Tantric Earth Lights
By David Jay Brown
I had a very strange experience a few years ago that I am at a lose to
explain. One evening my (at-the-time) girlfriend (Heaven) and I were in my
bathroom. The lights were out In the bathroom, and it was in the early
part of the evening, after the sun had gone down. We were kissing, and I
had my eyes closed, when I suddenly noticed that a light was shining on my
face. I opened my eyes and saw that a bright light beam was coming In
through the bathroom window and shining right on Heaven and I. I looked
out the window and saw what appeared to be a bright flashlight around
twenty or thirty yards away, which was pointed In the window, directly on
us.
At first I thought that It was my landlady out looking for something In
the dark, but I became concerned when the light beam continued to be
sustained on us. Heaven and I srood in front of the window, and looked
right Into the light beam. We both looked at the light, and I was
thinking, who in God’s name Is shining a flashlight In at us? That's when
the really weird stuff began. What happened for the next 20 to 30 minutes
(or what seemed about that length of time) was really strange.
The bright light beam that had been sustained on us began floating around,
and blinking on and off. There would be total darkness, then several spots
on the trees would light up for a few seconds, like small discreet flashes
of lightening.
These lightening-like flashes went on for quite some while, and then there
were flashes of light In different colors. I saw reds, whites, yellows,
and oranges, but Heaven sold that she saw other colors as well.
It was just so strange. Then we began seeing circles of light with symbols
or objects In their center. We saw a circle of yellow light with what
appeared to be a bright red lantern In the center. We watched In a state
of astonishment, terror and fascination. We just couldn't believe what we
were seeing, and It almost seemed as If our emotional reactions were
having an effect on the frequency of the lights. It was so so weird, and
then It all just suddenly stopped.
My neighbors, who own the property, didn't see anything when I asked them
about it the next day. They have no Idea what Heaven and I saw, and there
should have been no one else on the property. I live In a pretty Isolated
area, out In the middle of the woods, several miles up a steep mountain
that Is accessible only by car, and mischievous teenagers don't seem a
likely explanation. No people were seen or voices heard.
Then, to top It all off, when we went upstairs into my loft, we discovered
that more time had gone by than we could fully account for.
The light show seemed to last under 30 minutes, yet more than two hours
had gone by. After this happened I wasn’t able to stop thinking about for
several weeks, and asked everyone I knew if they had ever seen anything
similar. No one had. I've never seen anything like It before in my life,
but Heaven said that she had seen lights like this before In her dreams.
Then, since this experience, I've now had two dreams where I saw similar
lights In the trees, or a bright light beam shining Into my house through
the window.
Several weeks after after the experience with the lights I discovered a
book by Albert Budden called Electric UF0s: Fireballs, Electromagnetics
and Abnormal States, which has an interesting section on what are called
"earth lights". It states that "during periods of tectonic activity and/or
mechanical strain In faults, globes of light were produced which could be
of various colors, last for considerable periods of time and had the
ability to change shape. Orange and white were the two colors which
predominated, and one of the mechanisms proposed Involved piezoelectric
and piezomagnetic process, whereby rock masses, predominantly silicates,
produced such energies due to unreleased ground strain. Many different
reports of light forms were collected from geological data around the
world, showing that such terrestrial lights could take many different
forms, e.g. globes, beams, multi-colored points of light, discs, ovoids,
etc."
This description of "earth lights" sounds similar to what my partner and I
experienced that evening looking out my bathroom window. I live In the
Santa Cruz mountains of California, which Is riddled with fault-lines.
Prior to earthquakes in this area, there are often reports of unusual
animal behavior, which provides further evidence for the piezoelectric
theory, as this Is the leading explanation for such reports. This theory
may also explain our altered state of consciousness at the time, as
electric fields are known to alter neurotransmitter ratios in the brain.
But what caused the light beam to shine directly on us as we we were
kissing for such a sustained period of time? Perhaps the erotic-tantric
energies that we were cultivating created a channel or link of some kind
with the electrical energy that manifested as the earth lights? Perhaps
our nervous systems were In some type of resonance with the electrical
field that was being generated by the fault-line pressure on the quartz
crystal in the earth's crust? God only knows. Heaven said that she
believes that the lights that we saw may have been intelligent, alive and
conscious in some way. I have to admit I did have that impression as well,
and the Tantric Earth Light theory doesn't discount the possibility that
the light was an intelligent entity of some sort.
Whatever it was that happened that night, we may never know.
The above story appeared in the June, 2004 issue of Fate magazine. When I
recounted this experience to the late Harvard psychiatric researcher John
Mack, he was intrigued by it, and offered to put me into a relaxed
hypnotic state, to explore my memory of the event, and see if anything
else may have happened that I didn’t recall. Unfortunately we never had
the opportunity to do this before he died. Although I don’t think anything
more happened than I described above, because of John’s curiosity, I have
always wondered.
