Enjoy!)
I used to be a sceptic about things related to spirituality, but it was only when I felt extensively, that this reality might be a dream, and not the other way around necessarily... It was then when I came to consider, the possible fact, that there are several metaphysical realities, and not just one exclusively.
It was a very strange moment, I thought it was a side-effect of a new pill I took, but it can't be, can it? I took it this morning, while the strange experience, happened at evening, without something special interfering throughout the day.
My eyes... felt so far away, as if I was locked in a prison and saw the world through mere bars created by my rationality. Never in my life, have I felt so alienated, so desolated, from this world. I knew I wasn't dreaming, and yet the world felt like it was a mere dream. I even slapped my knee to see if I still feel stuff like pain, and yes I did.
I feel something, coming from the forehead. When I touch it, I feel nothing in particular, but mentally, I feel as if there is a small egg beneath the skin. Could it be... the so-called Third Eye?
This strange event occurred after I bid my farewell to a family member on the computer. Then, I was for some reason, filled with great desolation. Everything, although real, felt so fake, so worthless; so.. illusory.
It is told that through the adaptation and the obedience to our intuition, is when the "third eye" only goes and grows. It is.. a portal, to a potential new reality, existing above this one.
Even now, even this screen and the feeling of my fingers clicking on the keyboard... it all feels but nothing more than an illusion, created by a being far supreme than myself. I even... shared some properties I use to have in dreams, with this world, as if they were one and the same. I made something on the screen, to be this insignificant to me, it basically left with my "power", unless it was nothing more than mere daydreaming.
During this unwelcomed moment, I felt that the "self", the one observing reality, was, allegedly, experiencing reality from the forehead, and not from within the eyes.
All my life, I used to dream about dreams, knowing they are dreams. Then, I viewed the world as if it was a dream in my mind, with no clue as to what's going on, in my "current" place.
Since that strange perceptive event, there were "vibrations" of me being "pulled back" to seeing this world as but a dream, I dream at night. At random, as far as I can tell by now. Whenever I see my current videogame on TV, it feels like I'm controlling the game, more with my mind, and far less, with my hands via a controller.
Now, since I might be more intuitive, I believe I can better pursue my dream as a philosopher: to contribute, my own way.
I don't know if such a tedious moment will happen again, but I never even felt before the possibility of my eyes being so far ahead of me, even though they are right in my face.
Apologies for the shorter article this time. I guess I have nothing left to say for now, other than telling you, that I feel a strange gathering on my forehead -- and it's flat. Could it be... the portal to a higher plane of existence? One, truly, beyond the Earthly?
Perhaps, if I'm to be even more intuitive than rational, then this obscure phenomena could be better understood. For the time being, I see no reason to not meddle with it any further, when it could bring my legacy, such good potential.
It is hard to explain additional planes of existence laying across the galaxy. and beyond. However, all I can say to my defence, is that I saw my life as a dream, while I was awake; as if the "ego", the self, exists somewhere completely different, beyond our comprehension; beyond the limitation of this plane, assuming there are more, of course.
