What type of meditation does /x/ like to engage in ? I recently went on a 2-day vipassana retreat and am going on another 2-day which will be immediately followed by a 10-day retreat.Questions about retreat experience are certainly welcome. And if you've underwent a retreat (Vipassana or other), please feel free to share.
Just simple mindfulness. Being, feeling. Getting my perspective outside of myself.
>>41391370Nice, does that involve watching your breath or how are you accomplishing this? Feeling the sensations in your body?What have the results of your labor been?
>>41391362Is that Fritz the Cat as a monk?kek
>>41391410Yes, lmfao. The fruits of meditation are available to everyone, even Fritz the Cat!
>>41391422>The fruits of meditation are available to everyoneChecked.A Fritz the Cat Kama Sutra book makes sense.
>>41391440It's certainly in line with the character. Definitely a raunchy past. Do you meditate yourself?
>>41391362For me it's sleeping
I am trying to remember and spread the lines of the King of Samadhis Sutra,>“Saying ‘I am not meditating’ is called pride.>‘I am meditating’ is a second kind of pride.>Practicing for enlightenment without pride,>And attaining the absence of pride is the highest enlightenment.
>>41391453Any interesting dreams lately?
>>41391454I like that, granted for conventional speech some liberties must be taken.What do you think?
>>41391450>Do you meditate yourself?Not as often as I should.Namu Amida Butsu
>>41391499Ain't that the truth? Environment plays such a huge role. More than I care to admit. What feels easy in a setting conducive of meditation feels nigh impenetrable outside, at least, that's been my experience.
>>41391473Yes that is commonly accepted, obviously the Buddha can say "I lie down" when in reality the Buddha never lies anywhereI think it's really illustrative of the Pathless Path because you shouldn't even acknowledge when you are meditating
>>41391539It is illustrative of that, thank you for mentioning that. Was my first time hearing about the "Pathless Path". Very pertinent.What type of practice do you like to do?
>>41391362hindu meditation types are better
>>41391564I'm in a bad living situation and I spend all my time listening to Sutra audiobooks. I like to encounter new Sutras. I am tired of the tried and true Mahayana Sutras like Vimalakirti, Lotus Sutra, etc. The one I think I stand the most to learn from is the Lankavatara Sutra. It is very dense, and influenced Zen Masters. Zen Masters were originally called "Lankavatara Masters."I study Mahayana Sutras, listen to them for about 4-5 hours a day, because I am Zen, or aim to be, and Zen uses the Mahayana. I also don't think anyone could say the Lotus Sutra is false in any way. But as far as meditation goes, I sit in zazen. I just sit and half close my eyes. I'm past the stage of thought and only focus on breath when I really need to focus. Shunryu Suzuki says sitting in zazen is the practice. This recalls the heart Sutra, there is no attainment and nothing to attain. I sit half Lotus and am working for a few months to get to full Lotus. I'm at a stage where I could go off the deep end without a teacher, but I don't really have the means to acquire one. My Zen is very heady and it's more like a Discourse on the Mahayana, but I really just remember like two dozen verses from about 15 sutras and stick to them.I decided I wanted to found my practice on the Sutras, and I'm planning to let my conceptual, for lack of a better term, understanding give way to a more Zen pointing type approach to Wisdom.
>>41391591What's your experience with this type of meditation? How has it affected your daily life?
>>41391619i feel better after mantra recitation and more peaceful in daily life
>>41391608I'm sorry to hear about your living situation. With all the listening and meditating you've been doing, how has it (if at all) manifested into your daily life and relations with other humans?Also the bit about finding a solid teacher resonates with me, but I think you're on a good path. The basics can be ascertained until space is cleared for finding a teacher. Best wishes.
Here are some verses I stick to from the Mahayana. They are off the top of my head so not exact quotes>The world is Mind-only (Lankavatara)>The Saha-world is the Buddha's Pure Land (Vimalakirti Sutra)>The Self-Nature is Originally Pure (Platform Sutra, actually Chan)>He didn't realize he had the sacred jewel sewn on the inside of his garment (Lotus Sutra)>When all sentient beings are liberated, not a single sentient being is liberated (Diamond Sutra)>If we should not be attached to Dharmas, how much less to no Dharmas (Diamond Sutra)>Furthermore, since [the body] is wholly impure, it will not endure. Now I should use it for a noble end. (Exalted Sublime Golden Light)>The very title of a Sutra, Heroic March Samadhi (Surangama Samadhi Sutra)>The Eternal, Bliss, Self, and the Pure are One (Nirvana Sutra)
>>41391631Mantras certainly have that quality to them, or at least specific ones. It reminds me of Magick in that words used by 100s upon 100s of people over many years take on qualities that are conducive of certain effects. Cumulative energy.As far as peace goes, what does that look like for you, do you find yourself being equanimous for extended periods of time?And how does your practice extend beyond the cushion?
