Would you elaborate a bit more?

I had rather strange experiences as a teenager due to being able to completely shut down all thought and experience a state where nothing existed. It was as if I was feeling space prior to any physical manifestation. There is a local taco joint here in Santa Fe when I walked into the door, the same thing would happen. Perhaps that place is a gateway.
-
Anyone here have the feeling of direct experience with space? Mine is more visual feeling, but not easy to characterize. Perhaps space gives life for me a dream like quality.
-
When I feel space in my waking life, it is almost fluid like. For me to describe the feeling of space is not so easy and perhaps that is dream like; that is to say the experience of space which I can feel.
-
When I say more alive is not quite precise, but more fluid, brighter and blissful. Perhaps with less limitations. Almost watery.

I have had limited success with 'dream yoga' as taught by Norbu, but when it happens it is as if I enter a different world that seems more alive than when I am awake. There are times when it might be the so called astral, but is perhaps clearer and less emotional than the so called astral.

On another thread, that subject was covered in detail with photos and links. There are yogis that do shrink their bodies after death. The proof is in the photos and eye witnesses.

I have just answered it in several ways. I have every right to critique what you write as you have with me so your stalking claim is moot.

I agree with Wells that the 'dream time' has been a major part of many traditions. So called reality is almost impossible to quantify given the nature of the brain and it's conditioned filtering mechanism. What one experiences is a tiny sliver of the nature of things which makes the experience one of a dream.

A scene from 'No Country For Old Men' by the ultimate rationalist/nihilist. Thought it was fitting for part of this discussion.
-
Another nihilistic post that is not relevant to the OP. I question what you are doing on this site in which the Tao and other subjects are being discussed.
-
Very well stated!
-
@Karl, I challenge you to define exactly what phenomena are. There is no way you can given the limitations of Aristotelian logic which defines the phenomenal world as a static existence as opposed to a process/dream world.
-
As you are pointing out, some here get stuck on the absolute 'isness' of the phenomenal world which language can never absolutely define. Or, so called reality is a process/dream as opposed to a static black/white existence.
-
If I remember correctly, the 'Tibetan Book of The Dead' describes all 6 bardo states as dream like. I can't argue with that given my experience.
-
You and I had one of your called chats last year right on the chat room. All you were interested in was for me to guess your feelings which was supposed to be a healing or whatever. Just posting my assessment of the chat.
-
We had one of your so called chats awhile back and I was not amused.
-
Is the the Jeff style chat?

Paddle boarder collides with a shark.

I think you would need an industrial ventilation hood for that procedure along with other precautions.

Robert Anton Wilson's comments on ethnobotanical substances, among other things.

The origin of life on this planet around 4.5 billion years ago would be an excellent start.

You did what?

Looks like he is fabricating a sedimentary rock by the way it is chipping.
