I don't know what happened to me.
I want to talk about something strange that happened to me a few months ago. I never thought about it this way. But reading all your post now it makes more sense.
In that time i didn't know Bob or the tapes. I just found Thom Campbell's TOE and I remember that I spent the whole weekend reading and watching his interviews. I felt amazed about the theory that thru meditation you can get to another state of reality.
It was a Sunday really late when I went to bed. And this happened:
I had what I think it was a sleep paralysis. But totally different to any other that I ever had (I had a lot of them in the past) I felt that I had no control in my body, couldn't move a muscle in me. But I was shaking, A LOT! (like if I were electrocuted) No only that, but i could hear a sound that was no sound. Like there was a helicopter right above my room. It made no sound but I could hear the vibration. Really loud vibrations, and my body was shaking to that rhythm. I remember thinking to myself "This is it, they're here" Till this day I have no idea what that meant. Who "they" are or why "they were here". I remember waking up, the next day, totally traumatized, thinking that i might be Epileptic. Cause for me that was the only explanation possible.
Now, reading to you, I realize that it's a very common thing to happen. I have read that this kind of experience happened to Bob and also Thom. But still have no idea what that means. I didn't go to any other place, or have any "wow" experience, only trauma hahah.
What do you think it was?
