| | My son was born last week very unexpectedly. It was intense to say the least. He was born naturally because everything happened so fast that we didn't make it to the operating room. We didn't even make it out of the exam room, four nurses came running in with a crash cart. My son almost didn't make it, but he is doing very well now. It certainly makes you stop and think about the important things in life.
My practice will probably be spotty for a while, but I felt inclined to document this morning.
Brief OBE
I woke up at 4 am to change my son and then returned to bed. I couldn't fall back to sleep, probably because of financial worries. I tossed and turned for about an hour and a half, but I must have drifted off at some point because of what happened next. The memory is already hazy like a dream, but it definitely happened.
I remember seeing darkness and feeling everything vibrating. I had enough presence of mind to realize that I was in the vibrational state. The interrupted sleep patterns must have come into play. "Ah, I can travel out-of-body now!" I thought. But I couldn't seem to remember. I decided to just get up. I moved my hands and then slowly sat up in bed. It felt like I was literally just getting up with my physical body, and I felt foolish because I thought that's what was happening. But then I started to float. I couldn't see anything-- it's as if my eyes were glued shut-- but I felt myself floating.
I turned around to face my physical body. Still nothing. I strained to open my eyes but all I could feel was my physical eyes twitching, like being aware of two levels of consciousness at the same time. Very weird. I feared ending the experience by opening my physical eyes, so I gave up on trying to see and just let myself continue to float upwards.
Suddenly, I was high in the air, overlooking a city perched among mountains. I thought it was my childhood hometwon back in Tennessee, but I couldn't be sure. Looking back now, it was way too bright for it to be "real." I must have entered into some kind of dream-like state, and my lucidity was very low from this point forward. I vaguely remember swooping down and entering a large house with white walls and a very long hallway. I thought "Hey, if I'm out of body I should ask to see something really awesome." So, I mentally demanded to see God. This turned out to be a bad idea. The whole structure of the house instantly came crashing down and being sucked into some kind of void. The last thing I remember is screaming. |
