Felt Like I Was Dying?

[DizIzMikey]

So I labeled everything in my mind as a belief for awhile, than after awhile I felt the back of my head tensing up, couldnt latch onto any words or thoughts, than umm this word I comes out, i i i o, but labeled that as a belief as well, and than I literally felt like I was going to die! The back of my head starts tensing the fuck up.. the reptilian part Im thinking, and I felt like I was gonna fucking die if i kept labelling everything as a belief no joke... am I doing something wrong here? Do I have to die to reach enlightenment and if so, why not just jump off a building to obtain it? I dont wanna lose my daughter...

 

Is there not a way to soothe myself into enlightenment through just do nothing meditation or should I just constantly say belief in my head frustrate my ego and mind than die? I mean.. wtf is going on here? I have red spots all over my fucking face after this sense of dying occured i felt like my head was gonna pop...

What is dying - is your conceptual image you (and imprinting) created. 

If those feelings occur again, let it be. You'll experience first hand that actually... YOU cannot DIE ! 

That right there, is your ticket for freedom. One of them. There'll be others.

@Ayla It's scary as shit though, I'm scared of losing my daughter, but I might try it, might do normal meditation for awhile, im so scared of losing her tbh which is influenced me to do do nothing meditation

 

Thank you Ayla for your commment, don't feel so alone now

Have you ever heard of "whatever you resist - persists?" 

Let go of the fear. It is just a thought. You are thinking a thought about another thought... in other words, you're looping

Sounds like you opened your pineal gland? It's a small gland in your forehead that can potentially open if you meditate on it hard enough, which people have described as the feeling of something popping in your head, and some new agers call it the third eye. It's not a bad thing, in fact a lot of people seek to open it. (Also I kind of also believe what you experienced might have just been a panic attack?)

Also, where did you get the idea that you have to die to attain enlightenment? Once you die you feel nothing, there is no enlightenment. You achieve enlightenment while you're alive, many people have done it.

Hey Mikey, how long do you meditate? When i first started i had crazy fears of dying, getting murdered ( i thought while meditation that someone is standing behind me a monster or something ) and going insane... *those were the days*

Those fears disappeared within a week after facing them thou and now looking back some month i´m glad i did.

What i wanna say is this: "YOU" won´t die, but the part of you that fears dying will die/disolve. 

[DizIzMikey]

@Falk they did dissolve, and i was left with nothing in my mind but the word belief and i still feel like death was approaching but without feeling fear.

@Falk I meditate sporidically unfortunately very often, but lately 30 mins a day, might miss two days of the week.

Hey buddy I  also felt the same. 

That's why I am waiting someone else to first die and see.

I am not gonna risk my life for any enlightenment.

And also enlightenment is not guaranteed. May be I die without enlightenment and this all in vain.

One thing I am sure is that if you are alive then only there is enlightenment.

@DizIzMikey @Lyn Yeah sounds like an OBE. pretty rare though.. Out of body experience. where you float up out of your body and you can shoot around space and through walls and stuff.. lucky bugger.. Ive been trying this for ages..

If you felt a buzzing, loud hum in your hearing or a weird sensation like your dissociating with your body.. check out lucid dream tricks on youtube..
