I’ve been aware from the outset, with regards to my old friends on Facebook, how weird my spiritual references must sound to those who have little interest in, or regard for, spiritual matters.
I just figure that, at the age of 63, if I’m not going to speak my truth now then when will I and, besides, it’s the flat-out best content that I could ever hope to share with anyone.
I also prefer to post in this blog about uncommon or extraordinary things that readers might not find anywhere else and I’m running out of extraordinary experiences to draw upon. This incident, however, was the most extraordinary experience of my life.
Evidently it takes some bravery to speak out spiritually as is evidenced by so many mostly publicly silent spiritual individuals.
Any spiritual public bravery is nothing, however compared to what I’m posting here now; literally the most personally humiliating-feeling thing that I could ever share publicly. I’m certain that this fear of humiliation used to be an easy emotion to exploit for those who, at one time, preferred to keep these things quiet.
Most westerners haven’t heard of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj who is, converse to many global public guru wannabes world-wide, the real deal. He’s a living master. We’re all masters in the making but this guy is considerably more advanced than most of us.
“Our job is to stick to our meditation, day after day, until we see results.” Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj
He teaches his new initiates to meditate every day for 1.5 hours for a period of 6 months.
Almost all of the spiritual masters who I’ve come to respect recommend the increasingly mainstream practice of meditation. My lifetime meditations have been infrequent at best but, frustrated with a lack of verifiable results and disturbed by the possibility of merely sitting idle for significant periods of time, I undertook to meditate every night for 1.5 hours for 6 months just as Sant Rajinder recommends. I did so at 2 am every night as is often recommended (ideally facing east toward the coming day) for its quietude.
I wanted to see results.
I was probably about in the middle of my third month of nightly meditations, and had just finished my 1.5 hr session sometime around 4 am, when it happened. I saw the light. I’ve never seen the light during meditation but on this occasion, drawn toward the light, I parted the curtains to see everything outdoors lit up as brightly as if it was noon. Like daylight.
There was no sound and, as bizarre as it sounds, the most rational linear reasoning at the time to me was that it was powerful incandescent light projected downwards from a silenced helicopter. There being few other options this is what I actually thought was most likely going on. The Kinder Morgan tank farm property on Burnaby Mountain is nearby and the helicopters we’ve heard on occasion may be related to that property. Was this another fantasy military exercise featuring starring imaginary left-wing terrorists? Consequently I wanted nothing to do with it and stupidly, unceremoniously, closed the curtains.
I’m sure that at the time the fleeting possibility occurred to me that this could be an Extra Terrestrial Reentry Vehicle (ETRV) but that just seemed to be too far out a thought to entertain as possible.
Now I wonder.
I wish I could remember what the shadows were doing and my regrets include not grabbing my camera which sat about 8 feet away. A friend, more well-read than I regarding ET phenomena, suggested that there may have been no shadows at all because fluid light is something of which, he has read, ETs are capable. I don’t know. I don’t remember.
I stopped meditating nightly shortly thereafter. This was likely due to the fact that, already an insomniac, meditating nightly at this hour, for this period, can kick the stuffing out of my sleep cycle and too often necessitates daytime sleep.
Since then I learned about Dr. Stephen Greer’s Close Encounters of the 5th Kind about which he states that putting ourselves into phase with consciousness itself is the best way to initiate contact with Extraterrestrials.
Even though such contact was unsought, by meditating every night at this time I may have been sending out a signal at dependable regular intervals for ETs to home in on. Unfortunately, while smaller similar lighting events have reportedly presented themselves to Dr. Greer’s meditation groups I haven’t seen any other reports of ETRV lighting events as large as my neighborhood enlightenment experience. For this reason I wonder if the greater number of minds in meditation groups can impede the degree of contact relative to the most cautious common denominator?
Whatever the case, while I wish the light had been internal, at this point I can certainly recommend, that if you too want proof of the efficacy of meditation, meditate 1.5 hrs./day for 6 months and see what happens.
