So last night I was meditating, and when I finally reached a state of inner peace I heard a glimpse of my voice saying something along the lines of "meditation is not a good word for what you are doing. Long ago there were far better names for it..." Not exactly, but something along those lines. Anyways, I thought I was hearing my inner self or God or something because it was weird. It was like the words were coming from somewhere below my consciousness. When I am falling asleep I hear strange things sometimes, but they are random and chaotic. They are called hypnagogic hallucinations. What happened during my meditation was very different. Any input?
Could be any number of things........all of which are thoughts. Observe it, realize you're observing it, and go back to your focal point/mantra. Whatever it may be, and however profound it might seem, it's still just a thought. This includes full on visions of Buddha, Jesus, etc. Just observe quietly and go back to your focal point. This is the same for all experiences in meditation.
In meditation we are susceptible of experiencing our full range of emotions, sensations, thoughts, etc., some of wich we didn't even suspect the existance.
I have had similar things happen and trust me it gets much more intense and sometimes even scary. At first i thought i had contacted some external entity but now i feel as if it is something internal such as a spirit guide or my subconcious. It started with hearing voices saying things not to unlike what you are hearing. Then one night i was in deep meditation and i got the sensation that there was a large hand on top of my head and that this hand was the hand of the speaker of this voice. Next my neck started to shake violently, but i still had a voice telling me to give in and not to be afraid. After alot more meditations like this i can now contact this entity at any point during the day ask it a yes or no question and it will shake my head yes or no the the answer. Im leaning toward this "voice" being my spirit guide but it could also be a deep part of my subsonscious.
There is no external, everything is within. I know what you are talking about, most of the time words fail to describe exactly what you have experienced. The best thing is to keep an open mind, and run with it. The worst thing that could happen is you learn more about your self.
