I don’t do traditional meditation now
I basically sit in surrender to the Absolute
but decades ago I did Transcendental Meditation
for many years
until the k energy became overstimulated
from regular meditation for 10 minutes or more
back then, two times I felt myself beginning
to leave my body through the crown of my head
right up the kundalini pathway and to where
I had no idea
both times, frightened, I pulled out of meditation
not wanting to do what I thought was astral travel
I’d heard about cases where people got lost
in the astral planes and never got back
I’d heard about cases when a person who
astral traveled and came
back to his body saw some kind of
negative entity trying to occupy it
because of these cases, I freaked out
not wanting to chance those things
even though those cases may not have
been factual
supposedly many have astral traveled
without such things happening to them
in retrospect, I should have just gone
with those strange to me experiences
I know now I wouldn’t have left my body
I would have experienced incredible
expansions of my consciousness
and maybe a taste of cosmic consciousness
as Gopi Krishna did when he had the same
rising out of the body experience
though his path after that was perilous
his k energy went up the wrong channel, pingala
eventually he got his k energy up the right channel
sushumna and attained cosmic consciousness
and spent the rest of his remaining years on earth
living a blissful, enlightened life
while I still live with a k awakening uncompleted
and have not attained the blissful, enlightened life.
