God and gurus have been preparing me for my transition for many months now, and one of my earlier experiences with this preparation occurred last February. I have has many moments of feeling “spaced out,” but this was totally different, and is still hard to describe. As I was meditating one morning, all of a sudden I felt like my soul, my consciousness, was beginning to separate from by body. It was a feeling that ran along my spine, the chakras, and is analogous to the bonded lining of an overcoat beginning to peel away from the outer shell of the coat. When I asked Tayo about this, he explained that it was BOTH an expansion of consciousness, an increasing movement of the center of gravity of my consciousness from ego to soul, as WELL as my soul beginning to leave my body. While this normally takes place in a period of days or hours, it seems I am being prepared over a longer period of time, and in a way that then began to lead to the experience in my last entry as well as other possible experiences that could happen at the actual transition.

For example, a few months later during one of my meditations using a technique taught by my guru, the hong sau technique, I went into a “place” where my body felt very, very heavy, and although I could feel the weight of it, I thought maybe I wasn’t actually in it because I remember wondering how I was going to get back in it. I wasn’t in the bright light I’ve seen other times or anything like that, but I did feel I wasn’t in my body, and yet I didn’t exactly feel like I was out of it. I simply wondered how and if I could get back into it. And then, next thing I knew, I was back in it; i.e., my form no longer felt heavy.

Since this was one of my earliest experiences with this transition process, I wasn’t sure exactly what to make of it. Was it typical of the journey toward transition? If so, then did it mark another level of leaving the body, i.e., putting a little more of my consciousness into the astral realm and therefore moving closer to the actual transition?

Tayo explained: The state you are describing is one of the possible states a soul can go thru in the initial transition, analogous to a dark cylinder or tube and floating free within it before the LIGHT is revealed.

So, what I was shown was another kind of experience one can have at their transition. It finally began to sink in that I was being blessed with seeing all kinds of alternatives that would prepare me for almost anything when the time comes for me to actually leave this form behind. After the last few lifetimes of leaving the cage in violent and/or very rapid, as well as chronologically early exits, the last of which was the Holocaust in Nazi Germany in a manner similar to that of Anne Frank, these preparatory experiences are incredible gifts – wonderful blessings – to my psyche.
