2. It's only after having a revelatory experience of everything that you will understand that every-thing is the same as no-thing.

1. It's only when you realize that you exist as all selves that you can truly understand that no self is real.

This is a real world, just not the only one. This is a real life, just not your only one. Many Lives, Many Worlds.

The Universe gave you an embodied Soul to experience, learn, & evolve, not to dissolve into emptiness. You have a greater destiny.

Where do we go when we die? In truth, we don’t go anyway. We’re already there — and here ... and many other places as well.

Regarding our thoughts: you can only see the messages not the messenger. That’s because you can’t access it remotely.

The Source is a sea of pure undifferentiated awareness that in its vibrations gives birth to all forms. Every drop of it is alive

Whatever else we might know of the energy that makes us all, we know this much: it loves to weave its stories.

Within meditation: separate from your body, your senses, external and internal, your thoughts, your memory, your identity, your self. What remains is a disembodied presence floating in an inky black void, a mere itch of potential awareness, the I-Am. This presence at the root of your awareness is the same one that lurks inside everyone else, within No-Place, within No-Time. This is the great and hidden dark mystery. That at the Beginning and at the End we are and have always been the same Being. This is the Truth from which all others derive. You are me and we are All.

The Inner Eye Opens. This was my experience at the end of my first week of meditation practice. The following is the description of this vision (from "Many Lives, Many Worlds"). As before I refer to myself as the "Seeker" in this vision.

MST Vision #5. Tunneling towards the Light – The Seeker

The Seeker sits in meditation, watching amorphous shapes drift within his darkened visual field. The pattern of movement soon changes, going through several progressive transformations. Initially, all he sees is static, but then a small black sphere, like a dark sun, forms in the middle of his vision, surrounded by a brighter halo of pulsating energy. Short segments of thin rectangular shapes radiate out from all sides of the sphere, forming a ring of rays. This ring is not static but gradually increases in diameter, moving away from the center as it grows. A series of concentric rings of rays pulsates out from the center, moving towards and past him, ultimately disappearing as they leave his field of view. Then this feeling of traveling through a tunnel stops. Four surrounding moon-like areas form around the pulsing dark sun, which the streaming rays now pass through. Other symmetrical groups of still smaller orbs replace additional elements of these rays, dynamically distributing themselves around the central mass at varying orbitals, like an animated kaleidoscopic display. Again, the image changes, as the various distinct elements within each orbital began to coalesce, creating a series of concentric glowing bands of light around the central mass. The previous movement of rays out from the center stops and the bands begin to move inward toward the center. These morph into glowing spheres of energy, growing progressively smaller as they move towards the center before vanishing. After a little while this process stops and is replaced again by a homogenous static-like area. A slit of light appears horizontally across the center of the field and grows to form an ovoid shape, similar to a whitish football inflating on its side. In the center of the region a darker area begins to appear with a pulsating texture like that of the original central orb, with a black hole in its middle. On either side of it are the tails of the white ovoid shape. He now recognizes it as an eye, now fully open, and looking right at him. It stares at him for a few moments before fading away, consumed by the shimmering grainy surface of background energy.

This was my experience from the third day of my meditation practice. The following is the description of this vision (from "Many Lives, Many Worlds"). As before I refer to myself as the "Seeker" in this vision.

MST Vision #4. The Secret Contract – The Seeker

While he lacks any memory of entering into a deep trance while meditating, the Seeker returns to awareness in the fuzzy border region between normally veiled states of consciousness and the state he is usually in prior to the onset of his visions. He hears in his head the last fragments of a conversation between an unknown party and himself. The voices aren’t really “heard” though. Their nebulous quality makes them seem more like thoughts than spoken words. Since there is no sound, he is unable to associate any distinguishing features such as age or gender with them. Their quality is more like a faint echo. Although he hears fragments from a much longer conversation, he is only able to remember the last pieces of the exchange, as their echoes quickly fade away. If a visual field is present during this experience, he takes no notice of it. He does have some faint awareness of his body’s presence. It was as if the input from his external senses of sight and sound had been suppressed, even while he was still able to receive limited signals from the subtler energy vibrations of his physical body. He “hears” what he takes to be a surrogate for himself making an agreement with another unidentified party, though he does not remember what preceded it. He knows he has been presented with a list of rules he is expected to follow if he goes on some kind of quest, but he can’t remember the details. He hears himself asked: “Will you agree to do this?” and his subsequent reply, “Yes, I will.” The echoes of this whole exchange so disturb him that he immediately drops out of meditational consciousness and returns to normal awareness.

This continues my account of my experiences after first beginning to meditate (several years ago now). On my second day of meditation I again experienced a visit from the two mysterious Watchers from MST Vision #1. The following is the description of this vision (from "Many Lives, Many Worlds"). As before I refer to myself as the "Seeker" in this vision.

MST Vision #3. The Standing Watchers – The Seeker

Sitting in meditation the Seeker once again hears two voices speaking, as he had the day before. This time the voices are coming from his front left. They are discussing what advice to give him to help with his meditation. Directing his awareness in their direction, he sees two men, both in their mid-thirties, slowly pacing in front of hm. Sometimes they have their arms folded across their chests. Occasionally one would bring a hand up to his face and peer in towards him. Other times they would gesture in his direction as they spoke. While he did not notice it at the time, the dimensions of the room were definitely askew. There was more space in the room to his left than there should have been, probably to allow for their presence. He tries to get a good look at their features, wanting to recognize them if he ever sees them again. The one on the right looks like a much younger version of him, with brown hair and a slim build, dressed comfortably, with an open collared, checkered plaid shirt and jeans. The other has darker features and is African-American. He is stockier than the first man and has short black hair, wearing a long-sleeved white jersey. The Seeker remembers his prior day’s encounter with the Watchers, and his continuing belief that he is sitting in meditation drives his heightened interest in their possible identities. He gets the impression they will play a role in his future spiritual evolution.
