I was told that this, written by myself in January 1987, may be of interest.
.
We are a very strange lot of people. Our approach to religion has fasclnated
me.
What makes us tick?
The only way to look upon our present condition is to try and explore our
past experiences in a
detached manner.
The most difficult experience of this life must be during the birth process.
Indeed many so-called Mystic experiences do seem to have echoes of this
process of being born.
Religion seems to be based on the notion of REBIRTH, of RELIVING certain
feelings associated with birth.
We can see the birth of another being but cannot associate this with our
own.
Of course, this could be due to a bad birth-experience which we would prefer
to forget.
The nice times are more easily relived.
Our birth has to be relived if we are tc know WHAT IS REAL.
Thus I hope to describe a form of birth-experience which may be close to an
actuality.
The first thing that I was aware of was a joumey or rather the need for a
joumey.
Things were getting more than a little cramped where I was and I HAD to get
out.
Little by little I became aware of light coming into my world.
This light seemed to come from one particular spot, a possible gateway to
another world.
I found that I could not get through this doorway however. I tumed into many
shapes and still I could not fit.
Then I lay still, exhausted by my travail, pondering on this problem.
Slowly waves seemed to take hold of the walls of my room.
The light became brighter, became a bigger source, became even more
attractive to me.
After yet more rest I seemed to be propelled by a gigantic tidal wave and I
was projected into this light.
My head was now exposed to this blinding light but my body was trapped in
the other world.
If was as if I was being torn as under by the forces of light and dark.
The darkness was sucking me back and the light was beckoning me onwards.
In that moment I had a life and death struggle taking place around and
through me.
All future confrontations were as nothing when compared to this.
Every other experience could be related to this event.
Meditation will only uncover more realisation of this event.
I now feel liberated.
I had been born to stand upon my own feet.
My mother had served her role and now it was my turn to give birth.
The journey I had made at birth was small in distance but large for me.
One small step for Man and one giant leap for Mankind.
The journey was into sunlight.
It was not unlike driving through a tunnel.
Whenever I travel through a tunnel I seem to re-live my birth.
Brings another meaning to being awakened ..................
Love and Light to ALL beings,
Raymond
