Jane's website

I liked Jane Alexander's website. She went through her transformation and is now giving some useful information such as the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" and "Spiritual Emergency" to have others read and gain the benefits from it.

It's good to have this type of information to learn and understand our complex experiences AND that mental illness doesn't have to be a permanent condition. It is my belief, that we also need SPECIFIC advice on how to heal and stabilize these unique spiritual transformations. I have posted about many healing modalities that I found useful throughout my path - here and on my own website.

When you go deep into your meditation you may move in the wrong direction and recognize voices. This all seems fascinating at first. Most spiritual authors have identified this as an astral realm experience. It is part of our low subconscious mind. I believe that if you want to get well, it is better stopped or avoided.

You may have not realized but there is a deeper problem beyond the "hearing voices" stage. The subtler stage is when you hear or sense strong thought-impressions. These thoughts can be powerful enough to impulse you to act in negative ways. Since there is no voice pattern or inflection you wouldn't really know what gender it is...if it comes from the inside or outside....or whether it comes from yourself or another. Why? For the very reason it is a more subtle phenomena than an audible-tone and hence harder to discern.

I think people enjoy meditation and the healing benefits that come through it. But for me, there is only one doctrine that explains the attainment of No-mind and No-self in such exact and specific detail. Although I have no experience myself...I have understood that once you get there you will have no gross emotional-afflictions. Many realized masters have indicated that once this transformation is attained there is no past anymore. It is completely understood as an ILLUSION that happened to someone else. In addition, since there is no more reification of external objects one is perfectly calm and at ease...like a big weight has been lifted.

I find it quite sad that our present society is confused on many topics like mental health and spirituality or religion. The fact is, it is a degenerate time. As I mentioned earlier the Five Paths and Ten Bhumis are the tether that holds every serious aspirant together. It's what he or she needs to know in order to get out of the Matrix safely.

This complete and detailed path is what every psychiatrist needs to know if they want to truly help their patients. Even Christ, whether you believe the stories were a myth or a wisdom-display, was persecuted for doing some things considered unorthodox - against the societal and church regulations. Maybe his behavior was purposefully enacted as an example of what NOT to do.

If you are a highly realized being then maybe its not a problem for you. Then you will delight at not getting insulted at personal attacks. You won't complain when sticks and stones are thrown at you. However, if you are NOT realized and can still get stuck in the system then you have to be careful. Then you have to discern right from wrong behavior and/or correct from incorrect meditation. But for someone at your level I know you would just levitate out of prison or walk through the institutional walls. :)

At any rate, I hope this discussion will provide information to benefit others to avoid the painful situation that I had gone through.

Good luck!
