A Spiritual Experience that Answered as Much as it Created New Sets of Questions
On 13 March 2013 I had an extraordinary spiritual experience. I will try and keep it brief so it's readable.

I had a spontaneous Sahasrara Awakening. It was incredible. I literally saw a light in the upper-left portion of my peripheral vision that I couldn't discover the source of. It remained for three days.

Previous to this experience I was a die-hard Christian. Typical GOP member, etc. This put into question every single thing I'd ever learned in my lifetime. It was nothing like anything I'd ever been taught...and it confirmed things that seemed to contradict a lifetime of searching with actual answers.

During that 3-day period I was in a state of mind where it seemed like I was "spiritually downloading" information and my life's purpose. Everything became very apparent whenever I would read a subject or really involve myself in anything. I saw life completely differently - managing to incorporate Buddhist beliefs into my life rather quickly, even though I'd only roughly scanned the subjects during my 30+ years. I instantly KNEW everything that was meaningful to me spiritually (and even tangibly). I saw the "game" of life...and that the majority of us were pawns to different paradigms - i.e. religious, political, and social. I believe it was Enlightenment...the Awakening...

It wasn't anything I was searching out, but it was preceded by a tremendous life upheaval and change in everything from the top-down in my life. In February I felt this pressing desire to leave my job, my wife, and my home and pursue my destiny. Little did I know that it would lead to such a thing...

And slowly, over the past 6 months, it's as if all of the things that I'd only dreamed about my entire life are suddenly coming to me without any effort whatsoever. It's almost as if I just waggle my finger a little bit and the spells cast themselves...

Where it's been confusing is it has almost completely eliminated my need for anything beyond this experience. I'm in a position where I'm not sure about the existence of deity beyond a superconscious Creator...it has even put into question the idea of Jesus, which is, in some ways, hard to abandon...I'm not sure if/how that part of the "story" fits in any more. It always made sense to me previous to this, but now I'm wondering if this is just the goal of every living being - to abandon the things we WANT to be true, for the things that really are true.

It's been this tidal wave of realization and perception. I've never felt closer, and yet farther, from KNOWING. Has anyone else ever had this happen? I know I'm going to get some vitriol here, but I'm prepared for it...as I've already gone the rounds with some family members who can't even comprehend what's occurred and who cling to their own ideologies so tightly that one would be lucky to pry them from their cold, dead hands. ;)

Thanks for responding. I have a busy day today, but I'll do my best to keep the conversation going if it starts up...

Re: A Spiritual Experience that Answered as Much as it Created New Sets of Questions
Thought I should include this for people who haven't studied on it. I had to do a LOT of searching to figure out what happened...as my previous faith didn't have any of the answers.

What's unusual about this is I used to actually make fun of this stuff in my previous "religion"...now I'm on the flipside of things and it's a strange place to be in, spiritually and socially.

Seventh Chakra: Sahasrara
The seventh center (Sahasrara) is the chakra which integrates all the chakras with their respective qualities. It is the last milestone of the evolution of human awareness. Nowadays, we are at a level which corresponds to this chakra, and our consciousness is able to easily enter into this new realm of perception, which is beyond our limited mind and concepts, and which becomes absolute at the level of the Sahasrara. It is the direct, absolute perception of Reality on our central nervous system.

You described what you had. A spiritual awakening. I'd suggest you seek the truth. All the religions are based in some truth although I believe the Christian religion has a smaller fragment than the rest. You can choose to ignore it however I doubt that will happen. Perhaps look for the Pheonix Jornals for answers. Welcome to the new age of truth.

I've been there. To me it seems only natural he closer you get to real truth the more some things don't make sense the more questions you have. It is to me clear because of this that the journey is most important.

I would like to ask for my own curiosity what is it about Jesus or Biblical concepts that no longer fits for you?

