My Insight I received today was while doing a Trataka meditation, this involved focusing on a candle until my eyes got watery then with my eyes closed focusing on the after image holding it for as long as I could, during this meditation below details the insights I received this was a first time experience as I would normally gain insights after my trataka meditation not during.
Experience:
As I focused on the flame I saw small sparks of energy and the beautiful glow in the rainbow colors emanate from this small wick before, I felt a sense of peace, giving into this peace I closed my eyes and focused on the after image a small yellow tear drop shaped glow with a green and purple outline amidst the pitch black backdrop of my closed eyes. As I focused on this after image observing as it shrank to nothingness before me from the pitch black appeared a scene. I observed Spirit, the creator desiring an experience, manifesting a woman on earth to have this experience, spirit was not seen but I was aware that the pitch black darkness that surrounds this woman felt familiar to the pitch black of my closed eyes, to allow this woman to have an experience of forgiveness spirit had to create another individual to harm her and from that encounter she experienced forgiveness , I observed as the woman , the man, the entire scene disappeared returning to darkness similar to my afterimage of the candle. I then observed as Spirit created several individuals, animals plants our world in this darkness, desiring several experiences , as each experience was accomplished that manifestation would fade and return to spirit. I observed special souls that though created to have an experience they were aware of this fact, they communicated with spirit, I observed how there afterimage grew in color, it was extremely vivid impossible to fade out , these individuals through communicating with spirit assisted the other manifestations with accomplishing their initial desire, their soul contract, their purpose for being manifested after observing this my mind returned to the pitch black of my closed eye lids.
Gratitude to Anmol Mehta for introducing me to several meditation techniques which have become a part of my regular practice.
I was recently on Fame 95 for "Uncensored" program and It inspired me to share information on the Upper World along with a recording of the interview. below
The Upper World The Upper World is
what psychiatry refers to as the superconscious, a realm that’s greater than
the limited ego sense we have in our everyday existence.
All traditional societies refer to the Upper World (as do many religions), and
each has its own map to describe the terrain. There are the Christian
depictions of purgatory and paradise, which delineate the levels of
purification humans must undergo before entering into paradise. There are the
ancient maps of Tibet that illustrate the bardo planes, where a person’s soul
atones for his mistakes and then returns to the light after much hardship and
suffering. The laika tell of a multitiered landscape which is inhabited by the
collective souls of minerals, plants, and animals , as well as the souls of our
ancestors; and each of the five planes of this wolrd exists in a different
relationship to time.
The Laika, believe that after your death, you naturally gravitate toward one of
these levels of the Upper World based upon how you’ve lived your life. If you
arrive in an unhealed state, for instance ,you’re consigned to the lower tiers,
where you undergo a period of cleansing and purging. Yet if you live
consciously, you can arrive at one of the higher tiers of the Upper World,
where there’s no time or suffering…. Only joy.
The beings you meet in the upper world are there to guide you with regards to
your soul contracts in this life, to reconnect us with our lifes purpose we
chose before the human experience.
The Five Planes of the Upper World.
First Plane, Level of the Stone
People
Once you pass the gatekeeper, you’ll enter into the lowest tiers of the Upper
World. In the first level, time passes in a fashion similar to how you
experience it in your world. It marches forward, taking the occasional detour
to reverse itself, as it does in dreams, but it is basically linear.
This level is an earthbound world of darkness and suffering, where you purify
yourself before moving on to higher levels that are filled with joy and peace.
For indigenous cultures, the first level of the Upper World is known as the
domain of the Stone people. This is where the essence and spirit of stones
reside and energy vibrates at a very low frequency.
Great for stones not for people, No
light, no senses, you have a vague awareness of the presence of others, but you
can’t relate to them or communicate with them. Here’ there is only
suffering.
Earthbound
spirit that’s purging and cleansing and is still attached to a place where it
might have lived or was killed, we’re referring to a spirit that’s stuck in the
realm of the Stone People. They cling to the location of an automobile accident,
a rape, a place where soul loss and life
loss happened at the same time. They may also be bound to a person they
loved or hated, lingering and clinging to them until the person joins them in
the first tier, and their able to resolve their souls business together.
According to legend you can’t leave the first tier until you learn the way of
stewardship of the earth represented by the Stone People. (unfinished
business).
Second plane – Plant people
As a soul purges and heals, it becomes increasingly awake; consequently it may
pass into the second tier of the Upper World. This level is much more pleasant
for humans than the first. You can see,
and all of your senses are available to you, but there continues to be
suffering as you purge from your last lifetime. The tide of time still exerts a
pull, and cause and effect still predominate.
here the many streams of your previous lifetimes run into the currents of your
most recent existence. You not only recapitulate and experience the events of
your recent past, but those of many other incarnations as well. You meet
beings you recognize and who recognize you. As in a dream people from the
distant past and from your recent lifetimes appear and seek forgiveness of
vengeance. You can interact with them, but as
in dreams, senses change rapidly and it takes a long time to find resolution.
You can’t leave the second tier until you accept responsibility for the
stewardship of all green life, of the flowers, and of the forests. The plant
people level is one of cleansing and growth, life and sunlight, it’s a green
world where the spirits of plants reside.
The laika journey to this place to receive guidance as to which herbs and
plants they should use for a person in need. It is from this wolrd that
pharmacology first emerged among traditional peoples. Indigenous healers did
not test 100 of remedies before finding what worked, they asked.
Third Plane: Level of the Animal
Spirits
This realm has the spirit of all animals and extinct species, individuals aren’t differentiated from each
other and there’s nothing but a complete absorption with nature because animals
have collective souls, unlike humans who have individual souls. There’s no
consciousness, no separation from anything that occurs around you-instead,
you’re abosorbed and possessed by the collective with no sense of I or self.
Time is completely fluid in this world, although there’s still a past and
present.
The human soul that inhabit this world are in their final stages of purging.
All that’s required now is that they awaken and realize that they’re dreaming. According to legend, you many not
leave this tier until you can participate
consciously in the evolution of all life.
During these 3 levels you will meet those you are familiar with but you cannot
communicate each soul is focused on there own purging.
The Fourth Plane – Ancestors
The souls of your ancestors reside in the fourth tier, and you can engage them
in dialogue because they’ve finished their own atonement process. This domain
is filled with people, places and things that mirror and parallel those from
your world. Here you meet your loved ones who have completed the journey back
home.
A shaman helps you in this life to heal so in the afterlife it is not required
to journey through all of these planes.
This is all about preparing to meet your celestial
parents, who will help you choose the next family you’ll be born into, the
circumstances and place of your next birth, and what kind of life experiences
you;’ll have in your next incarnation.
The life-review process occurs in
the presence of your celestial parents, this is where you’re accused, the
defendant, the judge and the jury all at once.
The 4th tier is a realm of peace and rest for humans, where souls
gather between incarnations. Even though
you’ve purged and atoned, your soul’s history will determine your next
incarnation. Time stands nearly still, but cause and effect and the law of
karma still predominate. A minute in this realm can be a century of earth time.
Legend says you don’t evolve beyond this
domain until you accept responsibility for dreaming the entire universe into
being.
5th Plane level of the
highest
From here you can climb a ladder into the fifth and highest level. The realm of angels, archangels where the
great medicine healers reside. This is where all the souls dedicated to
assisting humankind dwell, including the bodhisattvas of Buddhism and the
saints of Christianity. This is where you meet your self that never entered the
stream of time, the once containing all the knowledge of the person you’re
evolving into.
