Adventures in meditation


Peace. One Saturday morning I had woke up like 5-6 am. My Queen works the overnight shift, so I was in bed with my youngest sun Ch’iam and decided I was going to do some breathing excercises. I put my hands together, lacing my fingers between each other while leaving my indexes extended and touching at the tips pointing toward the ceiling. I also put the palms of my feet together pointing downward. I closed my eyes and began inhaling as deeply as I could without straining and while counting seven seconds before exhaling. I would stretch my exhale for seven seconds as well. Now, I had my hands in this gesture because I have learned that in order to fully delve into the layers of the mind one must “complete the circuit”, meaning since the ends of our extremities(hands, feet, head, etc) release heat they are the open ends of your bodily circuit. Touching another part of the body creates a closure in which your energy is being channeled back into self. I don’t know why I pointed to the ceiling though. I chose to breathe slowly and deeply to increase the amount of oxygen to the brain which would fuel brain activity. It is known that animals breathe very rapidly, so to further distance ourselves from those base urges we should maintain a slower breathing pattern. I chose to count to seven simply because seven is God in the Supreme Mathematics (I usually count to Born though). I continued doing this for maybe five minutes and began to feel a force of some sort revolving around me. The force was moving circular passing above my head and under my feet. It was weird, but it was ill.. I could feel the centrifugal pressure and it appears that the position of my hands in the center of my body were acting as some sort of counterweight to the force moving around me. Oddly enough as new as this experience was it felt relatively normal. It wasn’t spooky. This went on for no longer than a minute, because as I started marveling at what I felt I lost concentration on my breathing and timing. I took a second to do the knowledge on what exactly had just transpired and I instantly thought back to something Bro. Alim Bey was referencing about “Merkabah”, also called the Star Tetrahedron. He suggested that the Merkabah is a vehicle of divine light that is used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels or ciphers within ciphers), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another. I cee this suggesting that breathing techniques could be a way to unlock latent capacities within our DNA, from the generations prior(other dimensions) or to tap into unused faculties of our minds (higher realms)-NOT like Buckaroo Banzai though. Kind of like tapping into what you knew as an infant, but forgot upon the trauma of physical birth, ya know? That’s another dimension as well. Thoughts?

I've experienced the same phenom when doing salat some years ago...the most intense experience was when I worked @ a summer camp...It was the mid-day salat, with 4 rakahs/cycles...during the 4th rakah, I felt a presence/aura, & heard high-pitched sounds that can be best described as pure thought before translated into words...I could feel my pineal gland as a sun of sorts, & could have sworn I felt planets revolving around my head @ a terrific speed...I was disrupted by counselors looking for me to hop the bus on the way to the beach, but the aura lasted a good 20 minutes or so after the fact...I tried again @ home & blacked out (forgot to breathe), I did though learn to maintain that aura, & people around me could see a difference...
