A kind gentleman I spoke with described the first Transcendental Meditation “advanced technique” as follows. Looking for other renegade instructions of similar advanced techniques. Say what you will about TM, it’s a decent technique. But charging $800 for this is wild:It's been about four years since I got taught it, and I stopped doing it after about two months because I wasn't getting anything out of it, unlike the mantra meditation which I've been doing daily for 6 years. So apologies if this isn't 100% accurate, but as I said it's actually comical what it is so I'm pretty sure I can remember it. You sit up in bed before you go to sleep. You close your eyes, and you "look" forward and try and focus your mind on a space in front of you (they said try and imagine that space in front of you is an arms length away). And you just focus your mind on that space in front for between 10 or 20 minutes, until you feel yourself getting pulled into sleep. A bit like the mantra, when you feel your mind getting taken away from the focus of in front of you, bring your mind back to it. Then, you lie back down and fall asleep. They made a big deal of not opening your eyes again. They said if you open your eyes again it won't work. The idea is that whatever that technique does infuses your sleep with transcendental consciousness and improves the TM mantra stuff you've been doing earlier on in the day. So, basically I paid £400 to be told to sit up in bed and "look" forward. That's it. Whether it works or not I have no idea as it slipped out of my routine really quickly. But maybe it will do something for you, who knows. As I said, maybe I've forgotten to mention something but I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it.
What is this drivel
>>42253282Interesting and thanks for posting. I think keeping your eyes closed activates the Oneirophrenic part of the brain that ibogaine works on and allows dreaming, different than classic serotonin based psychedelics

>>42253282Mahesh was trying to popularize atma vichara. Why not just practice atma vichara?
>>42253282its sad watching people feel the need to try all this tricks to simulate making progress instead of just cultivating the fundamentals that actually imbue progress
>>42256155You sound so fucking gay holy shit.
>>42256996theres just no need to pay attention to the sceneryyou're just playing around imagining signals well beneath the noise floor otherwisemethods such as what op suggests should have the fundamentals stressed as part of the information, otherwise its just irresponsibleyou have to balance the methodsits better to establish a downward flow before raising energy esp in the headlearn to return the energy to the gut first before doing stuff like thisestablish the internal centers first, lower then upperprovide a basis for working with external energy centersthis aint kid shit, one should not take these cautions lightlyin matters of spiritual practices it does not behoove one to rush ahead too quickly
