“The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.”
Rumi

Depending on the purpose of one’s meditation, one can go to the gods, reside in peaceful
harmony, or obliterate the ego to reach the so-called “Ground Luminosity.” This is the light that exists at the core of Creation. It is encountered at the moment of death and imbas (please note that the Gaelic word for death ‘bas’ is found within imbas). How we act and what we bring to such an encounter will determine our own experiences within the Otherworld, and will also shape our existence within each life that we live or throughout many lifetimes. Do not fear that you will be trapped within these experiences (especially if you are within a consecrated space and are strongly grounded as well as connected via bonds of love and honor to family). If one has an anamchara (a soul-friend), then that person will be the guiding light for the outward / inward journey, as well as the return journey. There is always a return path for those who clearly see their own truth or the truth of a soul-friend.
