Thanks for the thoughtful replies. I had another question regarding the experience of being smacked with the blue light between the eyes. Is this something that should be worked for as something that happens every time? it's only happened once for me. Does it happen faster with more practice and to what degree? And you mention "energy work" which I am totally inexperienced with. I am generally a thinker and use various methods (lucid dreaming and fungal sacraments) after spending a great time forming a honest question. (imagine if you could ask a superior intelligence a sincere and profound question once a year what would you ask.) This method of searching has lead me here with my last answer being "learn to control your mind" but I'm very curious about being able to control the phenomena I mentioned (ie. magnetic feeling hands) Does that really happen? and how?

Hi guys. I've enjoyed the forum and am happy to have found a place like this. I'll just jump right in here. I used to have all these strange dreams from my childhood where I would make these strange body postures and generate this feeling of chills (best way I can describe it) and end up levitating or turning invisible or what have you. Now this was from a very young age (like 3rd 4th grade) and I can't recall any outside stimulus for these types of dreams. later in young adult hood I had a natural tendency to lean towards subjects pertaining to the meaning of life, the origins of consciousnesses, etc. and was often considered (and felt) to be "out there" but I always was just kind of o.k. with it and really only slightly sad I could not get any of my friends to share in the more deep feelings about life I was having. Now almost thirty years old and having done much humble searching -however hard it was to sift through the new age(or however you wanna dress it up) capitalization of awareness- I find myself here with a hand full of deep experiences and a truck full of questions. I hope to have open and insightful dialogues with many intelligent people and it's my intention to respect the process. thanks for reading and I look forward to your insights.

nice to meet you as well. I've been working with people who are disabled for 10 years now, and of the older generations there are some with scary stories about the asylums of yester-year. Not that long ago in the big picture. Those dreams that I've shared I haven't thought about until just this last few month I started looking into taoist alchemy, qi gong, and such types of things a little closer, then reading briefly about some of the abilities of the claimed masters and the training and body movements used in various types of meditation, I was flooded with the memories of those dreams. Definitely got me to start working from the book "taoist yoga alchemy and immortality" and I'm having experiences that relate to what I've read so that's interesting. I need to find a teacher of this type of stuff in the Seattle area. Also, I'm a avid lucid dreamer and I'm curious (I've read a book on Tibetan dream yoga but did not find it to be fruitful) if there are any mixes of these paths... Dreaming, and Taoist Alchemy(Nei-gong better said?)

I'm guessing that's the state you have to balance in to even get these events to occur? I'd love to hear you elaborate. Are there any real masters in the Seattle Wa. area?

double post

what is the next step?

Thank you.

Thanks for the replies. The vision was definitely in my minds eye and not open eye visuals and the vision aspect only happened at the end when the blue whitish light cracked me between the eyes inducing a very temporary state of bliss/euphoria/whatever. I thought it was strange how it felt like it hit my head and thew my head back though. Is that normal? the point on my abdomen was filled with pressure first and then it felt as if it moved to my solar plexus. I was a little nervous because I've heard people mention not doing these types of meditations without a "master" or whatever, though I'm reluctant to trust just anybody with these types of matters as they are very special important to me and I'm weary to let some type of charlatan start program my thoughts on the matters. The internet is nice because one is not forced to believe what they hear and with honest searching I find it's easy to sense the truth.
