No, I didn’t sit straight; I didn’t sit crossed leg, infact I didn’t even make an attempt to sit down at all. I went to my room well past my bed time, calculating the few hours of sleep I could muster. Involuntarily, I switched off the light and jumped into bed with my eyes closed and ready to pray.
I noticed a prominent clear bright fiery circle in front of me as though it was a picture I was staring at. It was the reminiscence of the light from my room captured somewhere within my brain. I take this opportunity to focus on it and meditate. I know this bright ball will soon disintegrate but I wanted to follow it as long as it lasted. It was as if I was in a balcony looking at a something majestic and I was conscious would not last long. Then rays of fire engulfed my dark visionary space and everything was alit, the ball started to diminish and I found myself trying hard to stay focused at the eye of it. I knew it wouldn’t last long and I know it didn’t. As a natural evolution, everything melted and what lay in front of me was a dark tunnel. I tried to continue to meditate, draw my silver lining om but that was impossible, my mind wanted to relish what It had just experienced.
I had a very short session today, yet powerful and in this short time I was focused and my mind was still. Could it be possible that one could actually create such beauty through meditation without external stimuli? Could the mind be so powerful to let you wonder on such beauty? What if we could really create such illusion, such space, and such beauty to focus our mind, would that be a state of meditation? I don’t know but this few minutes of eyeing the fireball has left me with much curiosity and excitement to the limitless possibilities of imagination that I can look in front of me…
