How do you perceive transition in deep meditation?

In deep meditative states, many people describe entering a tunnel, passageway, or wormhole. These inner structures seem to guide consciousness through thresholds, often leading to other dimensions, memories, or states of being. While the form may vary, the experience of crossing into something deeper is nearly universal.

This phenomenon isn’t new.

In Ancient Egypt, the Book of Gates described a journey through Duat, the underworld. Each gate marked a phase of the night, passed by the sun god as he traveled below the horizon. These gates represented energetic thresholds, often shown as narrow corridors flanked by serpents, guardians, or stars.

Similarly, Tibetan Buddhism’s Bardo Thödol (Book of the Dead) maps the passage through death realms as a series of inner thresholds, Shamanic cultures describe entering the underworld or spirit realm through root tunnels, caves, or tree hollows, and Mystics and Near-Death Experiencers consistently describe tunnels of light, spiraling paths, or moving through fields of vibration to reach new states.

The Monroe Institute’s Gateway Experience uses sound technology (binaural beats) to train the brain into synchronized states. Practitioners report entering tunnels or passageways as they shift into altered states like Focus 10, 12, or 21. These transitions often feel like moving through a channel.

In Netist meditation, such transitions are seen as moments when awareness crosses a field line in the Net. This may appear to the inner eye as:
A tunnel of light
A spinning vortex
A thread, root, or string
A bridge, current, or spiral stair
A watery passage, mist, or flow of sound

There’s no single correct vision of transition. Each spirit perceives the Net differently, based on their resonance, memory, and inner structure.
