What did your teacher say when you were finally able to discuss your experience with him? I'd really love to know. Thank you for your knowledge and for sharing your gifts!!! 🙏🏼
Your experience is 100% genuine; the Initiation and Insight into your Spiritual Path❤
The Void experience is the Void before the path that allows you to bow in front of the Lord, the Big Light.
Your honesty will bring you there.
The interpreter thinking that you are at the edge, that you can't control, etc... he is not real! Surrender is the key at that stage and you definitely are on the Path for the Highest State of Realisation.
Sathya Sai Baba will take care of you.
Drop the witness and you are Home, but don't try to own Home otherwise you are back as a witness.
Bravo! Qualified so see the Lord of Love
Like Ben has opened up about this, thanks to you, also, on confirming it. It happened to me about four years ago, but I've never been anywhere near it since, I'm content with what I experienced.
Meditation, just as psychedelic experience, is ultimately a sacred matter and must be treated with respect. Ultimately, I think it applies to all "extreme" experiences in this plane. I mean, for example, also climbing. If you don't respect the mountain, nature ends to give you tough lessons. But all in all this doesn't mean you have to avoid them if you aim to elevate you. You story is very important thank you
Ben, thank you for sharing this experience. I'm glad you're giving out this advice. This is very very powerful energy.
I went to this experience of super fully charged electricity and I have no one to talk to but after 2 months I was able to contain the energy and it went away naturally.. I was a person who knows nothing about spirituality and meditation.. but the divine was just guiding me how to deal with it. Like you the demons appear because I was in fear on how and what my body is experiencing as well as like my mind or brain is going to explode.
Kundalini awakening
It's an amazing thing, like you say, you've got to overcome the initial fear and let yourself go. I had a week after this happened just trying to contemplate what had actually gone on, it's great you're sharing it. thanks.
I've been meditating for almost 8 years and I've never had anything like that happens. I kind of welcome it, in a way. Usually nothing happens. I've learned not to seek for such experiences, though. I guess they'll come when and if they will. Part of me wants to experience SOMETHING though. It feels like then I will KNOW what people have said and written about is actually true for me.
Thank you Ben for your story. I meditate quite frequently and I have had some small instances of what felt like my own journey was being pushed further. Of course I had some fears come up during these moments that I addressed as well as contemplated, but regardless, the feeling of not knowing if this is correct, or if this is good is certainly scary. Feeling that first hand many times I can say its a wild ride. I had a few nights laying awake in bed and my body was having multiple experiences that I couldn't explain, no one to talk to, and certainly feeling a bit of fear. Hearing this story helps me to feel more comfort in these experiences, thank you again!
Fantastic. Cheers for the clarity on this, I was hoping you'd open up about these experiences. I've had that very same occurrence, I must say it was the most incredible thing I've ever witnessed, It's nigh on impossible to explain to people because it's an inner vision completely alien to extraneous consciousness.
Many books I've read on this, it's called the 'fountain' by many western esoteric schools, that is the closest analogy you could make of it but, all I can say to anyone is, It was if I was swept into an aurora borealis type 'cloud', or to be more precise, I was that 'cloud', and I also had the 'out of body thing' but no after effects, it was assurance and absolute beauty! In the Italian UR Group's ' Introduction to Magic' series of books, this is explained, and also a warning to 'ride' the after experience, it's a type of temporary schizophrenia and it subsides after a period. But, like you stress, this sort of thing isn't for everybody. You die, essentially, when this happens, that salivation you describe is mentioned in a lot of texts, your heart stops. Cheers, Ben, a great vid, this.
Thank you Ben.
Thank you for the advice 🙏
Thank you so much for the sharing of your inner experience 🙏! It really helps me understanding certain sensations which made me doubt myself. I can now see the path ahead due to your video. Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Amazing share
Thank you ❤
This is absolutely fascinating. I've never meditated in my life, but always hope that one day I'll find a way to just...give it a go. Really hope you can elaborate on the demon you saw, and your teacher's perspective on what occurred. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Very grateful.
Thank you for sharing your story Ben. I think your years of preparation and your conditioning and abilities had an influence that allowed you to progress through OBE plains - an open desire. I wonder if another person with less meditative experience, more ruled by fear, might stop the experience before reaching higher plains - limit themselves to lower plains. If I'm clear on that 🙂.
