More UNITED than we realize!
Mystical Experiences & Kundalini Tales. Tell me about yours!
I have been blessed to have several.
I have been blessed to read about Lon's in My Life with Spirit, which in some way spurs me on here....
In another forum - not here, I asked a similar question, perhaps because in the book I was reading at the time, it indicated that spiritual evolution was somehow marked by lightning strikes : ) And I had not yet had one : )
The response I got was a stern retort that we "should not talk about those kinds of things"
At the time I though it was silly - how do we know if we have had one if we cannot talk about it? How do we know it was not just our imagination? How do we know that it counts? LOL!!!!!
I am now at a point where frankly I don't care IF IT IS our imagination - whatever it was it changed me : ) for the better : ) and I would LOVE to share mine and hear about yours.....
I will start with my most recent.....
About a month ago I had been spending a lot of time asking to meet my higher self - I - anyway, one night I was playing guitar and listening to singing the lyrics of a song we were playing -
I went out wandering
through streets paved with gold
lifted some stone saw the skin and bones
of a city without a soul
I went out wandering
under an atomic sky
where the ground won't turn
and the rain it burns
like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I left with nothing
nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering
And when I was singing in my head - "nothing but the thought of you"
I sang it to my higher self
All of a sudden, the clouds parted, and my higher self -winked at me
It was so strong and so sexual, and so blissful, and so emotional - and I was left with the sadness of the knowledge that is was only my limitation - my inability to contain any more of it than a wink, that prevented me from having more than a wink
Like I would be burned by it it was so bright....
It was amazing : )
AMAZING : )
AMAZING!
And so now I am expanding my container : )

WOW Honey - what a Great Story!!
Every hour on the hour is XTREME - in the rockstar sense for sure : )
It seems it was a valuable undertaking indeed.
I think as you have pointed to - these experiences can seem silly to people - particularly those that have never had any at all - so the idea of aliens, or "poiks" - another story I will tell, or people blossoming into flowers, or even HGA's are very hard to talk about. SOme of my experiences I have no words for at all - bliss / love / unity are such a small words, and been so overused.
But THANK YOU for sharing - and of course for your enlightening education.

I think the "lightning strikes" may be a phrase for the quick flashes and states that allow a glimpse to the worlds beyond the mind. There are a variety of mystical experiences with lightning, thunder, and electricity, though.
I try to look at everything in the context in which it appears. When you mention clouds, do you mean the actual water clouds above? psychedelic clouds, or the clouds of metaphysical beings? Often enough, I experience phenomenon like unusual weather in prayer, meditation and sleep. Other times it is psychedelic clouds and such. Whilst other times I pear past the trip of the mind and glimpse the metaphysical, my own soul & spirit or The Three created realms other then the one with humans. Once through my soul, I saw my spirit enshrouded by a Light Being (MLAKh/Unfallen Angel/Devi).
A particularly important one for me was at Multnomath falls in Oregon, I climbed the east side of the trail to perform up the mount, on September 23, 2000: I realised my emotional, will, soul, and spirit bodies. Each accepted The Way of Peace and Submission (to The Will of The God [Fatalism and blind faith are not considered acceptable in that path, so that isn't what I mean.). It didn't take a vision from beyond to change my life. I just had to get better aquainted with my body, mind, emotions, will, soul, and spirit.

Hello my love,
You are correct. I did mean "lightning strikes" as a quick flashes allowed a glimpse to the worlds beyond the mind. The clouds were also metaphorical : )
I am most intrigued by what you have describe on this site today and on other dates. You have been blessed : )
As far as your emotional, will, soul, and spirit bodies, each accepting The Way of Peace and Submission, that makes sense to me : )

Vanese:
In June 1978, after a number of fruitless years of trying to understand the scriptures symbolically I was getting nowhere quickly when all of a sudden while meditating on Mathew's gospel I had a spiritual vision.
I was studying many sects of Christianity, which were mostly were horrible experiences because of the swill they prattled about. I believe the soul vomits when it is on the wrong path and this is the indication to get out fast in all haste in what you are doing. So from one tiresome sect of Christianity to another I wandered in the wilderness of the mind of man. I now study the teachings and symbolism of Catholicism.
I had just begun to study the metaphysical teaching of Mary Baker Eddy in the winter of 1976/1977 after studying the bible for a few years. In the December 30, 1977 I was healed by Christian Science (Mental Chemicalization) of a two and a half pack of cigarette a day habit instantaneously. Such a shock to the psyche is mind-changing. I had stopped drinking alcholic beverages in August 1974 so I know of the mind (opening up like a flower) blossoming when mind-altering drugs are stopped.
The desire to know the purpose to life was more important to me than life itself. I had no real knowledge as to whether God existed or not: at best at this time I was an agnostic. I neither believed or disbelieved in God, however, previous to that I was an atheist. I did not know where to turn to obtain true knowledge of life. I started with the age old tried and proven ways of the Bible and I was literally horrified by the barbaric stories embedded in what Jews and Christians called their sacred scriptures. And as I said I was getting nowhere quickly.
When all of a sudden in the twinkling of an eye "I saw the sum total of all knowledge" I was given "a glimpse of eternity". I was going down a tunnel at the speed of light into the light and my mind was peppered with billions of pieces of data explaining to me from every conceivable angle that there was no such thing as death. All of this happened in a nanosecond. When it was over I knew that that LIGHT was my true home.
I had heard of the life after death experience of going down tunnels and this obviously was such a vision but the difference is that I was wide awake mediating on Mathew's gospel. I was not dying unless you can say at that time my soul was in the dark night of the soul. Later I would understand the tunnel to be a grave and it would take billions of years for the dirt to disappear from around my bones into the light of day. I then understood that billions of years was as a nanosecond to God.
The sum total of all knowledge is omniscience, which has been defined as God. It is said that no man sees God and lives. Well, all I can say is that I am not the same person after the vision as before. I was given the gift of seeing patterns where other did not see them. This is why I can see mathematical patterns in the sacred scriptures and to be able to write about them so others can also see them.
I believe that what happen to me was that I had the Kundalini experience where the transcendent opened up to me and allowed me a vision of my true home: the home of all lifeforce in existence. This vision, which took place more than thirty years ago, is still encouraging me each time I reflect back upon it.

