Creation’s Elevator
“Who are you? … How have you joined creation?” – The Watcher Rock, ‘Dreams Awake’
The first time I truly experienced the elevator I had a little over ten years in. Meaning I had been meditating on the inner sound current that long. By this point I had had some pretty intriguing experiences, but nothing like ‘the elevator’. Now yes, I had been lucky enough to taste a bit of it. In meditation, when I finally got relaxed enough and out of the mind raps, I would feel like I was starting to go up in an elevator. And just as I would anticipate what was going to happen, the elevator would stop abruptly before it really got started, and there was no more going up. Basically because as I did the anticipation routine, that tension locked me up. So I did learn early on that tension was a buzz kill for meditation. Which was a bit of a catch-22. You needed to relax to get into meditation, but you needed to meditate to relax. It seemed there was a balance somewhere in there to find.
So, when that grand elevator day came, I wasn’t expecting it. Ha, see…no anticipation. It was one of those days that you could never forget. If I live to be a hundred and my great grandkids hop upon my knee, I would still be able to speak coherently about the first time I traveled up inside creation’s elevator. I have since had the experience numerous times, and even in more expansive, exciting ways. But you always remember the first time, so I was no longer a spiritual flyer virgin.
And no, this was not like my OOBE’s I had previously experienced. I was still sitting in my chair meditating, with my eyes closed and earplugs in. I was traveling up inside, but I didn’t actually project out of my body. I imagine I could have done that, but this way did seem more safe and secure.
Anyway, finally back to the actual experience. When it happened I was lifted up with so much force I thought I had blown a hole in the roof of my house. But no, I didn’t open my eyes to check. I wanted to remain cool, calm and collected to ride this force out as far as I could. I kept my mind out of the game and just relaxed more and more as I went up and up. My goodness, how high up was this going? No, no, I can’t think, or it will end. Stop it, do not … t-h-i-n-k. Silence and quiet for several seconds.
Wow, I was really feeling good. And better and better, and higher and higher. And lighter and lighter. And then it seemed like I saw something in the distance. Realize, up to this point I did not have any kind of spiritual sight running, so I had no idea what ‘floor’ I was on. Meaning, where in the hell (or heaven?) was I? I didn’t see a thing, until now …
Now understand this is still with my eyes closed. What I was seeing was up several levels inside. Everything became luminescent silver, but I couldn’t make out anything specific. There seemed to be some type of forms in the distance, but I couldn’t make them out. Then suddenly one of the forms moved towards me, and I got the distinct feeling that this form was some type of being. And that he/she was trying to communicate with me. At the moment I realized that I must have tightened up, and so I could no longer hold my position in that realm.
So, guess that? That elevator went down fast. And before I knew it my consciousness was totally back in my chair sitting there. What an abrupt change! And what an experience. And even though I was down, I was still high and up from all that. And looking forward to when I could do that again!
I was basking in this for several days, when I felt a subtle comprehension of the experience come to the surface. It felt as if there was a way to be a partner or participator, or worker, or something like that, in the march of creation’s evolving mission. No, I certainly didn’t feel as if I had gotten to that place, only that I had been introduced to that concept. At that time I had no idea what that meant, but maybe that I might in the following years …
