Stuff like that...
Hope this helps
I was going through a phase at the time where I considered myself to be wise and very spiritual. I'm not sure what that means anymore, but if you aim to be as spiritual as possible, this might help. Service to others was my motto back then. I would go out of my way to do nice things for people and even come up with new ways to be of service in every day situations. Like, at Red lights, I would stop in the left lane so that others could use the right lane to turn right. I tried to add to the efficiency of the world.

If you look through the list of my 100+ threads i wrote, there is one called, "two encounters with extraterrestrial life" or something like that. They were non physical beings. One "good", one "bad". Godlike. Angelic and demonic. Not in appearance, but in their presence.
Meditation helped me get there, but ever since the encounters, in haven't been able to meditate and every time I try, I feel worse than I did when I started, so I don't really do it anymore.
A desire to have an encounter with higher beings is helpful too. Also, try lucid dreaming.

Keep the desire, and believe that it is possible, and I don't see why you couldn't have success. Love is important too.

Yes, you can. No, its not a long or hard process....but quite different for each of us. I have been practicing it for 30 years. Yes, with much success.
U2U me privately, and I can answer any questions you may have. To do so on-forum, just brings out the "trolls', naysayers, and non-believers. And it is much too serious a subject.
If I do help and direct you in anyway? You have to promise too....to help someone else along the way in return.edit on 06-10-2010 by mysterioustranger because: puncuation

If you don't know what you're doing, you will end up getting things attached to you that you, yourself cannot get rid of. I tried to this back in high school. needless to say, 5 years later everything that I thought I talked to/heard/etc. finally disappeared. Unless you know what you're doing, don't even attempt. Please, Its like using a wegi board

I have been trying to astral project as a means to communicate with departed family and also to learn more about life. All's I know is that I successfully projected once for what felt like less than a minute, and I never wanted to come back.
Here's a link that WILL help you achieve what you are looking for.

I've been trying for just about a month now, and have achieved this once and believe to have communicated with my guide, I think. Alls i know is that this being didn't show herself, but was very kind with her words.
I meditate everyday, and probably will for the rest of my life. I want to experience it again and hopefully stay longer
Plus meditating is a great stress reliever!
Good luck friend!edit on 25-12-2012 by Xquizit because: (no reason given)

I recommend that you aim for the summer solstice. When it arrives, be a) in the middle of a fast and b) reading and meditating on mystical literature such as the poetry of Rumi. Fasting will make meditation a snap, and the solstice energy will give you 'mana'.
That gives you plenty of time to plan your fast. You will have to ease into it...gradually eliminating foods from your diet as the solstice approaches. Perhaps go from your normal diet to a caffine and sugar free diet, then drop dairy, then grains, then go onto a brown-rice fast. Then a juice fast. Then a water fast a day or so before the solstice.
Then ease your way back out of the fast. You'll find much on the net to help you form an exact plan. Good luck.
