Heard an old song about a guy born in a summer when he was 27 years old.
I get that song; it was kind of about me, though not directly.
At age 27, sitting in meditation transcending like many other times
Unexpectedly, White Light lit up my head, bright like the sun,
A mind blowing moment unexpected and unprepared for.
Knew I was about to merge with the cosmos
And leave everything near and dear behind
Including my girlfriend back then, Ruth, who I loved dearly.
Frightened, almost shocked, pulled out of meditation shaking
As three green lights flashed above me alarmingly.
Days later, outside of meditation Kundalini energy
Flowing from the base of my spine to the crown of my head and all around it —
All through the waking state, an upward pristine flow;
Incomparable spiritual energy streaming nonstop.
Instinctively knew what went up was never coming down.
Thought I was entering Cosmic Consciousness prematurely,
A chilling thought, strapped in a psychiatric ward implications.
Cosmic Consciousness never happened, but could handle it now.
Over 50 years later, Light born spiritual energy still flows upward
From that mind blowing awakening in an illuminating summer,
That transformed me from a wayward, drinking too much, partying guy
To a 27-year-old spiritually remade reborn man who had seen the Light and was irrevocably changed forever.
