In this blog I am about to do something I have never done before. That is to publicly expose in writing the apparitions of my mind.
As a long time meditator and devotee of the Divine I have come to believe that visions are a part of the experience of a spiritual life. In vision I have journeyed through seven galaxies, explored underworlds, rode wildly on a speeding chariot, swam deep into the ocean and landed on an island that was completely dry but deep beneath the sea. I have traversed through space and time. I have experienced the beginning of creation, Dante's version of hell and been carried on the back of Lord Shiva in a chair made of white marble. All in the realm of mind during meditation and the dream state.
Therefore it did not seem unusual to me when after several days of fasting on water alone a vision filled meditation beckoned.
The call to meditate on this particular day was overwhelmingly urgent.
The moment I closed my eyes I saw Maharishi Omdev. His piercing gaze was fixed upon me. I opened my eyes with a snap and looked at the time. 5:40 p.m. The date was 5/4. That seemed curious.
I closed my eyes again and let myself merge with the quiet still energies that mark the start of my deeper meditations.
Maharishi Om- (Guruji's) face appeared again in my minds' eye. The expression on his face was serious and he had the force of authority about him.
In my vision his power seemed even more magnified. This was a person that had the ability and strength to do anything, even command the Universe. I felt the excitement of awe at his presence that I might have felt if a superhero were standing in front of me.
Here is a secret: (Since meeting Maharishi Om I have had the underlying sense that he is one of the great, powerful and possibly terrifying masters of the Universe, disguised as a kind and humble religious man living in Temples and dressed in orange clothing).
All at once in my vision he was transformed. He was dressed head to toe in the garb of an ancient warrior. Like some powerful ancient god he stood before me all in white with his hair blowing wildly in the thunderous night. He kept his unblinking eyes focused in my direction. He was pure strength.
I sensed a motion like a helicopter circling. I saw Guruji's arms waving with the grace, stealth and precision of a ninja. He created incredibly fast circles in the air. The energy all around us began to spin at a terrific rate of pace. The movement of his arms created fierce powerful jolts of spinning energy. The propelling movement, spinning faster and faster was causing us to move backward in time.
I realized he was taking me on a journey to an ancient realm. I knew instantly where we were. I caught a glimpse of Lord Hanuman and began to cry.
'Guruji is the Lord of the Wind!' I thought to myself.
At that moment he was the wind.
It was an ancient time. I saw myself as Sita.
'I am Sita!'
The Lord of the Wind carried Hanuman toward me. I was rescued. All that had been stolen had been retrieved. I saw the glorious Goddess, Mother Durga. When I saw Guruji again he was radiant and powerful like a King. His heart was blazing in fiery white light. Then I saw him transform again. He became the Goddess. He was the male version of the Divine Mother, Durga. He was the male counterpart to Durga.
Suddenly my meditation ended. I opened my eyes trembling from the incredible ostentatious grandeur of this vision in meditation.. I sat quietly wondering at the way the mind could allow one to experience a vision with so much detail and have it feel so real.
This had to have been one of my most incredible visions. It stunned me. But I was left with an amazing feeling of expanded energy and empowerment.
There was more to this vision, I have not disclosed it all. But it is enough to show the magnificence of the magical, mystical mind and to show that we may all be much more then we perceive ourselves to be.
By the way, when the meditation ended the time was 5:54p.m. All of that happened in fourteen minutes, it felt like a lifetime.
