Hi onomatopoise
Heh, first post and already got myself a nickname!
Thank you for the welcome.

1) I experienced exactly the same thing years ago long before I was doing AYP practices, I was just dozing off on the sofa and I glanced at the clock, there was an audible crack, an electric blue flash and the clock stopped. It was probably some sort of energy transference don't worry about it just carry on with your practices. By the way is it AYP practices you are following?
This happened to me maybe a month ago. Everything seems to be working fine around here, though. No surges in electricity bills either.
When I first time read about this phenomenon in U.G. Krishnamurti's
Mystique of Enlightenment, I was very skeptical. Of course much has changed since that time, even to the degree that some people have begun to think me as a nutjob and quack.
What I engage is highly compatible with the principles of AYP, but it's very irregularized. Everything I do happens only if there is "natural volition." No effort of any kind, just observing the body or surroundings. I've been "drifting" like this for a year, and it feels a nice smooth ride.
No dramatic manifestations, but I've observed how my sense of limitedness (ego) has gradully vanished.

2) This sounds like purification to me, again don't worry about it these things pass in time.
Yea. It's freaky when something this dramatic turns in the first time.
