Introduction (PeaceHarmony)

Hello
My story:
I was a terribly selfish and chaotic person as a child and teenager, but by the end of teenage years I started reading a lot about Ramana Maharshi, Neem Karoli Baba (mostly via Ram Dass), Carlos Castaneda's books, source texts of buddhism and hundreds of NDE experiences. It was mostly an intellectual curiosity, I wanted to know the truth. I felt very lonely and started having a desire to help the world and that is what saved me.

Six years ago I had my experience, I was basically meditating all day instead of reading & playing videogames, not any trained meditation but just a general "do nothing" state of being. Then I felt a call to watch a certain movie and during the movie everything changed. I saw with my mind's eye (but very intensely) a tunnel of light to my left with all my ancestors and it said that they love me and that I am never alone. I was crying tears of joy, my shirt became really wet because of the tears. I thought at the time: "everything that we go through is worth it if we get to this state every once in a while" (once in a while could be afer many lifetimes, it would still be worth). I called this experience at the time "receiving the holy spirit" even thought I wasn't christian. Altough many NDE experiencers see Jesus so I know there is something in christianity.

The following days were strange, it is like I opened a door to the spirit world and it didn't close again, and we humans aren't made for that. Nowadays I take anti-psychotic meds to close it or otherwise I'll be hearing voices and being paranoid.

Only some years later I stabilized enough to have my "dark night of the soul" where I saw everything wrong with my life and how I was selfish in so many ways, so recently I've been trying to share the message that spirituality is mainly a path from selfishness to selflessness and charity. If your path made you realize this, you are on a good path. If otherwise (for example: you feel nothing matters and people should care for themselves first), you may be walking in circles and not evolving. That's just my opinion though.

Use your gifts to help others.
