Thread: Something that happend to me during meditation

I used a technique of applying lite pressure on the eyelid for meditation. The goal was to simply focus my visual perception, concentrate only upon perception. Just like in lucid dreaming, one must learn to separate perception from conception, that is master emotions until you learn to ignore emotions altogether, they just disappear. In that state one is simply perceptual, and then one can call into play the rational functions for examination and reflection.

One practices this until the time engaged become unimportant.

As I said before, Once while doing this, I was concentrating on an iris of light. I slowly moved through the iris. On the other side was a small table, upon the table was an open book and a candle.

This book was opened to a single light--as it is written--I did not know these things at the time.

I was being told something, something I do not believe even today. I was told in my teens. Yet, the more I learn, the more I have no reason to doubt it. I just do not see myself as that point in history.

The first time I started moving through the iris, I did break off, scared. Not this time. I mastered the fear.

At any rate. Perception determines conception, conception determines will.

One has three practices. One learns to perceive--pure from mental response. Then one learns to think, and then one learns how to put right thought into action.
