Hi, I’m Alex from Spain.
After a deep spiritual online conversation with someone I went to my terrace. Looking at the night sky, I saw a huge red ring that moved along my sight and I started to feel intense waves of energy from many directions that even my dog was feeling, for a long period of time. It feels to me like an ethereal or astral entity. Right after the experience, I felt like after a long meditation, well-wired to the world. What’s the meaning of the ring and the visit? THANKS!

Dear Alex,
With that kind of experience, we must always remain very cool-headed, scientific, applying strong discrimination. “Is this an optical phenomenon? Or is it a projection from within? Or is it truly an astral occurrence?” Otherwise the spiritual world turns into a magic world, where intuition mixes with fantasy — all very exhilarating and interesting but not grounded in truth.
This being said, the red ring you saw could of course be a fact. Astral realities and beings can indeed peer through the sky. Yogananda for example writes in his Autobiography of a Yogi that “a black astral cloud suddenly covered the sky.” The same book recounts what a devotee experienced: “I was further wonder-struck to behold a circling mass of mystical light traveling in the sky.” That light manifested as Mahavatar Babaji. Yogananda also describes how he saw, again in the sky, Krishna appearing:
“Lord Krishna!” The glorious form of the avatar appeared in a shimmering blaze as I sat in my room at the Regent Hotel in Bombay. Shining over the roof of a high building across the street, the ineffable vision had suddenly burst on my sight as I gazed out of my long open third-story window.
So if the red ring you saw was indeed a true vision and your perception of the energy a fact, it seems that you might have seen the aura of something or someone which was at the center of that huge ring but was hidden from your sight. I would take it as a blessing and guidance. It came to you after a deep spiritual conversation, so it is as if it was telling you: “These things are a huge blessing for you. Go within. Find the hidden truths of life. There is a magical and intensely beautiful heavenly world waiting for you to be discovered.”
All the best,
Jayadev
