Woke up in another layer?

This experience starts, ends and feels different from a dream, I think I woke up in another layer of nonphysical bodies and was in a different reality. My deceased father was there. He is often with me or around me in an OBE experience. I took a train (for me, it's the embodiment of an energy flow that takes me along) to go somewhere. I became aware of the nonphysical body and was able to fly a bit and explored a bit.

I woke up in the early morning and found that my bed has turned into a twin size bed, not the queen size bed I have. I sat up and looked around, feeling very strange and eerie. My cat was next to me. My bedroom door that's usually almost closed was now open. I got out of my room feeling alarmed. I looked over to the bathroom side. A room appeared in the location where the mirror is. It is now a bedroom, and my deceased father was in it. I told my father my apprehension. He didn't really say anything.

I went back to sleep but heard that there were knocking on the doors of the neighbors, one door at a time. I wondered who and thought to myself "Poor thing, this person must be scared to be out there that early knocking on doors."

Then I went to a train station to take a train. Since it's still early, I walked around a bit and returned to the station to catch the train. My ticket says the boarding time. I looked at the display board. I only had 2 minutes to get down all the way to B5, which I understood as 5 story down. As I ran down toward the platform, I thought that I didn';t bring a book to read on the upcoming long ride.

Then I walked around and explored a neighborhood, I sensed a guy watching me. He is a scam but people are not alert. I sensed that he did something to people's car. I walked through this narrow pathway with three other women to avoid him.

I continued to walk. There was no one around at this part and it was still early and dark. All of a sudden, the familiar feeling of energy boost came over me and I remembered that I could fly. I was excited every time this realization came over me. I jumped up into the air and soared higher and higher with a lot of energy. I flew around overlooking all the buildings and neighborhoods. Then I started to lose height. I came down and saw a woman and a man went toward a hotel. They were like mother and son. They had a good walk and were contented to go back to the hotel.

Then my awareness came back to my bed. Someone told me that a yellowbook was next to my building outside and that probably is why I was woken up. I said no, that was not it.

Now is Forever

Whatever we do, it can only be temporary. We cannot do something forever.

Go deep inside of ourselves and stay there. It will become apparent to us that "this" is already perfect. We do not need to do anything at all.

"To be away from here" tires us out. "To be away from here" tenses us up. Do nothing. Relax. So that we can go on forever.

Get there now, whatever you want to be. Do not wait until later,for the next moment will be the same as this moment. When we ignore here and now and look to the next moment, our "being" is broken. Our well being is broken. We are whole only when we are fully here and now. This is true at this moment. This is true forever.

I feel this. I see this. I am this. I know this. Now and forever. Now is forever.

I am, I notice, I know, every moement, every day

Use all senses, not just the thinking mind, and focus on everything around

This has baffled me for a while. During the weekend,I can get to this place of zero and peace. But before going back to the challenging week, I found myself dreading return to it. Why? I thought I am spiritual enough to face anything. Why the dread and reluctance?

Then it dawn on me that I am not seeing the whole picture. During the week, I only focus on a few things that I have to do. I miss many other things in the background. I am not seeing the whole truth. There are probably only a few items I am paying attention to or maybe I am so busy with looking to the future event or past events, while I ignore ten other things happening right now around me.

Yes, there is always fear for any potential accidents, conflicts, people trying to undermine me, changes in dynamics.....But,do you see that this is not the only thing that's is. What happens to the worldly excitement and joy of becoming the boss of the place, driving in to work wth my own parking space, the warm and fuzzy feelings of spirituality, the endless possibility of time that I am in control, the old habit of going to the mall after work to walk around seeing things like a child in the wonderland, the amazement of how my story touched people online.....

When things get into a habitual routine mode, we start to lose our attention about it. We start to focus on whatever we choose to focus on, and lose the sense of the whole picture. Very quickly, we start to only focus on fearful things or regretful things that our mind chooses for us. We start to lose the joy and awe.


When looking up to a big slope coming up, I think to myself "What a big slope," but when walking on it step by step and getting into the curve, I think to myself again "What slope?"

When we go into any situation with total attention to the second and the minute, it really gets broken down to bits and pieces of wonder and truth.

What if we use all of our senses about the whole thing every single time, to know the whole truth, to notice everything, to explore whatever is happening....
