when you talk about time and fragmentation.

@Jack River This is wild. Something just appeared as I was going into meditation. It was what I am at the core of being. It appeared as a circle in the center and from there was a repeating geometric pattern radiating out from it. It's what comes out of the absolute as manifestation in its embryonic stage and is before the "I am" comes.

@Recursoinominado Here's a good story that relates in a way to your situation. It's a short one but has a truth to it that can last a lifetime.

That's Faceless.

@MiracleMan That will make for one clean shaven face!

@Arkandeus You should have just thrown the head away.

"You know there's no way I can hang in a cage man" A quote from the movie but it fits here too- the absence of (doing time).

@Jack River You ever see the movie "Point Break". The ending of it?
