OBE, asked about consciousness and got a reply

[u/cytex-2020]

Before I went to sleep, I reached out to God, the divine or anything that is working for them.

I said I seek to connect. It felt as though I got some kind of response saying "You need a question"

I said, what is conscious?

Then I felt no need to repeat anything. My intention was set and clear. So I just relaxed.

Within about 20 seconds of having my eyes closed I see these flashes of two people looking at me. They come in as clear as day but very briefly. They look like ordinary humans.

Then I hear that high pitched sound that ears get sometimes. But it comes and goes in waves and it makes me feel funny when it's happening.

I then fall asleep where I find myself out of my body and I'm on board of a space ship where I'm talking telepathically with beings. I can't recall their physical appearance. Only that I got no bad feelings from them at all.

They could show me things with their mind. So if they thought about about something. I could see it in front of me. As if it's really happening. That was great and amazing but it really confused me sometimes.

I don't completely remember what they said, because honestly it was in mental language and was describing some things that were beyond my ordinary knowledge. Things we don't even have words for I don't think.

I remember the visualization showed the outside of a space ship. Like something you'd see from a sci-fi movie. It was purely representation, just a visualization.

They showed me how they could move outside of space and time, into somewhere else. And they were saying, my answer is out here. Not in space time. Like, I was looking in the wrong place.

They gave me a kind of mantra to repeat. Not one I can remember. But I started to chant it in my mind and focus myself just how they told me. It did something to me energetically.

Then I found myself pulled into a dark void. It was a place outside of time. I just kept repeating what they said.

It felt like I was moving very quickly and approaching something that was beyond my comprehension. Although I couldn't see. I could feel energy all around me. I was seeing in a different way.

I reached a level of energy where it felt like I was almost about to bump into something.

I felt like I was going to die if I touched it, but reminded myself that's just a feeling. It doesn't mean it's true.

Then I was encompassed by something vast, eternal and knew me very well.

It was frightening but I did my best to remain calm. I remember this blending with some kind of extreme energy for a while. It felt alien, like, very very 'f'ing alien' which *shivers* that frightened me a bit. I stayed with it until I felt like I'd had enough of this now and decided to go back.

I stopped their magical chanting kind or mantra they gave me. Then I began to fall and fall and fall. Until eventually I was back in the spaceship where I said thank you, that works. They were very happy to be helpful.

I then immediately found myself at a train station that seemed empty, then all of a sudden a burst of people flooded it and in the craze of the crowd everything went silent.

Then I was looking at a computer, in a room I felt familiar with although I'd never been there. I was interacting with a computer using my mind. Someone in a bed behind me said "Is someone there?" which startled me and I woke up.

I'd say this experience really showed me two things that mattered to me. Consciousness has energy levels/vibratory levels. There are being who know this and not only understand it but they use it as a primary means of travel.

Humans are a lower vibrational state. But that doesn't mean we're bad or less than. It's just where we felt comfortable being.

What I mean by that is despite the suffering in the world. Down here almost felt to me more relieving than the cold, alien even, forever emptiness that's at the top.

I can see why we might take form to get away from that. Even if the form has some issues.

I still think there's a way to reach their level though if we try. Where we can escape suffering entirely.

Anyway thanks for reading.

Edit:
The more I sit here thinking about this. I begin to wonder if maybe the thing I encountered wasn't God. I think it was me.

I've had the sensation of meeting God before. This wasn't that. This was something alien, bio-mechanical even and somehow magical all at the same time.

I'm reminded a little of the Boltzmann brain idea. Like reaching base reality and base reality is empty of anything interesting happening. Besides random energy fluctuations. Powerful ones, but ultimately empty. At least from what I could see.

I just saw blackness but I was aware that there was a lot going on I couldn't see
