Progress takes place when the mind is silent; entirely dead, in fact. That is when one realizes the truth.
This story and all other stories and experiences are just a sideshow. Everything is just a giant distraction from the truth of reality and the self. None of it exists, that is why they call everything an illusion.
Did you actually read the OP? Because he actually spoke about the importance of silencing the mind.
Also, ego is easy to define. There is only love, as in Universal Love for everything and everyone, or there is fear which generates symptoms like judgement, greed, anger, hate, superiority, inferiority etc. The former is the non-ego state, the latter is the ego state.

I have always thought that it would be funny if these "higher dimensional beings" were just pulling pranks for the lulz. Like, whatever dimension of existence they reside in, they are the higher spiritual equivalent of teenagers and this is how they get their kicks.
I mean, couldn't you see us doing something like this? Messing with lesser evolved beings just for the fun of it?
I know I certainly would.

Also, the finger movements you describe are common with mental illness.

What I do not respect are those who insinuate the OP should not be posting such threads.
This is ATS. This is exactly the place where such topics should be posted.

2) The time of Books is OVER. This includes the Bible, Koran, Torah, and all others. They don't matter anymore. All that matters is connecting yourself to God and this planet Earth.

Since when have cartoon drawings been proof for anything?
A video recording of your mom doing the signs might be more believable
I agree with this. OP, can you video record your mother while she is meditating, showing her doing her hand signs?
Of course he won't, because he can't. It's hogwash.

So what your telling me is if we didn't grow up religious and believed in God, we are screwed?
No that would actually make you worse off... I'm not religious either, but I found god almost exactly how the OP describes his mom finding it.. I was bathed in Love to. I wasn't spoken to though. My body greeted this energy "Hi God" This was not me saying it, or it was but I was not controlling it.. I was an atheist...
I made gestures I don't know all of them. My spine had to "click" into place.. and then that's when the golden light poured in. My arms were held up like I was hugging a HUGE tree or something.. And then when I thought it was 5 minutes of this heaven I "snapped free" It had been 1.5 hours based on the clock.. I also then noticed that even though I was seeing my whole room my eyes were closed.
Ever since then I have been on a path, and a lot of times off the path.. Why me... ? I struggled with this and punished myself because why me?? Why me? I'm nobody.. I'm not even good.. (I had been kicked out of school).. How come I get to experience this?? I don't know, but god connected with me for some reason.. Maybe my inability to connect with this world and care enough is because I am connected elsewhere? I don't know..
A few months later I got my first ever and only ever "visitation" I was told "You WILL be enlightened!"
A great sadness falls over me everyday I wake up and I am not bathed in that golden light.. I want to go back so bad...edit on 12/5/2012 by Dustytoad because: (no reason given)
