Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind

Attempt 15:

Last night I tried it my way by focusing the awareness of my location. I fell asleep in one minute or something like that...

I had some vivid ehrm sex dreams this night, and not a few of them either.. So I am not going to write them down :lol:

I am going to read some pages of his book and hopefully I learn something new.

He say that the most important thing is that you learn by yourself. But that either way meditation is the first step, because that's the way to tune into he consciousness, by not blocking it. Even though he can almost define anything as meditation.

From his book

"Those who seriously want to get started on their spiritual journey, but find them-selves caught in the headlights of physical action-reaction causality, will now havesomething to do. It may or may not help you improve the quality of your consciousness- that depends on you - but it will give the committed doers a place to start. Often thatis what is needed - a place to start - a doable approach to the problem of how to mod-ify the quality of your being."

To do this all you have to do is to be conscious of yourself. But the western man is not used to be that, so it can be a good idea for starters to learn to be conscious of something to still the mind and then learn to be conscious of youself.

He talks about different mantras such as: "sehr-ring",uda-room", "ra-zing", "ca-ouhn", "sah-roon", and "sher-loom." For a simple multi-syllable repetitive string (chant), try: "ah-lum-bar-dee-dum - ah-lum-baa-dee-dum.
And the improtance of not carry any intellectual meaning with them. You can use any sound you like the important thing is that it can't make any sense to you, so you can associate it with something intellectual.

You can also use other sensations to meditate like, kinesthetic, visual. Anything you like.

But I am going to stick with a mantra, because that's what seems most appealing to me for the moment.

"The point here is to learn to control your thoughts and your operative mind so thatyou can experience your consciousness. This is a first and necessary step. Later youcan learn how to direct that consciousness once you have freed it from a noisy, frantic,ego serving, perpetual tail chase. Do not try to direct it too soon - that will only delayyour progress - get in touch with, and follow, the source of your intuition. Do not pur-sue or chase after specific or general results. All results must come to you. If you goafter them, it will only delay your progress."

I like his way of writing, because when you have watched his seminar, it all makes sense and is even logical and proven with theories from the quantum physics! And it's also a very good explaination of how to meditate ;)

Although all his theories still goes hand in hand with what Carlos Castaneda wrote about, but it's explained with science!
The paranormal is possible, it's just not understood by the western man yet.

I will pracctise some meditation during the day, then I will meditate while going to sleep. See you!

[COLOR="red"]Wait! I just have to tell you about a very cool game that is realised soon:

Have you seen the movie Spirited Away? If you have haven't .. See it now! It's about a little girl who gets trapped in a city of spirits, very beautiful film. Anyway now there is a game called Journey, not the creators of Spirited Away but it reminds me of it. The game is like a simulated Out of body experience as an entity exploring another world.

On the journey you explore different places and learn new things about yourself.[/COLOR]
