Spiritual Meme Question Twenty-Three

Feb 28, 2016 21:44

23--what are your most powerful spiritual experiences? if you've transitioned to a different religion/spiritual philosophy, did you recontextualize the experience in any way? did the power or depth of an experience diminish at all due to a transition? if so, why?

( I mulled over this for several days to no effect, I put my fingertips on the keyboard and will see what happens? Read more... )

Would talking to and seeing people "on the other side" count?

Of course they would.
I have never had such experiences myself;
though i have had the feeling recently
of the presence of loved deceased dog.
The feeling is not very strong,
but i am not very sensitive.

"The author of the Cloud of Unknowing and the wise people of Asia advise against paying attention to these "experiences." They are distracting and have nothing to do with enlightenment."

My teacher shares that view. He asks us, "So if you're able to float in the air, are you more compassionate? Do you perceive reality more clearly?"

Yes!
Exactly!
Thank you.
