    How and what was it like?

    I remember buying some eleven faced rudraksha beads and meditating and felt a -yes, golden light fill me and it had sway and potion and essence. I felt a bit like I was wading across a stream.

    It felt quite divine.
    My life didn't change.

    I have had several what I call ecstatic mystical experiences and I best comprehend them as being filled with awe but also jaw dropping gratitude for the awareness of and belonging to what I was witnessing. I come away with the impression that if I had never been incarnate I wouldn't have missed a thing.

    I look the same save for maybe a little less stressed but I have experienced a paradigm shift in the way I perceive our relationships. I see energy exchange that is totally and completely harmless or benign and I also see poor reactive behavior based on fearful interpretations.

    Anything that changes is an illusion created by minds memory/consciousness, stories created with notions of the mind through time and space which are in a constant state of flux, relative to each other. Divinity is unchanging stability where the only constant stability in human consciousness is the sense of I-AM-NESS i.e. I AM born, I AM Living, I AM dying, the born, living and dying are changing states of illsuion whereas the I AM, the witness of the mind, is not. Without I AM there is no consciousness; you have, now and always will be this eternal divinity, there is no separation except the illusion you create.

    "I also see poor reactive behavior based on fearful interpretations."

    This is the real truth in everything we experience. There is so much truth in this statement that it should be taught in every school on Earh.

    "I Am" is also complete truth. We just don't see it because of all the bs we accumulate down here.

    Great replies!

    Thanks for sharing your experiences.

    Only Once.

    It was around 6 years back, but I still remember every detail of it.

    Evening time, I was travelling back home after work.

    It had rained earlier, and the roads were still wet, with drops of water still hanging around the railings. No noise in my car, no traffic, I am going at a steady speed and perfect stillness around me. My mind automatically reciting my daily prayers.

    twilight time.

    As I climbed the flyover, I was facing the setting sun, glowing softly, beyond the sea.

    Suddenly, I felt as if each and every light ray coming in through windshield glass is charged, is dancing, is full of energy, full of something I can not describe in words.

    It was as if the sun was showering something, something divine and the earth all around absorbing this energy and smiling. Full of Grace- Full of Divinity.

    No, I can not describe this feeling in proper words. Words are inadequate.

    This lasted for a few a more minutes, till I came to the traffic light and stopped.

    Everyday I travelled on the same road, same time, but it never happened again.

    It was only once, but it was something- definitely something.

    And after that, still I am like a lost child, searching for it once again.

    I have asked God for signs and received them. Yes.

    6th dimensional...5th=consciousness (science i.e time-space-energy-matter) rather than energy (roots i.e fire-earth-air-water) and is inward looking and will not help the world out of its depression but if you look out you can see andromeda and all the others looking at an acid trip gone horribly wrong

    nought wrong with acid - thedope, that avatar of yours gave me (the figure) my only earthbound divine moment

    You can certainly see and have some expansive experiences - as you transit through the chakras the energy gets faster and you can certainly observe light and geometries - these are not divine - you cannot experience or observe divinity -you can only be it
