Wow!
Particularly marvelous because you are here to tell the tale, of course! As Satanus pointed out, many would refer to this as the biblical (g)od or Jesus... or, in your case of preventing an automobile collision, a "Guardian Angel".
I think it was this silent observer that stopped the physical me from going thru on a green light therefore avoiding an accident to me and my daughter. I think most people ignore the silent observer.
Something once pulled my mother physically off the road and away from a truck.
Something once pushed me off a woods trail at night. It turns out there was a rattler on that spot.
We all came from the I AM. To the I AM we shall return, when the time is right.
Daughter of Zion
Once precious princess
Left her father's house
To walk the streets that never rest
...............................................................
Frightened by her own shadow
Now she wants to go home
Many names for one God
Trotting on through the facade
You were all my children
Got a dig for that feeling
Love will break through the concealment
Strip away the serpents skin
We came to win
Dispatch the troops
Send out the captain
My gem is held captive in the dungeon
Don't come back again until you end the mission
If it takes a long time
Don't lose the vision
If you're stuck
Check the blueprint
Look within
Reflection
Got to find the rhythm

I am speechless and grateful for you and Loosie sharing your personal experiences, thank you!
This thread has taken a marvelously unexpected turn. Isn't it interesting how these experiences would be considered by most to be "supernatural", and yet... are they not simply natural rather than supernatural? Methinks there is so much more to nature than can be measured... yet.
Incidentally, something very akin to the meditative practice exists in Christianity as well, it is known by the term "Contemplative Prayer" and "Centering Prayer". St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila are famous mystics that practiced this and shared their insights. It has a long history in the monastic traditions.
Unfortunately, the West has forgotten this part of its spiritual heritage and now turns to the East for lessons.

Ha! Yes! We are going back to Melda's point... about folks being spiritual regardless of the religion they follow.
Which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
All mystics speak the same language for they come from the same country.
~Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin
We are the I AM.
Love to all,
Baba.
I'd like to share something that happened to me today. Here where I live, we have a long dry season, followed by a wet one. Where I live, it is relatively seclude, no neighbors, a lot of nature. I walked out alone shortly after sunset. Well, at that time, the first rains came in from the East. It hasn't rained here in months. To smell the rain coming, to see the dark clouds, to see the already set Sun's orange glow still reflected in the approaching thunderheads, to see the cooling breeze blow as I looked up through the newly green cypress trees, at the dark greys and reds, to hear all the different creatures waking up to the new season....was a deeply spiritual moment. I thanked God.
I can hear the rain patter as I write this.

You chose your words so well... I could see it and smell it. There is nothing like the smell of rain... especially when it has been so long awaited.
Spirit is in all... the rain-cloud sunsets, the coffee cups, the traffic lights, the garden slugs. Mundane occurances are full of spirit, if we just take the time to make our minds quiet...
I wish I could notice what this witness/observer/ID was trying to tell me more often. I can tell the difference between a gut feeling and this observer. But the observer doesn't come out very often.
I was trying to figure out what /who it was keepign me from going thru the green light. When I read the book " is there life after death" it made a lot of sense that it was a difference facet of myself, a higher self. I just didn't buy that it was a god in the clouds sitting on a golden throne watching the world go by.
It was very comforting to know there was someone else in my corner, looking out for my best interests, because if something happened to the physical me it would also happen to the observer. You can't get a better friend than that.
I just wish I could communicate with it more.

I know exactly what you mean. That is what meditation is ALL about.
It might sound a bit odd, but I can highly recommend a CD by Dr. Weil, of all people... this is a CD for physical health, but it guides you through a "mindfulness" meditation, and it is a very good start. It lets you know that it really IS easier to meditate than most folks think (when everyone thinks they must be doing something "wrong".)

As with most everything, the more you practice, the easier and more wonderful it will be.
Go for it! It is so worth it. Please keep me updated, I would love to hear your experiences.
ok I will check it out.
