Out-of-Body, Bufo
Falling Into The Void
Typically I meditate for around a half hour in the mornings. This morning, I decided to set a timer instead, and meditate for a full hour.
This was the longest I’ve meditated while kneeling. During the meditation I had a very brief interaction with the same energy as the Bufo. It was a message of caring, and just a glimpse.
I went back to bed after the meditation, and started to get on my phone. About a week ago, I had a vision of sorts of myself letting go of my phone, and everything going white. Since then, I have thought about using my phone less (mostly just a thought though, my behavior hasn’t changed 😛).
So as I laid down today, I thought: let’s just set the phone down, and enjoy the peaceful morning. I laid there, with no intention of falling asleep, but just enjoying the sound of the rain, and the quiet morning.
I slowly drifted off to sleep.
I dreamed a bit. Nothing crazy.
Then, suddenly, I was in a huge spacious black area. It was like staring into a massive underground cave. I knew immediately something was up, and my awareness was completely alert and awake, like normal waking life.
There was music and this massive presence in the space. This presence was enormous. I started having a conversation with it, though it was mostly me talking to it… it didn’t say much back, directly.
I was friendly. I recognized how large and powerful this thing was. I said out loud it could easily rip me apart, if it wanted.
It started sending low-frequency vibrations into me. It sent waves of these vibrations. It was like sitting in front of a wall of subwoofer speakers. Since I was completely aware, and knew I was experiencing something mystical, I figured my best strategy was to just relax and enjoy whatever came, and hope for the best.
After a few pulses of vibrations, I jokingly said, “What, no visuals?” A faint symmetrical psychedelic vision appeared briefly, then returned to blackness.
Then I started being whooshed around. I was traveling incredibly fast through this vast space. The sensations were actually quite scary, but I just relaxed and enjoyed it, figuring that I was screwed if this presence was unfriendly anyways.
It put me into a harness, and hung me up.
Since I couldn’t see, I felt around, and felt two donut-shaped objects around my arms, sort of like putting my arms in inner tubes. I was hanging from these tubes.
I felt up, and attached at the top was a rope.
I started to climb the rope, which created slack in the tubes.
The rope was tied in such a way that I could get out by sliding the loose part around my body, as long as I held my body up.
I started to take the slack and move it around my body, but then had the thought: this is actually pretty dangerous, because if I let go of the rope while it’s partially around my body, then it could strangle me.
So I stopped what I was doing, and thought about what to do next.
At this point, my vision started to come in. I could see my hand holding the rope, and the rope attached to a ceiling above.
As I was debating what to do, the attachment point at the ceiling started to come undone. It was obvious that I was going to fall soon, through no action on my part.
I watched the ceiling attachment loosen completely, until the entire apparatus detached, and I started to free-fall. I let go and enjoyed the fall – what else could I do?
I want to reiterate that this felt completely, 100% real.
I fell into the void, watching the ceiling zoom away from me.
As I was falling, I thought: I wonder how long I’ll be here? I’ve read that when you’re in a jhana, you can stay there for hours, or even longer. Again, seeing my powerlessness in the situation, I simply accepted whatever was going to happen.
I continued to fall.
After a bit, I simply woke up, alert.
I’ve never seen anything like this. I seem to be saying that a lot, recently.
