Merry Christmas to you too and to all those who helped resolve my doubts and to those who read this, my brothers.

"You do not have to struggle to reach God,
    but you do have to struggle to tear away
      the self-created veil that hides him from you."

-Paramahansa Yogananda

"There is only one virtue     
          and only one sin
                for a soul on the path:
virtue when he is conscious of God         
                  and sin when he is not."

-Abu Hashim Madani
 

The first time I read this I was quite confused, but after a while I think I understood it.

Are you referring to the fight we must make to separate ourselves from this bubble that prevents us from seeing beyond what our physicality allows us to experience? What do they call "system"?

If so and if I didn't misunderstood... how could you teach or explain to someone, not far from a baby, how to see beyond what your eyes allow you to see and what your heart allows you to feel? despite so many obstacles in life.

I honestly think I already know the answer, but it's always good to listen to older people.

And since we mention God... who or what really is GOD/THE ONE/THE ALL? Is he really the supreme being of all infinite reality? Or is he the supreme being of this reality of many or of this layer of planes?

Is it a type of energy that permeates every corner, or is it a being similar to us with similar feelings? As well as a part of the Bible that says "I will make you in our image and likeness" referring to its resemblance to us.

I really don't know how to address that being without knowing what he or she is like or what he or she feels.
I say it innocently, since if he is really there I would like to be able to pray to him and if possible be able to have communication... although I doubt that being so powerful would grant an innocent request like this, that makes me a little sad.

To be honest, I'm not thinking about doing an OBE at the moment, I feel like I'm not ready for it yet, both due to lack of knowledge, a slight fear and because I feel like I don't need it. still.

Maybe it's not what I need, but I want to be able to advance as a person, spiritually, and refine my soul. It's just that there are so many obstacles that come my way that I don't know how to deal with them.

Maybe it is as you say and this loss of consciousness is part of the necessary process to move forward....but for a long time I have had these loss of consciousness just before reaching peace or discovering something really great. The only interesting thing I can get out of it are some feelings or visions that appear and that I don't know how to interpret.

Sometimes in that fraction of seconds where I am about to lose consciousness, I can see and feel how I can control everything around me. As if it were a game and you had total control, even of light or space.
But that's not really my goal, at least for now.

If I can't control my own mind and spirit, how could I control something like that correctly?

I have tried too many methods. but I always lose consciousness and no matter how well I slept that day, after that the sleep is so unbearable that I can't continue.

I am sorry for those who take the trouble to respond to me, I always saw those with greater understanding as my older brothers, if I don't ask my brothers for guidance then who?

I'm really taking it very calmly, there's no need to worry about going too fast.

Thank you for guiding this inexperienced entity along these paths.

So, meditation is reaching a state of peace and stillness in the mind? Or does it have other purposes?

Being the first, I have a serious problem... every time I am about to reach a state of peace I lose consciousness and fall asleep, I really don't want to fall asleep or lose consciousness.

I have been practicing a lot these days and a moment ago while I was trying I had the feeling that consciousness, mind or memories are recorded in our soul and not in our body. and everyone says that our body is nothing more than a vehicle for our soul. But then....if the soul is the center of consciousness or mind, why do I lose it when I achieve peace? If what is supposed to sleep is only the vehicle and not my entire being.

Thank you all for helping me resolve certain doubts, now I have everything a little clearer about what I should do.
From what they tell me, I should take things calmly and over time I will get used to it, I should start meditating but... what is meditating? and how is it done? How can I let go so I can connect with my environment or with a higher consciousness?
I have consumed so much type of information that everything is mixed together.

Can your physical body die from projecting?  Is that what you're asking? 
If so, then no, you're perfectly safe.  It's as safe as dreaming - and you've always woken up each and every morning safe and sound. 

Is that so? It's a relief... I don't know if that's part of the projection but it's very scary. I may be safe, but the things I see, the sound, and the unbearable shaking I feel at that moment are terrifying. Simply feeling like I might "die" from letting myself go or that that feeling of fear really means something to my health, I walk away from that experience that could lead to more.
What can I do to overcome that fear?

And how can I increase my efficiency when "meditating" or "cultivating"?
If I'm lucky after 3 minutes I feel too many things, but most of the time when I spend more than 1 minute my mind wanders, no matter how much effort I put in, I start to wander and every 30 seconds or 1 minute I have to start all over again. Or I get really sleepy and fall into it.it frustrates me a little

Once again, thank you for your senior guidance.

Welcome to the forum.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about, but after reading your post I've been noticing the word a lot.

Cultivate.

In my opinion, and from the material I've read after your post. You don't need to follow someone else.

You don't need to worry about getting something right or wrong either. Understand your desire, and recognize this pursuit as uniquely yours.

Between you and God. Or Universe, or Spirit. Whatever word suits your temperament.

Here's what I read shortly after your post...

But first, let's look at the word cultivate. It means you have to apply your will in order to see something grow.

Again... In my opinion- considering your confusion and your doubts, you don't need someone to tell you how to do what you want to do. You just need to do it. The correct way is not always the correct way...

Consider a 5 minute daily practice a damn good start. Congratulations on forming a positive habit. I would benefit to take your lead. And now here's the material I read shortly after your post...

I hope it helps.

Don't be discouraged, and realize a great meditative experience can be had in-between moments and at seeming spontaneous times. Restlessness is a great contender. If you are to cultivate anything- let it be awareness. Keep up the good work and please share your discoveries along the way.

Cheers. 

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for responding.

I will read it again later since I am not in myself at the moment and I cannot fully understand your message. I appreciate it very much.

I'm sorry if this is sudden but I just had a strange experience and I need to ask, can our body die or suffer something from some practice?

That's right, cultivate energy and mind. Possibly everything I've read so far is a mix of fact and fiction, which leaves me confused and doubtful as to whether something like this really exists. Like that "dao" or something similar.
Meditation, healing, longevity, Projection, Energy Control, I really don't know how far reality goes since I didn't have the opportunity to experience something like that, nor did I have someone around me who could tell me "this is the path." Still everything starts with the most basic of everything, and in this case I think it is "meditation" but even in the most basic I can also fail, I really don't know how to meditate correctly. That's why I came here to see if my elders could guide me in this path and not let myself be confused by the excess of information that circulates on the Internet.

Many heartfelt thanks to anyone who wants to help this rookie.

Do you mean, like, "Cultivating" energy?  For purposes of...?   Meditating?  Spiritual growth?  Projection?

Oh and deleted your other topic in the Astral Chat section.  I believe your question fits much better in this sub-forum. 

 Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.
 I'm new here and I don't understand much, if possible I would like the elders to help me understand what they call "cultivation". I have seen information related to this on several forums, but each one is different
and they explain different things from each other that I can't fully understand later. From the little I have researched, it has something related to meditation, but it is very difficult for me to achieve it without falling asleep after 5 minutes or reaching some state of "peace". I would really like to know more about the subject and I would really appreciate it if you could help this young man. Thank you so much everyone.
