Title: A new here, hello!
Post by: Shugi Shugi on October 30, 2014, 05:41:42
So... amm... hi. I'm Ainars, 23 from Latvia and I'm new to this stuff. I started to do Buddhist meditation and at one point I saw a part of room with my eyes closed. I don't know, but it seemed very much real. I also have seen with eyes closed when in a sleepy state at mornings. Just a few times really, not often. And I also don't know if it's real or just hallucinations cos of being in sleepy state. But that's what got me into AP, I wanna find out for sure, what if it is real, and this seems to be good place where to start - AP.

Welcome and feel free to post and ask questions. You will find we are a very diverse group.  I would suggest reading on the " skickies"  that is the posts on top in astral consciousness. Thats the best place to start.

Welcome Ainars. I like the look of that name, how is it sounded? Eye-in-nars? Eye-nars?
Sorry for butchering your name. Not the best first impression  :-D

Actually it's spelled with "a" not "e", like in "Arthur", or a word "ability". Ai-naaars, with the second "a" pronounced long (which in my language looks like "ā" - Ainārs) but since English language does not recognize such writing or sound it's just "Ainars" with both "a"s short. :P

I guess English version could be also "Ainar", without "s" at the end. We here tend to have "s" at the end of many words, especially nouns. If your name would be "Kaj" we would just call you "Kajs". I don't think we would do that with name that ends with an "e" tho.

There you go, now you speak Latvian. :) *pats Kaje on a back*

Welcome Ainars, one thing i would say is reality is subjective.  Hallucinations, dreams, imagination, memories, are different states of consciousness that at times may even seem more real than this physical existence, so it's all in the eye of the beholder in my opinion.

Once again welcome to the forum
