DC comics have also published many images of individuals flying.

anybody think that it's a depiction of the soul or spirit flying? not the actual human.. perhaps the mind during meditation.. dunno. god bless.

We speak of the poor people, their poverty, and sad condition. And all you can talk about is self, self, self. You wouldn't know the Dharma if it crawled up your ass and laid eggs. That eternalist peace of yours will give you millions of experiences. Enjoy.

[BoardSkate73]

@buddhasknowbest It is best not to tie yourself up in karma for thousands of experiences.

What is one moment of the test of dignity worth to eternal peace? Inner peace? One learns to know through Dharma.

Thank you everyone involved in this.

While in "spirit form"... I looked up into the sky at the clouds, which were grey and it was in the evening. Immediately the clouds split perfectly in half as though a giant sabre had cut through them to reveal a bright blue sky... For some strange reason I wasn't too impressed, all I cared about was getting back to my body so I could tell people what had happened.

[9MattChin6]

The prayer was simple, complete and total compassion for all people, I prayed until I cried for the hope of their well-being and futures, asking God for all I desire for them. Even my enemies. Just as a closed my eyes after praying and laid down... I could see 2 tiny white lights with my eyes closed... they seemed to get closer and closer until they entered my eyes, then the "vision" began. Very cool stuff, haha.

[9MattChin6]

In some cases what might be considered a lucid dream is actually an out of body experience, an example might be where you suddenly find yourself fully aware of your surroundings "awake" floating in your room looking at your body laying in your bed.... able to determine that somehow you are seperated from your body yet still fully concious. I've done it before just from praying for a few hours straight, then laid down and immediately went out of my body and was floating 20-feet above my house...

[scradincunt]

its obviously representing lucid dream experiences which there very adept at.
