In Topic: Meditation Question

The ego disintegrates during meditation and I believe the rocking is essential to the disintegration.  Bit like your astral body wriggling out of your physical body.

Maybe you should just stop trying to figure out and analyse meditation and the processes thereof but just let it take over and just go where it takes you.

I have trouble using these or asking spirits for favors because it feels like I'm asking "mother may I?" and I have a rough spot with that.
Is this the case or is it something else?



"The word, which is often translated simply as prayer, means literally 'wish-path' (Tibetan: smon-lam).
It is not a request to an external deity,
but a method of purifying and directing the mind.
It acts as inspiration by arousing the mind's inherent desire for good,
which attracts the fulfilment of its aim."

~ Tibetan Book of the Dead

Unlearning. Excellent word and more compact than saying "using your imagination to alter your perceptions than by letting logic and reason dominate".

In Topic: Spiritual Authority

What exactly do you mean by "spiritual authority" ? Control? Dominance? The need to have some god that you can turn to?


Or do you mean "How do I increase my spirituality?"
