Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[atlantis]

This is a little off-subject. It's indirectly related to Elvis. I had an experience on the night of August 27th, 1997. It was, what I consider to be, my spiritual awakening. This event turned my life upside down, inside out. It destroyed my very basic foundation (but these are all blessed things). It blew the old, false me up and now I'm re-assembling my True Self bit by bit. I'll try and make this as short and precise as possible. I'm writing this to see if anyone out there is familiar with what happened to me. If not, that's cool. At least I know I can ask you guys.

I had a crappy childhood. I'll spare the details except to say my father was never meant to have children. My mother was a basket-case but we are close now. I'm sure you get the picture. But I must add this: when I was a little girl, 6 years old, I would play in my room alone. I loved to be alone. And not long ago, I accessed that long lost memory of the friends I had in my room with me. They were literally beings of light. They were a brilliant, sparlking blue. They would play with me. We would talk. I felt an enormous surge of love from them. They were like my loving guides. They were my people from far away from here. They told me my life wouldn't be the greatest for a while. That I would through a lot of pain so I could grow and evolve. But they did promise that it would be worth it because someone would come along to make up for all the pain. Enter my husband in 1991

On August 27, 1997. I was sitting on the couch talking to my husband when out of the blue, I could see in my mind's eye a great column of gleaming white light shoot up through my spine and shoot out the top of my head. I felt the mental and emotional shackles and chains that I had been prisoner of literally melt away. And the next split second, I was hight above my physical body, way up in space. I had a 360 degree view all around. At that moment, I knew what it meant to be one with the universe. For that second, I understood everything. There were no more mysteries. I had the answers. But this was over almost as quick as it came on. I still have flashes of this from time to time.

I've read that what happened to me may be a kundalini awakening, a spontaneous one. The only thing I can think of is that about a week before it happened, I broke down and cried to God that I couldn't handle the pain of my life anymore. Something had to change. I believe, through divine intervention, it did.

I'm almost through here. I just want add that this event completely altered my then-current life path forever. I can never go back to the person I was. So many doors and windows flung open at that moment. It's been painful and confusing and frustrating, the evolution process has been. But all the new information I'm privy to and to understand the meaning of life maybe on a deeper level that I had imagined before is, well, incredibly hard to put into words.

This event led me to my search for the true Elvis. By learning more about him, I believe I can learn a lot from him. Thanks for listening.

Thank you so much Atlantis, for sharing this with us. Much of what you say is very familar to me.

At that moment, I knew what it meant to be one with the universe. For that second, I understood everything. There were no more mysteries. I had the answers. But this was over almost as quick as it came on.

You describe perfectly the same kind of experience I had once, about 30 years ago,while laying in bed at my husband side, at the brink of falling aslept. I had some other experiences of Light along my life, but this one is just like you explain above. From the perspective of time, now I know that we need this kind of impacts to help us to evolve. I trully believe that we are being taken care of.

Atlantis, what you described was a very dramatic kind of spiritual awakening.
But you tapped COSMIC CONSCOIUSNESS for some split seconds!!! What a blessing! That state of consciousness is what all mankind is seeking and heading to (consciously some of it and unconsciously most of it). It is the ultimate goal of our existence. After countless incarnations we'll find our re-union with God.
In my own life I had some awakenings of a less drastic kind, a step by step procedure. It is different with each soul, we are all unique in our journey to God. Thank you for sharing your experience!

(I have read about many people who had experiences somehow like you had)

How beautiful that we here on the Forum have "met" Elvis somehow along the way and can relate to each other because of our common FRIEND

Sweet Aloha Atlantis

Thank you sweet Atlantis for your touching story .... and have to say everything sounds very familiar for me tooo like the others...

At that moment, I knew what it meant to be one with the universe. For that second, I understood everything. There were no more mysteries. I had the answers.

I had that on the 18th September 2004, not 2003 as I told in my first writing here I´m getting older I guess
and Christine is right about the fact: It is different with each soul, we are all unique in our journey to God.

I was hight above my physical body, way up in space. I had a 360 degree view all around.
