Nono not at all. That was a learning experience. Besides, I didn't doubt my site. I actually forgot all about my site, and it just so happens I wrote it fairly accurately anyways. I'm just still not entirely happy about my depiction of ego. Something isn't sitting right with me there. I gotta just tidy it up a bit. |

By the way I just want to be clear about something. I'm not a guru (not yet anyways). |

I’m a bit pressed for time right now, so it might be a day or two before I get back with a more detailed response. But the big, obvious one is silent sitting meditation. Shi-nè in Tibetan, zazen in Japanese, samatha in Sanskrit (although I think that one also encompasses other kinds of meditation as well). In any case, you want the one that doesn’t have any sort of object of concentration—just as basic as it gets. |

LeaningKarst - thank you - I'll look into those forms of meditation. I have done silent meditation before, just clearing the mind and allowing thoughts and feelings to rise up and pass without becoming attached to them, just observing and focusing on the breath. The binaurals take me much deeper, and yes supposedly they give the effect of having done years of meditation - I don't know how true those claims are but they sure make me feel amazing. I think I'll do binaural and then when the track ends just sit and meditate quietly. I might also start doing kundalini yoga again, but need to take it easy - I've always had back issues, and when I did it before it started to mess me up. But now I know, and just need to find my limits and not exceed them. |

Well that makes perfect sense! I'll do it in silence then. You do still need to clear the chatter when using the beats, but I suppose it's easier when listening to something (there's meditation music along with the tones). But I also realized - if the idea is to not rush into it, why am I using something that accelerates the process?! |

Another Buddhist thing you may be interested in looking at, Darkmatters, is the Noble Eightfold Path. |

Thanks for reminding me of the Eightfold Path - I read about it some time ago in a Buddhism book, but had forgotten. Yeah, it does sound like a good grounding practice. |

Those active imagination videos are cool! I see what it is now. I just looked it up too. |

It is hard sometimes, but it works best if you can get yourself into the stage just before sleep, when you can witness dream images beginning to form. As with many lucid dreaming techniques, best done after some sleep, or in the morning - just lie still and let yourself start to drift off again. Sometimes I can keep myself aware as the images form, and when I do I can have powerful and vivid AI's. The danger is you can just fall asleep. |

Sometimes I can do it at night when I first go to bed. But I think it's only on days when as I like to call it my head is already bubbling over with REM before I even get in bed. On those days I feel very dreamlike for maybe an hour or several before going to bed, and my brain seems to be already spilling out stories and images, which become very noticeable as soon as I lay down and close my eyes. I mean it sometimes is overwhelming, as if it's trying to catch up on lost REM or something - not sure if everybody gets this? |

From what I know about Jung I think this is a very natural turn for this thread to take eventually.. I have been working my way through the first couple of pages of this thread in the last days. But I jumped ahead a bit to join the action... |

It's a good video, but on a different subject really, so there is a misunderstanding of what I was saying it seems (why I don't talk about this stuff much). |

This thread is moving too fast for me to keep up! |