I have gone through a similar thing a couple times. First time was at a low point near suicide when I was about 21.
And again about 18 years later when unemployed for 6 months. These are awakenings... rebirths, new instructions being delivered. They can last for weeks or months at a high level until the new paradigm is incorporated in your brain. Whether from god or from your subconscious, it is a chance to change your future by changing your thoughts. What are your true goals and what are the obstacles that YOU have created to prevent them. That is what this is about. Dont get too dragged into esoteric realms... that is the part of you tjat is resisting and trying to throw out distractions from the message. The ego is terrified of change and will misdirect you with false euphoria and lead you into the cul de saq of.. "I'm special". I can share more if you are interested.

 Quoting: ByFaithAlone


Well, when I had the experience I was suddenly able to read between the lines of spiritual texts, especially during that 3-day period. It seemed to me that the events/teachings being described in the Bible were the same things being evidenced in other spiritual texts. That there wasn't anything there that really separated it other than our interpretations of the information.

You see this expressed in other forms of "accepted deity" in other religions - that there is an overarching set of truths that speak to what is really going on, versus what we interpret to be happening.

When I started to really discover what's behind Jesus and the story we've always associated with his life, I see another individual who has Awakened and nothing more. The questions that come from this now is, is it necessary to have a "Savior" or a "Son of God"? Or is it simply just another teacher who has not only Awoken (as many have), but is at such a high level of spirituality and perception that they're able to will things into existence.

This is probably the single greatest thing I've found all by myself - that the law of attraction is really true. There are agreements being made between you and your spirit constantly, and most of them are dictated by the mind rather than the spirit, leaving you to sort of "twist in the wind" in a lot of different ways.

Since this happened to me it's almost as if I see a nudging of my self into actual control of my environment. It could get pretty "Matrix" here, so I'll keep it at that, but there really is some sort of spiritual matrix at play here...not the technological one represented in the movie.

This experience changed everything about me fundamentally. Collapsing my entire set of ideologies, including my social and political ones. It's as if this Awakening was the peek behind the curtain where I saw the Wizard and went, "OOOOOOOOOOH! I GET IT NOW!"

It was the most simple, yet complex, occurrence of my lifetime...it has posed a whole new series of questions and experiences that I never would have even entertained previously because "I knew everything I wanted to know, and believed the rest solidly enough to not care to even examine it."

Hope that answers your question.

Re: A Spiritual Experience that Answered as Much as it Created New Sets of Questions
Sounds like you're on the right track OP.

In truth, all religions tell the same story, but people hold on to 1 particular religion and get upset when they are told that their faith is no different. It all tells the same story, all leads back to the Phoenix and a rebirth from the ashes of an egg. Bill from hidden meanings (dot com) does a good job connecting all the religions, he has some seminars on YouTube.

Buddhism does a good job of at least explaining that it starts inside you with the energy centers. What real Christianity is, is a detailed account of building the altar to god/ communication with god. It's simply an instruction manual, and the funny thing is, you can't even read it right until after you have built (like a carpenter) the altar. It's only after you have built it, when the bible will actually make sense. Hidden in plain sight the whole time, pretty epic.

Yes yes and yes, you do get spiritual downloads. Everything exists because of sound/frequency/vibration - you are like a divine super computer. I get them from connecting to source (direct connection via electromagnetic energy flow to the third eye) and when I wake up in the morning.

Third eye is where it is at. The pineal/pituitary gland when vibrating in unison, unites the polarity of the mind and connects you to source. Source is at the center of the galaxy (sagg A - emits radio waves). I have a thread 'third eye marriage of mind' if you do a search and are interested in my method for connecting to source.

Thank you for replying. I agree with you on so many things it really is a way to see the very differently than most can. For me the truth lays within the limits. That no matter the laws of attraction, the power of truth you will find yourself only able to do so much. What separates is why we believe that is.

I would implore you to test you limits over time and see where you are left. My thought is you will reach them and then have to decide why? Is it you and your capacity (is it really limitless)or was it placed there for a reason.