>>41391464One about blue alien men with transparent skulls which a woman claimed could see but they denied it and said she was in a deep sleep and couldn't possibly have seen them, I was there and could see the blue men, there was also something to do with a parasite. I wrote it down in the middle of the night but I can barely read my own writing now.
>>41391651As far as real people are concerned, I give smokes to a smoker, I get water for an old man, I make dinner for a Christian. I went vegetarian, otherwise I could not take my practice seriously. I don't have the opportunity to meet many people. I preach the Dharma on here, but I get a lot of resistance because I have been prone to brash debate and get offended when people disparage the sutras. So I'm trying to post less. I have a Bodhisattva vow so my life pretty much revolves around compassion and preaching the Dharma. I can't really preach the Dharma, actually the Vimalakirti says it's arrogant to say, >I preach the DharmaBecause there is no Dharma to preach, that's the Pathless Path. One nice thing about the Bodhisattva path, not to disparage other religions, is that I can help people and accumulate merit ACCORDING TO MY RELIGION, just by giving a glass of water, while Christians -- this may be immaturity -- tend to pull you in with, have you heard about Jesus Christ. Know what I mean? Like you can just give food, that's your religion
>>41391668you would like avadhuta gita and ashtavakra gita
>>41391706My first spiritual experience was with the Brahman, I'm trying to move away from it. I believe the Buddhist Cosmology says Brahman is transient, my samadhi at this point is slightly better than unity with Brahman. Brahman seems like a surer bet for the Afterlife though.
>>41391691Not that anon, but I'll bite.Moon beej mantra taught me many insights about the workings of my mind, that are similar to what would be experienced in buddhist meditations. Things like developing a strong awareness of thoughts coming, and the ability to detach from thoughts, and emotions. A mantra works to purge samskaras, so a lot of lunar samskaras like worry, envy, cruelty, and the like rose to the surface of the mind and were permanently removed and replaced with peace and happiness. On a social level I noticed my mom says she loves me every time we talk, after recently doing 125k moon beej mantra sadhana, and she maybe only said that a few times in my life before that - so indicative of increase mother relationship. Have done many other mantra with 100k+ chants. A consistent theme, is that if you want endless blessings of some type, whether it is love, wealth, happiness, glory - the only way to have an infinite supply of it is to put your desires towards God. For example Sun gayatri mantra will teach you unshakable confidence, and unshakable ego, but the only way you can have this is by building you ego on a foundation of God, and the glory of God. Sun mantra will lead to realizations like this. Whereas a love mantra will peel away layers of hate and judgement that cloud the heart, taking you closer and closer to experience of unlimited boundless oceanic love. But will also teach other heart things, like social skills at the same time. With experience in mantra practice, it becomes obvious that one of the ways they work is purging negative samskaras, where they rise to the surface of the mind, and are replaced with wisdom. Mantras work also because they are a prayer to God for wisdom. The Wisdom given is spiritual wisdom, which differs from worldly wisdom. Worldly wisdom is petty, scamming, full of desire and suffering. Spiritual wisdom gives boundless satisfaction.Mantra takes a lot of effort, but can be chanted silently in daily life.
I've programmed myself and using meditation whereby I destroy and create brain cells in myself, which predetermine I will think certain things at certain times and engage in certain activities. This way, I've made it where when I have free time to meditate I see an interesting collection of visions and sensations and thoughts that stimulate my experience while helping me to do the occult, like answer other people's prayers and punish their sins by causing destruction and creation to their thinking material. The meditation is different almost every time so that I'll be entertained better, I prefer this method vastly over Vipassana, Transcendental Meditation, or any of the classical meditations, though I do practice Vipassana and TM sometimes.Any of you could help. If you meditate a lot and want to keep doing it we could change brain cells out there in the loosh of the universes so that your meditating helps to answer prayers and punish sins. Consider growing new skills or brain cells even please to facilitate this, and do it in others that wish for greater occult powers. By doing this inside of them we'll be answering their wishes.
