I will test on this thread to see if it was just blocked on one thread or if the site itself blocks it.

Good, it was just that thread that blocked it. hf

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I've had some spiritual experiences in the past, but so far I've always found it difficult to focus on what they were trying to teach me later on... like dreams slipping through my fingers after a while.

Re: A Spiritual Experience that Answered as Much as it Created New Sets of Questions
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?
 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.
 Quoting: ElectricKoolaid


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.
 Quoting: ByFaithAlone


What I'd really like to have happen is to have that intimate connection again all of the time...it's sort of waned a bit (or maybe I've just gotten used to it now). I still feel that surge of knowledge and awareness, but it's not as captivating as it once was.

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?
 Quoting: ElectricKoolaid


That is exactly what I mean by something illuding you. Now is it their because you lack something your capacity or is it their for a reason. What is that reason? I can assure you their are layers upon layers all veiled and your expieriance was a breaking of those layers. You KNOW this deep inside. Now you must make sense of it. That is the story of your journey. The answers are right their for you to have. The question is will you reach it or spend your life running in circles so to say.hf

I have to step out for a little bit. I will check on your thread when I get back home.hugs


Thanks for the thread I always love yours :-)

Re: 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
Similar thing happened to me, OP; however I was on the other end of the spectrum prior to it (pure Atheist, more of an Agnostic), but I really wasn't open-minded about any of what I dubbed spiritual nonsense at the time.

3+ days of involuntary astral projection, and OBE's, plus a string of coincidences that were the oddest occurrences I've ever experienced culminating with a lucid dream that sounds extremely like your experience of "downloading" information, will change you. And for the better.

Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

that got deceived by the satanic new age? You're not the first and probably not the last. Charmismania and New age are very close to each other so I guess it's easy for people to get suckered in.

Not Enlightenment. Enlightenment is not a relative/dualistic experience, and it is incredibly traumatic to return from too. A light in your perception along with other symptoms might suggest cosmic consciousness possibly, though more would be needed to make that evaluation.

"There is the feeling that you are not doing it yourself, but that it is somehow happening on its own, and you wonder whether you will lose it—as indeed you may if you try forcibly to hold on to it. In immediate contrast to the old feeling, there is indeed a certain passivity to the sensation, as if you were a leaf blown along by the wind, until you realize that you are both the leaf and the wind. The world outside your skin is just as much you as the world inside: they move together inseparably, and at first you feel a little out of control because the world outside is so much vaster than the world inside. Yet you soon discover that you are able to go ahead with ordinary activities—to work and make decisions as ever, though somehow this is less of a drag. Your body is no longer a corpse which the ego has to animate and lug around. There is a feeling of the ground holding you up, and of hills lifting you when you climb them. Air breathes itself in and out of your lungs, and instead,of looking and listening, light and sound come to you on their own. Eyes see and ears hear as wind blows and water flows. All space becomes your mind. Time carries you along like a river, but never flows out of the present: the more it goes, the more it stays, and you no longer have to fight or kill it."-A.watts

Re: A Spiritual Experience that Answered as Much as it Created New Sets of Questions
Congrats OP hf

Everyone will have an spiritual awaking at some point in their life if you generate love and compassion from ones heart. Pieces of the puzzle will come together and you will remember who you really are.


You are not a human having a spiritual experience, you are a spirit, having a human experience. You are awakening!


Others that have not had this experience, your time is coming very soon.

Love not fear
Spirituality is the opposite of religion, religion is a substitute for spirituality. Spirituality is a direct connection to Creator The Most high.

Anyone who inflicts pain on others will suffer themself from that pain.

Re: A Spiritual Experience that Answered as Much as it Created New Sets of Questions
OP I got some negative karma from my reply in this thread too.

But I'll take it, it's expected when you start finding truth, naturally you want to share it. Unfortunately though, it's always going to be a solitary journey - it's an experience through self. There is one universal truth and the path is narrow. Don't worry about the judgements of others OP, people spend way too much time trying to project things on others instead of worrying about themselves. You've seen a light, you want to share it, but truth is others must find the light on their own accord. You know your personal truth, that's all that matters. Good on you.

Re: 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...

It is NOT this or that.
It is this AND that.

A lot what so called Christians do hear from
the churches and interpretations of the scriptures,
is actually NOT what really is.

They do hear interpretations from others and
finally after 2000 years a lot is changed.

A lot of so-called Christians are very hatefull,
full of fear and anger. They can't even understand
the words of the books.

But You will see, it is not all trash.
You will see a lot will fall into place.

It is this AND that.
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.

"leave my job, my wife, and my home and pursue my destiny."

That is far from love. You are playing the devil's game.

Pray - talk to God. The same God who came to earth and sacrificed himself to pay our dues and with his blood he washed away our sins. Talk to Him. Talk...!
