3-Dimensions change to 2-dimensions
I meditated at the top of
the temple again today and it was just so relaxing... the weather
was great, cloudy and a cool wind blowing. I sat for 30 minutes or
so... and at times there were periods of no thought, no mind... no
body really. Nothing. No memory, thought, nothing... but that
experience was sprinkled with a realization of the body returning
sometimes. The eyes were mostly closed, but at times they opened. So
I stood up and walked around the structure, looking at the mountains
on one side and the plains on the other... I became aware of a
feeling that the eyes should focus on one spot - opened, and
concentrate all focus there. This was not a conscious feeling, nor a
voice. I've experienced something like this before, yet this was
different. The video might explain better. While focusing on
one spot on the side of the mountain I had an experience unlike any
before...

dimensions change to 2 dimensions video
Update: I forgot
to continue the experience after I put the video link
above. I have attention deficit disorder and sometimes that happens.
Ok, here is the rest of what happened...
I focused
on a point on the side of a mountain - a limestone karst here
in Krabi, Thailand that was just a random spot on the mountain where
my eyes naturally went directly in front of me and lower than I was
vertically. There was no thought in the mind. The scene in front of
me began to change. There was some strangeness going on with the
visual aspect of the mountain. Incredibly, though at the time my
mind was not moved by it - just watched, the entire scene in front
me - my whole field of vision turned from 3 dimensions to 2
dimensions. It started with the mountain which quickly turned into a
2-D image. I looked around at everything within my field of view -
it was all the same, just 2-dimensions. I continued to look at the
scene. It was if my field of view was now a painting. Nothing was
moving - the trees were too far away to see move if they were. There
was nothing in front of me because I was standing on a Buddhist
altar type structure at the far north side. There was nothing but
some sharp rocks below me, beyond that a huge valley, and the
mountain in front of me.
So as I
watched the scene the mountain began to get lines running through
it. I realized the mountain was turning into a jigsaw puzzle. It
made pieces of a puzzle that could all be fit together and form the
scene. I continued to watch.
The pieces
of the puzzle started shaking - I could see white behind the pieces
as they shook hard like they were going to fall down into a big
heap. What was beyond the 2-D scene - ? What was the white area? It
was strange and I cut the scene off before it could go further. It's
funny to say it, but on this day I had kind of had enough of these
experiences. I'd already decided that enlightenment wasn't a
worthwhile goal. It wasn't something to be sought after. If it was
going to happen right now at this moment, I didn't care. I stopped
it by turning around and the scene though at first two dimensional
turned back to 3-D and I was without thought for a time.
That was
about it... I walked back down the steps in silence, went to eat my
usual fried rice at my usual restaurant, and went about the rest of
my night...