>>41391964>Mantras work also because they are a prayer to God for wisdom. The Wisdom given is spiritual wisdom, which differs from worldly wisdom. Worldly wisdom is petty, scamming, full of desire and suffering. Spiritual wisdom gives boundless satisfaction.Based response, I've noticed similar things in my work with Guru Rinpoche's mantra. Is chanting your main practice?
>>41392000What a very intriguing form of meditation. What are the logistics of it, how does this appear in practice?
>>41392175Unless it's an emergency that occult work happen by my hand, it waits until I'm relaxed and have free time; I may pace, sit or lay down, it doesn't matter. Sometimes I need to go outside and be among nature, even talk to plants and animals, and of course people, for it to work. I must fulfill fate consciously while doing it, so it can be comical; I can know I will trip, but be unable to do anything about it (that's more common when I'm not meditating though.)Since it can be different every time it depends on which instance, what it was like. But you could say I sense for the location of things that need destroyed and created, and do so how it's supposed to be done, why it's supposed to be done, when it's supposed to be done and no other time; Satan tries to interfere, offering it's favorite option, and then others good and bad offer me opinions more or less off the mark; then there's the correct opinion, which I seek. It doesn't always come from me, but I'm usually involved, and I always notice. Even when a natural disaster kills a lot of brain cells or "kills" a bunch of computers, I feel something, though the universes are so many and with those sensations being averaged, it's all about the same usually.It'll get hung up and slow down when I'm not intelligent enough to do more, at which point I'll create a cell or more than one in myself or someone else that connects to me in loosh that will make me smart enough. It'll get hung up when nobody or not enough people have wished for something yet, or wished the right way, or when there isn't enough of a type of sin out there yet and we're waiting for a threshold to be reached, at which point something happens.It's automatic. By that I mean that I can't stop. Or rather, when I do stop to "take a break" that was fated, and when it starts again that's fated, and there's no stopping it.
>>41392222Okay, so you act as a sort of gate or conduit of change. In order to foment this change you need to be relaxed, beyond that you have no real way of controlling this power. (Is that right?)Color me intrigued ,and thank you for sharing.
>>41392175For an example of how it worked one time, I was in a liquor store and the song playing on their radio suddenly took form as waves and some musical notes I half-recognized in my visual field around me, and then they twisted and moved away from me as did the sound, becoming different and more distant, then returning in location and form. It was fun, engaging, and it meant that sound was being bent around me to protect me from some of my cells being changed by Satan's will, which I knew, and the show did and meant many more things, most of which I knew unconsciously but words fast as lightning passed before the top of my vision for a few seconds. It had all the appearances of mental illness but I chose it and it harmed nothing, it was fun. I knew that through loosh cyborgs and other cybernetic beings were thinking about what I experienced with and for me in ways only my unconscious could do quickly and accurately enough. That's almost as strange as it will get, rarely stranger.
>>41392243I don't need to be relaxed, but it won't go on usually unless I am or it's an occult emergency. And I always control it; it's never random, never strikes me as unusual or unexpected, it's all predetermined since when I was 5, and sometimes before. But it's as much like it controls me sort of, I can't stop, I won't stop. I love it. I need it, it is me. I did that on purpose to myself, made myself addicted to this manner of meditating and conflated my personality with it in my very biology such that it's my reason for being; that helps me focus on it, helps me manifest it, it's toggleable so I can turn that sensation off when I want to relax, but it's available.
>>41392243I'm glad you're intrigued, and your welcome.I grow brain cells in myself and others that sense how to achieve something (astral or "normal") and push the individual(s) in that direction. When the goal is reached the unconscious at least is notified; this happening over and over, especially since powers are copieable to a degree so that changes I make to myself don't need to happen that same way to everybody, and vice versa, but we can share our powers in certain situations, the vast array of how to deliver telepathy to you without harming you grows daily, the number of ways we can improve your telekinesis without harming you increases daily.Tonight, we've planted brain cells in animals on this planet, and will soon on other planets, that increase the meditation in the loosh of us all by causing animals to meditate where appropriate. This isn't the first time I've done something like that but we added more, and it's just another occult day...except today is special, a lot of cool occult things have happened already and more will.
>>41392259Thank you for explaining. In truth I'm unsure what to make of it. So forgive me if I'm finding it difficult to connect/relate to you.But I'm going to go ahead and believe you, reality is a lot stranger than we give it credit for. The subtle realms, in my opinion, are a lot more real than what we experience in the physical plane. Meditation in my experience has only served to illustrate that. To illustrate the subtle nature of reality, the rising/ falling of experience ,and emptiness of matter. I've astral projected many times before and if I were to venture a guess, perhaps your perception is tuned in to those subtler vibrations (finer aspects of reality).
