REPORTTypically I feel the sensation of falling down a hallway(at a nice, calm pace) where I enter a void and I suppose I wrestle my ego into submission. I feel I was swept away so fast that my ego didn't even get the chance to argue.
I read a lot here about "forgiveness". I realized throwing the word "love" was maybe not so helpful, on top of needing to forgive myself as well. So before my travels, I focused on the sensation of love. The way it fills you and how it feels when I know I'm loved. When I took the hits, I focused completely on that sensation while telling myself "forgiveness". Instead of falling down the hall, I was pulled through a "tunnel".
It was squared like the hall but had the feeling of moving upward at an angle. I had the feeling my hand was being held and I was being pulled along, and there was no doubt in my mind that it was me. "Higher" me. As I was pulled along extremely fast, I realized the "walls" where the edges of the squared area met were being lifted up and a scene was poking out from behind. It felt scary, and I felt myself being told, at the same time I recall saying myself, "Don't worry about them." So I didn't look anymore and kept moving. I suddenly found myself in what initially seemed like another "void", though this was just a pure, beautiful white.
I realized almost instantly that the "void" wasn't one at all, and that something was there. The more I recognized this, the more I became aware that this entity was absolutely surrounding me. It was everywhere, it was everything. Have you ever felt so purely overwhelmed that it made you sick to your stomach? That was the sensation. I feel like whatever appearance I was taking on at that time was doing a spirit equivalent of dry heaving in just sheer awe and the overwhelming sensations. It was pure
power. In itself this was intimidating, but the pure amount of LOVE I felt left no question in my mind what I was looking at. I've always called the higher power "source". This felt like a more accurate term and less loaded than "God". Yet I couldn't be in this presence and can't recall it without the word "God" coming to the front of my mind.
What remained of me seemed to merge with God and I have never felt such a profound love. It filled me to the point where it felt like my chest could burst open. It seemed like we were in constant motion and never moved at the same time. Looking around, there was no particular shape for God. Everything just
was him. I noticed in a moment of "motion" a large pink expanse and when I looked closer, I realized it was trillions of little pink boxes. Each one was like looking into a diorama, just peeking into a 3D space all its own. I had no concept of "me" as a person, yet I had this sudden urge to look in on a particular human. Now out of the experience, it's clear it was me. The moment the pink box showed me a view of my room from above I felt a light sensation then a sudden tug, along with something that wasn't really a voice but a sensation that filled me and everything around me. It was a simple "no". I could tell I had "upset" him a bit with this, so I was "punished".
I'd like to pause here and say that while "upset" and "punish/ment" are the words that come to mind and seem harsh, they are the closest I can describe the sensation. There was no effect on the amount of love I felt, and it didn't seem as if these moments made him "dislike" me or anything of that nature. It was like parental disappointment.
My punishment was my fear; I was thrown into a loop. It was a strange sensation, like I was suddenly separated from God and could feel my "body"(whatever the shape/state of it was) being lifted up and pulled away. In front of me the boxes began to tilt and became purple and dark inside. I was thrown into one of them. I say "throw" due to the force I felt behind it, yet it was painless.
Inside the purple box I woke up in my room and my SO asked me what I had saw. I had a gnawing sensation things weren't right, and I was very afraid. I'm uncertain exactly what thought "broke me out". Was it realizing the world was wrong? Remembering I'd been put there? I don't remember. Yet the moment I realized, I felt this warm, blue(blue is a color. In this experience, it was a wonderful feeling) sensation that seemed to envelope me. I realized I was being held, embraced. Everything around me felt bright and blue and full of love and every wonderful emotion you can imagine.
I can't really describe what anything looked like. I made this as simply what it felt like.Because I'm a silly human, this punishment didn't stop me from trying to peek into the boxes again. I was punished quite a few times. I had also been punished for attempting to think of a word to describe God's shape. Not so much that I wanted to, but that I pushed it. As I tried to think of the words, he told me the word was "indescribable" and that would be all I was allowed to take with me. So I tried to keep the image in mind as hard as possible and think of the closest word and this was when I was in trouble again.
While inside of my punishment loops, sometimes I became "lost". I would feel very afraid and panic to the point where I felt I was losing myself. I suddenly thought to open my eyes to escape but when I did, the way I saw my bedroom in that moment was infinitely more terrifying. He simply told me "There is no escaping it. Embrace it." Even still, I would have moments where the loops were too much, "too hard", or I simply couldn't escape them alone. When it felt like I was about to snap, I'd suddenly hear the music I was listening to. It was a simple but beautiful piano song that I didn't otherwise hear at any point. Yet it would come it very clearly at these moments and the loop would melt away. I would see a black, empty space with a single bright blue line straight down the middle. It seemed to me like the line would warp to the sound of the music, and I became aware he was playing the music himself. He really loved the song, and I got the feeling that in general he loves the piano and is proud of humans for creating it.
Each time, whether I was "pulled" out or came to my own senses, I was immediately embraced again. I felt pride radiating as well, that he was happy I had returned and was okay and that the punishments weren't something he necessary
wanted, rather what I needed. His embrace was pure love, bursts of white and blue colors and the most serene and peaceful sensation I've ever had. Although in itself, it felt like a perfect balance of male and female energy, the feeling I got when I was in "trouble" felt very paternal. Loving yet strict.
I started becoming aware of my bedroom again, the visuals were fading and the music was a constant. I could also feel I had rolled over on to my side and was holding on to my pillow for dear life so I could feel the pillow pressing against me. The instant I realized what was happening, I begged for it to stop. I needed just a little longer. And he gave it to me. The moment that thought crossed my mind, I was suddenly pulled back and for what felt like seconds and an eternity he held me close and let me know that everything would be okay. When I started returning again a second time, I was peaceful about it and let it happen without a fight. I tried to hold the sensation as long as I could so I just lie still until it passed completely, and I realized that I had tears running down my face. My SO worried I was scared and had a bad experience and all I could say was that I'd never experienced tears of pure joy before.
This feels to me like it has so many layers and a lot to unpack. Yet outside of the pure, unconditional and embracing love I felt, the most powerful realization I came to afterwards was that I hadn't at any point stopped and wondered
why I was receiving such love. If I was
worthy of feeling it. All the anxieties I feel when love is expressed to me had been gone, and their absence was extremely noticeable when I "woke up".
Divine gift does not come from a higher power, but from our own minds.
