People tend to get
visions through dreaming, during meditations or even through waking hour. These
are not hallucinations as many skeptics think otherwise. When an individual
becomes aware, recognizes its soul and its journey, it starts getting visions,
which acts like a guidance to help the journey through the oceans of samsaras.
One of my first
vision was when I went total blank and experienced immense bliss just for a
moment or samay, during my college lecture. Later, I used to see a lot of
things during meditations and even while dreaming. However, one fine day, while
going through a magazine I saw a picture of an ancient temple and instantly the
world around me stopped for a while and I was like transported to that very place
where I had seen the temple. It was like being there on the spot and saw things
happening as if I was invisible in that place, where I could see but no one
else could. After searching a lot on the web, I came to the conclusion that the
temple was situated at Hale bid. Not long after that I underwent my first
professional past life regression. An experience that not only gave me the
answer to the vision but also opened up the doors between the consciousness and
unconsciousness of my mind and soul.
After which like
the floodgate that opened up, I would frequently see things during my
meditations. However, after my soul mate expired just two months ago, my grief
suddenly made me see things that I never seen before. During one early morning
during waking hours, I saw a tunnel opening up and a bright light flooding
through. The lights were soothing and beckoning to me. But it started to shut
off and I was like pleading, no no, don’t shut off.
This morning,
about several days from the last episode. Again in the morning hours, just
before the sunrise, while standing at the window, thinking and grieving for my
lost love, I saw the sun rays streaking across the landscape right in front of
my eyes. The golden bright rays were not falling over the city, but a landscape
I had never seen before. I was standing on a higher level at a vantage point
and I saw the golden sun rays falling over a different city, surrounded by
lakes and rivers and mountains in the distance. The city was in a circular
fashion and nothing remotely representing anything on Earth. I had a 270 degree
view of the city and it was out of this world. I felt at ease and was awed with
the scene I had just seen. The entire vision lasted momentarily, but it was
enough for me to recognize that it could have been the famed citadel mentioned
in the ancient Jain books as Mahavideha Kshetra. I had a fleeting glimpse of
the city, but it was enough for me to brood over it the entire day. It seemed
this city is just around the corner on another dimension. Physically, it may
not be possible for a body to cross over, but the soul can.
Whenever, the body
dies off, the soul crosses over to another dimension and because it has shed
the clothing, it can remember everything. Likewise, when the same soul
re-enters back to the physical world in another body, it takes on extra
clothing that hides the memory of the other side. Hence, a normal soul is
incapable of remembering its own past lives or what happens thereafter. There
are exceptions in terms of those who have come back on Earth plane with lesser
clothing or is able to shed the extra burden on Earth itself, they start
remembering things, if not completely at the initial stages. Visions are part
of this very make-up that allows a soul not only to see the universe in its
entirety but understand it as well, bit by bit.
Science has not
even gone beyond seeing the limited light refraction and hence the rest
remains in the dark. But what’s not visible does not mean it does not exist. It
is like burning a match stick in the dark huge cave, wherein only a tiny part
of the cave is visible where the light shines. I had once seen the entire
universe, during my meditation, with daylight in the background and not as dark
as we see each night on Earth. None of my visions are hallucinations. They are
what Earthly science cannot explains because it is still in the infancy stage.
They are trailers of the real thing. Visions that bring peace to you is
different from nightmares.
We can actually
access the dimensions if we want to. All it takes is a key to unlock its
method. The key here is actually a thought process that unlocks the portal, but
once open, they more or less remain open. Souls residing on higher dimensions
can travel anywhere, anytime. It is the Earthly beings who are restricted due
to the presence of the body that acts like a prison cell, wherein our rib cage
acts as the bars of the prison. As human our aim is not the body or its
survival. It is to be set free from the body, maybe after completing our task.
Our Earthly time is actually our punishment of sort and our true home lies
elsewhere. All souls are bound by desires and they exist everywhere, even on
higher dimensions. The only difference is that the levels and purpose of
desires changes. The only place the soul is truly free from everything is the
final resting abode of ‘Siddha Sila’.
If you as a reader
could even see small bit of the beautiful visions, like the way I did, you too will
want to be set free. By remaining on Earth due to ignorance, we are actually binding
more karmic dirt than discarding them. Thereby increasing our bondage. As soon
as we feel our purpose is over, or our jail time is over, we should make a move
to cross over the main gates to be free at last and not linger back due to
worldly pressures.