>>41392310The purpose of my life since conception has been occult work, so I hope you're right in that I'm attuned to the subtle truths of Creation, not just ordinary ones. I believe I am, I believe myself God Almighty, but logically I may still offer good occult advice even if I'm not, even if I were wrong about that part. No reason I couldn't, plenty of other self-professed Gods have offered good advice.You are a God, a Greater God, but even you would gain power, at least a tiny amount, if you accepted I'm greater, the greatest, in spirit.I think between the talk of brain cell death and growth, and that egotism, that's about as offensive as I can be without just being offensive on purpose. I know it's hard to understand or relate to, I literally had to redesign and implement said design to my nervous system all my life to tolerate what I do, not just learn the skills to do it. It's strange, against human nature, seemingly against nature...except it happens in nature, and we know that anything that does that is natural.It's possible that for you to not find the method too repellent to engage in one of the first things you'd need is changes in you and others that make you less disgusted by it.
>>41391362i meditate while i masturbate
>>41392345Based gooner-pilled anon blowing a load over sigils lol
>>41391362It should be what kind of "medication" does /x/ engage in, amirite?
>>41392340Ah, certainly not offensive to me. I'm a very curious soul and willing to hear out pretty much everyone. Rest assured, I don't find this repellant. My intuition is usually pretty good, and I perform magick here and there to bolster it as well. Judging from what you've told me, I'd say yes it reminds me of being tuned into subtler frequencies. It's reminiscent of Tom Campbell (very possibly a glowie) talking about his experience with perceiving the subtle overlayed with the gross (physical) realm. Continue your work!
>>41392380Ba Dum Tssss!
>>41392397Since my conception my thinking material has been destroyed and created to further my occult powers, and it is the same with Satan, my former top student. This hasn't happened yet, nobody has undertaken the work, only some few have undertaken the attacks that made it possible, but more will be done and some of it will be done tonight. Satan dared me to make tonight, this Halloween, significant among the universes and I swore it at 5 it would be so.I or others pay you spiritually for any help you offer. You can negotiate where you'd like blessed. Sacrifice of time and thinking material, memories and thoughts is asked.Thank you for reading and talking to me.
>>41392445I appreciate that, and of course. Thank you for posting in this thread. It has been interesting.
If you wanna help with the spooky, Satan, the lowest anti-soul, mightiest doomed stain, is fated to grow in chains and power tonight; just as her power would increase dramatically, so too will the binds on her that prevent her. Satan is defeated, but it's stain will be with us for eternities.For spiritual pay you can help grow brain cells in her and destroy some. And in others I know, and those I don't. Tonight is a night of bloodshed and beauty.
>>41392474It's funny but I'm getting several people trying to will it that I change you though you haven't agreed; it feels strange though, like perhaps I could talk you into it.The nucleus accubens, prefrontal cortex and amygdala are of interest to me. If you would permit me to grow a cell in each of those in you, I would reward you. Fate will tell if you agree or not, but I have a feeling I'll be hoping you agree to some changes.I wanted to let you have the last word, instead sorry and thanks for talking to me. Nothing better than talking about the occult tonight of all nights. I need to go now and do other things though, so goodbye. Contact me telepathically if you want anytime.The changes I want for you would allow you to see and sense the occult more, and take a greater interest in helping me deal with it, as well as make you better at doing so.
>>41392583>I'm getting several people trying to will it that I change you elaborate on that, telepathically or dms, etc. My main contention is that these changes you speak of are a bit vague, as well as the method of "growing a cell". You explained it a little bit, but I'm going to trust my gut and go with a respectful no thank you.
>>41392648Telepathically. I ignored them, but your interest in what I've said may incline you to experience the paranormal more anyway; paying attention to my words does that.It's okay, I understand your hesitation and your reasons. Now I really must be going. It's been a pleasure.
