self-help books are a load of bs, in most cases the person who writes it is in no position to be giving out help because they need it themselves. Reading a self-help book won't get you anywhere, just by reading a self-help book you are admitting to yourself that you need help, and thats when problems start happening. The best way to help yourself is to practice meditation so that you can learn to love and accept yourself, flaws and all.
Depend who is the authour. I think the greatest or one of the greatest chess players of all time can give advice, the book is more about how to think properly and how you can use this to overcome problems. Plus most self help books just want you're money.Quote:

I disagree.Quote:

lol sorry to break it to you but you wont teleport lol....:p
Yeah... you read the thread you'll find that I didn't want to "teleport", just to be able to trick myself into feeling like I had.
Still after all this time I still haven't managed it as such. Just too hard to try to forget where you started meditating when that is one of the things you are expecting to notice when you come out of the trance.
I've done teleporting in dreams. not to actual places, but to other dreams.
The next thing i want to accomplish is dream i am seeing myself asleep. In the dream i want to affect the enviroment somehow. to see if i really have an astral body. And to see if my astral body can affect the physical world.
Believe me or not, but I once tricked my mind accidentally and manifested an object. It was during a period where I hadn't slept for a couple of days, and my mind was really switched on, it felt like my mind was overpowering my body, and i believe i had some degree of mind over matter. I was working by myself in my department of a supermarket, I was the only person in my department and no one else is allowed to enter that area. I just finished up a roll of plastic bags, i was just about to get another roll when a customer interrupted me. After i served the customer, I was about to get back to what i was doing with the plastic bags, but i completely forgot I had used them all up, so i accidentally tricked myself into believing i still had plenty of roll left. Once i turned around to face what was supposed to be an empty roll, there was a full unused roll in its place. I suddenly remembered that i did in fact use the entire roll up and then I realised, "holy crap, didn't i just use that entire roll up? where the hell did that new roll come from?". There was no one else who could of put it there, and they wouldn't of had any reason to put it there anyway. I was definately not imagining things, I am 100% positive I tricked my mind into manifesting it. The other spooky part about it was that our department was completely out of these rolls of plastic bags at the time.Quote:

TWO WEEKS! Wow! I tried staying awake like that once with a friend (after seeing that "Shattered" program on the tv [where contestants had to stay awke for a week to win monies]) but we failed so horribly. We ended up falling a sleep after little more than 3 days, I was so tired I thought I'd never get out of bed again.Quote:

yeah i couldn't believe it myself.
My mind was just so switched on, my body was extremely tired but no matter how hard i tried, my mind just wouldn't switch off and go to sleep. I even tried drinking alcohol to make me fall asleep which only made it worse. In the end I saw a doctor who prescribed me some sleeping pills.
Eonnn, I'll be more inclined to believe that manifestations story if you tell me you're not a pothead. Sounds like a stoner move to me. :p
I've also begun noticing events and objects in my waking like that I may be manifesting. Sometimes I get the feeling that manifesting things is like trying to incubate a dream. More specifically, I've noticed similarities in the way thing occur in RL and the way my dreams are incubated. It's just a hunch, but i get the feeling there is some sort of connection there. I'm still trying to figure it out.
It's like I've been doing this all along, it's not a new skill. I'm just noticing for the first time how it works.
It's hard to classify this sort of incubated manifestation (incubated manifestation, I gotta coin that phrase somewhere!), as it manifests it's self in different ways. I'm not proficient at any one type of telekenis, nor can I do it on command, but I've experienced just about all of them to some degree.
Haha, perfectly understandable. I used to smoke weed, not anymore though... very bad... drugs are bad mkay? but when this event took place I hadn't smoked any weed in at least 6 months. It could be said that because of this period of insomnia i was hallucinating or having delusions, but I know what I saw, and it was something solid, not something that disappears like a mirage.Quote:

Feeling myself fall into a deep controlled trance. Where you can hear and feel everything around you, but only as an observer. I felt myself become lighter and lighter. I could feel the room around me, my apartment, the building I was in, the neighborhood, and finally, I felt like I could feel the entire Earth beneath me.
It was incredible and felt real. I explored the world, feeling the oceans and mountains. I felt a friend of mine all the way in Hong Kong. Standing in line in a McDonalds. I felt myself standing to them and just as my spirit/energy/soul (whatever you want to call it) expanded from my body I felt it coming back together there in that place. I felt heavier, I felt the coldness of the tiles on my feet, I felt the air there, I could smell the fries.
I opened my eyes and was almost startled but I remembered that I was just an observer. I was seeing the McD's and all the people there, but they were not aware of me. It was like having a waking dream, I could see them overlaid in the room I was in, but even that room was translucent. I felt heavier but only on my feet, not sitting as I was doing. I began to hear the Cantonese voices and the sounds of a McD's. I felt the floor against my feet heavier and felt as if though people could see me.
Then, I realized I was without clothes and my observer feeling turned into shear embarrassment and fear... I instantly came out of my trance and felt as if I fell back into my bath.
It was one of the few times I was able to get pass the nagging voice in the back of my head that says what you said, it's not possible.
I remembered the many things that quantum physics suggest, and super string theory suggest. Basically, that our expectations effect the subatomic world. Our thoughts can change outcomes. Although the consensus in the scientific community is that its possible to use thought to effect a single atom, its impossible to effect the billions and billions of atoms that make up us, or anything else in our world.
And likewise string theory shows that in order for the subatomic world to function properly it has to exist in at least 9 dimensions.
Also the scientist say that the universe exist in 9 dimensions but only at the subatomic level, that when the universe was born only the 3 dimensions we see now (UNFOLDED) into existence.
It seems that science can come up with some of the most profoundly philosophical ideas and then completely ignore them.
But let's say that we can control the subatomic with our minds, and that we exist in 9 dimensions, but can only perceive 3(up and down, right and left, back and forth) plus time. Then conceivably we could, with focus and belief, take the vibrations energies that string theory suggest and travel using extra-dimensions to teleport to another local.
One might ask how, but we most people cannot build a cell phone, or understand how the radio waves work, but we all know how to use one. In fact no one truly understands quantum physics, but that doesn't stop us from using it.
