my point in bringing up hallucinations are a common human experience which directly challenge the concept of an objective reality, and as floating keeps reiterated with out enough notice, is that current science largely agrees and predicts things far more surreal than any mystic or psychedelic. Quote:
I'd say that is the truest wisdom. The less you know, the better you off you become. Human life is an experience, not a recapitulation of assumptions. I stick to my statement. Reality is not objective, so it it being the figment of individual and mutually agreed imagination, then of course something like astral projection is easily possible. Again, if we are projecting our consciousness into our bodies where and as they 'exist' currently, why not be able to project consciousness elsewhere? And I agree with Floating, in the INFINITE universe, EVERYTHING is possible. It is not a matter of "If" it is a matter of "when"

It's a very good way of describing it. Floatingslowly, beautiful words. I believe I've had very intense out of body experiences without the use of drugs using solely meditation. It's amazing what your mind can do for your body. Since gaining some sort of peace within my own head, I've been able to use meditation as my 'daily drug' and it's a wonderful thing really. I focus less on astral projection in my meditations sober now than when having psychedelic experiences. ' I find the concept of focusing my energy towards peace and contentment during meditation to be very rewarding. I can lower my blood pressure and relieve anxiety with little effort. It's worth looking into, ni'k. It's a head space I feel you'd like, from our conversations. You're an incredibly intelligent person. The universe is yours.

Interesting look on things, Rob. I often feel as though my meditations bring me to a somewhat spiritual nirvana.

my problem is that i have meditated before and expierienced massive difficulties arising from it, or at least from what i believed was going on at the time, but that's way too deep to go into now. i have been trying again recently more just to relax. i did relaxation therapy once and achieved a similar state to when i first meditated, it was great, afterwards i was lying on a sofa curling up and moaning like a cat ha. it felt better than weed. i havent been able to do it the same since because i did it with an instructor, but i might try to find some audiobooks of it online and do it again. it was basically lying on your back with your eyes closed listening to cheesy music while the instructor told you to stretch each part of your body and hold it till (which was very tense and painful) and then release it. afterwards it really did feel like the a good version of being stoned. altho the second time i tried it it wasn't as good. there is a lot in this thread and the pm's from it that i have to read and go through more thoroughly but when i do i'll post about it again. |

I would like to reiterate that I do not claim to posssess the key to astral projection, nor do I think that anyone should try it.
it's simply that, once you start thinking of things as being "impossible", you've relegated yourself to history's dead-weight. the universe is a beautiful place, full of unseen things that simply need finding. science and rationality should be used as tools, not crutches. |

This is the central essence of Brahmanism and Vedic Hinduism, and also the very reason which I meditate/pray/vision quest/eat mushrooms "We cannot borrow God.. We must effect His new incarnation from within ourselves. Divinity must descend, somehow, into the matter of our own existence and participate in this peculiar life-process.. The chief aim then of Indian thought is to unveil and integrate into consciousness what has thus been resisted and hidden by the forces of life and the supreme and characteristic achievement of the Brahman mind was its discovery of the Self (atman) as an independent, imperishable entity, underlying the conscious personality and bodily frame. Everything we normally know and express belongs to a sphere of change, the sphere of time and space, but this Self (atman) is forever changeless, beyond measure, beyond space and the veiling net of causality.." Heinrich Zimmer Quote:
yr just moving to fast. the cosmic change of meditation takes a LIFETIME to "unveil and integrate" heightened spiritual awareness into the plane of our everyda so-called reality. Revelation comes in microseconds, the other millions of seconds fly by rather uneventful, but the the Epiphany of Eternity, while brief, transcends the limits of time. If you want to interconnect with Eternity, you are going to have slow down my brother. take yr time

if I did, not only would I ignore you, I would never offer to explain anything further. it's not rocket surgery, but interest often leads toward comprehension. there are plenty of people who are smarter than I am, who don't give a flying fuck about this stuff. I accept that and move on. I believe strongly in certain types of paranormal events, but believe that they are only "paranormal" because they are so poorly understood. Quote:
as I mentioned earlier, current quantum science requires "at least" 10 nearby dimensions. this is the minimum number, but it's suspected that the number is quite larger [inf.]. the fabric of space-time (which separates these dimensions) is thin, but extremely resilient. it will bend, sag and warp but rarely ever breaks. it is penetrated directly only by gravity and the smallest of particles (sub-Plank length). gravity is caused by the "well" that each bit of matter creates. the more mass, the deeper the well and the greater chance for passing objects to "fall in". it is this warping of space, along with motion (you are currently moving at around 220 km/s along the galactic spur), that causes the perception of time. Hawking radiation aka "Bekenstein-Hawking radiation" is an attempt to give black holes entropy (meaning, they're trying to explain why black holes don't gobble up the entire universe before disappearing). Hawking's calculations for the release of "quantum gravity" require that the exiting particles fall below the Planck length before entering the event horizon. THE PROBLEM: there is a point near the event horizon where time stops. an exiting particle of finite frequency would, at this point near the horizon, have infinite frequency and a wavelength greater than the Plank length. MYTH: BUSTED so, the "problem" is, you see, black holes DO NOT decay. all currently observed radiation has been from highly charged particles that barely escape the gravity well. >>>>>>NOTHING GETS OUT<<<<<<
all black holes will "keep eating" until they reach the point where their total accretion rips open space-time and "burps" the compressed mass into a nearby (and virgin) universe. this process continues back and forth, through "time", infinitely. let there be light, my friend. |

every flight needs one when you fly long-haul.
many thanks and a thousand apologies to you, my constant friend. you have sat through (glazed over) more nut-job rants than should be allowed. and yes, I suppose I just gave Pookie page 1. |
