"My first profound experience with silence outside of meditation, occurred several months after I started meditating.  I was standing very close to a teacher of Transcendental Meditation, when suddenly I had a very powerful experience.  It's hard to put into words exactly what I felt, but it was like an implosion, where everything suddenly came to a standstill.  At first I was confused by the experience, and it was only later, that I began to understand it, as I  compared it to experiences I'd had in meditation.  I came to realize that people who have meditated for a long time, begin to become imbued with the qualities of the transcendent, and carry this stillness, silence or calm quality with them wherever they go.  And there are actually several other positive qualities that go hand-in-hand with this calmness that one begins to radiate.  And I think most people can perceive these in different ways and on different levels.

       My second powerful experience of silence occurred several years later as I approached a meditation retreat, where many people were on an intensive 2 week long meditation course.  Because there were so many people, and because I arrived during the actual time when they were meditating, I began to experience that now familiar feeling when I was still  a quarter of a mile or so from the retreat.  This time the experience wasn't just momentary, but actually lasted 15 or 20 minutes before I gradually acclimatized to the stillness.  The whole area surrounding the retreat was effused with silence.  It was palpable for me and I suspect for many others as well."

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover."

From Cheyhusky

"Let me attempt to convey what it means to meet someone with extra high white light energy.

I believe that all things we perceive within our five senses exist only temporarily and everyone who perceives high white light energy from someone like a Reiki Master or a Buddha can have different experiences. I am convinced that not one person will experience the exact same feelings of light energy, this I believe to be a personal experience.

From my own experiences meeting with Reiki Masters, Psychics, Healers and religious beings I can truly say it is a very powerful and loving feeling, which can be very euphoric at times.  It's as though you feel something very different is going on and know something has changed you in some way."

 

There are 2 ways to spread light;   to be a candle,
or the mirror that reflects it."

From Cheyenne:

"The first time I met someone who was a strong and pure individual, i.e. they carried a great deal of Light, I was entranced, yet confused.  The energy they emanated was almost intoxicating and I wanted nothing more than to just hang around them.  It felt so good to be in their presence, but I didn't understand why.  They looked just like everyone you meet on the street so I knew the difference was not on the outside.  But what was it?  After I left the immediate vicinity of this person I felt a sort of let-down.  It seems the positive energy I felt came from them, and not me.  

In the months to come I began to understand more about this phenomenon.  I read, asked questions, and did my own spiritual techniques regularly.  I could see myself changing right before my eyes.  Over the years, others began to feel Light emanating from me too!  What a pleasant surprise!  And yet there can be a downside to carrying so much Light.  Many people will gravitate to me because it feels good to be near the Light, but when they leave they feel something was 'taken away'.  A person of Light will also inadvertently act like a flashlight in the dark, shining Light on all the hidden and dark things in anyone around.  Though it is quite unintentional, the recipient may suddenly feel very exposed or unworthy.  This can lead to 'shooting the messenger' (the person of Light).  These experiences have made me stronger in ways I could not have comprehended all those years ago when I first felt this Light.  It has also inspired me to live a life of relative seclusion, much like a monk. " 

"The lady who I choose as a model is a well-known worker here. She works in very many different healing modalities and is guided to use the one which most suits her clients. Her whole being shines and can be clearly seen in her eyes and her face. Spirit works in many ways through her and she is shown the way often through signs. She is of Irish descent and has been intuitive since her childhood. She fascinates everyone who comes into her presence and can enthrall you with anecdotes of spiritual events in her life. This, along with her presence, encourages me to move with the flow of events in my life and try not to get too bogged down in the mire. I honor her as a beacon for the people of this city and her friends and family around the world."
