Y not said:How ‘high up’ were you when you were ‘in that happy state’, do you remember?From that place from where you did not want to return?
For gandhabbas restricted to the human plane are not in what may be described a happy state at all; they are craving a human body and envy those in them who are enjoying what they themselves are missing. They do not want to stay there.
Well, after a while of out of body, still remember a place which was so peaceful and felt as though this is what I was to be. Don’t know how high up it was, but the place is very vivid even today which is filled with calm and nothing seem to move or change or in motion.
When I get into jhana now, sometimes, that place seem to get familiar but certainly not the one I had experienced then.
Hopefully, with cleaning of mental contents, someday that might become reality and guess that is what is called as “nirodha samapatti” state.
I had been to that place accidentally and with constant clearing of impurities, might reach that place with knowledge instead of just Out of Body.
