I sat meditating and suddenly was moving away from my body but still connected to it. This moving was on the inside but was not astral projection. I was moving into other spaces on the inside. Recognising the world and then the universe before me as I moved into amazing places. Then I was aware of the Light as a shape before me. I was the space the light appeared in. I realised I was much more than my mind and body but still connected to them. I was aware in spaces that are completely safe and very, very normal. Finally I noticed I was a space and that all things were before me. The experience was of no thing being outside of me. This was home. A home that required nothing to complete it. A space that needed nothing to be taken from it or added to it. So it was perfect.

And then I realised there was more behind me that I was not. Following this, information began pouring down into my being. I saw it flow like a waterfall of words and symbols. My mind reacted to these experiences. And I noticed the difference between thought and a more permanent state of being or witness beyond it. This confirmed my realisation that I was both beyond and connected to my mind and body. And that when you’re really meditating you’re not thinking, speaking or doing.
