Dear Pam:

 

Please read my comments slowly and carefully. :)) I will attempt to make

these words seem meaningful and hopeful, but some of the words might sound

"critical." They are not intended that way at all, and your experience is

not unusual for many Westerners, but it need not be scary, painful or cause

you undue alarm. Your visual imaging of a Christ like figure is called

"projection." If you create a very real image, because you have meditated or

concentrated on an image (even a geometric one, such as a Mandella) then open

your eyes, you will see a clear version of this thing. Your brain projects

it into space. This is similar to the effect of flash bulbs going off and

then you see the bright spot of light as an after image. "Persistence of

Vision."

 

What I am going to say means exactly what I say. Nothing more or less.

 

Your thoughts command your experiences.

 

That is everything. Pain, visions, ecstasy, joy, delight, fear, anxiety.

Each quality is like a tape recording that we play...then once we play it, we

can experience it or live it out as reality or fantasy. It does not matter.

The labels do not matter. What is in your heart...in the center of what you

are...that is all that matters.

 

A man once went to a Lion tamer and asked him, "How on earth can you walk

into that cage with a 700 pound lion?"

He replied, "I am not afraid of him."

The man persisted, "But what if you were afraid?"

The trainer replied, "Then I would be crazy to go in there with him!"

 

Such is the case with journeys into the self or soul.

 

You see, no one else can go there with you and no one else is there with

you...all you discover is you. And the universe...

 

Do not be afraid. Do not meditate on things that are beyond your ability to

contend with. (Christ Figures, Gurus, Heaven, Hell, these are all pretty

intense and huge concepts to work on at an early or even advanced level.

Start with a candle or a point of imaginary light between your eyes).

Meditate on a word. A sound. A light. An idea.

 

Remember, if you are surrounded by love and light nothing can harm you during

your meditation. And, if by chance Jesus, Buddha or Mohammed walked into

your room during a meditation...why be in a panic? What a delightful chance

for exchanging some wonderful conversation. If it happens again, have some

questions ready...

 

Good luck...be calm...

 

Blessings

Love,

I opened my eyes and saw a man standing in the room who was wearing a

hooded robe. I was meditating on Christ and thought the image looked

like an orthodox version of a image of Jesus.

This scared me so badly that I never meditated like that again. And, to

be honest, despite the positive effects to be gained from meditation, I

am somewhat frightened to begin again. Especially after reading some of

the posts about physical pain and other difficulties. I would rather

avoid these experiences, if there is a way to protect oneself against

them. I would appreciate any discussion anyone can offer.

Hi Pamster,

 

When I meditated on getting out (OOBE) I heard about 2 voices. It sounded

like someone shouting to me through a speaker surrounded by water. It made

me jump out of my bed really quick. I was kind of afraid because I never

experienced anything like it before. The next day I tried to get out but the

voices ever came back. I guess I wasn't ready to hear the voices again. For

me when I do anything spiritual I always have God on my mind. I know nothing

bad can happen to me.

 

Chris