That is how my journey has been maybe yours will be different but I don't think the ties that separate all of us are very different at all.

Your awakening is the beginning of a magnificent journey to home. A journey that will have many peaks and valleys and if you are ever in a place were your foundations of what you believe now are shaken I would be happy to help you.

I feel like you can sense you are on the threshhold of it all but something is illuding you. That is what you reach for and ask why.

There is something more to all of this that I can't put my finger on...I suppose there are other "levels" to be uncovered?

On 13 March 2013 I had an extraordinary spiritual experience. I will try and keep it brief so it's readable.

I had a spontaneous Sahasrara Awakening. It was incredible. I literally saw a light in the upper-left portion of my peripheral vision that I couldn't discover the source of. It remained for three days.

Previous to this experience I was a die-hard Christian. Typical GOP member, etc. This put into question every single thing I'd ever learned in my lifetime. It was nothing like anything I'd ever been taught...and it confirmed things that seemed to contradict a lifetime of searching with actual answers.

During that 3-day period I was in a state of mind where it seemed like I was "spiritually downloading" information and my life's purpose. Everything became very apparent whenever I would read a subject or really involve myself in anything. I saw life completely differently - managing to incorporate Buddhist beliefs into my life rather quickly, even though I'd only roughly scanned the subjects during my 30+ years. I instantly KNEW everything that was meaningful to me spiritually (and even tangibly). I saw the "game" of life...and that the majority of us were pawns to different paradigms - i.e. religious, political, and social. I believe it was Enlightenment...the Awakening...

It wasn't anything I was searching out, but it was preceded by a tremendous life upheaval and change in everything from the top-down in my life. In February I felt this pressing desire to leave my job, my wife, and my home and pursue my destiny. Little did I know that it would lead to such a thing...

And slowly, over the past 6 months, it's as if all of the things that I'd only dreamed about my entire life are suddenly coming to me without any effort whatsoever. It's almost as if I just waggle my finger a little bit and the spells cast themselves...

Where it's been confusing is it has almost completely eliminated my need for anything beyond this experience. I'm in a position where I'm not sure about the existence of deity beyond a superconscious Creator...it has even put into question the idea of Jesus, which is, in some ways, hard to abandon...I'm not sure if/how that part of the "story" fits in any more. It always made sense to me previous to this, but now I'm wondering if this is just the goal of every living being - to abandon the things we WANT to be true, for the things that really are true.

It's been this tidal wave of realization and perception. I've never felt closer, and yet farther, from KNOWING. Has anyone else ever had this happen? I know I'm going to get some vitriol here, but I'm prepared for it...as I've already gone the rounds with some family members who can't even comprehend what's occurred and who cling to their own ideologies so tightly that one would be lucky to pry them from their cold, dead hands. ;)

Thanks for responding. I have a busy day today, but I'll do my best to keep the conversation going if it starts up...

Did you divorce?

I'm currently in the process of divorce.

I also got my dream job during this "process"...among other miracles. Nothing short of miracles. And I haven't even needed to pray for them...they just kinda happen when I concentrate on my "needs" and fulfilling my life's purpose.

What's the dream job?

I could sure use an experience like that in my life, hehe.

Then you can actually look back at Christianity and the Scriptures and realize there is a lot more to them than the surface layers, its the Tao and the transformation of the person from a son/daughter of man to the a son/daugher of God, awakening on the right frequency.

For some reason this site blocks an incredibly good source, that takes these metaphors and explains it clearly.

Its called the Spirit of Scripture, you have to google it for some nazi's here blocked it at least when I try to post the links, which is unbelievable.

That is where Spirit led me and real understanding of what is under the hood shines. But then you also have to wonder, did those who write these metaphors, mean for them to become an outer religion, and thus are responsible for misleading people, and not truly living what they have written, OR were these writings hijacked and made into a religion, something they were not meant to become.
The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist.
The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist.
Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light!
