The following piece is an entry I made in an online forum in June, 2008. It is an account of an event that happened to me over 10 years ago, which I will never forget.
_/|\_ Greetings to One and All, This is my first time here, therefore my first post. I don't wish to appear to know it all, but I would like to share with you what I have learned about Oneness and how I achieved this understanding. As stated in this forum prior to this, meditation is the means to achieve a state of "No Thought.” For me, it wasn't something that happened on the first try, nor did it happen without great anticipation. For months I diligently meditated twice each day, once at sunrise and then at sunset. I tried and tried and tried repeatedly to put my mind in a state of "no thought," which I had read about in many of the Eastern Philosophical texts. In those manuscripts written by the greatest minds of civilization, they talked of Nirvana, a state of bliss where each of us resides as Spirit already. Yes, already, which didn't "click" with me until one day when I was so frustrated I was on the verge of just giving up the quest. I figured that it was just not going to happen for me, I didn't have what it took. I was resigned to failure. At that last moment, when I came to the decision to give it up, the thought came to me to just release all my anxiety; my hold on this burning desire to achieve nirvana, Self-Realization. It was at that moment that I realized I was hanging onto this plane of existence FOR DEAR LIFE! I remembered reading that it was necessary to have this burning desire in order to achieve the state of understanding, Self-Realization. I also read that it was necessary to be brave enough and willing enough to "die a little death." So, I did! I resolved to allow this to happen. At that instant, "I" stepped BETWEEN two moments. 2B cntd
