Experiences on Meditation

[christinaleestemaker]

I will start the topic with an example not to be followed.

Years ago I got the advise to meditate in a candle flame.
So I put a candle on the table and started to enjoy the flame.
It was so amazing and beautiful in the same time,
I sit restfully in my enjoyment
as the Zen buddhist said: are you in a hurry, go to sit down.
So I had not any hurry,
also not when my table get fired.
No the house is not fired down, for I could stop fireing.
From that time I never use a wooden candle-bracket, but metal.


Anybody else some nice experiences?

Hhaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa marvellous, this could have been a story of HPB, you was directly in a state of black Piet, we call the servant of StNicolaas.

Years ago I bought a free standing wood/coal burning stove. Someone I knew was selling canel or fireplace coal, so I bought a truck load. I was going to sit back and meditate on the fossil remains of plants and animals, millions of years old, releasing their trapped essence in a form of pyro psychometry into my living room. Unaccustomed with burning coal and inexperienced with this variety of coal, ( I always find out the hard way) it throws a flame 2 feet high and releases 20,000 btu's per lb. I filled the firebox (about 40 lbs) and lit it. In about 10 minutes all the coal was burning simultaneously, it sounded like a freight train was roaring through the house. I went outside and looked up at the chimney(40 ft.) and saw a 10 ft flame ,like a roman candle shooting into the sky. It looked like an Apollo Rocket that some maniac fired upside down. I ran into the house and yelled into the deafening sucking sound, evacuate the house. I soon realized that I had unleashed a million year old primordial monster that was trying to get out of the fire box and consume me, everything and everybody in the neighborhood. I closed all the air dampers in an attempt to smother it out, but the fire breathing monster took on a life of it's own and would not die. My peaceful meditation turned into a fight to the death with a prehistoric elemental nightmare. Finally it groaned and gasped and then... BOOM... it lifted a foot off the floor, disconnecting the exhaust pipe from the chimney, covering the entire living room and myself with gritty black soot.

I have to say I'm a bit of a pyro. I like to watch the flames "dance". Whether it is a simple candle or a huge bonfire. The light from the fire, warm and inviting. It is always beautiful and somewhat relaxing to me.

So enough on meditation, I wish everyone a good night and restfull sleep and to morrow a healty sunrise.

How different the eyes see from the camera. Camera show purple and I don't see any violet in this flame as wel as in the insence stick.

I see all warmth vibrations walking in and out the flame of light.
Beautiful

A nice advice from me now.

Put off your tv or monitor
Place a candle for it , with tv or monitor as background.
In a metal candle -bracket of course and from a safe distance from your tv or monitor.

Light the fire

and go to sit restfully back from all in a restful chair.

Don't close your eyes, but look in the flame

and don't go to tell me you only see a flame and black behind
but tell me what you real see.


Realy it is amazing, the rays and finer rays and much more

Let me know!!!
