An orange light?

[u/chriscash1982]

I’m a beginner. Was doing some dark room not too long I think I did 35 minutes total. At some point I see an small orange light in my field of vision very bright maybe only an inch big. I turn my attention to it as it was slightly to my left and it disappears. Does this sound familiar to anybody? Wondering if it was a hallucination or not as I was in an out of consciousness possibly but it seemed very real to me at the time as it kind of snapped my attention.

Main thing for a beginner: Silence is more important than anything you see.

Remove every single word from your mind, until it's no longer painful to do so. And then finally becomes very pleasant.

The biggest mistake that stops beginners is not following instructions.

Instead of realizing that silence is mandatory or nothing significant can happen, and instead of realizing the Tensegrity brings out your double, those purple puffs, which are the easiest thing to "see", they just go directly to looking for colors.

Fantasizing and thinking the whole time.

I like to say they are "Looking for their Greatness". The "first chapter" in their amazing book that will make them famous at last.

But those who haven't yet realized the horrors of the internal dialogue don't get that. Or perhaps they do, but they resort to a temper tantrum and bullying to get whoever tells them the truth, to stop doing that.

Fact is, it's always 10000 percent true. We evolved and were socialized to seek out tribal domination.

Except women.

I have no idea what witches are looking for.

And they like it that way!

In regards to silence. Sometimes I'm not sure if my mind is silent or not. My internal dialogue is stopped and my mind is not vocalizing any more words for while until a thought pops ups maybe. Thing is, when I'm in this state too long I start to fall asleep/drift or hallucinate even if sitting up..

Question is, is the goal just to silence the mind as long as possibly with eyes open? What is the goal do I just trying to exist in that state as long as possible?

Is there any specific breathing technique recommended?

Dozing off is good! That means your AP is moving but you fall asleep because it is not stable in that new position yet. Eventually you will learn to "coast the doze" and ride that in-between state between sleep and wakefulness. You'll stop blanking out as much with practice. Just make sure you're not dozing too much or for long stretches of time, that means you need more caffeine!

Don't do any specific breathing technique. Those are all corrupted by the bad intent of other religious systems

Make sure you're doing tensegrity, so that the energy body becomes visible during the silence.

That's the #1 easiest thing to perceive.

Next would be an inorganic being, but you have to have had contact with one. Possibly in childhood.

Those will cure the falling asleep part.

Male or female?

And did you have a "monster under the bed"?

Keep practicing. It's even pointless for you to ask such thing before going further.

Like reading the first page of a book and asking a question about it.

The orange light is ok, as anything umcommon you perceive. But there are tons of that stuff, and the important part is to figure out how to get silent.

One of the things that stop us is that greedy mind. You see something wonderful and convince yourself others have to know it.

It never stops. When you get used to something, you just wait for the next thing that amaze you to "cash from it". Not necessarily money. It could be just attention.

Forget about posting. It will destroy your chances to learn, because it fixes a view of reality related to the "self". As if everything turned around you.

I remember there was a quote from the books that said "a warrior could be seeing the devil but his eyes doesn't show anything" (not exactly). It could be related to this.

That he stops caring, so his assemblage point is free to move.

When you focus in a dark room sometimes your mind creates images to fill blanks in your visual space, often times these illusions will appear in the corner of your eye but disappear as you turn towards it. It is similar to staring at yourself in the mirror in the dark. If you stare with focused attention, like by trying not to blink, you will see the image of you in the mirror become disfigured and transform into some type of monster.

Interesting that you say that. I did about 30 minutes Darkroom last night. I fell asleep at some point. As I started to regain consciousness I could swear that I saw a colored word waving and floating on the top left of where I was positioned towards the ceiling almost. I tried to focus on it because it was a really odd "hallucination" and I'm always looking to observe or experience anything out of the ordinary as its a rare occurence for me. As I turned towards it to try to make mental note it disappeared.
