Bhairitu, IMO, these experiences of "celestial beings" may be due to hynogogia, a state of consciousness in between sleep and waking. It would appear that meditation, for some people, may enhance or extend hynogogia into the waking state. Thus, they appear to see or hallucinate visions in conjunction with ordinary activities during the day. The folks I referred to in the interview see them all the time, very clearly, in the waking state. Although since they’re in an enlightened state, or whatever you’d like to call it, it’s not really the waking state. It’s what Maharishi predicted in his 7-states model: refined, “celestial” perception. Subtle or “celestial” beings are all around us, or in a parallel dimension. Most people just can’t see them because their perception is not sufficiently refined.
