High-subtle mysticism

by Marinus Jan Marijs

High-subtle bhava samadhi – sublevel D

At the age of nineteen. Waiting for a bus to the Central Station of Rotterdam. About 21.30h in the evening. The mind was in some existential view on life, shifting between meaning and meaninglessness. What was the significance of life? The answer came, but not as a theoretical concept.

Suddenly there was a deep contact with a totally different dimension. A feeling of expansion and, the next moment, standing in the middle of a radiant sphere of subtle energy six meters across.

The physical world seemed to fade to the background. Touching the depths of inward space, and in the fullness of time there was timelessness. An overwhelming feeling of total ecstasy, a sea of light, splendour of existence. A constant out-flowing of shining luminosity. Joy in industrial quantities.

Stepping onto the bus and talking to the driver it was there. Stepping out of the bus and walking to the train station it was there. Stepping onto the train just before 22.30 it was still there. At 22.50 it slowly faded away, leaving a wondering about what had happened during the last hour and twenty minutes.

All the time there was a sphere of energy of six meters across. Not vaguely felt, but totally clear. The question ‘what is the meaning of life?’ was answered. It was the answer to all the questions that ever existed.

The energy was hundreds of times deeper, greater, more intense than anything at the physical or mental level. This experience has since recurred some 20-30 times so far in life. It happened while walking in a park, sitting in a train or underground carriage, walking on the street or whilst indoors, and lasted for varying durations: 10 minutes, 20 minutes, one hour.

From a technical point of view

Technically speaking, this is the maximum activation of concentrated subtle energy that is possible for a human at a high-subtle level. This sphere of six meter across consists of five concentric layers, each with a different color (see figure 2. no. 3).