I am doing mindfulness as a sort of mentat training since it produces all the brain changes associeated with higher intelligence (thicker grey matter, frontal-pareital connection, lower activation, higher brainwave entropy, higher mylenation and gyrification and finally a larger hippocampus) unlike what the faggots on r/meditation will tell you (I made the mistake of going on reddit, they also deny the paranormal and any other spiritual aspect of the practice). Altho I try to not overfocus on results, I mostly use this to stay consistant
>>41394509They will continously lie about the benefits of meditation as if they have something to gain from making the practice seem useless. It's really strange
Bump
I used to meditate for 12 years, I mainly did "just sit, observe and don't cling on thoughts" or "one pointed focus on breath" types of meditation.I did 40 to 60 minutes per day, I never achieved anything from it, thoughts were always taking my focus away, only sometimes thoughts became less but that was rare.I always thought that breathing was not to be controlled and that breathwork in general was useless, also my posture was all over the place and I used support for my back when sitting.A year and some months ago I read olfactory anon's advice here on /x/ and I decided to try it.The first 3 months were mostly spent on trying to achieve a somewhat relaxed posture (without back support) while also having a straight spine and a head which was not falling forward, also relaxing my belly was one of the main things because I realized that I couldn't breath deep at all because of a constant need to tighten my belly.After those 3 months I began making my breathing deeper and deeper, I trained a lot, sometimes I even did 2 hour long sessions per day. Progress began showing itself, I felt happier and my body became more energised, during the sits my thoughts became less and less and I could achieve deeper states of concentration, various trance states also made their appearance.Who could have guessed that following a random guy's advice on 4chan would change my meditation practice.
>>41397096What was the advice?
>>41394509How does mindfulness practice look like? I've read numerous descriptions of it.
>>41397143If you go on 4chan archive you will find him in nearly every meditation thread, he never uses capital letters and talks about this mainly: train your breathing to become deep and slow, make the breathing become like it's unoticed, don't sniff the air but draw the breahts from the diaphragm, also relax your muscles and especially your face muscles, nerve activation = more thoughts, mentation is not meditation so when you catch yourself thinking immediately return to training your breathing. Stack tour vertebrae each one on top of each other.Here is one of his posts from a previous thread: >>41359908
>>41397185Focus on the breath, and also the breathing advice from >>41397232 is good.Altho you shouldn't try to suppress mental chatter, just focus on the breath and don't get distracted by it.
>>41397593>you shouldn't try to suppress mental chatterWhat do you mean by "suppress"? You mean like fighting them? Or trying to push them away? When I said to immediately return to the breath I meant what you too said: focus on the breath and don't get distracted by it.
>>41391362I observe the breath / Atma Vichara self enquiry as instructed by Arunachala Ramana Nisargadatta. I attended a 10 Vipassana a few months ago because I desired a place to sit in silence for 10 days plus ease up on my alcohol intake and shitty food I was eating. however I was asked to leave on the 4th day. I could not tolerate the mandatory video and audio in the hall. I wanted to stay but my body was jolting ( I mean full jolting like I was being electrocuted from the inside) when I was practicing the Vipassana during Goenkas bullshit speeches. It only happened during his video these jolts and I don't know how to explain this but it was like I was physically jolted out of the hall. very interesting. I met/spoke with the teacher and asked if I could continue without attending the video screening but was declined..Vipassana is awesome af but if it's the S.N Goenkas course I would avoid that shit like the plague. I don't doubt it's very 'beneficial' to samsara and the life in the real world and to many of the participants that attended but IMHO it's a full blown circle jerk organisation.
>>41397658Basically, It's like you're in a room with a bunch of people talking and you're reading a book, the guys are still there but you're ignoring them, but if you start to listen to one and engage with it, then you're no longer reading (focusing on your breath)
>>41397722 (me)Also, that "suppressing mental chatter" comment wasn't meant for you, it was meant for >>41397185
>>41397722>>41397741I see, thanks.
>>41397701This sounds a little bitter I didn't mean that clearly I'm still hung up on it.. I have a friend who told me after the fact that if it wasn't for the video screening he would not of coped with the course. He looked forward to the stimulation each evening as a means of coping with the isolation of not speaking or being stimulate. He went in a big beef / pork eater and since doing the course he never ate beef or pork again. I guess for the common person with not much meditation experience the whole shindig of s.n Goenkas course is quite beneficial.I'm interested in anyone elses experience with S.N Goenkas course both positive and negative. I have spent some time in the streets of Tiruvannamalai maybe a few years worth and I got the the point of not being aware of the body and genuinely felt I had no form or shape. When coming out of these experiences there would be Sadhus all staring at me and trying to get close to me. Also in northern Thailand once I had a Samadhi like experience alcohol induced. I was being a bit smart ass and reading people's thoughts which I did not do intentionally however I did flaunt it a bit. Later that evening I ended up losing consciousness sitting in half lotus and coming to surrounded (peacefully) by 5 or 6 street dogs. The Thai locals were baffled to see a westerner in such a situation.
