My first visual experience of the Pattern…

My first visual experience of the Pattern occurred in my early 40s. It was sudden and startling. I was seated in my favorite meditation chair—a perfectly padded gray La-Z-Boy recliner—relaxed and beginning a slow-breath method to slip into higher consciousness. Without warning, I felt myself—my soul—lift.

As my awareness shifted from the physical body into a subtler state, my energetic core first perceived a deep, luminous blackness, unbounded by time or space. As I adjusted to this vision, my focus sharpened, and I found myself within a dimensionless field of clear blue and white energy lines intersecting to form a grid—an energy matrix that permeated and embraced all consciousness.
