Into nothing
    #27099066 - 12/20/20 10:14 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

I'm a newcomer to tripping, but had a cool experience last night that I wanted to share as I'm still kind of blown away by it.

At one point during my trip I had decided that there was too much man-made light and that I needed to get away from it for a while.  So I went into my bedroom and made it as dark as possible, then sat on the bed.  I was initially facing the windows and there was a little bit of light coming in, so I decided to turn around and face the wall.

When I turned around I went... away. 

I was in a place of pure nothingness.  This place was somehow expansive and infinite but at the same time was also pure nothing.  It didn't feel empty, strangely; or cold, or sterile.  I don't think I was there in my own body, I didn't have any sense of having a body while I was there but I knew I had a body back where I had been before.  I think I just existed as me in the place of nothingness.

I wasn't there long, unfortunately, but I think I went there a couple of times during that portion of my trip.  I don't think I had any particular feeling about the place, other than being amazed that I was there.  I didn't feel sad to leave or feel a strong compulsion to return.  (I don't think I consciously tried to go there again after the first visit.)  Once I had left for the last time it seemed that that part of my trip was complete and I was ready for something else.

It definitely felt incredibly real, I didn't get the sense that I was imagining it, and it was unlike anything I've ever experienced before.  As I said, a really cool experience and I'm glad I got to have it, and I'm really interested in trying to have it again and explore it further.

even without words to describe it, you did a great job by referencing your feelings about this familiar alien space of being.

I hope you return and speak of it again.

it is interesting psychologically and zen wise
buddha said mind is no other than it's cognizing function
so you stopped judging and evalutating good and bad and like praise
thus it was like there was only seeing what was there and a bit what if and that is maybe

I really relate to your post.

The way you express it sounds very similar to an experience I had.

Some time ago, I was sat in the darkness of my bedroom on a meditation cushion, facing a wall when suddenly my body was no longer 'there,' only a vast, infinite, pure and empty directionless space.

Like you say: "when I turned around I went... away."

It had a timeless quality, like it had always been here - a reality beyond all appearances. As I turned around, the light from the street lamp came through my bedroom window and appeared within the pure nothingness, like a dream.

I haven't had an experience like it that was as powerful since, but I've got a faint sense of it through meditating and using the headless experiments that Douglas Harding created. Check out: headless.org, if interested.