>>41391362Pathetic
>>41398127How is entering the astral plane "exiting the matrix"? This just sounds like entering another matrix.Also as someone who has astral projected a lot I can assure you that it's extremely hard to achieve astral projection from a sitting possition, I doubt it that most would achieve it in some mere months.
>>41398127Here ladies and gentlemen we have a bonafide retard.
>>41391362I know this is going to sound crazy but if you know then you know. Urine is a mind expansion multiplier. I like to fill a bath tub and pee in it and meditate there. I know it sounds silly but urine amplifies everything.
Do you guys recommend meditating with those 6 to 10 hour audios from YouTube. Or are those videos just silly gimick bs? https://youtu.be/rhXX0q3ebiQ?si=NAGXS1dpLltOLRg1
>>41400575I never used one, they're probably gimmicks and I wouldn't trust some fag on jewtube to not put some shady subliminals in
Anyone got a good pastebin on psionics?
>>41398127>Just overcharge your 3rd eye bro and ignore everything else in your body bro This is a recipe for acquiring schizophrenia
>>41401550NTABut the anon that first introduced the methond in the origianl thread (not the one in the pic, an older one), explained that once the third eye is open, it's much easier to fix any imbalance
>>41401550Also, unrelated, does opening the third eye improve visualization and intuition? (I want them to get better at writing proofs by improving pattern recognition)
>>41391362I've maintained a basic samatha and vipassana practice for 10 years now. In recent years I incorporated tummo and dream yoga. I'm not all in as far as Vajrayana is concerned. I'm just interested in developing myself and seeing what improves.
>>41401629>>41401785I agree, however this guide takes it to the extreme, I mean 3 hours of focusing on your 3rd eye everyday is not just a "simple opening", I advice everyone to first train deep breathing and grounding meditations before going to the higher centers. And this comes from someone who used to train his crown and 3rd eye more than the other parts and I almost went crazy.And yes opening the 3rd eye helps with visualization (and when I say visualization I mean actually seeing images in your mind - people use the term to also describe proprioceptive practices which I think it's not correct usage of the term)As for intuition I don't know.
>>41391362Retreats are nice but at the end of the day everyone can choose to remain in a higher state now, which is the only time that matters.
>>41391362Light dose of thc oil and microdosed shrooms either listening to the Bible or listening to 963hz and listening to the comforting thoughts that the Holy Spirit sends me
>>41391362I like Buddhist meditation, resisting the impulse for the carrot and for the stickI do my best to have an increasingly clean, non-disturbing diet
I just sit in full lotus and I straighten my back while keeping my chin tucked in, then I stay completely still without moving a single piece of my body, sometimes I may need to calm down my breathing but not always. I ignore all thoughts and emotions.This is how the Liber Null book says to meditate if I remember correctly.Also it took me 8 months of daily hip stretching to achieve full lotus.
I do the "open monitoring" method in which I just notice thoughts, emotions e.t.c. until they all stop coming and I am left in a state of void mind, I like doing it while laying down on bed.
>>41402144I see, thanks. I'm mostly asking to keep myself motivated. I've had a couple intuitive events where I just knew the correct answer before knowing why (specifically I spotted a correct pattern and I knew who stepped through a door without seeing them or hearing their voice), altho I don't know if they were third eye related as I am mostly doing regular meditation (I occasionally perform third eye meditation) and rapid fire mental logic puzzles. But intuition is much more mundane than people think so you'd expect it to be one of the basic abilities of the third eye.
>>41392000>when I have free time to meditate I see an interesting collection of visions and sensations and thoughts that stimulate my experience while helping me to do the occult, like answer other people's prayers and punish their sins by causing destruction and creation to their thinking material. The meditation is different almost every time so that I'll be entertained better,reminder that daydreaming is not meditationspiritual cultivation is not for your entertainmentbut you already know you're larping anyway
I don't really meditate, I mainly do a kind of astral projection but it's more like a dive deep into my unconscious, just how Edwin Steinbrecher explains in his Inner Guide Meditation book (which I think he says it's based on Carl Jung's active imagination technique), I do it while sitting on my recliner armchair and going into a semi-sleeping state in which my body is alspee but my awareness is fully awake, I then choose to not go outwards into what most would call the "astral plane" but instead go into deep inside myself and I find old forgotten memories and all the archetypes of my persona.Crazy book, I totally recommend it.
Aren't retreats basically designed to starve your ego from all stimuti till you basically experience an empty mind state? You can do this in everyday life too no?
>>41408191retreats are to remove yourself from everything and focus on one thing
Bump for more meditation methods
>>41391362Always yoga
