Hi Vikas!

The other guides are happy with what I've done, which means this is officially the end of this guiding thread, but I'm happy to talk to you whenever you want.

Check for private messages on this forum, which can be found at the top next to the little icon that looks like a letter. You'll receive one from me and one from an admin who will add you to a Facebook group called LU Aftercare.

I've really enjoyed guiding you and I look forward to hanging out with you on the other side.

hi Steve

thank you so very much for guiding me. the last few months have been transformative and it wouldn't been possible without your insights, patience and keeping me on track while my thoughts strayed.

I started the LU process with some level of apprehension but now having been thru it, i am a huge advocate will recommend it to my friends.

You are volunteering your time to help others and that is very honorable. I have to find my way to pay it forward and that has risen has a belief that I must follow thru on.

we are now connected on FB. if you are ever in the bay area (san fran, san jose), drinks are on me !

i'll wait for the guide to let me thru to the other side.

regards
vikas

Hi Steve

Hope you are doing well.

Wanted to share a recent experience with you from a couple of days back; it seems relevant and wanted to hear your take on it.

A couple of days back, without any warning and without an apparent cause, all of a sudden I experienced an unfamiliar and a very intense feeling of love for everything and everyone in the world. The words joy or happiness fall short in describing the feeling because the emotion was more, much more than I have ever felt before. It was intense. It was all consuming. It didn’t leave room for any other feeling to be felt. The word bliss seems apt to describe to experience, not because I know what bliss is, but because it seems a more intense descriptor than joy, happiness. Anyhow, labels like bliss don’t matter. The experience does. Typically when I feel happy, it is “I” that feels happy because of something – like a good movie, good food, good company, good music, etc. it is always something outside making me happy inside. But this particular experience was different. It was as if happiness was inside of me, part of me, forever resident and finally exuding to express love for what was outside. The experience did not scare me, I was not afraid, rather there was comfort in the feeling. there was no sadness although I was crying for no reason. Tears were flowing unabated and they didn’t bother me. In the moment, everything felt natural and the thought that this is how it should be. I didn’t want the feeling to stop. I couldn’t think of a negative thought. Hard to describe but it felt as if my heart was melting or exploding. Or both. Every thought was positive, everything was beautiful. everyone was perfect; not perfect because of a reason, but perfect for no reason at all. Perfect because no other thought was possible.

I remember telling my wife that I loved her, and giving her a long hug. I remember messaging my mom and telling her that I love her, not something I have done for a while. I also wrote to an aunt that I love her. Seriously, something I am never ever prone to do. Ever. I wrote to a friend and told her that she had changed my life. My last thought before falling asleep was, “I hope I don’t lose this feeling”.

The next day, I remembered the experience but the intensity of the feeling was gone. I didn’t feel bad at having “lost the loving feeling”. I felt gratitude, thankful for the brief and amazing experience. I discovered something else about the experience – the perception of elapsed time. In my head, the whole experience had lasted about 5 to 10 minutes. However, tracing through messages to mom, aunt and friend revealed that the experience had last approx 2 hours or so. My wife confirmed the time/event flow. Apparently, I had hugged her multiple times, expressed my love for the world endless times, and many times assured her that I was fine, everything was fine.

Hi Vikas,

I had a similar-sounding experience while watching The Haunted perform at Wacken on 9 August 2016 - of all places. I was in a crowd of about 8000 people. I like this band a lot but I didn't expect a spiritual experience out of it. It felt like the music was impossibly good. It lasted between 1 and 2 hours and then faded. There was an intense feeling of love and I and everyone and everything were one.

That's all I know! You'll get more perspective on it if you post about it in LU Aftercare.
