A discussion of becoming light.
The popular notion when a person dies, they go through a darkened tunnel towards the light. Decades ago, I jumped into a flotation tank. One of the meditation exercises was the following. In my mind’s eye, I visualized a ball of light. Once the ball of light formed, I entered it. Being enveloped and surrounded by the soft glow of light, I surrendered or was absorbed by the light and became the light. This is a straightforward meditation technique. A similar preparatory technique is to candle gaze. A simple imaginal technique. The feeling of warmth encompassing you become a melding of being light. And thus becomes a light shining.
Becoming light, you understand the unity of light. It’s like becoming part of an energetic ocean. Easily experiencing the unity of the ocean. And being a single sparkle of light reflecting the vastness of the ocean. There is an intuitive awareness that all is energy, and a sparkle is merely a moment of collapsed singularity (being).
Experiencing this on the mental, emotional, and intuitive level is a gnosis or knowledge of the existence of being. A simple understanding of the spectrum of the infinite myriads of forms (manifestations) which are an ever emergent and disappearing (pulsing) dynamic in an ocean of energy. The various appearances are merely slight shifts or differences in frequency resonating into singular manifestation.
Absorbing into the light is both an expansion and a collapse. When one absorbs into the light, one also expands into all realms of all light (wave) and collapses into a sparkle (particle) of light. Experiencing both the ocean and a drop in the ocean and thus the unity of experience. The experience of both the unity and the singular expression (reflection) of light.
Psychic Realm
Being light and understanding the energy and frequencies of light is an introduction to the psychic experience. Both light and psychic experience have transparency. For a lack of a better notion, there is a thinning of the veil. It becomes easier to experience, change, and manifest many forms. The basic idea is if you can think or imagine something happening. It immediately occurs. There is no differentiation or linear process of time. Initially, this can be disorienting, especially when one thinks of 1000s thoughts and feelings during the day. If every one of these thoughts and feelings immediately manifests or appears. One has lost their filtering of time and process. It would seem crazy, i.e., disorienting, confusing and overwhelming.
How would a person learn to navigate this psychic realm of being? We would need new reference points and new parameters. In our current three-dimensional linear logistical awareness are reference points of self and other. The parameters are what, when, where, why and how. We reference ourselves to self/other, time and space.
However, in the realm of energy and frequency, the reference point (instead of self) becomes being (being as a noun, state, and action). And the parameters, characteristics or frequencies are of being sovereign, compassionate, graceful, and of love. It becomes a matter of being or being aligned in frequency and resonating. This alignment determines the realm and dimension that you are in… and being in resonate relationship with “others.” Thus, the major issue is, what frequency and resonance do you choose? You determine your realm (world and experience) to be? And the notion of past and future collapse into the singular now in which there is an infinite number of possibilities.
This new school playground of being. It is the opportunity to learn to manage, manifest, and experience one’s energy (i.e., their self and their relationships). Manifesting and experiencing immediately whatever we can imagine, feel and be. Initially, this can be confusing and disorienting experience. The new challenge is learning to become intentional creators. Which is merely a step in our progression of becoming divine creators.
Remember, the ontological perspective is that the divine discovers itself through and for itself by being divine. It is the experience where we learned about how to manage ourselves. Not to manage the external world or the realm, but to manage our response to ourselves. Whatever we think, feel and are, we instantly become and be. In a sense, we are expanding beyond the concepts of time, space, and logistical or linear progression of becoming… but to be.
Sidenote:
You can bring the light into you. Bringing the light into yourself may cause some difficulty because the light is bigger and more intense than you are. The idea of making room for the light is about you cleaning your vessel or container so that it can hold the light. This is an age-old yoga tradition of cleaning and conditioning your body to accept higher ordered energy. It is like trying to put too much water pressure through a garden hose or overcharging a battery, resulting in bursting or explosion.
Versus, going into the light. You surrender into and absorb the light. The light envelops you. You expand into the light instead of making room for the light. On one hand, going into the light is intense because the light burns off the old crap that you are holding onto. Yet understanding this process, one can voluntarily release and let go of the old things that we thought we were and are no longer useful. It is surrendering what is no longer useful. Basically, shedding tattered clothes that we no longer need. And instead, we put on or encompass the clear light of being.
The issue is to let go of the old notions of ourselves. Second is to accept and absorb that we are part of the light. Third is knowing via experience that we are divine and come from and are of divine light. This is the ontological perspective that we are inherently born with the spark of the divine. And discover and experience divinity through and by being divine.
This is the transformation, and transfiguration of going beyond the physical body into the energetic or light body. Once we feel, experience, we recognize, expand, and maintain awareness in and through the light body. This does not mean that our physical bodies, for the time being, die or become useless. But that we have expanded our energetic capacity beyond just the physical container of our meat suit. We learn to be and do more in the energetic or light body because of our expanded awareness and the capacity of the energetic body. We are beyond the confines of space and time. There is still a part of us in the physical space and time dimension, but we learn to operate (be) in and with our expanded energetic capacity.
It is easier to let the light hold you (trust), than trying (struggling) to hold the light… when you can be light.
