How does duality of mind work?

If the mind is ONE entity how can comparative analysis exist in the mind?

For example: As most people read this they will hear an internal voice reading it to them and their mind filtering the information, processing it and making meaning.
How can a speaker and a listener exist both in the mind. Shouldn't the nature of the mind be that it simply listens and comprehends without having to 'read it out to itself'?

Does anyone know any specific information about this?


Thanks
Alex

It works ok for me.


Alex

Thanks. It's good to know i'm not the only one getting that effect. I'm not sure if I should just ignore the pain and keep going with it because it is probably just my eyes adjusting to a new way of seeing. I'll keep trying anyway. Thanks again.


Alex

That's ok.

Btw Tom thanks for posting this, I hadn't come across that website before.

Can anyone here manifest thought into reality as easily as described in the article? The writer threw some interesting ideas around regarding this.


Alex

Hi

I am curious about whether anyone else has a similar problem to this when doing aura sight. When I concentrate on an object it and everything around it generates a strong aura, but after a few seconds my eyes start hurting like hell. I can't get very far becuase of this. It may have something to do with my eyes not being in very good condition. I'm still curious though, does anyone else get watery and sore eyes when trying to use their aura sight, and if so how do you deal with it?


Thanks
Alex

ATTENTION BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS... Close your eyes, then focus both of your eyes just in the middle of the two eyebrows. Focus just in the middle, with closed eyes, as if you are looking with your two eyes. Give total attention to it.

I don't inderstand this part. Should I focous gently to the middle or should I do it in until my eyes become stressed. Or what? I think I just have confused myself.  

Try to become aware of the area. Gently focus your eyes on it, stressing or straining them won't help. Try simply "gazing" towards the area with your eyes closed.

'Time is what keeps everything from happening at once'

That is a good technique, I don't have enough concentration to perform it though. However time is always subjective at various moments in our daily routine. When we are happy time always goes by faster, or at least in our mind it does.


Alex

Wow this song kicks butt. Its ironic that you had an OBE while listening to a track named Out Of Body Experience but I think now that maybe it was specially build to induce OBEs. I havent yet had an OBE but the effects of this track are amazing. I got pre-OBE sensations within 3-4 minutes of listening to it. I also got surges through a couple of my chakras. I felt spaced out even when I got up after listening to it and still don't feel like i'm in my own body. I'm even getting surges up and down my back. This is quite a unique and interesting track. Thanks for sharing it with us.


Alex

Yes the suffering is being self-created. But we also have the power to liberate ourselves from suffering.


Alex

Of course today new technology is manifesting in the world faster then ever before. New military technologies, new information technologies, new communications technologies and more are being introduced. But where are we going? Sure maybe we can have a 500GB mp3 player the size of a toothpick in 5 years time or a 70GHz laptop perhaps. But will that makes us any happier than we are today? What spiritual progress will this provide? None.

Civilizations thriving thousands of years ago probably had a much more advanced spiritual awareness and even lacked desire for such superficial progress that we desire today. When it appears we are progressing we are digging our own grave in a sense. Global warming cannot be overstated. Apart from that, constant wars and still active nuclear facilities are not helping the world progress. Every nation that has risen to supreme power (Babylon, Egypt, Rome ect.) has fallen. However this time we can not only expect the US to fall (and it WILL fall) but the aftershock will not be as sparring as in previous historical events. The world is so globalized that everything is connected on many levels. Once a major power falls every other nation can be sure to be dragged down too.

Has anyone had a close look at the regimes the US is now undertaking? The US is regressing at an unprecedented rate. We are now beginning to see Big Brother become a reality right in front of us. As a society, are we now on the road to liberation or suppression? Liberation is where we should be heading and is what a shift in consciousness will bring, but is it where we are heading at the moment? The singularity or the disintegration of time is not a prophecy, nor a theory, but a reality. It WILL occur in the next 20 to 30 years if nothing major happens in 2012. This independently will probably bring us to the next layer of consciousness as the third dimension naturally transcends the fourth.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that we are not living in a golden age. We never have been. No matter how hard or how fast we push the progress bar. No matter how much information and facts we stuff our brains with. Until we reach spiritual awareness on a global level our humanity will be no more advanced then it was 1000 years ago.

On a side note, I am trying to progress in energy work and meditation and hope to be able to get into the different focus levels, and I will try to experience Focus 4 to gain a better understanding. At this stage however, my ideas come purely from a historical and personal context.


Alex

Yes. And the only spark in the darkness of overshadowing degeneration of our global society is the revolution of the consciousness. We must stop with the sightless descent into superficial materialism and expand our awareness of a spiritual perception of reality; otherwise we may find ourselves as a race inevitably doomed. At the rate we are going now as a global society, we are going nowhere. A global transformation of thought is impending.


