Hello everyone,
I have been seeing a little white light ahead in the distance during my meditation for quite some time now. It is very small but is nevertheless very bright! I also see it frequently during the day outwith meditation too, it is usually around the third eye area but it can move sometimes. Does anyone else have this?
And another thing that happens during my meditations is that all around
becomes confused, what i mean by this is that up can become down etc. and i am not really aware at times of the normal directional senses  !
Is this a good sign?
Thank you for your patience.

The best sign is when seeking is exhausted. I've heard of Zen masters often tricking their students, beating them silly with sticks... some have actually realised enlightenment from their beating haha. It's all contextual, the Zen master knows their student really well.
I'm guessing it's sorta like, the student puts their zen master up on a pedestal, "oh how holy this man is", they're completely obsessed with their projections, with the world of form in front of them actually meaning something. Then the zen master comes in, creeps up behind them, if they were aware, they'd catch him, but in their unawareness, they get a beating and a good lesson.
By no means do I suggest doing this haha, though the world of form outside... it's the same as the world of form inside. Don't get too attached to the experiences, they will come and go, none of them really mean anything except that your nervous system is purifying itself out, and what that means to you... well, that's for you to decide :). Or not decide... you can just trust your intuition, that it's good for the Self. No need to analyze it all, by the time you're done thinking, it's already gone :). |

Hi UniversalMind:
Regarding the point of light, you might find these two lessons helpful:
The Star: http://www.aypsite.org/92.html
The Star Revisited: http://www.aypsite.org/179.html
The disorientation (up, down, etc.) will even out in time. Good things are happening -- purification and opening. 
All the best!
The guru is in you. |
