I had been involved in spiritual life for some time and did a lot of meditation and there were many kinds of experiences and states.. then i come to a kind of abiding in the I Am because i saw that the seeking was all that's obscuring the ever present reality. Prior i was a very intense seeker but there was far more relaxation after that. I wasn't seeking any state. But then after an illness there was this intense pressure building up...unrelenting and a lot of terror too. Like a fear of annihilation or death. Then at a certain moment i sat down and it was like the localization of the senses completely disappeared. There was just this conscious void of being self-aware.. subtle states come and went and then there was like a self recognition that i can't explain. Like ohh this blissful recognition like oh this is Me!.. When the senses come back they were passive and everything was experienced within this me i am..and there was no fear of death.. no death in fact. The funny thing was in my seeking i had preferred Buddhist and advaitc approachs. Very stripped back approaches. But after this i was doing pujas to Shakti, I'm a painter and i also started painting various deities like Chhinnamasta and do on... this all happened spontaneously over 15 years ago. It was strange behavior for me. Now its like my normal state is this seemlessness of awareness and its sensory/mental content. Like a transparency of being. But within that divine qualities can shine forth like love happiness peace and so on. Seems quite natural though, like nothing special because its hard to know anything else.. where isn't god? I can't find where they aren't haha
so beautifully described Igor. ( this subtle state now, is felt as a thick wave in the head area and open in the chest, yet it feels as there is no body at all , no sense of one )
Accidentally we have hit upon Samadhi. It is very great thing for the world that we are able to lead people into the Samadhi state. For hundreds of years Samadhi has been held to be very mystical, very mysterious, very difficult and impossible. The goal of all Sadhana (spiritual practice) is to reach Samadhi. What we have discovered is very very simple. The problem with Samadhi is, it is too simple. That is the problem. The experience is extremely easy. But what is very difficult is to transmit, it is very difficult. To communicate that which cannot be communicated is very difficult. Samadhi is such a thing that it is a state where you don't have to go anywhere. There is no place to go. There is no place to start. There place to end..
Samadhi gets touched upon by accident as a part of the universal grace, which is ever assisting to evolve a seeker or anyone who's on the inward journey. On the other hand, any experience which has been experienced, can be replicated utilizing appropriate postures, pranayama and other techniques. Once sufficient understanding over samadhi, mind and body has been attained, entering into samadhi will become a breeze. Until you find a guru who can guide you through to reach it easily, the only way is to experiment with your body, mind and energy.
