It may sound strange but I have had many such 'visions' throughout my life and a few even materialized into reality which had scared me somewhat, but I brushed such occurrences off as pure imagination or fantasy; I had always kept to myself things that I know will make others feel uncomfortable if I start sharing my thoughts like this i would end up being a laughing stock or feared as a freak. Mostly i attribute it all to too much You Tube or movies, too much 'sitting' or vivid imaginations. Whatever it may be, I am sharing this now so as to get it out of the way of my consciousness and not keep having to deal with such episode as they arise time and again when I least expect it.
So, what is the point in sharing this? This is how my mind is, this is how it operates among other myriads of modus operandi it has and this is what i have to be conscious and content with if i am a true seeker of truth, (for lack of better thing to call it by). The human mind is and enigma that is the most elusive and can be the most damaging companion a man can have throughout his life and not be aware of it. In its egoic form, the mind can even surpass God or the Buddhas, it is the most feared and worshipped by those who are blind to its wiles. In Islam it is called the Nafs,
Nafs (نَفْس) is an Arabic word (cognate of the Hebrew word nefesh נפש) occurring in the Qur'an and means self, psyche ego or soul. In the Quran, the word is used in both the individualistic (e.g. verse 2:48) and collective sense (verse 4:1), indicating that although humanity is united in possessing the qualities of a "soul/nafs/consciousness" they are individually responsible for exercising the agencies of their "free will" that it provides them.
