I have a question for you all, if anyone wants to answer since you're all spiritual people I figured I might get some valuable insight here.:smile:
In the past, due to "bad", for lack of a better term, experiences with being a spiritual person, due to getting way too deep into trance states and meditations where I saw visions and astral projected way out of my body and into the universe outside of earth, I completely shut down my spirituality for a good 8 years.
I'm still very young, so I'm happy this happened at an early age rather than later in life where I might get "stuck in my ways".
So today, and I know this sounds a bit intense, I have regained my spiritual nature through a series of three days. The first two days were a hell within a hell in experiences that *could* have landed me in a psych ward, and the third day was a release of all that I had previously feared. A outpouring of nothingness, in the form of tears.
I don't feel scared anymore of spirituality, and I've consumed so much information that I have so many tools I can use to further my development and interest.
My question is, and there are a few. Once you got past the fear (if you had any) of spirituality and the spiritual side of yourself which is calm and yet- powerful and in the moment, what did you do? What was your first step toward a better or more proactive spiritually driven life?
Right now I feel inclined to just enjoy the ride, enjoy the calm inner state of mind I have. I guess I want to go even deeper into that calmness, where I am one with all that is around me. But I guess, on some level, I don't want to shift again to a state of fear. How can I make the inner peace and calm mind something that is permanent?
