Make sure you check out the "Read an Excerpt of Hallucinations" section as well.
Sounds interesting! I haven't read it yet but sounds like a great share, thanks lionheart
Ive gotta say that ive been pretty stoic in my experiences so far but if I was visited by a copy of myself i might freak out lo! :-D well a little....
Ha... this particular aspect was the start of my 'transformation' last year. Seeing myself. We spoke a great length and it changed me.
If you could create a copy of yourself... do you think you would you get on?
Strange coincidence (?) as I read this today, but tonight in a short, hectic and rather bizarre projection I was seeing a double of mine by my side. It might be that it injected sth into me with a syringe or just held my arm and said sth, not sure, I was not at my highest lucidity then, maybe it tried to make me more 'awake'?
Not quite in the exact-same physical sense as the story... but everytime you meditate, this is what you're doing. You're visiting yourself for a one-on-one.
As with Bedeekin, I've learned more about myself FROM myself than anywhere ever.
Not heard of anything like that before, fascinating stuff. That must of been quite a surprise for him!

2 of me! Brilliant, twice as much stuff wouldn't get done! :-P
I used to ask that when I met new people at work... some actually stupidly said... "no way... I wouldn't trust him/her"
"Ok... stay away from that person then" :-D
To stay away from yourself in the physical? Definately a nut job happening.lol.