That was incredible. Thank you for sharing 💖
Good morning Ben, thank you for sharing your insight. 🙏🏻✨✨
Thank you for sharing this Ben. Will you be doing a video about why it happened/what was actually happening and why you saw a demon and what the demon is? I'm very interested in what your teacher told you about it. Many thanks. 🙏
Fascinating.
That was very interesting Ben! I’ll take your cautionary tale seriously 😳
A very helpful insight into how taking it slowly can potentially save sanity! Many thanks for sharing your remarkable experiences. 🌈🐞
This is the value and importance of having a Guru.
I recall the story of someone having an out of body experience during meditation.
He suddenly became very fearful because he was unable to re-enter his body. He started to cry out to Baba, and Baba immediately appeared to 'flip' him back into his body.
Sai Ram 💞🙏
Thanks for sharing Ben, your videos are very informative and authentic.
Thanks for this video
Great video Ben… I had a smidgen of this feeling after Mother Meera, I felt like it was an inner ‘demon’ or darkness that was trying to drag me down. I thought I was going to go mad in the board room at work in front of everyone.
Good morning Ben, I really enjoyed your video on Avatars-thank you for sharing your insights. I strive to follow a spiritual path myself, but I believe it’s important to be discerning when choosing gurus and spiritual teachers.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on a couple of questions, as the answers are not always easy to find.
I looked into Sai Baba, and the first thing I came across was footage of him performing what seemed like simple magic tricks. Could you share your perspective on this? Would an Avatar engage in such acts to impress people?
Additionally, I’m curious about Mother Meera and her marriage. Is it possible for an Avatar to marry a human?
Thank you in advance for your time and wisdom-I truly appreciate it.
Like others, I’m fascinated by how your Teacher “contextualized” this experience: Was the experience given to you because you were spiritually ready for it, or did u tip into it - by accident - because multi-day meditations created conditions that allowed your mind to go where it might otherwise not have gone with a daily practice?
In retrospect, was the experience a “warning” (in the sense of not venturing into the unknown until you are as fully prepared as possible), or as a “gift” (you now have additional insight that - without the experience - would not have been possible.
Also, I assume your Teacher knew this would happen to you. Did he prepare you for it? Give you an inkling this would be a memorable adventure?
I thought about vipassana or even nuttily trying a whole Jesus/Buddha 40+ days/40+ nights excursion lol. But after your experience and your friend's, you gave me the idea to incrementally increase intensity in 30-60min blocks at a time. (uhhh duhh! Why didn't I think of that before!) Wow. I feel you just saved me from a hospital trip THANKS! haha
Do vipassana centers warn about this thing? Or no cause you had knowingly gone past protocol? (that is insane if they don't and know about this lol)
And I know there is no way of knowing until I do it myself too, but "where" exactly do you go? In my head it sounds like you literally go to outer space.
I was always doubtful of these energy pulses of mine during meditation. Thanks for the confirmation! Looking forward to your course! Cheers! :)
Maybe it wasn't a demon, high dimensional beings are like the gods and goddesses in mythologies. Centaurs, Ra, medusa and etc are high dimensional beings. In one my meditations I also felt energy in my entire body and my body was spinning in circles, that is what kundalini energy does. During that state I saw an all seeing eye, Then three hands were going up and then anubis showed and my right ear ringed. Anubis is one of my spirit guides but he can also be guide to those who have a spiritual awakening.
I've had that spinning on many occasions, it's a bit unsettling but I've ignored it and carried on , I think I've discussed it before with you. I hope Ben provides more insights, it was disappointing he didn't disclose what his teacher told him about his experience.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing the feeling of Numbness and energy flow feeling inside the body. I am doing meditating only for about a bit more then 2 years and for at least one year i do have also, everytime i meditate, the numbness in arms and legs. So far as i interpreted it, its a kind of sleepparalysis and i welcome it. For then i know at which state of meditating i am currently in. I do am fully awake with my mind in that moments and can feel the peace in my mind then too. The tingling Energy flow, sometimes even vibrations are comforting feelings for me. Vibrations came in the last half year, never before that.
