You know how there is a chakra above the head? I reached farther and found another chakra, and another, there were more below the root as well, then oneness kicked in. I no longer just felt the body but everything around the body.

I just meditated for the first time in years and had a bizarre experience
>relax into it, focus on breathing etc
>seems to be going well
>start having imagery that I get in that hypnogogic state before falling asleep
>ignore it and carry on focusing on breathing
>suddenly feel like I have no reference to anything, that I don't exist or know where I am
>open eyes and sit up in a panic
I was probably just falling asleep which is stupid, but the sensation was bizarre.

Kickapoo

Do you ever suspect you are a flesh automaton?

I like to think of myself as a flesh vehicle

Then what is driving you? Not yourself?

I am inhabited by a finite emanation from God following a predetermined path.

Lucky you then. I am a regretful demon that usurped the body of a creature above my station.

Sorry, that was me. I was astral projecting just above you.

Nothing to envy in determination, make use of your plight in whatever way is meaningful to you.

Sounds like a classic 5th Jhana experience. Basically what I used to consider the minimum for a successful meditation before learning how to meditate properly. It's a good thing but not that important if you're not using it as a base for some other practice.
