Hello,
I wanna share some experiences I had when I was trying to find some love of God, I was in the Hare Krishna movement since the summer of 2006 and one day, when we were out in the streets, it was a Ratha Yatra, we were singing the names of God, Krishna, and we were with a 100 devotees out in the streets of Rotterdam, and we were singing the names of Krishna, and it was a parade with the Deities of Lord Jaganath, Subradha and Baladev, and we were in the city centre, and suddenly, as I was singing the names of Krishna, I was experiencing a wave of love, I was feeling like every man and woman was my brother and sister and i was feeling like I had found universal love, it lasted a 10 seconds or so, but i still cherish this experience.
It was in the summer of 2008.
But before that, in the months of October, November and December 2007, I had a terrible time, I locked myself up in the room of my house, my brother was still living in the living room downstairs and I was living in the room upstairs, and I was fried by the voices in my mind, I had to undergo severe punishment from the things i had done in previous lives, I think, and one day, on December 24th 2007 I was taking a shower and I heard the voices in my mind saying:
¨If you chant 32 rounds you will attain the love of God¨
But it was not very clear if I had to chant 32 or 64 rounds of Hare Krishna.
I somewhat went along with it, because I learned in Radhadesh that the highest obtainable was Madurya Rasa, that was the sweetest experience of Love of God, so I went along with it, I didn´t understand the whole package, but it is the love that Radha has for Krishna, so a bit femine, but I didn´t care, it was the highest form of love of God.
So I went to sit down on my meditation bolster which I still have now and I chanted, out loud and was very firm in my dedication to chant the necessary rounds, whether it be 32 or 64 rounds and it was going ok, but then.........I started to smoke cigarettes again a few weeks before, not much, just a cigarette every few days, very little, and one way or another, in the 14th round on December 24th 2007, I got suddenly a irresistable craving of going to smoke a cigarette, it was suddenly and an overwhelming desire, the desire was that strong that I stopped my chanting and went to my brother´s department downstairs to get a sigarette and smoked that cigarette, it was a very strong desire and I couldn´t resist it and I knew that I would fail the quest of getting love of God.
But in didn´t mind, I took my loss and i was thinking:
¨Fuck it, I will not be the father of Diane (which I thought i would the father of her)
So this was my first encounter with getting love of God, a complete failure, and it was desitined to be.
Not long after that, in 2012, I was having some real interactions with Weris, a village not far from Radhadesh and I even collected some stones I found there which I had in my house and placed them as dolmen and megalithic stones in my house,and one day, in my search for love of God, I placed ,my hands on these stones and asked the stones if they would guide me and they did! As I was placing my hands on the stones I got this realisation:
¨I was getting the vision of me going to a girly caste and I was symoblised by Hell Boy, the movie character, I was standing in front of the girly caste and I was breaking through the fences of that caste and I was getting acces to that, I was in the castle and I was a winner!¨
So this brought me to the desire to go to Weris in the summer of 2012, so I went there, with just a yoga mat to sleep on on the floor of the forest and nothing else, I went to the forest and choose a place where I could sleep and meditate, and I did, and it was a very rough night, there was thunder and lightning and there was rain, so i kept my clothes in a bag and put it underneath a stone. I was just sleeping in my boxershorts. When the rain and storm faded away in the next morning I went to the meditation stone in the forest and i decided to do some uyyaya pranayama and moolha banda and after I did that for half an hour, I finished my mystic meditation and walked back to the stone where I was sleeping and where ,my stuff was and while i was walking, I had the urge to feel my breasts, and I am a guy, but i felt an ecstatic feeling on my breasts, it felt like i was a woman, it was so ecstatic, you wouldn´t believe it, so because of this Hare Krishna experience I had in 2007, and the realisation of the girly castel, I thought that it was all good, and don´t get me wrong, I am not gay or so, but having the feeling of these breasts, I was still under the impression that I was doing well.
Anyway, I was ok with all of this and i walked to my camping spot in the forest and went to sleep, it was raining again and again there was thunder and lightning, but I persevered to stay there.
When I woke up the next day, I had a dream that i would be going back to Rotterdam and i couldn´t believe this dream since I had these cool realisations, so i wrote down my dream and went to the medtitation stone in the forest and as soon as I sat down on the stone, I heard a voice in my head, saying: ¨Om Narayan Namaha, Om Narayan Namaha¨ and I didn´t understood all of this, but I had good memories of the day before when I was doing this mystic pranayama (breathing exercises) and went on doing them, but after a few seconds i got thje feeling that I was doing it wrong, I had the feeling that I had to chant this mantra instead and skip the pranayama, suddenly I felt lost and forgotten and everything came to an end, I suddenly had the feeling that i failed everything and I had the desire to go home, back to Rotterdam.
So I did.
Mission failed.
But not too long after that, when I was in Rotterdam, I had the desire to go to Weris again to try to realise the girly caste and I did, I went back and i put my stuff again at the stone where i was previously sleeping and did my meditation on the meditation stone and nothing happened, so I was thinking that it would take a while, and the next day, when I took a shower, and that was washing myself with a bottle of water in the forest, I suddenly saw that there was a tick on my penis, I freaked out because i had to go back to Rotterdam to the doctor to get this tick out of my penis, so the mission failed again. And I aborted my mission and went back to Rotterdam, all my hopes were destroyed.
I am still trying to find love of God, but it is so freakin difficult, it is so difficult!
Cheers.
