Luis,

I’m very happy that you have found an unconditioned state of bliss! The specifics would not be appropriate to discuss for many reasons, but perhaps what you are experiencing is the first jhana.

Buddha said that aspects of the supramundane are not appropriate to perform in public, and is known to admonish his students for performing miracles. He specifically said that he was ashamed of all powers except one, the power to teach. The others increase suffering, as those who witness siddhis are pushed into a deeper dualism of fascination. Said differently, when you use your empathy to prove its accuracy, your mind is pushed into a “look what I can do” and their’s “look what he can do” which are both distractions from the path.

Consider looking into a local sangha for a teacher, who may help you figure out what to do next.

With warmth,
Matt

Hi Luis,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can also attest to something similar. I spent some time in northern Thailand at a retreat center called New Life Foundation for two months. There I was given the time and space to ‘listen’ to what was rustling around inside of me. That experience eventually brought me so close to my authentic and true self. Some days were depressing, but I was still happy and was able to become aware of and understand why the depression was there.

I left Thailand about three months ago to come to Singapore to begin a new job and it has been difficult to maintain that space for understanding and listening to my heart. A book that I’ve read recently and refer to it often to remind myself about the processes that all human beings go through is Awareness by Anthony De Mello. You can also find some youtube videos of his online. What you speak about reminded me strongly of what he has to saw.

Kindly,
Alexander
