I’ve been experiencing something profound lately. When I focus deeply on the Dhamma, I feel an overwhelming sense of calmness and relaxation. Everything around me seems to brighten up.
- As I delve deeper, I’ve started to see myself as a process that cognizes, rather than a fixed ‘me’ or ‘I.’ It’s a strange yet calming feeling.
- However, when I focus too much on the ‘me’ part, I experience fear – it’s as if the self doesn’t want to let go! But when I return to a more normal understanding, the fear subsides.
- My experience isn’t as intense as the jhana feelings people often describe, but it’s related. I feel calm, serene, and connected to the Dhamma.
- Physically, I’ve noticed some interesting sensations – the room seems brighter, I get goosebumps for no reason, and I’ve even felt a slight cold sensation that disappears quickly.
Also, I’ve cried a little when understanding the Dhamma deeply. It’s a feeling that comes and goes.
