when i recall memories from waking life i always see myself in the third person.

it wasn't an urgent one.  it was more like a laid back 'hey, how's it going?  when  you get a sec, read this post.'  

was  he serious?

of course santa is real

me too

i've been meditating for a while now and it's still extremely hard to keep my mind quiet when i want to.  songs are also a huge part of the noise in my head.  i've only been able to stop the song running through my head a few times just by wanting it to stop.  the other times i've found that if i purposefully think of a different song until the one i was thinking about before goes away that it works very well.  just keep on replacing the song you are thinking of w/ another and another until you are replacing them so fast that you lose track.  this works well for me but you'll have to play around w/ it to see what works best for you.

i'd say you were trying to unintentionally project.  do some looking around on this site and you should be able to find some things that are similar to your description.  if you don't let us know and we'll point yo in the right direction.

how did you get a blank post?

they are so big it's only a matter of time before they are nationwide if they aren't already.

they are the convenience stores of convenience stores around my area.  they've got everything and their deli section is top of the line.  they're open twenty four hours and it's somewhere to go if you get bored.  

i really try to have an open mind and then...

that experience fading is one thing i've tried to make last.  what is good about an experience if you can't remember it enough to affect you ?  remembering this has been a goal of mine for some time now.  the best i've been able to do is to write down the experience as i was having it.  the things i wrote down were so profound that it sitll impacts me pretty good when i read them agian.  i've also managed to memorize most of the visual experience as it was happening.  it would be great if i could describe it but...
it's so easy to forget what happened and how it felt.  at the time you are thinking about your life and how you maybe have found a better way to live and how things all make sense now.  there have been times that i've thought the way i've lived my life so far wasn't the way that i actually wanted to deep down and that i was going to make changes now that would keep me in tune w/ this experience.  the memory fades along w/ the intent ever so fast.  even now w/ this paper in front of me w/ the words i've written which include 'i feel like i'm god', it's hard to keep everything where i want.  i can only assume through a  spiritual life can one actually grasp that eternity that i've felt.  it's more like part of it instead of a pre-requisite though.  it's not something that you feel that you have to do in order to 'get it'.

two or three of my friends also have had the experience and when we try and discuss it we just end up nodding and smiling and reassuring the other that they can't describe it but we know what they are talking about.  i believe we've all resorted to 'hey, ya know that thing?....which in turn just revives the thought in our minds so that we are both thinking about it at the same time. as soon as we are both thinking about it the both of us know we are 'there'.   that's really the only way to 'talk' about it.

i'm going to attempt to answer this becaues i genuinely feel that i've been privelaged enough to experience this oneness a few times in my life.  keep in mind though that this explanation and any explanation at that, in words, does the experience no justice.  it's very important though to know that anything you hear that is related to this is coming from someone who has experienced it and it is being canned up in an explanation in words.   just knowing what was said about the experience is in a way pointless because it really doesnt help you experience it for yourself.  if anything you just remember the sayings and such when you do actually have such an experience, and you think 'ok, this is what they were talking about.'  

this will be a very lame, brief description that i will offer to better help.  the oneness that is spoken of, i've found, is indescribable and is oftened termed in ways that are hard to, if not impossible to grasp.  w/ all of the metaphors and paradox's out there it's just not gonna be able to be plainly put.  

you, as in what you believe to be yourself, have a foot.  you know that the foot you  have is a part of you and you don't have to think about it to know that.  if you were to be asked what is more a part of you, that foot or the computer screen you are looking at, you would most likely say your foot.  if, when you ever experience this oneness there will be a feeling and realization that the computer screen, california, grapefruit, all of existence is as much you as your foot.  i would say this was impossible to grasp w/out experiencing it for yourself.  if you truly accept yourself in those terms then there is nothing left to be not accepted.  if you truly realize yourself in those terms you can't rightfully say what is wrong and right.  there is no line to divide because it's all the same thing.  i don't want to come across here like i know everything about this.  i just know what my experience was and what it came to be and what it is now.  if any of this is unclear let me know, i'll be happy to post whatever i can to help provide a better understanding to something that can't realy be understood

i kinda think everything is relevant to how many squares of paper you use in the bathroom.  that's where they key lies.

yeah me too. i quit.

that's  a great story, and mutton is such a cool word.  caulk is too.  

what do you mean by your signature?

i've found that going through puberty is almost impossible to do w/out pimples.  i'm sure there are reasons that pimples happen and that a good dermetologist could help you out some but it's just something that almost everyone goes through.  if you have pimples and have tried the otc stuff w/ out success and they are bothering you still, then maybe you should see a dermotoligist.  if you hvae spots taht you aren't sure of that are pimples or not then you probably should see a determoligist.  also, if you have a toothache you should probably see a dentist.

so you say you have pimples, or spots?

i thought i saw a cartoon on it once.  it would probably be able to teach you perfectly.

the treatises on the main page should have something about gettting into a trance state.  if you told us what you are doing we may just be able  to modify your tek and help you out faster.

i really think it should be called 'gold member plus one more star'.  that is damn funny and something to shoot for.

i say you are crazy for trying to project at all.  oobe is the devil.  if you are going to try and project, before you go to sleep is a pretty good time.  if you do end up falling asleep maybe you'll wake up to the vibes.

i could maybe make a cake or something.

the slightest alteration in my physical body will help tremedously w/ the other oobe related sensations.  if i take a benadryl the energy sensations that accompany a trance state just call me.  give it a shot.  just take two of those or two tylenol pm's half an hour before you do your energy work.  i believe the antihistimine in the benadryl and the sleep aid in tylenol pm may be the same thing.

the more help you have w/ something the less control you are going to have over/with it.
