When Did you First Feel the Gods? (First Spirit Experiences)

[baldur369]

Hello all,

I was curious as to other people's personal experiences with when they first felt an undeniable connection to the Gods, or their first super tangible spiritual experiences in the context of the Temple of Zeus, after focused spiritual work etc.

Additionally, how long it took you in general when sober and meditating to feel an tangible spiritual experience/connection to the Gods.

For me some of these more intense have been in a chemically-enhanced state.

My context:

At the beginning of last year I had my first proper spiritual experience with feeling empowered as 'one' with the Gods and with my ancestors. It was in an intense ritual experience with two others, chanting in a circle where I then felt I 'became' a Nordic creator God, when I had my eyes closed I 'saw' a scene with me wielding a celestial hammer and anvil working on a 'world' infront of me, buzzing electricity all throughout my body, my voice deepened without me trying to do it, my speed and energy/strength increased meaningfully. Words were coming through me which I had no control over as if I were a great Viking warrior who was happy to see his friends again. These effects wore off over a few hours. I have Norweigan ancestry on one side.

Since then I have had other spiritual experiences, some as intense as that first one, some more relaxed. One in particular in which I was throwing thunderbolts at Ahriman's forces in the ether realm. I was not controlling my arms but as I 'powered up' by chanting and buzzing in my self, at one point something else took over and I was BZZZZ-ing right up to the point where my arms would pull back as if throwing something, then release a bolt of energy. This is without me moving my arms consciously. In my mind's eye, I could see two great armies battling one another and I had the feeling that they were Ahriman's forces VS the 'good' forces of the Gods.

Now, since practicing in a sober state, I can chant and feel the energized state, feel the electricity in my body but I haven't yet seen or felt the visceral, undeniable complete visual experience of 'another world' or 'becoming' something else in that state.

On some level, I do miss that undeniable, magic sensation experience - I don't think it is Exclusively needed, but is that kind of experience just 'easier' to access when using a substance like K?

I do believe that these other more mystical experiences may take a much longer time when practicing fully soberly. I'm aware that with the above mentioned experiences I probably dove headfirst into things I wasn't necessarily aware of what was happening, opening my energy field without being properly protective of it. I do not regret them because they opened my mind up to what is possible and put me on the path to eventually find the Temple of Zeus.

Wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences or can shed some light on what I have felt.

ps. I am not advocating substance use in any way, just enquiring as to if anyone else knows more.

I was in a state of confusion and transformation when I started this path. I was educating myself to become a better person. I was reading The Heart of Yoga by TKV Desikachar. Examing myself and riding myself of avidya.

One day, I had a cloud over my head. I wanted to be happier and successful. I went to my bed and focused on my breathing. I fell into a trance and all of a sudden, I was struck by bright gold lightening. It lit up my soul and I could see my chakras vibrating vibrantly. I felt the power, vibration and tranquility.

At first, I was a bit resentful and said, "Why now?" Immediately I heard the strong voice of Zeus telling me to be more respectful. "How dare you say that to me. I created you." I realized the opportunity I was letting slip by because of my ignorance.

I took in the energy and realization that Zeus had blessed me with. I've been much happier and productive since! Having a true and trusting connection with the Gods has improved my life in countless ways!

Hail Zeus ️

I haven't seen Satan as I doubt that's something one could ever see, Father Satan is overall the most majestic and mysterious one, it is the literal everything that cannot be seen in a way but felt.

On short, from the moment of my birth I have encountered countless interaction with the enemy and even trying to somehow convert me on their side either by fear either by promising stuff.

I have always being a being which seek truth and freedom and Lucifer has shown Himself to me many times then once.

For Him, all of living is equal but let's say "us" we've got more of His essence within our own very self, when we evolve spiritually we're getting closer to God himself, that's why in the enemy spirituality context which is stolen and crap they share the ideea and promotion of avoiding God because who tf is one low creature even daring reaching to the Real God Himself but that's what how things meant to be from the very begging of somebody's journey.

If you keep proceeding and do what must to be done, inevitability everyone will meet Satan especially when reaching end point of Mo, He's the holder of the Keys.

I have spoken many times with Him and I know how the "perfect" world supposed to look like and I'm telling you that we're very far but trying our best to do the best but this requires collectively effort, one being can't take upon the world only by himself, I refer to anything below God level.

I've been into spiritually since long before I was introduced to ToZ, some time ago now I was checking out the site again and decided to read the Al-Jilwah. Nearing the end of the text I felt a tangible presence materialize around me and in that moment I knew I wasn't alone anymore. Really quite intimidating but I also felt protected at the same time.
