i believe i remember reading that meditation can give you suffucient rest if done right.  i have tried to replace sleep w/ meditation in the past but didn't get the results that i wanted.  i'm not sure how much sleep your brain needs or if your mind needs to rest or not.  

being able to oobe all night and still get a nights rest should be a hint as to what to do if you wanted to try and swap the two for a night.  maybe meditating in a sleeping position and reaching a deep enough level of trance would suffice.  

you shouldn't lose energy while meditating.  there shouldn't be a loss after you are done.

i've seen at least four or five different color schemes for chakras in the bookstore.  in the chakra section there are many books w/ illustrations on the front showing what colors represent which body part.  i've read that those colors aren't the actual colors of the chakras and they are shown like that to produce certain effects in our consciousness.  thinking about different colors  and patterns affects our consciousness in different ways.  i don't know which colors to believe are where becasue of all of the selection.  it makes me think that none of them are right.

tom, what do you think about that guy at the store being kind of (unjustly) ticked about you holding your ground there, and you being very sensitive to energy now, due to all of your energy work?  not saying he wasn't doing something, but finding out just how much intent plays on moving energy and anything else has made me think more about the effects they may have.  i wonder how big of a difference there would be in the effect of someone purposefully screwing w/ you and another person w/ out a background in energy work being very mad, and either wishing harm on you or going through the motions in their head.  

as strongly as i feel about how stupid fighting is, i still go through those little day dreams sometimes where i get into fights w/ someone i don't even know that may have just looked at me wrong.  

kakkarot, you seem like you are very interested in energy.  it's suprising that you have not tried any reiki yet.  if you are interested in being attuned i'd be more than happy.

i had the same problem when i first started doing new.  even after a month or so of contious effort i was still having problems getting my energy to move around the way i wanted it to.  certain parts of my body felt as if they were completely blocked while others may have been over sensitive.

moving your awareness around doesn't necessarily mean raising energy to those spots.  i've found that if you move you are successful in moving your awareness around the energy will usually follow.

easy enough should be lying down and feeling your whole body, one part at a time.  no matter how long this takes you it's an important part.  in the beginning stages i would sit for half an hour or so very slowly inching my way across my body w/ my awareness.  after you've definetly covered your whole body and have a good feel for it you can start to move a little faster.  this is where i started to run into problems.  i couldn't move very fast at all.

if you have to start by highlighting that's fine.  highlight the souls of your feet and start there since they may are one of the most sensitive parts of your body.  after you've got a good feel for where they are while you are lying down, try and determine the very edge or the part of your body that you are feeling w/ your awareness.  for example, if you are feeling only the souls of your feet where you highlighted, try and feel the slightest bit past the edge of that point of awareness.  the bottom of your feet are connected to the side of your feet, which are connected to the top of your feet and so on.  try and feel where your awareness connects to the next body part.  

when you have the hang of moving your awareness around slowly, speed it up past the point of you being able to feel each part comfortably.  faster still to the point where parts start to feel like they are getting skipped.  eventually your feeling will start to catch up to your movement along w/ some pretty decent energy sensations.  after going too fast for yourself, slowing down should prove to be very effective.  i'd say after about five  minutes of trying to move your awareness around your body at the rate of two to three full body sweeps per second that slowing down to about one sweep per five seconds should produce some very good results.  in ad, robert wrote that your energy body is capable of lightning quick movements.  though i've never felt anything quite that fast, i've been able to get some very good motion.  

i've had some very good results imagining a spray bottle w/ a constant spray coming out of it being used on my body.  it helps to think about cold water.  the feeling of a mist covering my body was a good piece of tactile imaging.

i have yet to dl any of the videos yet to see for myself but i am probably going to wait until i see some positive responses posted back first.  if the levitation uprise is that slight, try standing on a hard surface like some books or some concrete w/ a sheet of paper in between your feet and the surface.  have someone else pull the paper out from underneath of you while you are levitating.  if u like this idea but don't have anyone there to pull the paper, i'm sure you could tape a string to it or something and pull it yourself.  no matter how slight the uprise is i'm sure that the paper is thin enough to match it.  a sheet of notebook paper would probably work well.  as long as both of your feet are on only the paper and your upper body or hands are also in view to see that you aren't leaning on anything, this should be a very good way to set some minds at ease.