Alex

That's awesome. I have the song in my database, although I haven't listened to it yet, I will certainly try it. I wonder if it is effective with headphones.

The track is just over 6 minutes though, it only took you that long to consciously OBE? Did you meditate beforehand?


Alex

We live in interesting and uncertain times. I think the world will end soon at the rate we are going prophecy or no prophecy. The point is that we are living in a much different reality than the one which existed 100 or even 1000 years ago. The information age and the globalism which spread across the world in the last few decades has revolutionized the nature of how we perceive our reality. The shift has encouraged people to broaden their awareness on issues that hardly came into question previously. The cultural and religious boundaries have faded rapidly and we can no longer really have certainty in many of the things that we previously believed so blindly. The empty space left behind by the revolution in modern thinking will hopefully allow us to introduce not only spiritual ways of thinking but a whole shift towards spirituality. The information age has revolutionized how things co-exist in many respects. Hopefully we won't stop the search for truth here or even continue building higher building, smarter weapons or better consumer goods. Perhaps we will begin the journey inward and this may be the next revolution in consciousness. Maybe 2012 is a wake up call. Maybe if enough people realize the destiny of humanity and pour so much thought into making the 2012 consciousness shift a reality, then just maybe it might just be.

Boxed Nirvana works well. Also check out the binuaral mp3 links here.


Alex

Last night I gave some time to try and stimulate my brow chakra, I tend to do this every night and a week ago I was suffering from very bad headaches because of it.

Ditto

This is an interesting test, I have taken it before. My subconscious mind is driven most by curiosity too, apparently.


Alex

I like your idea Kazbadan. I noticed that polls are only enabled in the  Bugs And Questions Forum at the moment.


Alex

You will probably find that many free holosync variations such as Boxed Nirvana and Abyss are just as effective as paying for this kind of thing.

I can't say for sure about the site you posted because I haven't tried it, but no-one can guarantee astral projection in 20 minutes using brainwaves. In my experience brainwave technology only aids in astral projection, you still have to know what you are doing to actually get there.

Hi Katkandoo_kw and welcome to the forums.

Take a look at Treatise On Astral Projection

Also, do a search on astral projection techniques in the forums and on Google.


Good luck
Alex

I was not being sarcastic at all.I am just saying that your technique is known by everyone already and that vizualisation doesnt work with chakras.At least if you don't trust yourself...

Visualization works with everything if done correctly. Perhaps you should have read the guide fully before prematurely criticizing it.

I realize that the techniques are not useful for everyone but curious beginners come here all the time asking how to work with chakras. Not to be smug, but if there was a guide similar to this on the forums when I first learnt about chakras I would highly appreciate it.

Btw this thread has deviated completely off-topic. CaCoDeMoN's thread (to do with chakra activation) differs from this guide (more to do with chakra balancing).


Thanks
Alex

The thing that caught my eye is that 'thoughts can be placed on a computer'. This means that thoughts are something tangible, not just an intangible product of the psyche.

It would be interesting if an image could be visualized and outputted into PhotoShop. Or if a word document could be typed just by thinking the words you want to write.

Having someone place a chip on your brain is certainly not pleasing though.


Alex

The same way as you activate your third eye. For some people it just takes more effort, and time.

Do a search on it in the forums and on Google, there are a lot of techniques out there.

Take a look at NEW.

There is currently an active thread about chakra activation here.

Also, you may find my chakra meditation useful.


Good luck
Alex

2012 is probably one of the most noted dates (it may be even more anticipated than the year 2000). There are thousands of web pages about what will happen in 2012 and at the end of the Mayan calendar. Many information sources agree on the key information, with only minor differentiations. The common suggestion is that humanity will ascend to a higher level of consciousness leading up to that time. Now I'm not sure what to make of it because the information is quite relevant to today's times and is spread across a wide variety of sources, some of them quite good.

Recently I considered that the idea might be just another prophecy, and everybody is falling for it like Y2K proceeding the year 2000. But then I had an interesting thought. We reside in a thought-motivated reality. That is to say that our direction of thinking has shaped our reality over time. Many people are already aware of this. Many spiritualists also know that thoughts exist outside of self, in an independent block of energy. I had considered if everyone were to think a certain way reality would change in that way and it probably would. It is interesting to consider that even if there is no actual truth to any of the pertaining 2012 theories how much anticipation has been built around that time.

There is a mass of people who are anticipating a major shift in reality around 2012. If we can make reality happen by thought-power then it may be very well true that we can collectively make 2012 happen. This is quite ironical but it makes sense. There may be no prophecy for us as a human race, there may be no divine plan, but in unity we may be our own saviour and ascend into the new realms of reality by our own aspiration to do so.