But out of body experiences i did never had.(OBE). But two days ago it felt i would flow out of my body, more like the energy i do feel coursing through body felt like it was flowing outwards. Then moments or minutes later, while observing with my conciousness, what was happening i thought i heard something like a voice saying "hmmmm", that startled me and i felt like jolting back into the body fully again. So maybe this was almost an OBE will now be a part of my future Meditations. I am glad that you shared your experiences. Now i know what i can expect to come. Anyway i never felt uncomfortable. Even the part of not tracking time while meditating is something i allways experience when meditating. But then i mostly i meditate at least for 2- 8 hours.
Meditating opened a whole new world for me, aswell it helped with concentrating and other things considering mental health. All in all Meditating is a good addition in my daily routine and i dont want to miss it anymore.
Really looking forward to those OBE, if it will change my whole world view of understanding what souls are, what we humans are.
I'm not sure why people get so scared of sleep paralysis. It's like people immediately think something permanent has happened. At most, a bit unsettling.
Fascinating experience! Thank you for honestly sharing your story. You are a brave soul in many ways. You mentioned wishing for a similar consciousness expansion in the future. What would you do differently, if anything, next time you find yourself at the very edge? I think your answer might be helpful to many.
There is actually order that should be followed to achieve yogic meditative state
But most important is Yam Niyam
That are starting step to climb the ladder of ashtang yoga
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting stuff! 🙏 Sounds like you had a kundalini activation or awakening. The symptoms you had correlates, at least to some extent. Also, sounds like you were astral projecting a whole lot. Kundalini awakenings can trigger that ability. Also, what someone else commented. The numbness could be a form of sleep paralysis. Usually one practice astral projection in bed, and sleep paralysis is a state that some people experience before astral projection occurs. And, seeing a stereotypical demon, might have been a visual representation of your subconscious fears, like a hypnagogic hallucination(you also get them before astral projecting). Just my two cents.
Spot on, they are stereotypical fears and cultured misperceptions coming out, nothing 'real'.
I recognise that as astral projection you experienced. I also jolted when coming back to my body :P
Would love to know if ur hip inpinchment had a reaction to the Meditation retreat
Sounds like Kundalini I felt something similar but for way longer. Thats like a 1 on the richter scale..lol Wait till you have a non dual perceptual shift...its whole other ball game. lol Most teachers know exactly what this is I am surprised you didn't get much assistance.
My Higherself/Body are my gurus. I had a spontaneous K years ago without any spiritual practices and I was stopped from doing any lengthy or group meditations. When I attempted my head was shaken very strongly so I couldn't continue. There was no external shaking but indeed in my head there most certainly was. I was being warned and protested. I have seen others hospitalised after lengthy meditation retreats. We naturally over years experience more of who we are as the body adjusts to ascending frequencies.
Yep, your kundalini awakened hehehe congratulations. You should research about that.
Thanks for sharing! How you were observing these sensations during meditation. Was it like a third person perspective where you weren't identified with them? Like simply being the passive observer? I have had sensations like this happen during meditation, and again quite early on when I thought I shouldn't be getting this deep this quickly, but the sensations then distract me and pull me out of focus and get me back into identifying with my senses and self. Thanks!
Have you ever tried DMT or another magical substance like psilocybin? I'm curious as to how deep meditation compares to these states of being 🤔 I've definitely experienced very spiritual experiences with them especially combined with meditation but I've never meditated as intensely as you have.
I’d like to know what your teachers interpretation of this experience was
Who is your Spiritual teacher now Ben ?
Sounds to me like you got to the barrier.. and didn't push farther because of the pressure and fear. 🤷♂ This is common and all breakthroughs require uncomfortable barriers (sometimes extreme) to be broken. You cannot be unmade, not even by the unknown or it would have happened and you already would not BE right now. 🙏❤
I’m guessing you pushed past the barrier?
Not true, awakenings or breakthroughs can happen in all kinds of ways. Sometimes it is gentle and we can slip effortlessly into the awakening, it can vary between individuals and also at different stages of our evolution.
@@Mcgif21 This person knows what they are talking about, yes.
@@tonyhirst3628 Theoretically or practically?
@ they're describing the things that can happen when you get seriously into this type of work. it's explained in many Yoga texts and the Bardo Thodol also highlights the demons and fears that you have to overcome.
What were you going to say about contacting your teacher in your meditation?
My max time is 0ne hour and no more
Why do you wear black? I’ve noticed that you wear it pretty consistently, so I assume this is a choice. Just curious, which I am always, by nature.
