Possession in Meditation? - 05.13.10

Student Question: Some people say that when you are meditating, and you go out-of-body, that there are good entities—or bad entities—that can possess you. Is that true?
“No, not if you’re meditating the way we do. We’re not saying to leave the body; we’re saying to simply leave the superficial mind that is chattering,” explains Shunyamurti, the founder of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. The real danger is more the demons that are in your unconscious mind rather than any external entities. “But anxieties may come up that have been held down, but if you remain the observer of it, and actually offer it to the source of your Being, you will dissolve it. So it’s more an opportunity than a danger.” So if you can remain the in the position of the detached observer, then you will be much safer than you would in a fragmented, or normal, state of consciousness. Recorded on the evening of Thursday, May 13, 2010.
