Oh no, I'm not teasing, ChickenMonster. It's an interesting subject to me, just from the little I've read. I read something about a man who was in a government-sponsored program(I think it was the 1970s? but I'm not sure). He claimed an ability to use astral projection to visualize things on the surface of the moon. His name was Ingo Swan, I believe. It really was interesting, but I didn't read a lot about it, just a bit:)

Search 'quantum entanglement' for a better understanding of the phenomenon.

'Astral projection' however is a myth.

A circus side show.

Tricks played by the mind.

Your mind is more likely to believe in its own delusions than accepting a scientific fact that disproves your established belief.

Astral projection may be lucid dreaming

Everyone has figured out long ago you're a troll tom, seeking attention due to the fact you live a life in denial.

Jake left the closet years ago. You really need to follow in the steps of your moniker.

This is your 4th new thread in 4 days, all on the subject of toms insecurity.

The issue of your sanity is not in doubt.

Tom is insane

No wife, no kid that practices karate with sticks, no beach to take walks on, no cell phone to blame for his poor grammer.

Specific enough?

Oh... you mean the sweaty shirt thing?

I like to start a new forum.  I think it would be good to talk about the benefit of rocks and how they help us find god.

he means the meditation quoted in philosophy, no beginning and no end, although he doesn't actually quote anything, he figures it all out himself :)

   I don't mean those empty words, wherever you found them. They mean nothing.

  I was talking about how meditation is taking place. It is not a technique, that's all. It also doesn't happen when one wants it to happen.  Then again, this disagrees with many schools which can teach meditation.

All behaviors are goal orientated.  Tell me one that isn't.   True, it is not a technique.  If Meditation has no goal, I doubt that the Buddha, or others,  would have recommended it.   

   All behaviours are goal oriented. Yes. So if there is a distinction between life and meditation, then meditation is not.

  Going into a dark room in the morning or at night for 10 minutes and doing whatever one may be doing, is just kindergarten play, not meditation.

  But the blind cannot meditate, try as they might.

So maybe he means meditation is like empty space...in and of itself it just is but is not an object? 

  What do you think meditation is, in your life, not as a concept?
