Reply #17: It happened to me this weekend

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I was driving back to Arkansas from Illinois. I went into a meditative state, as I have found this generally helps improve gas mileage. What I noticed was that the cars around me appeared to be going slower than I was, even those that passed me! I checked my speedometer, and I was always within 5 miles of the speed limit (usually 5 mph less, though I did get going fast when going downhill). I got back home an hour early. I know I wasn't speeding, not only because of checking my speedometer but because I wasn't stopped by the four cops I saw on my way home.

Another phenomenae that has happened is that I have felt a wall of light around my vehicle. And once, while doing zkr (a meditative practice), I saw a truck coming downhill, out of control, in my lane (a two lane highway on a winding mountain road). About four feet away, the truck appeared to "bounce" off an invisible something and get back in its lane. That was when I realized the light field that can appear around vehicles.
