The Light Orb

In the year of 2012, I was living in a small coastal village of San Agustinillo, Mexico. I lived there for about 6 months, learning meditation, the art of healing and various ancient ways of elevating and expanding my conscious awareness. It was a dreamy and magical place and it was filled with a lot of mysterious energies. I experienced some of the highest of highs as well as the lowest of lows here and had reached some of the greatest depths of my being. No matter what was happening in this remote and mysterious area of the world, it felt intense. Whether intensely beautiful or painful just seemed to be up to fate at the time. Even on an external level, the world seemed to be affected as there was a powerful earthquake and later a very destructive hurricane that had left the whole village in ruin.

Throughout my entire stay there, I would hear about a mysterious nearby area called Punta Cometa being very popular for otherworldly sightings and extraterrestrial phenomena. At the time, I had no interest in it and whenever a surrounding group of people would schedule a trip there, I chose to stay behind. Later on, I had many mystical experiences there that have opened my awareness to new levels of existence. One of them in particular stands out above all, as it had introduced me to a world I was not yet aware of.

It was a late afternoon, toward the end of my 6 months stay in San Agustinillo, when I was sitting on a long stretch of empty beach with a beautiful local puppy Macqueen that I completely fell in love with just a few months earlier. I must have been only a few meters away from the crashing waves of the ocean when I was drawn to close my eyes and drift into meditation. My lovely puppy was sitting right next to me peacefully, which was a rare occasion for him. It could have been 15-20 minutes later when I felt Macqueen become fidgety again and upon opening my eyes I noticed something in the ocean. At first glance, what I saw made no sense. It seemed as if the waves of the ocean had an unrealistic shape. Only when I further examined, I saw what appeared to be thousands of manta rays flipping along with the waves. It looked as if the ocean itself was made up of manta rays! It was a spectacular view! I was absolutely in awe of this sight and completely overcome with amazement. I have always loved manta rays and considered them to be among the most elegant and majestic creatures. To see them now in masses, created an overwhelming energy field and I was in profound awe of what I saw.

To this day, I do not know how much time went by, but after what seemed like an endless, timeless presence, I closed my eyes and drifted into a very peaceful state. After some time, I opened my eyes and instinctively looked up at the sky. My eyes became fixated on an incredibly bright beam of light far in the distance. This was an unusual sight, since it was still daylight. At first, I thought it was a plane that was really far away and was somehow lit up by the reflection of the sun, but instead of following a usual flight pattern, it began to move erratically and with extreme speed in my direction. Instantly, I became frozen with fear. It moved so incredibly fast that it startled me. It first appeared in a very far distance and then, only within seconds, rapidly moved toward me. Then, it suddenly stopped directly above me and began to hover at about 10-15 meters up in the air.

Overwhelmed by the presence of something so powerful and otherworldly, I felt completely paralyzed with fear and overcome with amazement all at the same time. This bright beam of light seemed to have a consciousness of its own and it appeared to be intently observing me. The light it exuded was so brilliant and its energy felt so powerful. There was no doubt in my mind that this bright light was completely self-aware. Time stood still and after what seemed like a timeless state of existence, the light began to disappear. It took off with the same erratic pattern as before, until it fully dissolved into a far distance.

Still reeling from the shock of what I saw, I realized I was now filled with such an unusual amount of energy that I could no longer sit still. Even my darling puppy Macqueen was unusually hyper. When I looked down at the ocean, I noticed the manta rays were gone! All of them were suddenly no longer there! Only minutes prior to the appearance of this beam of light, the ocean was filled with what seemed like tens of thousands of manta rays and now there was not even one of them left behind!

Now, looking back, I am certain that the 2 events were somehow connected. That perhaps the mantas were being moved by something much bigger and greater than them, something completely incomprehensible and unbeknownst to them.

Whatever that something was that happened on that late magical afternoon on that beautiful beach, it opened my eyes and my mind to something much greater than me.