hi

i don't believe that it's possible to seperate ther terms intuition and psychic.  if the seperation is attempted at the level of clarity that is experienced, intuition being the lesser or the two, then intuition is psychic ability at a lower level.  what would you call the lowest form of psychic ability if not intuition?  can a gut feeling or instinct really be labeled as being  non-psychic?  

all information received is either external or internal depending on your standpoint.  i don't  believe that a seperatation of  the kind of information you receive can take place.  if it's truly believed that we are all one then all information is internal.  if it's belived that you are seperate from anything else then all information is external. if information manifests due to a conclusion drawn about any phenomena, that conclusion was drawn from information already received via something external, ie. you witnessing an event.  if information was received from something other than your five senses it would also be considered external.  this includes receiving information from your higher self, who had to have gotten the information from another source which was external.  that last one would apply to anyone that believed 'you' exist as only the you that's known now and your higher self.

when you try to prolong the experience it usually means you are consciously trying to not think about it ending.  any thought about the experience ending or about your physical body will usually start to cause fluctuations that will bring you back very quickly.  it's hard to keep your calm in that moment when you first realize that you are lucid.  w/ practice you can eventually learn to control yourself.  there are some techniques for maintaining lucidity at www.lucidity.com.  when you are non-lucid it's easy to keep calm because you are usually so caught up in whatever you are doing that you don't realize you are dreaming.

i originally read this post  two days ago.  up until then i've never experienced dream pain.  last night in one of my dreams i was stabbed to death w/ a kitchen knife in my stomach.  i remember thinking that i was dreaming and this was the most pain that i've ever experienced.  i was alright w/ it all though because i knew i was dreaming.  this was the first time that i actualy remained in the dream when death came.  usually i wake right up when i die.  it turned out to be a pretty good experience.  it somewhat tested my fear factor because when i died in the dream, the thought ran through my mind that i actually died in real life also.  instead of panicking and trying to wake myself up i just lay there, dead in the dream, until i felt my self breathing again.  it was an incredible experience and i somewhat look forward to  more of them.

where do you look to find a teacher?

good job bit.

time if it does exist isn't linear as i understand.  that wold make it even harder i suppose.

is the three d blackness the same as being in a deep or full trance state?

i'm fred.

i can make myself vibrate on certain parts of my body if i try but they don't come w/out effort.

well we all should be happy.  looks like everyone is an indigo child.  shouldn't we be on tv now?

i told everyone that would listen at first.  i don't regret it but i still get excrement for it and that was at least six months ago.  all i can do now is smile at them and think that maybe at the point of death they are coherent enough to realize that there is something more and that i wasn't lying. i've toned it down much since then but there are a few friends who seem genuinely interested.  i fill them in along the way and have managed to get one of them to buy ad.  you can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat.

auraseer, why not try just performing tk w/out announcing it?  if you are having problems getting people to wait for you to do it or whatever, just wait till you are sitting there watching tv or playing a game or something and do it.  if everything works out you shouldn't have any more problems getting their attention.  i'd be very interested to know how it turns out.

i always thought the ripping sound went along w/ your astral body leaving your physical.  those are the only times i've heard it and it fit in w/ what was going on at the time.

what position do you take meditating and what kind of meditation do you do?  we can help you w/ any problems you encounter but its really best to just read through this site.  there is a great treatise on oobe that robert wrote.  you should be able to find it from the main page.

if u want to have an oobe just spend hours at this site.  read everything you can.  there is so much information here.  almost every problem has at least been brought up if not attempts made to solve it.  as many times as you'll read it's what you have to unlearn to make this happen, rather than what you have to learn, it's still hard.  keep at it.  if you read as much as you can here and have any problems just throw them up here and we'll take care of them.

congratulations

i really get a good kick out of reading posts like that.  i haven't read any of the posts you are talking about but i'm going to post this just from reading your post.  there is a chance that what you are arguing is something that you agree w/.  there are many arguments that are started because of the syntax.  not only are those entities thought projections but everything you can ever know is a thought projection.  how can you argue w/ that?  how can u say that to state something like that is narrow minded?

also in your post you mentioned something about 'astral projection'.  what is 'astral projection' ?  could u give me a brief explanation? any help would be appreciated.  

also,  i have known frank since the fourth grade.  you had better be careful what you say to him .  he's tough.  he can probably beat you up.  i saw him beat someone up once so i know he can do it.

i believe we are god as well.

well i don't have to worry cause i'm fairly confident that im one of the one hundred thousand myself.

we are water.