Oh my LOVE what a fabulous and evocative description.
I HAVE touched that - for a second I understood - everything - the only thing I could retain and bring forth was what we ( Chance and I ) laugh at as "the doughnut" - I "understood" this to be the shape of everything. It is AMAZING and seductive and enlightening!
Chance has been chasing his "dragon" since his first Kundalini experience. I do not know if I would describe mine in that way : )
THANK YOU for sharing!!!

It was an experience that was to change my life forever.
One evening, when I was 25 and a student in law school who was training to become an attorney, I was meditating and had a profound, mystical experience of what felt to me to be a “divine presence”. I was clearly aware of this presence as a nonphysical, sentient being that was above me, over my left shoulder, that was radiating to me the most profound, all-encompassing love that I had ever experienced – a love far surpassing any human love that I had ever known - a love that was total, unconditional, absolute. I knew, then, from that time forward, that my life was to be totally dedicated to my being on a path of the Divine - that nothing mattered more than being in the presence of the Divine, attuning to the Divine, living a spiritual life intuitively guided by the Divine and that I would endeavor to embody more and more of the Divine in my thoughts, words and actions.
During this experience, I recalled that I’d had one other experience similar to this, but not nearly as intense or powerful. I experienced what seemed to be the same presence once before at the age of 7 while I was sitting in an upstairs balcony during a church service. At that time, I also felt a presence, a nonphysical being, above me and over my left shoulder, blessing me with an energy of profound love, peace and well being beyond anything I’d experienced in the physical world. This earlier experience was wonderful reassurance that there was, indeed, a Divine Presence in my life – one that was beyond the physical world and therefore of a higher, “Divine” dimension. This reinforced my belief that God was a living presence in my life.
During my years in college, there was a time when science-based teachings had turned me away from a belief in God. It was during that time that Time magazine had come out with a cover story declaring “GOD IS DEAD,” though I was skeptical that the writers of this article had any real proof by which to proclaim this.
Shortly after my “mystical experience” I put my newly rediscovered faith in God to the test. A week after the experience, after a Saturday night of partying until 5 a.m., I decided to go to a church service that Sunday morning, which was to begin at 11 a.m. I wanted to awaken at 10 a.m. I could have set an alarm, but felt a great faith that God would awaken me. I affirmed that God would do so. So, I went to sleep at 5 a.m. trusting that God would, indeed, awaken me at 10 a.m. At precisely 10 a.m., I was awakened by a loud shattering noise in the room. A miracle had taken place. A mirror which I’d had sitting on the floor leaning backward against a wall had overcame the gravity of its lean against the wall and lunged forward and down onto a lantern lamp that was sitting on the floor by my bed. I call it a miracle because what had happened was a physical impossibility -- from a scientific point of view. Also, the fact that it was in perfect response to my request to be awakened by God at 10 a.m. was a powerful demonstration that God (or an agent of God) had, indeed, heard my request or “prayer” and responded to it perfectly and precisely on time. One of my law school housemates, Robert Terzian, was a witness to the shattered lantern lamp with the mirror atop it and I recounted to him what had happened. From that time forward, I didn’t doubt that God was present in my life, could respond to my communications and was truly there for me!

WOW - that is really a very physical experience isn't it! We really do seem to get what we ask for - it never ceases to amaze me!

My own most striking experience was almost thirty years ago. I was exploring Qabalah at the time, and one night while meditating on the Sephira, visualising them mapped onto my body, I felt a strange energy in my feet. Trying to stabilise it in my imagination, it suddenly bounced up via my heart chakra and exploded in my head as a burst of white light.
Extraordinary! It have wondered for many years what it 'meant' but I think it was activation of energy and information about who I am and the pathway which I have followed.

Am I the only one who wasn't doing anything esoteric or mystically mysterious to get hit with that Force? 9-11 was an inside job... that's all i knew at the time besides how to feed and cloth myself basically. Now I can't even communicate with 95% of the asleeple anymore. Que lastima.

I know exactly what you mean JB!
It's pretty much the main problem, er, challenge, in my life at present.
In fact I think it is 'the' big problem in the world. Most people just don't know how to think, they are stuck in maladaptive ruts and resent anyone who even suggests different, more conscious ways of doing things.
So the response I have developed, am developing for myself, is, insofar as is possible, to keep my own energy and pathway to myself, but this is not the easiest thing in the world, we are none of us islands, but part of the continuum of universal consciousness, just hopefully at nodes of greater awareness.
If people generally started thinking then most of the issues with respect to the environment, NWO and so forth would dissipate most rapidly.
