Is it normal that i saw satan while i was meditating?

So, two of my friends and I decided to try meditating. We bought a book that was supposed to send us into a deep, peaceful meditation. Since I'm the only one with meditating experience, I was reading the first time as the other two fell asleep. There were no satanic evil words, just having us picture a peaceful ocean. After five minutes, they both emerged completely satisfied, at ease, and very happy. So, I did. As I was picturing my ocean as the other read aloud the words, the water turned black. I was sucked down into the middle of the ocean, and saw very creepy things. I saw a bald man, with a very evil look in his eyes. Then I saw some insane, horrific creature. (I'm the kind of person that laughed when she first saw the Exorcist.) They were coming nearer. I started screaming and writhing around, but I couldn't escape. Then my friends shook me awake. I believe I saw Satan. I'm not trolling. I'm not looking for jokes, I just want somebody to tell me if this was some projection of my inner mind or something. I haven't meditated since. I'm too scared to.

  • My instincts tell me "No" but you can't be sure so you might as well forget about it.

    It's a projection of your own fears. Go back into meditation and face it. But before you go, ask for protection and guidance.

    Satan normally appears as an angel surrounded by light his first name was lucifer meaning light bearer.
    the whole point of appearing that way is to create a sense of calm to lure ppl away from god to follow him. Now if you have no interest in the occult this may not be the case. What interest me about your post is you were visualizing during meditation ,This is done for scrying .the image is set and allowed to change and become livid while in a trance state THIS IS NOT FOR PPL THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT THERE DOING .New age books get ppl into trouble this way . For basic meditation sit comfortably breath in slow exhale slow and allow the body to enter a trance then when you are ready exit . now the body can be semi paralysed as the body sleeps while the brain stays awake. If this happens focus on moving a finger then a hand ect till your fully awake .You won't have problems this way .Your problem comes with the visualizing this opens a door in your mind to gain knowledge and can be scary if you don't understand it .

    meditation in and of itself is not sinful or evil. The problem arises when ppl meditate in the wrong way or for the wrong reason.
    mediation can also merge the diff forms of the mind main sub ect

    Ugh... It was just your imagination , your own dream, your own fear, and your own self. If you think that Satan came out of his way to see you meditating you are just as ignorant as the people who believe in God and think he did something good for them, like he cured their cancer or saved their life but left billion of other people to die.

    • "I just want somebody to tell me if this was some projection of my inner mind or something." I don't believe in God. But I believe everything happens for a reason. And you're just as ignorant as everyone who thinks that what they believe is completely right. Who are you to say what's out there? Maybe there is a God. Or maybe we are just advanced life forms. Or maybe everything happens for a reason. Who the fuck knows? Live and let live. As long as you don't believe in slaughtering everybody who doesn't, what's wrong with any belief?

        I never said that i know there is a god or there isn't. All i am saying is that people who believe that god or satan contact them or help them in anyway but chose not do it for billion other people than these people are morons and so full of them selfs.

    • Like... A hybrid of a man, snake, and goat. It was terrifying. You may laugh, but there was something horrible in his eyes.

        Satan looks like a beautiful angel bro. If he were trying to harm you he would pretend to be a good angel and make you believe in God but in a wrong way is my understanding

          Satan and demons can't physically harm you but they will try to make you sin. Pray to the lord for some protection and guidance if you need. And or go to a church and do the same thing or ask a preacher or priest about it

    I'd say normal I've has times where those dark thought come over before sleeping I don't like it don't quite understand it but it happens I wouldn't worry about it it's our own fears our own mind and imagination going here and there

    I'd say it's your imagination having free rain, when I try sleep at bought sometimes mind's eye runs wild.

    this might mean the universe is trying to tell you something...like...you MIGHT be going to hell. i dont really believe in God, but something like that can't be ignored.
