Searching for the truth – that has always been there
I recently saw a quote that inspired me to write:
“Life Is A School, Where You Learn How To Remember What Your Soul Already Knows.” ~Author Unknown
This certainly rings true to me. Have you ever had that feeling that you have already experienced what you living at the current moment? Some people call it déjà vu.
I will tell you about an experience that I’ve had that goes beyond that déjà vu feeling…
When I was younger, I had this experience where I felt totally awakened – if only for a moment. This occurred when I was in a meditative state. First, I felt myself rising above my house, then rising above the clouds, then rising above the earth. Finally, I found myself hovering beside a nearby planet – looking at the earth from afar.
There was this guide with me, who was sort of showing me the grand scheme of things. You would think that all of that would have scared me. I mean, if I think of it now I can see how it could be scary. But the funny thing is…I actually felt more at peace than I ever had before.
I felt as though I was at home, and like that was the reality. It was only for a brief period of time, but I do remember the feeling of “knowing” all and feeling at ease with everything in my life. Now I know that we are here to learn. We are here to experience. Of course, many people would think this is a very strange type of story. And hey, maybe some would say it was a dream. I’m not sure exactly what it was.
Up until now, this has always just been a very personal experience that I’ve had – that I’ve kept mostly to myself.
But the thing that stuck with me the most is the feeling of comfort – the feeling of KNOWLEDGE that was just there. It was a great feeling – it’s very unlike the feelings of anxiety and fear that we go through during our lives here.
This is why that quote rings so true to me. I feel like when we are born, a block is automatically in place within us. We do not remember all that our soul knows because that would defeat our learning process. Of course, we must retain some of our knowledge, but definitely not all. We must learn lessons in this life and learn how to deal with difficult situations. And we also get to experience pure joy in happy situations.
Life is indeed a complex array of events and emotions. I have been through my share of difficult events and joyful events, as we all have. But I can appreciate that it is a learning experience, through and through. And one day, we will be awakened to all that is true – that we have always known.
Thanks Tara! I’m having that feeling now. Trying to remember what my soul already knows!
Right, Pesanti! Thanks for stopping by :)
– Love the photo of the shoes! It reminds me of a fneird (the groom) who when kneeling at the alter, his “friends” had unknowingly put “HELP ME” on the soles of his shoes I like “I DO” much better:)July 30, 2011 5:15 pm
I don’t think it’s strange or a dream. I’ve had similar exyesterday.I was also in a meditative state. Only it was more like a story being told with pictures that went up into an endless spiral (which I later found to be an interesting factor) The knowledge contained in each picture seemed to be incomprehensible to the human mind. I remember thinking how will I ever remember all of this…because it was like the history of exhistance told in 60 seconds through this endless spiral of knowledge. I knew I had to hold on to one piece of information…one message that I could take back with me that would ” speak to me” so I had to make it short…simple…and perfect…
I told myself that everything was going to be okay. And to keep doing what I had always done.
When I was back in reality…that was important because I had been in the habit for years of daily prayer for God to guide me or help me become what I was meant o be and do what I’m meant to do. And to be better today than I was yesterday.
It has helped me see the true value in life.
Continued. …
And the feelings of comfort and knowledge. I also felt completely at peace…because I understood everything to be as it should be. And I was so greatful for that.
Continued again…
Oh yeah and the guide that seemed to be guiding you…I had unknowingly practiced meditating throughout my childhood. Anytime I could focus on black n white checkered pattern and I wowoulsay and repeat to myself …I am focused on these blocks(As my eyes wild go out of focus) and I wild repeat.”..I Still Am” I still am…… … … Over n over until I could hear my thoughts still chanting in the background but then I could talk to the “other me” that knew everything… I thought of it like i split into 2 inside my head…and the unconscious me knew the secrets of the universe. I always had a conscious understanding that God had given me a task and that i was special in a way unlike most others because I was aware of this.
Thanks for sharing your nice experiences.
