Do you also have these questions?


This past year until at present time I have been encountering new knowledge about spirituality that I haven't known before. As far as spirituality is concerned I was raised Catholic and the only knowledge that I have consciously known since childhood was coming from the Holy Bible. Do hear that I have not yet finished reading the Bible. Thankfully enough the central foundation of my search still revolves upon the teachings from the said book and expanding around it.




Many things happened to me in this lifetime that made me confused. Leading me to ask things like: What is really the purpose of my life? Or this life, what is the purpose of living it for us humans? Who am I really? What am I really supposed to do here? Is it only about accumulating riches and making my own family, owning a house, a car? And then passing them on to my heirs when I die? 

Is there something else deeper that we are destined to do or BE?



My previous knowledge has just expanded. I think that I more of feel the teachings through actual experiences rather than just knowing the teachings with my mind.

Right now it was more felt. Many teachings before made sense. And it felt great with every realization.

I'll be sharing to you in the succeeding posts what I have been watching or reading so far that made me reach  a peaceful state (not consistently though, I'm still learning) during times of worry, fear and anxiety.

Please let me know if this struck a chord in you. I'll be more than happy to interact. =)

God bless you! Namaste!

An Extra-Ordinary Experience. Enveloped by Light. Intense Shaking. And Pulling.

This experience led me to creating this.

- February 23, 2013, around 4:00 am to 6:00 am, Philippine time (same as Hong Kong +8)

....I woke up suddenly from my bed after sleeping for about an hour or two. It was still dark. I realized that it was still dawn. I remember doing my inner body awareness habit and my deep breathing prior to that sleep to relax myself. As I lie awake, a thought crossed my mind on how should I continue pursuing the abundance (in terms of money, career and business) that I want in my life. I was used to this train of thought every now and then during these times. Which mostly led me to worry and be anxious since I have been doing a lot of things and pursuing different endeavors with the goal of being rich (in the world's definition) but to no avail I have not been able to do so, so far.




Then I said to myself, "Maybe I should try that meditative technique on Quantum jumping that I have watched yesterday." According to the speaker, this concept came from one of the chapters of Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich. (As of this writing, my next activity would be to find where in the book did the author write about that). As said in that Quantum jumping video, to do it, you have to visualize yourself in a boardroom (a meeting room with a long table and executive chairs). And you are to sit in front of the people you want to ask advice to, and then, ask them your question.


Lying in my bed, I said to myself, "Hmm, let me try this, if it's about getting prosperity I want to know, let me ask one of my favorite authors, the entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki. I'll imagine being with him in the boardroom."

And so while I am visualizing Mr. Kiyosaki in front of me, completing his physical image sitting and facing me, suddenly I was being enveloped by a bright white light. And while that was happening, I felt an intense shaking in my whole body. At this time I am also feeling that something or some force is pulling me from behind.


I was surprised with all this happening to me. I was even more surprised that I was completely aware and "awake" at that moment. What I mean by that is that I was able to think during those times. It was like a state of half-awake and half-asleep. Because during the appearance of the light and during the shaking, I am hearing myself saying mentally that "Maybe this is what those articles are saying about OBE or Out-of-Body Experiences, that a shaking will happen."

When the "pulling" continued, I felt that the movement was so far that I resisted and started to panic. I was in a state of shock but at the same time I was in awe of that heightened feeling. "Was that the feeling of your spirit being separated from your physical body prior to an OBE?" I asked myself. As I panicked, the vibration ceased, and finally I opened my eyes. I took a pause and then prayed to God and Jesus. And for the rest of the morning I was asking them incessantly what just happened earlier. I was smiling and confused while asking that though, hahaha.

It is not easy to explain in words. It was a moment that produced mixed emotions. It was panic and scary but at the same time it had a refreshing feel. It could be a nervous system reaction. I am really not sure. It is what it is.


I haven't had an experience like that before, and it led me to start this account on spirituality. Maybe to search others who had also a similar experience. To meet like-minded, or to put it, like-frequency-ed people.

Till Next Time,

Carlo
