Where did I go?

[Florence]

A few years ago I was in a deep meditation and I could feel vibrations going up and down my body. I became aware that "I" was up in the top of my head pulsing. As I felt myself going I said "Neptune"
I immediately was surrounded with swirling particles that were like ocean waves. They were beautiful blues and greens, light and dark shades. There was a whisper in my mind that they were secretly relaxing me, soothing me and putting me into a daze. I was not supposed to know it...but I did...The word cleansing came into my mind.
I thought Mercury and saw a planet inthe distance that ws a blue gray and a warm breeze swept by me. I went from Planet to planet..Only two were very aware of me.....Neptune and the Moon

I tried twice to visit Venus but could not ....everything was blank....strange.....


I have done Astrology so I understood and saw many of the meanings. Jupiter was a huge fat man floating upside down and laughing. He was getting bigger and bigger...I left.


When I came back from where ever I was ...it was just like waking up. I saw no tunnel in this experience...but I went somewhere


Where?????


BTW. Cleansing was not a word I associated with Neptune but I did find it after going through many of my astrology books


Neptune and the Moon were both alive and aware of me. They are in trine in my personal chart

Well, I am very disppointed that I have had no response to my question. With so many members experienced in meditation and also able to go back into past lives....I thought some one of them might understand what happened to me.


I felt the "I" of me go out through the top of my head...I saw no tunnel...I was just instantly ON Neptune....As I later thought of each other planet...I was suspended in space. I did not go into seperate descriptions because it would not be that interesting to many.I just thought it strange that I could not see or go to Venus,,,even though I could go or see everything else.


A friend said that I went to the Inner Planes....I don't exactly know where or what the inner planes are. Can someone expain that much??? I felt I went out of body.... It was the only time I was able to do that....though I tried many times...

Hi Flo! I've read many accounts of such experiences over the years, but I've never been able to relate, because I've never experienced such a thing. What could I possibly say? If my wife were to inform me that her deceased father visited her last night, all I could respond with would be, "Really?", "OK!.


Also, it is possible that the subject might be marginally relevant to the over riding topic of the Forum, which is Reincarnation in general, and Children's Past Lives more specifically. Please don't feel that you're being ignored. It's very possible that some members have had similar experiences. Perhaps, there's not much that anyone can say about it as pertains to Reincarnation.

Thanks Nightrain for responding....I appreciate it.


I placed my post in this section because it speaks of discussing aspects of spiritual and paranormal experiences. People have spoken of going out of body on this forum...so I thought placing my post here would be OK....and I thought it would be a familiar experience to a few.

Hello Florence.

I immediately was surrounded with swirling particles that were like ocean waves. They were beautiful blues and greens, light and dark shades. There was a whisper in my mind that they were secretly relaxing me, soothing me and putting me into a daze. I was not supposed to know it...but I did...The word cleansing came into my mind.

I think what you wrote above is beautifully descriptive of your experience, but then I have always admired your writing.


I understand the OBE, but your experience is remarkable, I think, and I don't where it is that you went to. Do you have any ideas upon further reflection now?

Hi Stardis


Not really....I was sure I went out of body but where I went was a combination of being in outer space and my own mind somehow...


I love Neptune and it's active in my personal chart so that was why I spoke the name. I was absolutely beautiful,,,nothing I could have imagined by myself and yet....it was very much in tune with the meaning of the planet in Astrology. It KNEW I was there and it KNEW I knew. The Moon was simular in the way that it too was aware of me looking at it. It was soft and white and it billowed


This happened quite a few years ago now but I have never forgotten the experience. Since I had begun in silence with the image of Christ and his Holy Mother standing before me....it seemed mystical...Actually I cannot find the right words to tell you how I felt when it ended.


Do you now anything about the Inner Planes? Is that in my own mind? I wish I would have questioned the fellow who made that statement. He just said he envied me because he was never able to go there...Well, I can't seem to get there again either....grin....sadly...

I don't think that the OBE is something that occurs in our mind. I do think that it is an experience of our consciousness that occurs outside of the body. To me the Inner Planes are the environment that the spiritual body is exploring and experiencing, where things happen that can indeed seem completely illogical and yet make profound sense to the traveler. I believe those planes are real and yet malleable to our thoughts and desires and so produce what we want to see but not necessarily in a manner that we can easily comprehend.


I was in that space about 40 years ago but I could not understand it or appreciate what was happening to me and so walled that part of me off from my physical reality. I think that with a greater level of spiritual maturity, I would have found that experience to be enlightening in a way that I would have appreciated. Interestingly, at least to me, was the understanding that you can't get there by trying. I had read once that "when you want it, you can't have it - but when you don't want it, you can have it" and at the time it made sense to me in the context of the experience that you are describing. Does that make any sense at all?

 

[Florence]

Yes, it does make perfect sense.


I was very relaxed that afternoon sitting on the couch in silence. I had put the cat into the bedroom because whenever I meditated Alley Cat would jump up on my lap and start kneading my chest. No matter where she was....awake or asleep...she knew when Mama was going to meditate


I envisioned Christ and his Mother before me and began to consentrate on my breathing. Then very quickly, without effort, my experience began.


I have MANY times followed that exact pattern and nothing......The harder I try the more NOTHING I get. I have to get back to that relaxed state with no expectation if I will ever get there again.


Your right, I believe, when you say the mind is a great part of it but the spirit is teaching you and


showing the way. I think the old Master teachers must have done this very often to bring back information. Afterwards, I wished I had asked about a past life but,


of course, it was too late \


I did learn that Neptune is also cleansing and that planets can send out electrical arks....Uranus in particular


Can you tell me of your experience 40 years ago or is that private....If it is....that's OK....I promise I won't pry (even if I want to....grin...)
