I<\/span> had this spiritual experience the day before a college retreat. I was chanting the Taeeulju Mantra alone when I saw the blurred image of a person. As they came closer, I found out that it was a man wearing a pockmarked mask. He was wearing a headdress akin to those of the Pharaohs of Egypt and was also carrying a cane. Suddenly, the shivers ran through my whole body. I had never been so scared save for when I went through chemotherapy. As I chanted the Taeeulju and Oju mantras at a fast pace, he got out of my sight.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had another such experience. While practicing dynamic meditation, I saw scenery of the four seasons in a clockwise direction. Then, I heard the sound of a drum beat, which got louder and louder. Surprisingly, it was me who was making the drum sound, beating the a drum on a big ship. A little later, I saw many battleships from many countries in every direction. I saw the flags of the United States, Japan, China and Russia. Soon, the ocean was filled with drum sounds from each and every battleship. It sounded like a signal for war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
