dwai Posted December 21, 2017 One day I was doing some spiritual work with a friend of mine and in the process entered the astral plane. In that plane, I found a tall skinny man with mustache and a funny hat (Karakul). He was standing at the bottom of a rocky mountain. He started climbing the mountain side and I went with him.  At the peak was a temple like structure with a fire burning in the center. It was an ancient fire, that had never been extinguished since it was lit up thousands of years ago.  I asked him..."Who are you?". He said "I am Zarathustra!"  I asked him..."What can you show me?"  He said "Enter this fire with me..."  He stepped into the fire and so did I. The fire felt cool (instead of burning hot). At first the flames swirled and danced; and then a spiral arose and Zarathustra and I were one with it. It spun faster and faster and then exploded. In that instant, I was everywhere, I was everything and everyone. I was the Sun, I was sunlight, I was all things it shone upon and illuminated. I was also all things it did not illuminate. It was known in a flash...in that very moment I was everything and everything was me.  Thought I'd write this down for posterity   7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted December 21, 2017 What a coincident! Just a few minutes ago on another forum I spoke of Nietzsche's Zarathustra.  And your last paragraph tells me that you attained the state of being "Beyond Good and Evil".   1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerard Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Great experience. You are on the right direction now that you know what you really are —-> no EGO, not the Body.  Maybe an Stream-Entry level is what you attained. Good stuff!  You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop. (Rumi, Sufi ascetic)  What is to be a human hey?  Ah! The Mind, the Great Architect.  Edited December 22, 2017 by Gerard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
