For the last six months, I've been practicing my meditation, and I achieved something yesterday that I never have before: a complete mental silence. I didn't think of a single thing. Then, something odd happened: I wasn't in my meditation area anymore.
I found myself in the midst of a great battle on a field of azure blue. The sky was lit by streaks of violet, crimson, and gold. I stood between two great armies, at war due to a gross misunderstanding. As I stood facing the sunset, the army at my right hand looked, at first glance, to be very technologically evolved, while at my left hand, the army there stood approximately at our technological level. The misunderstanding arose over the incursion of the technologically advanced society into the modern society's territory. The Moderns (as I'll call them), felt threatened and attacked the Technos. The Moderns were a hodgepodge of three races: the first race was short, no more than two and a half feet tall, with copious amount of hair covering their body; the second race was slightly taller, around 4 feet tall or so, with reptilian features; the third race was similar to humans, with the exception of two large tusks protruding from their mouths. The Technos were indistinguishable due to their armor.
As I stood there, feeling the tension radiating off the combatants, I suddenly understood the need for peace. I turned, looked at the hominid creature, and spoke to them: "Peace, my brothers. Your ancestors smile on you this day for protecting your families and your land. There is no need to fight any longer." I turned to the reptilian species and spoke: "Brothers, the Sun smiles on you, for you have been brave and honest. Return to your brood and celebrate your life." I turned again and spoke to the hirsute species: "My brothers, you have fought well and hard for your freedom. Go forth and make your homes in the forests of this world, for peace will forever reign in your hearts so long as you remember this day." As one, the Moderns turned and walked away, much to my surprise, because I heard myself speak in English, but as I turned to the Technos, the leader had removed his helmet and surprisingly, the soldier was fully human! This man had the strangest look on his face. He spoke with a heavily accented English, a dialect I am not familiar with and asked: "How can you, a human, speak their language? We have been trying to contact them for peace for over a year now, with no success."
I had no answer for him, but walked over, placed my hands on either side of his head, and looked deep into his eyes and said: "Peace be unto you, my brother. let peace reign in your hearts and in your homes. Go back to your homes and remember this day. Assist these people with their development. They have great spirit and agile minds. They will make wise allies. Go. Tell your leaders that this world is protected and no harm was meant. Tell them to beware the Wise Ones, for we are stewards of all life, guardians of the unfortunate, and protectors of the weak. Of these, you yourselves are included. I then turned ans walked away, towards the mountains that rose against the horizon.
As I "returned" to my meditation area, I felt a profound sense of peace, a sense of excitement, and of wonder. I felt good, for the first time in years.
I don't know if anyone has ever had a similar experience, or if it was a product of my imagination, but I'd like to know if anyone has ever had something similar (in practice, not in form) happen to them.
