requested experiences

[Guest guest]

Dear magickool777,

 

You are asking for experiences of eastern deities. It is important to note that

deities from VEDAS are not simply Gods drawn up by human imaginations – they

represent the general Laws of Nature in individualistic form.

 

The Veda is as universal as science, useful for all men and true for all times.

It must be understood in its eternal freshness and vitality. It must not be put

in the basket of any religion. As pure knowledge, it is the eternal source of

all activity, and as such, stands as the universal basis of all traditions. Like

the roots of a tree which always support new branches growing in all directions,

the Veda offers vitality to all branches of knowledge and activity.

 

At the same time, the ancient Veda provides formulas for the full development of

consciousness. The growth of higher states of consciousness experienced in the

lives of millions of people around the world practising the Transcendental

Meditation technique of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is validated by the scientific

research confirming that this growth enriches all areas of human life.

 

Experiences of the finer levels of existence are often accompanied by the

encounters with the Devas. One of the most popular deities of Rig Veda is SOMA.

Soma is said to be the glue of the universe – it maintains the eternal continuum

of pure existence, the field of pure potentiality, the unmanifest absolute state

of life. Soma can be understood as something like a fluid substance or impulse

of creative intelligence which connects body and mind, physical existence and

consciousness. It is the flow of pure Soma that organizes perfect functioning of

body and mind resulting in higher states of consciousness. That in itself is the

basis of a problem-free society and world peace. Here just a couple of

meditation reports

 

“I began to experience SOMA as a milk-white substance pouring down as a

torrential waterfall or falling like drops in a pool. I saw SOMA sparkling like

the sun over water, heard the loud roaring hum of SOMA during sleep, and tasted

the sweet, mild taste of SOMA during meditation.

 

“This visualization of SOMA gave way more and more to the experience of SOMA as

wholeness – totally unbounded and fulfilling. It was my self, infinite and

eternal, containing everything and contained in everything in the universe. I

was filled with such an intense love for everything and everyone, and as I put

my attention on one person after another I discovered that the reason I loved

them so much was because they were my Self.

 

“SOMA began to flow while I was working. And lying down after work I would feel

my body like a porous sieve with SOMA flooding through me, tinting my awareness

with pure purple, green, and gold. I felt SOMA pressing out wholeness through my

back, and upon rising from meditation I would see lively bits of golden SOMA

filling the entire room.

 

“Wholeness persisted in and out of meditation, as if there were no difference

between meditation and activity. I felt a great love for everyone. During sleep

I was absorbed in pure white light, and it was sometimes difficult to

distinguish waking from sleep, as they were both underlined by the continuum of

the Self. … Even the noises of the construction outside seemed to be coming from

myself – enlivening the Self with waves of bliss. I experienced fulfilment of

desires, and everything I’d be wanting during the course became readily

available. –C.S., Michigan, USA

published in “Achievements – the Year of Ideal Society”, 1977, by Maharishi

Mahesh Yogi

 

 

“Following the first SOMA experiences I have noticed a huge change in my

everyday awareness. I really understand the phrase ‘frictionless flow’ of

awareness on the level of my experience. For about two weeks I was able to focus

intensely and think with incredible efficiency, no wasted thoughts. I also found

myself spontaneously doing the highest first.” --M. C., Maine, USA

published in “Creating an Ideal Society – a Global Undertaking”, 1976, by

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

 

“A very nice change which has taken place is an unbroken intimacy between my

Self and the environment. It is a sort of liveliness of Self, rather than

flatness, which I experience in everything around me. The continuum of Self

within myself and outside of me just seems to have a very enjoyable, lively,

intimate quality – as if my Self is smiling and radiating everywhere. For the

first time I feel concretely, tangibly clearer and closer to all that is meant

by God, to all that He is.

 

“I feel a very solid stability and invincible strength growing in my life. … My

favorite companion is the bliss and silence of my Self which is growing by leaps

and bounds and spilling into the relative. …

 

“One experience I could briefly mention – it is nothing flashy, but it is

consistent and enjoyable, and it occurs very frequently. It is of being

completely enveloped in an indescribable, soft, divine gentleness. It embraces

me outside and is lively within me. I feel I am that indescribable thing, so

enormously wonderful, beyond intellectual description, so complete, so lively

with pure love. I call it God – because that is just what comes to mind when I

experience it. I feel infinitely protected and cared for.” --M.H., California,

USA
