Hello, in a desire to increase my energy I am writing here today to tell you guys a little bit more about Samadhi.
I believe it or not I was Saint Paul in a past life. You do not have to believe me but hear me out and I will clarify some things for you.
Growing up I always had this memory of feeling truly alive, awake, conscious. I always wanted to feel that way again but was never able to. I was trying so many different things to bring that state back. I tried Psychokinesis, drugs, physical exercise and even looked into the topic of berserkers and the athletes term, "The Zone".
None of these things were able to bring me back to that state and so I was very depressed. It was a horrible feeling and I used to cry alot because of it. I remember sitting on my roof watching the sun rise as a young boy hoping that it would "do something". It never did, but I felt the need to do it anyways. Anything like that I enjoyed doing, watching the stars and taking in the grandeur of the world.
As a young boy I even decided I would rather have the state I remembered over Super Powers, which is a big deal. What kid doesn't want to be a superhero?
Then I met my Guru, Michael Weir and over time he explained to me what I was missing. It was the state of Enlightenment. You see you can gain the state of Enlightenment but still have karma which will keep you tied to the world. To go beyond that is to be "Liberated" and was the next step I had to take. I wasn't able to though and died knowing I didn't make it.
"I die daily" is an interesting quote. Scholars have many different ideas about what it all means but they are for the most part wrong. It was simply talking about going into the state of Enlightenment daily. You see in that state the mind shuts down and the body goes into a state of suspended animation. This is what "I" meant by saying I died daily.
I am not sure how many of you there are out there like me but I know it is only a few. It is said that of the millions who seek God only one will truly reach Him.
If you think you have an experience similar to mine feel free to share it with me. I know how to get back to it.

Well as for me, I'm pretty sure I was me in my past life. Just different body, maybe voice, maybe even personality, among other things that might be common/different. I think I was <*insert past life's name here*> and let me tell you, it was Awesome/crappy (whichever it happened to be). So anyways, I guess I decided to come back for a sequel! Hopefully it will be a good sequel!
Have fun!

I don't think I know much about my past lives. This longing for something extraordinary from a long time ago has been there, though.
Used to watch sunset, gaze at the sky, trees with the same purpose, hoping it would somehow help me get closer to what I've been longing for. Life was too dull and seemed rather pointless. Though, from a pretty early age, I decided that in this life I wouldn't drink alcohol, nor experiment with drugs.
Found that while discussing the weird stuff with other people, sometimes I felt closer to this experience. Practising the weird stuff seemed like it might help even further. So we sat there with friends, trying to feel the energy and attempting to meditate .. without anything really happening. Wanted to experience this something extraordinary while sharing it with as many friends as possible. For some reason, their feet did not bend like mine did (lotus pose).
There was a really inspiring period of life, when I stayed in an old barn house with the youngest uncle and aunt. Before I could read, they told stories of Milarepa and different paths of enlightenment. Uncle practised martial arts on his own, meditated, visited his friends out of body, etc. Wanted to join the practice, but nothing came out of it .. I guess after beating a couple of robbers, he stopped practising one day. He became Christian.
I guess I got to seeing entities and feeling energy at some point. Then wanted to share it with others, but father disapproved it. Disappointed, I started crying. For the following years, I used a psychological approach to open them up a bit more to the weird stuff.Well, now they seem to have outgrown me, continuously inspiring me with their openness =D. The number of friends interested in the weird has also grown exponentially, recently.
Sad that I couldn't meet the yogi from India (I guess), who supposedly visited us one summer. Parents had planned it so that they had sent us away to the summerhouse by then. Might have been a really wild experience.
Back then I occasionally also wished that I would meet father's alien friends (he's an abductee). Can't recall having met them. I guess at first I was afraid of actually meeting them anyway. Overcame the fear later, but still haven't seen them.
There have been rather interesting moments, feeling close to the extraordinary experience. One day when we (me, sister) were outside at the summerhouse (a few years old) and it started hailing, I guess the tiny pieces of ice on the red car paint and the yellowish lighting of a sunset through cloudcover triggered a familiar feeling. Suddenly remembered something from the time I was in mother's womb.
That's a lot of text. Anyway, although I've tried to avoid peeking at the future, I know we'll get to constant Samadhi. Now that I think about it, time or lifetimes don't even matter here, because it's worth more than any.

wow St Peter? thats intersting...as for my past lives I am not sure but for the past few months I sort of convinced myself I am a pleiadian. If you do not know who they are they are aliens. They are another race of intergalactic humans. They come from a bunch of stars called pleiades or something like that. They are mainly a highly spiritually developed race that wants to help human beings on this planets spiritually develop using their way - the way of love and spiritual light. They help many other races similar to us.
well not really sure how I know it but it just kind of is. I mean I just kind of feel it. I am only 16 now...but when I was little much younger I wasnt very counsious. However I know I was always friendly and not very friendly (kind of like the weak sort of boy...) anyways about a year ago I think, when I started meditatiing I tried to look for my soul/higher self and I got this visions of me or well this pleiadians being living this experineces on this other planets. I can recognise from those experineces that was me in some of my past lives and I was in a much more spiritually developed reality/dimension/planet/whatever. Everything is so peaceful and the landscapes...mind blowing! Anyways I didn't pay much attention to them. But it was only a few months ago when I came over the Pleiadians on youtube. I found this really cool video :
It was night..I dont remember what I was doing anyways I know was quite boored so I just started watching. I think it was because of the really cool space images and the splendid music. I always liked studying looking into space or thinking about it. I love strechting my brain and imagination thinking of how many planets are there and all the space that is there in space...its streches your imagination like nothing else...I always liked doing this..guess I have always been attracted to the stars...Anyways I watched this video and I got really attracted to this Pleiadians thing. There is a lot of info about them on the internet. You may not be so familiar with it but its just enough to type in google pleiadians you get a lot about them. Anyways that is pretty much it. Thats the reasons why I think I am a pleiadian.
Also it fits my personality. I like pure beings and stuff. I rememeber when I was little and I still played video games. I always liked adventure games where you would have to chose between playing as a evil or a good character. I have always chosen the good side :D always, without doubt. Since I was little I liked this. I remember watching cartoons with the power rangers and dreaming of being this super powerful power ranger. I was dreaming I had this cool powers and I was fighting against evil and I always won :D well the good always won. I love the idea of angels and stuff.
Also I checked out this many videos about being a pleiadian starseed. Basically a starseed is a soul that has had life times on other planets. This video is sort of a personality check about pleiadians starseed. If you have most of the characteristics shown in the video then it is LIKELY(not 100%)that you are a pleiadian starseed :) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kSEoJfVmow
Well I strongly believe I am a plaiadian starseed. The reason why I came here...I think I came here to help others evolve. Lastly if you like the whole pleiadians thingy you may use to check out this guys channel...i mean his video series : http://www.youtube.com/user/777ALAJE

That's a good one, very well said..
I don't know about dying daily, but I feel different pretty often. Sure it's me, but for me, me is ever-changing. It seems more like a soup or a mixture of aspects or souls. In a sense, that's pretty similar to those monsters in Full-Metal Alchemist, in case you might've seen it.

I remember 2 maybe 3 past lives. I've dreamed of them my whole life and always had a few memories. I've even met people I'm sure I knew. I don't think I was anyone that important, but I was important to somebody that is important to me and that's what counts. :)
Suusch you have spiritual progress which has carried over from your past lives. Send me an email at joshtucker7@gmail.com and we can talk more about this.
Andreidionsie you have a very interesting point of view as well. I am excited to see your video, maybe you could go into detail on that topic.
