Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Hi I am a single 65 year old white male retired from 33 years of civil service and living in an ocean view condominium in Ocean City N.J. USA. I have been consciously interested in eastern thought for many, many years.Along the way I also was involved with parapsychology and practiced " laying on of the hands " healing I did many forms of meditation and developed a pulsation between the eyes which some books claim is the opening of the third eye. I have had this sensation for over 30 years which I can turn on by will. I have spent six weeks in a mental institution because I wanted to kill myself by starvation.That was about eight years ago. I had just come off a manic depressive episode althougt I do not believe I am a chronic bipolar. I have had periods in my life where I thougtht I was THERE.This could lasts for months.These were the highlights of my life. I have seen pure white light in meditation and felt I was everywhere at once.The physical feeling was too intense for me to sustain. I believe I have good qualities as a human being.This is the most important thing for me. Although I never married or worked at a job I truly loved,I justify it by my belief it is the innerself that really matters. Am reading I AM THAT for the second time after just finishing the first. The man can get right to the point in few words which appeals to me. I hope to have a discussion with some of this group as the ocassion arises. I would like to quote some wisdom of a teacher of mine..... " It's not peace of mind,it's peace from mind. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hi Sandeep: In answer to your question,I have had glimpses of Peace.I felt I was tuned into the universe and was performing my duty as a servant of God.Some people even thought I was an angel after I helped them in some way.I just thought I was doing my duty and felt extremely lucky. This experience would last a while then would fade away.The culpruit was the fear that there was some treat to my health.I believe I have a form of hypocondria.I have no idea how this was acquired.It just would suck the joy out of my life and banish me from the land of joy. I will never give up my belief that at any given moment I will realize what is already True. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then...something healthwise real or imaginary would creep into my life and I would let it suck the joy out of me.I believe I have a touch of hypocondria. This has been my pattern. The fear of ill health has been my downfall up to this point. In theory I believe we are not our bodies, but in my reality I still have the fear of physical pain or disability.
