OMG-2:: Midnight Visions

I read somewhere that Ramgopal varma used to sense some invisible presence of something or someone while shooting for some film. which later inspired him to make Bhoot . How do you explain such paranormal unexplainable events.?What do you say for something that you really sure yet cant prove it? Hallucination ,Dream, Dellusion....Schizophrenia..Bipolar or simply plainly lunatic and Mad. As a child i grew up in Govt estates where open spaces between houses would be equivalent to half the football ground. I remember when i used to run around the trees and moors, as more than once i felt i heard someone calling my name through i was never really sure if i ever it heard or not ..or just it was my hyper imaginative mind at work. Paranormal experiences were not at new to me. Inspite of my cosmopolitan background i had to believe in these things of unknown after few hard knocks. But things never went very serious or found i witnessed anything dangerously out of this world that i raise any alarm. Some people belive them.Some dont but its hard to ignore it. Shamans-Superstitutions, tantriks-Quacks existed from time immemorial. I read somewhere that most of horrific violent crimes were more often than not commited under influence of some maleovolent spirits.

Coming back to present , it so happened when i was posted in vizag. I used to live all alone and it so happened on one rainy night around midnight . I was sleeping on my tummy , it was between 2 and 4 am when i felt something warm glowing and crushing force as i sweated profusly. this was not the 1st time ,in past several tines i had such kind of experiences between 2 and 4 am This could be a dream as well. Sometimes dream do appear quite realistic..Like Di caprio in Inception or Keanue Reeves in Matrix i have my on method to see if i was in dream world or astral or real world . As i had to test to see if i was in dream or not. I put my finger in my mouth i could feel saliva and slight tinge pain as i bit my finger. Now i know its not a dream. But what is it i can do? I know no defence against that i cannot see. My top priority was to see that i dont give in to panic or fear . Once we start getting frightened , all our reasoning ability goes out of window and we lose what slight chance we might have.Though i forgot almost everything about martial arts from my teens , one part of training which was drilled into my bone and memory was the importance of need to remain calm. To release muscular tension i observed my breath till it became calm and steady.

That was when i got into zone between wakefulness and sleep . A kinda trance-hypnogic state when i saw our Art of Living founder, Sudrashan Kriya yoga guruji His Holiness Shri Shri Ravi Shankar (SSRK) in his trademark white dress and signature smile. Well is this a dream or not i didnt know nor i was motivated to find out. SSRK exhorted "Repeat the mantra that i tell you and this feeling will disappear" I never prayred in my life . I dont know even a single line of any mantra. Some how i was never ritualistic.i read in a book where in extreme stressful situation that our mind gets disassociated and creates illsuions. with this reasoning I replied my reluctance to SSRK.. H.H.SSRK though spoke calmly , i felt his voice boomed at top voice that my ear drums might have shattered..""REPEAT THIS MANTRA OR IT WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU"" I didnt know what came over me.I dont know what IT meant but i readily agreed . I repeated along..First two syllables were said in trance and by time i said the third syllable, the crushing feeling disappeared and by time i finishd the third part of mantra, i was out of trance and my ears caught final syllables of mantra uttering from dry lips.I was wide awake with clear memory. Was that a dream or Dream within another Dream or hallucination or a vision ??Zen buddhism says why worry over dream when its over the moment when you wake up? At same time SSRK always says Sohum or SoWhat?(Golden words). I remebered my vizag AOl teacher fleetingly once said to me You cannot escape Guruji..!!..i laughed in my mind and mentally i said Do you know who am I ?....now i guess she is very much right?? So at end what should I say ...just ... OM Namah Shivayaa
