When you get a chance, please share some of the more. Your experience sounds a little familiar. Have you ever posted it on an NDE site?
Greetings to you Recover and all you other seeker/travellers.
There is more to this special awakening I had that time twenty years ago.Haven't had an OBE since btw..Somehow I feel it wasn't necessary for my spiritual progress.I have often thought that, shall we say the "Higher Self" is very economic with the lessons it dishes out."IT" is not into repetition to cater to the earthly ego self and its enduring needs.At the time I lived in the country of my birth Tasmania better known as Van Diemens Land.A beautifull Island south of Australia, said by clairvoyants and others as "the Holy Island of the Pacific"Many special souls have incarnated on this isle(not saying I am special btw) but acknowledging the others who have given gifts to this Planet.I have met Americans who were living there and told me that the place was so unique and beautifull they didn't even want to tell people about the place,guess they thought it would become inundated with people which would spoil its "soul".
Anyway let me get to the point...I was a therapist doing a wonderfull therapy for healing the hurts,pains and trauma that people suffered when incarnating into the world.IT was at the time very radical approach.I had a very special group which met together regularly,we were close friends.My partner at the time was an extremely psychic person,so much so that being with her I felt I had feet in two different worlds, this earthly one and the other,"the unseen"
A man arrived in Hobart the capital of Tasmania and his name he gave himself was "Solo Sun Singer"he used to love meeting groups and leading the Indian chant evenings called "Bahjan".Well this time he turned up with these capsules of mysterious stuff we had never heard of before and the name of it was Exstacy it was an unknown and legal mainly because it was an new unknown.The "Thought Police" didn't know about it.So my group began to try it with amazing experience.
So one beautifull day we met and decided to take it as a sacrament, we meditated for a short while and then took the capsules( you can't get them like that these days).
After a short while all of the group except me decided to go for a walk(Lived half way up the slopes of Mt Wellington where there was lovely walks)I was left alone in the house and I felt myself sinking into deep meditation more deeply than ver before in my life.May I say this was completely spontaneous I had no idea of what was next to happen.
I felt myself going inwards deeper and deeper,the conscious part of me made an observation and silently made a note"my god how far can I go into this depth?"of inwardness I felt the further I went into this "Inness" the more space I felt.
I became aware of the others returning, my partner came to me and saw what was happening and said out loud I guess to me..."change his clothes and move him to the session room" By that time I had difficulty moving myself she changed my clothes into some sort of robe and with her help I staggered to the "session" room a beautifull room btw.Looking out onto a fragrant garden of azaleas and trees etc.She said get him cushions I lay back and also she put on some music of Vangelis which I loved called "Opera Sauvage" I lay back on the cushions and she said to me"Look into my eyes!!"BY that time all the group were around me including children..I looked into her eyes and felt my eyes starting to vibrate and moving up into my sockets, I felt myself falling inwards again and then I sat up again as if stopping the inward movement.Again she said "Look into my eyes" I did and then and my eyes vibrated strangely and I fell back onto the cushions my eyes right up into the sockets(thats the death thing for eyes as I understand it)I fell back and I saw a white mist in front of me and then I was "OUT" and into this fabulous void,the timeless.then I saw the what I call the "cosmic grand
central" out there in the void.BTW I am playing the music as I write helps the memory.
I feel my group, the "substance" and the music gave me the energy to leave this earthly realm for a time.
Exstacy is called the "antidote to fear" It gave me a state where I had no fear and could let myself go where no one knows the outcome..I was there in that timeless place..I feel it wouldn't have happened without the combination of my group and their combined energy to allow this to happen.It all seemed beyond my own doing..I can say more if you are interested but not tonight.
Love to you and all seekers
