DMT like experience through Meditation
Good evening. I accidentally got involved in the spiritual world by practicing Kundalini Yoga. After three years, I received my Yoga Instructor certificate. During our final sessions, our instructor mentioned that our chakras would be aligned after class. I had originally gotten into yoga just for the gentle exercise and relaxation; I was never really into the whole chakras and energy aspect.
However, that class changed my life. It was a 45-minute eyes-closed session guided by the instructor. By the end of the class, more than half the room was empty because we had been advised to leave quietly if we felt the need. I even felt that urge at one point, but I managed to finish the entire class.
Afterward, it felt like the entire world was suddenly in 8K—as if I had been living with a veil over my eyes. I stopped drinking, and a few months later, I managed to quit smoking. I started feeling this strange energy and developed a strong intuition for things before they happened. This changed my overall behavior and made me want to understand why, so I dove into Taoism, Buddhism, and Wicca. Somehow, these experiences grew and helped improve my health and purpose in life; it was wonderful.
Later, I went on a 3-day Catholic meditation retreat—no talking, no cell phones, and no interaction with other attendees. There, I reached levels of meditation I had never experienced before. On the third day, during the last group session, I entered a deep meditative state. I suddenly found myself feeling alone in the room, and I saw the roof open up. A entity I cannot fully describe appeared in front of me—it looked somewhat like a light orb with fractals, but also nothing like it. At that moment, I felt so free and thought, "Is this Jesus? Is this what Christians follow?" Right then, I felt ready to leave everything behind to follow Christianity.
The presence in front of me communicated through a direct concept—an idea I completely understood and accepted instantly, though it took me a moment to put into human words. The message was: "If you are seeing me, it is because you are on the right path." To this day, that message remains as clear as day, and I know it was not my own thought—it was a direct exchange of information from that being to me.
Later in life, I watched a video of a DMT user describing the exact same thing I saw, which brought me here. I’ve read the "Traces of the Other" study and found it very interesting. I also read "The Syntergic Theory" and was intrigued by how Kabbalah, Taoism, Buddhism, and Shamanism all explain an interconnected reality.
I guess I’m here to share my story and see if anyone else has experienced similar visions or states through deep meditation.
