Geez, i totally did not want to come across as 'full of myself', or an egomaniac. I am new to ATS, and maybe just horrible at expressing myself in
this manner.
After re-reading my OP, it does come across as such. Rather, my thoughts,feelings and emotions just rushed out and really i could have done a better
job in expressing this.
Really, what brought about this topic is my frustration. In other posts i have stated that i am learning/practising various types of meditation in
hopes of astral projection at somepoint. This is proving difficult.
Being new to ATS, i originally came here for a 'forum' reflection and opinion. I did not come to boost myself in anyway!
Maybe instead of me editting the entire post, ATS 'veterans' could just read WHAT i wrote, and not focus on HOW i wrote it. Sorry to come across like
this. My passion interferred with my clarity of communication.
I rather enjoy the thread so far, being defiant is not a bad thing. I mean there you go, a human being probably not very old in human years wanting to
take over what some say are ancient beings. It beats those that pretend they are all humble, meek and submissive, ready to become some advanced
beings' servant for eternity in exchange for knowledge. Though I think you are somewhat overestimating yourself and your abilities or underestimating
what it takes. Potentially anyone can have those abilities you seek but in reality most have their hands full on their job, family, bills, social
contacts etc. it takes a lot of time.
Not trying to appear as one of those GFL channelers, I have nothing to do with that but I am interested in AP and such. Just think about it, you were
born in an already finished body. Sure it had to grow but no human made the blueprints for our current physical body nor do we yet fully understand
all functions of the body (yet to comfort ourselves we pretend there are people out there that do, like scientists, doctors). Out of those blueprints
the physical body is made and this created and maintained the imaginary self and that is what decided to post here. I say it's imaginary because there
isn't one single braincell that holds such a self, it is there because different parts of the brain function together and make up this entity to
relate to it's surroundings, how can multiple cells be considered a single entity? And of that clump of cells, is there a beginning and an end to the
entity, does it begin at the ears or is it after the translation of sounds it heard or is it after the interpretation of the words it translated from
the sounds?
No one needs to learn how to see, hear, feel, just open your eyelids is all that is required. You don't even have to figure out how to turn on the
ears, it's already done. And it is meant that way, imagine all senses were closed at birth and the self needed to activate them from inside the brain
somewhere without anyone able to tell how to do that since there's no information coming through the senses. We don't have to figure out our brains to
be able to use them, we just do.
So that mental image of a self is made up in a dimension of it's own when growing up, we even enforce eachother's mental image of individual selves
because of our interaction. But we don't think about that image having something similar to vocal cords which is the inner voice, nor mental ears, nor
stuff like air through which sounds travels, at best a 3rd eye or mindseye but no model of how we are able to see like physics explains sunlight
hitting objects bouncing into the eye. All these are things you need to work out for yourself and once you understand you can use them but this takes
a lot of time. Otherwise it'll be nothing more than a few wonderful visions or out of the blue insights.
