hello everyone!
after lurking around for a few months I finally decided to join. Because ATS is a great source of information for me and there are a looot of
interesting member here with amazing knowledge and insights. Spiritual, science, religion, history, esoteric,...I read just about anything here and
you guys helped me a lot with insights about spiritual matters.
Thank you and I hope we will get along magnificently - I love you all
Sooo the third eye. What the heck is this thing. Is it just energy/chakra? Is it somehow connected to pineal gland? Is it even real? hehe many
questions...I like that I have something new to explore and experience the unknown especially if it is somehow related with spirituality. I am in!
I feel that I am getting more and more connected with myself and my mind and everything which exists. The whole universe. I feel this is my path - to
discover the spirit. The truth. Everything
So with that in mind I do a lot of meditation and deep contemplation just about ... well everything. And of course this phrase "third eye" is one of
many subjects I wish to explore and experience. And I am certain I did on some level. Because this filling or light gentle pressure on forehead when I
meditate is with me from the first real meditation and it was this experience which pulled me into meditation and searching for the path to find the
truth.
And this pressure still lingers. Sometimes I feel it more sometimes less. Interestingly when I was high on weed I always felt it stronger during
meditations. I like to experiment with all kinds of drugs (only natural haha) because I think there is some connection or maybe there are some drugs
that can just lift up the limits of your awareness or perception. I hope I will sometime somewhere have the chance to try the '___' which according to
testimonies is the ultimate limit lifter and it just throws you into new dimension, weather you like it or not, ready or not
And please don't misunderstand me. I know this is not the correct path. Although the fillings are great and drugs are very fun right? haha-
it is maybe just a short cut or means to an end. As I said - I look at myself as the ultimate explorer of all kinds. And natural drugs are in my
opinion very interesting to say the least if you want to get some amazing experience quickly. But then there is a question of illusion of the mind.
When you are on drugs you don't always know what is real or not hehe And I think this does not even matters. What is important is how you feel about
it. Just like dreams. They are all illusions in our minds (maybe they to are somekind of portals? maybe both?) but they to can affect us greatly!
Anyway I would like to point out that at this moment I am going through a phase. I decided to not do drugs any more of any kind and any other bad
stuff or destructive habits. I feel like I am pealing myself like I do an onion haha layer by layer
No coffee, alcohol, weed, mushrooms, processed
foods, adultery, masturbation, etc... I decided for myself to experience life just as it is. Sober and boring haha kidding
I am currently on a water fast. And I am enjoying every minute of it. Although I am sometime low on energy or have white tongue it is a great
experience. Because I learned a great deal about workings my body and the mind.
And I will try this way for know, maybe until '___' crosses my path
. Which I think is more in line with the truth. Because I feel that if you
really let go of ego and live mindfully and with loving hearth - then this stuff should come naturally. Of course I fell that purity of the mind is
important and healthy body too. So you can really concentrate hard with ease.
And finally what I want to discuss and ask is about advancing myself to new experiences. Now when I meditate I discovered I am getting the hang of it
because my mind is very comm now days probably due to fasting and genuine effort on my part. And I can get very effortlessly into meditative state -
compared to before. Which I am very happy! But I am wondering if anyone can give some advice about how to make further progress. I want to "open"?
third eye chakra/energy. But I do not want to rush it, I want to get it naturally with maybe some meditation practice or something else, dunno? I want
to get past this forehead pressure but I don't know how? Sometimes when I feel during meditation that this is it ..but then soon after everything just
go awry probably due to losing focus because I get hyped and distracted. Maybe is this telling me to focus more and just preserve on with practice
until I will not make notice of this differences? Does anyone know how to process this mindfully?
One time there was also a very similar filing around chest area. Probably the heart chakra? I felt very worm and it was a great filling. Maybe there
will be more experiences like that in the future until I can feel my whole body that way? What do you think?
I wish to explore astral word and OBE and lucid dreams (i think I had i few already - at least they were very vivid with small awareness and no
control during the dream) and I feel this stuff is all connected with the third eye and probably many other things. So if anyone can shed some light
on this subject and have some insights or what should I focus on.
But I don't mind if nothing happens. This is just a brief distraction to my ultimate goal - self realization, enlightenment or whatever you want to
call it
But that does not mean it is useless - every experience is a good one. Even in bad ones is some goodness if you look at it form different
angle in my opinion.
So be happy do what you feel is right in your heart and please give me some great thoughts on this subject
Thank you for reading - I didn't expect for my first post to be so long, but the fingers just won't stop typing. Originally I wanted to open a new
topic, but those damn limits for new members ... well maybe I will do that in the future
