Great points Sighclone. The famous saying describes the reality as "Form is Emptiness and Emptiness is Form." The form is the temporary manifestation of the real(presence/being) which is the timeless dimension that is the present moment itself. If a person have glimpse of the ultimate reality, he or...

I think that all of the people who grow in presence has limited or advanced psychic abilities. Sometimes a clear vision can come that can be about future or the past lives, or some information can come naturally about other places in the world or other dimensions. But most of the time we forget thes...

Yeah, it's been a quite ride. About a year ago I started to practice inner body feeling and watching thoughts. First day fully in presence came thru painbody about 2 weeks later. It was so weird and good at the same time. Next morning I wanted to go back to this feeling but I got powerful reaction ...

I have those intense inner body feelings sometimes, strong vibration or humming. Last summer, when I was in the presence only occasionally, I was taking long walks in nature at weekends, holding attention in the inner body. This practice almost always activated the intense inner body feeling. 3-4 h...

In the last few months the trapped energy in my throat, mouth, head is gradually losing it's energy(it's in a purification process). Also other parts of the pain body also losing it's energy(especially the area in the heart), and I think that these two areas are core of the pain body or something. I...

As SputnikSweetheart said a mental health practitioner's guidance can be helpful to you and as Loffe said you can go to the inner body or concentrate on your breath and then gradually put more attention to your pain body. With more practise you will be able to observe the pain body for longer period...

Note: If anyone wants to do meditation for long periods of time its better to take breaks for few minutes between two meditation periods. For example If you do 1 hour walking or 30 minutes walking, then take a break for few minutes before you do sitting meditation(Do the same after you finished the ...

Vipassana is mindfulness(presence), which is living in the present moment, experiencing the reality as it is. I think Samatha is calming the mind with focusing your attention to a concept. The concept can be visualisation, or the breath awareness. If you put your attention to the sensations in your ...

I wrote this answer for another topic, but I think it would better to post it here with some modifying. The egotistical life for almost every person is "normal" in this world. But being "normal" doesn't mean that it is right, beneficial or sane way to live. Like Eckhart said, the world is kind of a ...

The states comes and goes. One moment you can feel totally objective, selfless and the next moment the state of mind can fall into egotistical mode easily. This is how it works. There comes a point in spiritual development that even when you try to take your thoughts seriously, you can't do it. Whic...

I had a cool OBE few days ago. After I woke up from sleep, I just tried to enter to the black vision in front of me, and easily and quickly I entered to the blackness. The blackness expanded, deepened and I continued observing the images and after a short while I was flying a over school or campus l...

That's certainly one way to look at the physical dimension. Here's another you may want to consider. Rather than 'the bottom' the physical is at the outer edge of created dimensionality. It's where much of the heavy lifting of experiential exploration is available and takes place. It provides a uni...

Belief systems are chains for human consciousness. They are also source of suffering in the world. The belief system of the society that I live in is completely out of alignment with anything good/benefical for humanity and the world. It is amazing to see how countless of people are following such d...

I watched Buhlman's Entering to the Spirit World talk and it is really amazing. Buhlman explains perfectly the dimensions of consciousness and the importance of development of conscioussness in the physical life time. The physical world is in the bottom of all the dimensions and compared to the infi...
