@inFlow haha that's something you won't forget to soon! Same thing happened here. Freaked me out for sure. I remained looking at the room through the eyes from the body location (not like an OBE) but yet awareness/consciousness was projected out in front of me. Somehow consciousness had become liberated from the body location. At first I backed off b-c I had the same reaction as you thinking maybe I wouldn't come back again. So pulled myself together for a moment and thought: "something special is presenting itself here-why not just surrender to it?". So I did and something really amazing happened. Suddenly I was no longer aware of the room but had entered into a state of Samadhi. The room I was in and even the world no longer existed. I didn't know about Samadhi at the time so I searched NDE's because that's all I could think of . But It didn't quite fit. Only later on did i find out what Samadhi was and it fit perfectly. Moral of the story here you may have missed an opportunity. Next time-go for it! You'll come back again. You'll be different, but you'll come back. Just as a side note: There were no substances involved, only total surrender (anyone can experience it anytime).

@Serotoninluv Listen to this.

@Tistepiste The fish in the aquarium have different personalities even among same species and sex. Just noted as an observation.

Ever hang out with a cockatoo?

@TistepisteNot sure but my dog thinks she's a person.

@Shaun Ever do any IR photography? Ocean/sky shots look especially amazing. Surreal and otherly.

Yes. It just went unrealize before. Yes. Yes. Infinity is all inclusive. Not really. Intelligence could be just as much a hindrance as a help. Depends on how it is applied, by ego or universal intelligence. It is a duality. A seed is no different then a fully blooming flower.

@moon777light Went back to the vid. to listen to more of it. I think Leo answers your question right after he talks about Flower and Song when he talks about the Teotl being an empty shape shfter. First you must empty yourself completely then you can become anything, or in your case create anything.

@moon777light Was just watching Leo's new vid. that you mention (thanks) and got to the point where he talks about Flower and Song so I see where your coming from now. The picture above IMO represents that beautifully. Could that be just coincidence? I think not. It's all one with the unfolding process of creation. Connect with that never ending - interconnected process and everything will become available to you. If for you it is prayer then it's prayer. But rest assure that you are that process.

@moon777light Ask the cosmos for divine inspiration. Aborigional art depictiing "DreamTime" -(reality)

@Cortex You go first.

@Sukhpaal Could it be that your self identity is beginning to dissolve and so it is over compensating to validate it's existance? Observe and contemplate that to see if it's true.

@dimitri The answer to that can be found in these words of Nisargadatta..... What changes is not real. What is real does not change.

All joking aside I really have no idea.

@Jack River SUPER ego. - JUMBO shrimp. Get it? An ego is an ego no matter how you slice it.

@Jack River The same person who coined the phrase- JUMBO shrimp

The three faces of ego seems like one big illusion to me. All of this does.

All I see is illusion.

The realization that there is no direct experience with an external world is quite mind blowing.

lol

Here's another just so we're sure we're on the same page.

Regular ego needed a place to slip into it's Super Ego costume.

@Jack River It seemed to fit here for some odd reason. Maybe it's just me?

I know. It's an odd model and it's got ego written all over it. And not just in the literal sense
