They are just displays on the retina. Nothing mystical. Unless of course you attribute a mystical element to them. You are just giving them a name. There is the light at the centre in between the eyes. It is a light in between the eyes. That is all. Why is this so special? It denotes nothing but a light between the eyes. That is all. I also experience lucid dreaming. I also experience a sense of levitation. These are experiences that we can cling to and give meaning to if we wish. If we do that, we are on a ladder, a path, and we become trapped on that path because we feel that we are either spiritually aware or not quite spiritually aware enough. Immediate division, hierarchy. It's a trap. The more I have read these posts and looked at the website, the more I feel that there is alot of suggestion here, one person telling another person what is the right way to describe these things and what they 'really' mean. I'm a total but respectful skeptic who believes that we all have these experiences. They are nothing to get excited about. There is no oneness or essence. There are experiences upon which are layers of meaning in the form of language. > Much love > James > yes indeed. experiences come, experiences go, light, darkness, pain, pleasure... so what? the only importance is revealing/dicovering for whom/what all those experiences arise. who/what are you, james? friends? are you? i am not...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yes, I agree.. This is the way to deal with these experiences... if one desires or has a pull towards liberation. If not, continue playing around with phenomena... with all that comes and goes. Boom! Hahahaha!
