Anyone here has experience on this?

[cesm23]

I mean, after i read this :

and

this :

http://www.stuartwildeblog.com/richard-tyler/2009/4/9/television-and-the-deadly-black-dust.html

I would ask to the experienced persons here that understand about these things, in which is the first step to start to get rid of all that "negativity" that we get by those means its said in there.

I am asking this because for many years my main hobbies are almost ALL related to violence somehow (video games, anime, tvshows and EVEN fetishes) but in "real" life i am a good person and care about others, altough i always had the problem with anger managment and getting offended real easy and get angry real easy even tough i have been working on that lately by being "aware" and i am starting slowly to control my anger but it seems something is hindering the process, it can only be all this violent stuff i enjoy. But what caused me to try to do this was specialy because i can't stand anymore the suffering i have from getting yelled constantly by other people and being really clumsly, short attention span and slow doing most things, etc because in the specific case of my boss it's completly useless to yell back at him, and ignoring him, well that's a LOT easier said than done, because i instantly get a "heat rise" inside of me, my face gets all red and i instantly feel a huge knot in my stomach and i get pulsating all over me, and this happens naturally even if i try to ignore.

Now that i want to start getting rid of those attachments and entities... what would be the first thing to do ? Maybe just meditation ? Anyways, i already tried a few times to completly stop watching all violent stuff on tv and stopping feeding the sexual desire but as it's obvious it didn't last long, as you can imagine for a person that did enjoyed these things for years, no matter how much "awareness" exercices i do to try to avoid the ego desires i still experience suffering (a lot more than when feeding the desires), and of course help from a professional healer to remove attachments and entities is out of the question since i can't afford one and specially in the place i live.

I really hope someone here has experience on these things because i am kinda lost here, because without all these hobbies, you know what i would be doing? Staring at walls all day... lool Yes because about tv, well it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to find a single tv show without any violence at all, it's just impossible unless i watch babytv or teletubbies (loool) and about video games... almost the same thing i would have to do drastic changes in my lifestyle and tastes to completly avoid violence stuff at all, is this really REALLy that bad as it says in those articles?? Because if is i think i will need serious help...

You mean you want to become a better doormat?

[cesm23]

What you mean?

I don't think any of those things are inherently bad in themselves, it's your association to them. And you seem to recognize that these things take too much of your attention. You don't have to drop any of them, but how you associate to them. Do they dictate your actions or do you choose?

First thing I would do is start reading at a time when you would normally be watching TV or playing a game. Spend 45 minutes or an hour a day reading. Sometimes this alone can spark something new, like a change in daily thinking. Meditation is another one you can do for just a few minutes a day that can make big impacts. Active hobbies, like art or music can be helpful. All of these things can help give you focus and direction and give life more purpose.

Instead of feeling like you need a break from modern media, use it as a break from the new things in your life. Those things will be more enjoyable like that and you won't feel like your consumed by them - you've created a new association to them. You might not even enjoy them anymore and move onto other things.

Well... i mostly reacted like that because of those articles about the ghouls and entities "feeding" of negative emotions, usually i use to trust what it's said on that blog, it doesn't seem to be false information to me, because before knowing that, i didn't had much problem liking what i like, by the contrary i DO like these hobbies i have but without attracting such entities, i am afraid of that already being happening all the time without me knowing that... do you think that such thing really happens or is just when we get obssessive about those things?

Do they dictate your actions or do you choose?

Well.. let's say it happens both things, sometimes it's one others is the other thing. By the way yes i am obssessive about some of those things but recently i am trying to be aware and i think i am at least avoid suffering, since about some of the things i use to suffer when not having. Maybe that thing of the entities only happens if we are obssessive about these things?

Wow it's almost as i guessed, because that's exactly the first thing i started to do after i read those articles, i mean, most of the times i used to watch a specific tvshow and which i was indeed having a kinda obssessive behavior (wrestling shows) now i COMPLETLY replaced that by reading ebooks from self help, you know, ebooks similar to these like "our ultimate destiny", "a new earth", etc and at least so far i have been able to handle it. But it's not the first time i do this, last time i tried this, i haven't started to read anything at all but watched other type of tvshows instead and about 2-3 weeks after i couldn't stand anymore the "obssession" spoke louder... let's hope this time it works better.

