RE: Near Death, The Void and Naked Awareness (SWC)

I loved reading your story because on a subconscious level I know exactly what you mean and in my consciousness I remember the same experience laying in bed as a child and feeling lost in the void as if I could just forget this life and body. It scared me then because I enjoyed a sense of knowing what I was rather than the freedom of being nothing. The way you wrote it helped me experience it with you and I am planning to resteem soon!

Thank you very much. I think much of the good that has come from your contest is precisely this remembering! The "yes, that happened to me too but I've since forgotten about it!" experience seems common. It also brings back a sense of self-knowing and self-power, something our mainstream culture takes great pains to lead us away from, as the consequences could be a happier, freer people with different priorities to those advertised. Thanks for the comment.

Good morning.. Please check on mine too. It's almost expiring

OMG, I used to get that also. I'd feel like I was floating above my body, then I would feel very vulnerable so I stopped allowing it. must be millions of kids who experience this and dont know what to do with it.

Exactly! I think just that knowledge of "what is this?", "what can I do with this?" and not forgetting "Wow, so others can do the same!" can lead to a major transformation. I don't think it is an understatement to say it would be revolutionary. Such knowledge has always been the preserve of the priests, shamans, mystics and outsiders, yet we know that many people have had such experiences randomly.

Thats wild, when i was a kid my room was super dark and if i wasnt imagining shafow figures i was Seeing and speaking numbers that would inflate to unimaginable size when i spoke them, but i wasnt speaking, not really, i was thinking them and seeing them apear, i still dont know why or what it all means but i dtill remember very clearly the feeling of being in a void
