no i have not...i guess its hard to relate my experiences to those of others...i feel that the desire for spiritual enlightenment (for the lack of a better phrase) is the best bait for attracting spiritual interaction. i constantly put the door mat out after i first started feeling things that i could not put a word to, but liked...most of these 'events' happened just before sleep with eyes closed.
one of the first things i remember experiencing started out as more of a physical experience, disorientation. while lying in bed one night i had the distinct feeling that my head was near the door at the foot of my bed. i tried unsuccessfully to turn the feeling around, but it stayed with me until i opened my eyes. after about 3 such incidents i wondered if i could maintain the feeling of disorientation after opening my eyes...the next time the feeling came over me, i was just about to open my eyes to get rid of the feeling, when i remembered my previous thought. i concentrated on the feeling and then opened my eyes...and the feeling stayed! from that moment on i was hooked on whatever it was that i was dealing with. things progressed over the years until i started having what i can best describe as obe's or astral projection. in between i welcomed any such feeling that wanted to visit me. when something happened, i revelled in it for days, bringing the experience to the forefront of my thoughts for extended periods, washing myself in the joy and amazement of the event. i yearned for more, and this desire, combined with keeping these wonderful events close to heart, is sorta what i mean by polishing ones spirit. i realize that this isnt much of an explanation, but its the best i can do since even relaying some of the experiences i went through cannot easily be described.