Hum... yes indeed... by the way why i often get hypnagogic imagery during meditation ? (it's always completly random stuff never related to what i was thinking before it happens) I mean sometimes i want to meditate and clear my mind but with this it's difficult and since hypnagogic imagery means nothing in terms of development i don't want having it hindering the training of having a clear mind. Unless this is normal to happen in meditation ?

Hum... i see thanks.

Because you are entering the trance state and hypnagogics are normal in trance.  Most people want to get them because it helps in developing clairvoyance.

(it's always completly random stuff never related to what i was thinking before it happens)

Yes, that's how they start.  Look into phasing, that's how you do it.

Clearing your mind is one of the objects of meditation, but the experience of nothingness is not the only object- clear focus is the tool you use.  The idea that hypnagogic imagery means nothing in terms of development is incorrect- it is an indication that you are being able to consciously witness what usually happens when you're unconscious, and practicing it on purpose is a tool to fine-tune your clairvoyance, because this is the way clairvoyance works.  And if it happens so much you may also be remote viewing, which is a good thing.  It shows some natural talent.

Well, yeah i indeed always had a strong desire to develop clairvoyance, if what you say is really true then as you can imagine this is a major boost to my motivation to keep practising this By the way i most say that i also got sounds as well, i also can actually hear voices (and yes i notice very well the difference between those and actual physical voices) sometimes, and also, very rarely actually feel like i am feeling 3d objects inside my mind, it's kinda difficult to explain, but it's been several months since that last happened unfortunately.

But wait a minute! It was precisely because a reply you posted to me in the past that i got the idea of hypnagogic meaning nothing in terms of development... check it out :

But now that i re-read it i might have misunderstood it at the time... isn't it ? At least when you talked "Most of what you see goes directly into your subconscious, without notice, and sometimes the things you don't think you've seen may have been seen and then forgot" this is specially what made me think that this wasn't development at all since i was just seeing stuff that i previouly seen with my physical eyes... Altough your reply this time was a more elucidative this time

Anyway i think that for my current level of development the best thing to do to develop clairvoyance is doing phasing, as you say ? You mean this : http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_the_astral_faq/what_is_phasing_and_how_can_i_do_it-t17413.0.html

Even tough that part of the 180 degrees is a bit confusing to me, unless that in the case of hypnagogic it's another method, if you know some simple and resumed technique tell me, if not then i will just read that one above better.


update : i have just read in "our ultimate reality" that the hypnagogic imagery is infact visions from the astral world and that they are a clear indication that we are very close to do a astral projection... the way he described the things, it's clearly the same i have, what you think of this? I ask this because this is incredibly confusing, everyone has a different oppinion about this i don't know in who to believe anymore...

[CFTraveler]

I will say what I said before (in the linked post) differently and maybe you'll see what I meant:

The hypnagogic state is the state in which your brain is firing images at you while you're still aware enough to see them.
Everything you see is from your memory.  This doesn't mean that it is only from your memory of things you saw while in-body, it also can be something you experienced with a subtle body- so the information is from many different sources, including what other people see, or what is happening physically somewhere else (remote viewing).
So in terms of development, the content of what you see can be 'last week's soda commercial' (in other words, crap)
Or something that is happening (or will happening) in a nonphysical plane that you are processing as images- the subconscious doesn't know the difference and processes it equally, and your job is to try to figure out a way to know when something is significant and when it is not.

What I was trying to convey previously, is that an image you get (or a voice, etc.) when in trance isn't necessarily something you should take seriously:  For example, if someone tells you "Go kill so-and so" chances are the message is a dud- or if an image shows you something ominous, it doesn't necessarily mean it's something 'precognitive', it can be symbolic and personal.
I occasionally channel info, and although sometimes the information has been undoubtedly significant, I have also channeled all kinds of meaningless crap, which is why it is very important to not get overly involved with what you get-
journal, document, look back and compare, and keep practicing.

But of course, just because something isn't spectacularly significant doesn't mean it has no value- after all, the image of last week's commercial did happen and I did see it.  I just don't have to attach meaning to it, as some people may want to.
So that's what I mean when I say it's not 'special' but it is 'significant'.

[cesm23]

Hum... i see, i just wanted to know if it has really significance to help developing clairvoyance or not that's all But so it seems it really does, at least i hope it does in my case

[CFTraveler]

I think it does.

[cesm23]

ok anyway still thanks for the explanations
