Not eventually but from the get-go. I've seen a bead of blue light every day for pretty much the last 30 years and if it is, indeed, the blue pearl it has never been much of a "Baroque" experience; it has been pretty much of a "ho hum" from the first time I saw it (always outside of meditation). In fact when it first started coming into my vision, I went to an eye doctor and asked him about it and he found nothing wrong with me and just told me to "enjoy it" if it wasn't interfering with my vision. Now, the blue lights I see WITHIN the period of TM seem to be, each time I experience it (which is at least once a week) another shade or aspect of blue that I hadn't previously seen. The last time it happened, it was such an intense experience and so beautiful that I actually audibly gasped. However, I haven't ever associated the experience of these light with the mantra, although it almost always happens during meditation (and sometimes during sleep). I mention this because the last time I got an advanced technique, one of the questions that they ask on the form is something to the effect of: does your mantra ever become light (not light as in weight but light as in vision light)? And I had to answer "no" because I never associated the lights with the mantra although perhaps that is indeed what it was: the mantra at a subtler level. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > > Or go to: > > > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > > > > and click 'Join This Group!' > > > > Yahoo!
