Guest guest Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 > been napping and woke up to a "shifted" > consciousness; I seemed to be seeing everything > from somewhere a foot or two BEHIND my left > shoulder! When I was a little girl, I used spent a lot of time alone with my thoughts (too much time). Sometimes, I'd wonder where "I" came from (not in the procreative sense). I'd wonder, if my parents hadn't come together, where would "I" be? Would "I" be split into two other people if they each had kids with others? Then I'd repeat to myself, "I'm ME. I'm ME. I'm ME." To try and FEEL who "I" was inside my body. Often I would feel my awareness shift so that I felt like I was looking out from somewhere further behind my eyes than normally, and I'd get really scared. I remember getting scared because I suddenly didn't feel as attached to my body. I also felt scared that I was going to lose my parents because they couldn't see "Me" in that moment. It was really weird. I didn't think about it very much for probably 20 years, until just a few months ago. I'm now trying to learn how to get into that awareness again, but it's not easy at all! I've got 20 more years of clutter in my head to let go of!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Thank you Avinash... I've been thinking of reading some of Maharshi's work and now you've given me the nudge. --- avinash ramidi <avinash7_99 wrote: > > --- Miranda Soliz <msoliz2000 wrote: > > > been napping and woke up to a "shifted" > > > consciousness; I seemed to be seeing everything > > > from somewhere a foot or two BEHIND my left > > > shoulder! > > > > > > When I was a little girl, I used spent a lot of > time > > alone with my thoughts (too much time). > Sometimes, > > I'd wonder where "I" came from (not in the > > procreative > > sense).

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Namaste Everyone, I thought I would tell you all of my experience also...I had an Out of Body experience about a year ago..I was just about to fall asleep and then I heard this rushing sound...like big ocean waves..I felt floaty... .then I told myself "THIS Is what it feels like to die" ...as soon as I said that I woke back up...I was a little freaked out but I wished it would happen again even though I am scared of it..I would love to experience it again... only further... I have also had different states of consiousness to where I am "detached"...it is a very strange feeling...
