Does being concious when im falling asleep have anything to do with anything?? I did it once a while ago and it freaked me out. My mind started going blank and before i knew it, i was parylyzed. I couldn't move, but as soon as i realized i was falling asleep, i moved and woke up.

Welcome back! [8D]

do you just want to do it for the experience, or for the result? if you are looking for a result, the simple ones won't be worth it. the effects from them are too easy to prove came about from other factors.

but the more "non-simple" ones, where you could get a strong effect, aren't as simple, eh? []

here's one:
---
gather some energy in your hands, it shouldn't be a huge amount, it should be an amount that is easy for you to control and manipulate. form it into the shape of your brain. instill in it the idea of it being able to remember everything it ever ... touches (or choose a different sense).

while still holding it in your hands, connect that energy with the energy in your mind. then refine the energy in your hands so that it feels "in-synch" with your mind, as though it were naturally a part of your mind rather than just programmed energy. now direct the energy in your hands to move as a whole (keep the shape) to your mind, and get the energy to integrate itself completely into your mind while at the same time (not before, and not after) directing the programming in the energy to integrate with the natural programming of your mind.

then reinforce the programming that you just integrated so that it sticks out a fair bit more in your mind's eye than your mind's natural programming, but not so much that it completely overshadows the natural programming. and make sure that your mind accepts the programming as being permanent, rather than just short term.

i have not tried this, so get back to us with the results. also, you'll probably want to do other things with the new program, like programming your own way to recall the information stored, as well as permanently setting aside a portion of your active brainpower towards storing all that information for later recall.

that "for later recall" is kind of important, by the way. other wise your mind might just store info without giving you a way of being able to access it.

as well, please don't expect it to store absolutely everything. especially not forever. it will overwrite itself when it needs to.

I know exactly what you are talking about. This is something in the eyes that you've had from birth. Everyone does. My eye doctor said it was something that everyone needs for some reason (I forget why) until their eyes develop. I asked him because I was curious myself. The things you are seeing are on the inside of your eyeballs. If you notice a significant accumulation of them, go see an eyedoctor. Otherwise, they are harmless and everyone has them.

Kinda depends. I always have closed captions on because I can't hear them in the first place [xx(] I'm not deaf, and don't need a hearing aid...anyways

Sometimes it seems that you can just tell what the people on TV are saying. I don't have much of an explanation for this, except that when you usually pass by the tv rom, you are used to hearing sound, so you've grown accustomed to it.  Maybe it is a supernatural thing that actually causes you to hear without sound.

And also. Instead of raising energy this way, couldn't i just to the "energy flex?" (see my topic title, "Electrical Signal?") Because now that i think about it. After i flex (im talkin a split second) it kinda feels like a sensation under my skin. Like its filling up. And canim said that its more effective than the NEW technique. I mean, do what you know right??

There are a number of resources, but the only one I know of is www.about.com , and search for whatever style of Martial Arts you want. I know I've found a number of resources for Tae Kwon Do on there.

Although, I can tell you right now, that (in my opinion) it won't do you AS MUCH good as if you had an instructor or teacher or sensei.  I know I could never beat some of my friends who are on a lower level belt than I am in a sparring match because I haven't been to Tae Kwon Do practice in a while (straying off topic, feel free to stop reading) and they have.  Actually it's been over a year since I've been.  But, because of the way our sensei instructs us, we have better technique than if we did it at home.

Just my 2 cents.

Have you tried auto-suggestion? You know, where you think the same sentence over and over again?

I did it last night. I just kept thinking, "I will know I am dreaming. I will know I am dreaming..." It was my first attempt ever to have a lucid dream and it worked. Tonight I'm going to try to set a goal for myself, something I want to do in the dream, just to see if I can remember. ("I will know I am dreaming and I will dance..."[|)])

hey there!
yep, they sound like presure being placed on the astral double, if you can conentrate on those sensation's with a clear mind, you should obe, or you can try and get those sensations while on a bed some where quite like your bedroom, and those jerk sensations you feel is the astral double being pulled back to the body rather quickly, keep it up man, you can obe
dont hesitate to send me a pm if you still have questions
Cheers

you know, I was thinking about something like this before.  The show doesn't say how his power has increased.  As you know, after anything you do, you gain experience.  For example, after a burn on the hand you gain mental power which tells you not to burn yourself because it will hurt ( we all learned that one the hard way...)

So when you really think about it, yes.  From the fight, you learn what moves effectively work and which ones don't.  You also learn the opponent's strength's and weaknesses.  remember the old saying, "Knowledge is power" ?  It so is.

You are feeling the energy we keep talking about here. It is also possible that you are starting to get the vibrations that precede successful astral projection. It has been a while since I have had the vibrations. Someone with more experience will have to tell you about that. In any case, you are doing very well.

Read, be open, and question every thing.  Also take it one step at a time and you also must realize that it is not just snap your fingers and it happens.

And also try to make your questions more specific based on your experiences.  You said that you don't know any thing about "this astral stuff".  Does that mean you have never had an experience that you could not fully explain?  If you have had some thing happen that you can not explain then try starting there.  Quesiton that one experience, see if there are any books on the subject, as questions here about it, and see if there are any people here who have had similar things happen.

It would also help to explain what your 1st goal is, and describe any problems that you have had getting there.

Other than that, welcome.

I do this a lot, or rather I used to.  I actually have done this as a tool for meditation.  That being I found that by pressing on the tear ducts in the corners of the eyes a flurry of color shows up like you said but I then use it to form a tunnel like passage and can maintain that after I remove my hand.  I do this mostly when I want to go into a deep meditation rather quickly.

All though I have been interested if there is any other usage of that particular nerve cluster.  I have tried looking it up in some books on acupuncture but have been unale to find anything.

I would not be afraid of doing it unless what you see is the desturbing part.  Just don't poke your eye out in the process. [B)]
