The light from the sun outside
Seemed to be getting brighter and brighter
I closed the curtain but the light still remained
Getting brighter and brighter 
Causing me to squint and blink
Upon each blink the light seemed to get brighter
Until the light was so bright
I could no longer bear to open my eyes

I existed in a space
Where I saw a small hole
That seemed the entrance of a tunnel
Pouring out light
I felt not a pull towards it
Nor a push towards it
But an urge so strong
That it would have been impossible to go any other way
The direction was my choice
And I had more intent than I knew existed
Focused on this tunnel of light
The closer I got
The closer I came to perfection
I felt pure love
Unconditional and accepting
Absolute peace
The promise or perfection
I felt no baggage
No need to ever sleep
I could never be weary
There was nothing to fear
What I consisted of
Co-existed with the fabric of all else
I had no care for anything I'd left behind
I found not any insecurity
I felt worthy
As though I'd finally arrived home
Here was where I truly belonged
I felt I'd been here before
I felt I knew where I was going
I was anything but lost
And I started to become aware
I had no knowledge
But I was aware
I had no questions
Only answers
And I was aware
I could bring forth any knowledge I desired
As if this was where all knowledge existed
I felt everything all at once
I saw my life.
Not in stages,
But all at once.
Not in fast forward,
But all at once.
I felt everything
All at once
I felt the feelings felt by everyone
All at once 
All the feelings an action conjures
Or ever will conjure
I felt all at once
The skills I had in life
Have no use here
There was no time
Only this moment
There was no air
Just this space
No sound
No society
No economy
No civilization
No chaos
Life on earth
Was not compatible with existence here

Then I blinked again
Oh God I blinked again
And I was back in my shell
I felt weight on me
The realization of time passed
The sound of voices so unharmonious
And God why
A pain in my heart
The pinnacle pain of a broken promise
I opened me eyes
And the colours I saw were so un-fulfilling
And I needed to breath this air
Which seemed so thick and stained
And the scratch of thirst on my tongue
Blurred between the concepts of two worlds I did
The most desperate thing I've ever done,
I blinked in desperation
Then blinked again in anticipation
Then blinked once more in desperation

Then conceded defeat in frustration

Today I'm better for the experience
For the promise of something greater
And every time I blink in obligation
I stop and think
At least I'm one of the few that know
I mean know for sure
Without any doubt

It's not a concept
It's not a myth
It's not a lie
It's a real place
