energy high?

[Prince_RIP]

I've been going through a pretty huge transitional phase in my life recently. I would call it at the very least taking great strides on my journey to enlightenment(not necessarily the buddhist form of enlightenment, though buddhism is one of my favorite religions). Anyways, I had this thing where I felt FUCKED UP(in a good way...more of a sense of euphoria...I kept a clear head) for 4 days and I couldn't eat or sleep the entire time. I was having unbelievable epiphanies this entire time. My entire outlook on life and reality totally changed during this time. I thought at the time it was me waking up, or at the very least being enlightened. This led to me having a mental breakdown which I don't really want to get into the details of. Anyways, after I got back to reality I felt pretty normal again. No 'high' feeling. Well i've been contemplating on and off since i've been home. I just went out to eat and ever since this high feeling has returned. Everything looks how things look when i'm high. Colors are brighter etc. There's also a euphoria, where everything is better. Food's better, music's better, etc. I stay clear headed, though. In fact I think that I think better than normal(at least about deep concepts)during this high. I know this is significant to my spiritual journey, as it is when I uncover and internalize a truth that it happens. I plan on meditating and seeing how it effects this high. My guess is that it will intensify it. But yea I was just wondering if any of you could relate or at the very least know what's going on.

It seems like there are similar reports like that with people that reach certain areas of spiritual awareness. Whats coming to mind is Mikao Usui who developed the Japanese system of energy healing, known as Reiki. It is said that he went off on a journey to this mountain and fasted ect, and after a few days he got these visions of the Reiki symbols that are still used today. Right now I'm doing the Everyman sleep cycle and adjusting to it (for me personally) gives me different perceptions of things. Colors, things seem more vivid, and I have more clarity with myself. I'm not experiencing euphoria or anything, but yeah it sounds like things have definitely shifted in you somehow.

Good to know that other spiritually inclined people have similar experiences. I'm just theorizing, as this is all pretty new to me, but it seems that this 'high' is most intense when my mind is clear and I am simply happy. Also, just to further clarify what's been happening, basically i'm ultra sensitive. It's all about letting things effect you and not blocking the effects with your mind. For instance, say it takes most people 2 full glasses of a caffeine-filled soda/pop in order to get an energy buzz. Well I tell myself that one sip of it and I will be feeling more awake and energetic. Sure enough, it works. This means that I need a lot less in life, as a little can go along way once you reach this level of understanding and if you let it. As I said, when this feeling was the most intense I went off the deep end and ended up in a mental crisis unit for a week. This is because I was basically at a point where I thought that I could do ANYTHING and then undo it with my mind if it yielded unfavorable results. Basically I completely lost touch with reality. I think that I can keep this high if I keep my level of understanding, and now I understand that I MUST stay in reality if I don't want to be seen as crazy by society. Sure enough, meditation helps intensify this effect. I honestly feel super high after a good meditation session. Like I said, with a clear head. Also i've decided to do more investigating in buddhism and WOW are the teachings speaking to me now. I have an unbelievable appreciation for what i've been reading so far, much more than I was able to achieve in the past.

Hello. Do not fear from society and do not try to maintain that wich society is maintaining, wich is the mundane and the untrue, or the dealing with the unimportant, unfortunately. But but naturally. I agree that you should not get yourself overwhelmed and delusional about certain things. Instead, maintain your honesty and fallow it. but do not reject it out of fear, do not limit yourself out of fear. Investigate what that fear is honestly, and deal with it. While lucid, you may try focusing on the present moment: the field in wich every thing happens. Instead of relating to what is inside the field: your body, your mind identifying with the thoughts of you, or other things within the field -- try to not identify with that. Also, do not try to block that wich is happening within the field, or your mind, as it is the same as identification, as limitation. Instead be aware of the field in wich every thing happens, as awareness, as the field. Remaining as that, you will allow yourself the opportunity to see things more clearly and possibly attaining a state of expansion and realization -- all of this wich is not very easy to attain and to receive in and of itself. But it is a great way to fallow -- such as meditation. Only that within the lucid dream state things are much more fluid. Farewell
