Hi, recently I have been entering meditative states from short naps. Namely, I enter a sort of VOM or altered state of consciousness where everything is orange. I don't know if it really is, but my surroundings appear to be orange when I transition back to normal consciousness. This state of altered awareness has been developing in a way I don't understand, but it seems to be progressive. First I would just have residual memories of operating in a completely different mode. The other day I raised my arms to shoulder height and put my hands together, while in the altered state, but when I returned to normal consciousness it is almost like I had no memory of moving my arms; not because I didn't willfully move them, but because movement was conducted through an entirely different [thought] process that couldn't be conceptualized in the normal state. Instead of thinking, "ok move the right hand up," it was like Neo seeing those green codes in the Matrix (except orange) and manipulating arm movement from the codes. Am I wasting time with useless phenomena, or could a person move around and function in this state of awareness? I'd like to believe that the progressive development of the state is related to the evolution of the mental and astral bodies, but it really is hard for me to say, because there doesn't seem to be any sort of "body" involved in the operation (unless I can't remember). Has anyone experienced phenomena like this before? It is definitely orange, but maybe it is different for different people. Thanks, Dustin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
