This is an 'experience' that I had a couple of years back. It's not a dream. Not a fragment of my imagination either. It's a vision: vivid, detailed, elaborate, enlightening.
It must have been around 11:30-12pm. I was in bed. Sleeping. Or so I thought. But it was a semi-conscious state of mind. The state when one is just about making the transition from the unknown into the known. That's when I had this vision: I am sitting with my legs folded in the lotus position, on the ground. My body begins to slowly rise above the ground. I am light - both in weight and in luminance. There's a halo around my body and a Buddha-like equanimous smile on my face. I am raised to a height of approximately 20 odd feet from the ground, bearing the same countenance all through. I stop in mid-air. Same countenance. I slowly open my eyes and look below. On the ground where I was earlier, there are flames of fire rising up. From up there, I look down at the blaze. I am aware that all the negativity that I may be carrying with in me: consciously or subconsciously, is what that fire is symbolic of. Every tiny bit of it is ablaze in that fire. From up there, I am looking at it all, smiling, light - in body, mind and soul.
I pass into the known...
