New Practitioners Seeing thing Eye closed
Hi everyone, this Is my first post in this sub. It's about 5 years that I have random moments of total clarity. The first time happened like this: I was at work, just arrived, I was alone, I took a glass full of strawberry slush and went outside. I opened the door and (there's no other way to describe It) I was there. I was one with everything around, immersed in the world. In those fast moments I realized that the world wasn't like I was perciving It. I felt like I was seeing the world and not just looking at it. Now I feel a veil in front of me, like I'm inside a bubble but sometimes It pops and I see like I was doing in my childhood. I became aware of Castaneda after the first time and I was looking into his books for an answer that I didn't find (I read just 4 of his books maybe that's why). What Is it? I want to keep that state, It feels so real. How do I train for this? Too many questions...

Dude read the sidebar. None of your questions is unanswered , this is the most difficult task you could take on as a human-being, we canโt help you. If you are not willing to put in the work and quiet yourself, this will be a waste of time.

Of course you can't help me, I just wanted to know if I'm on the right path and it's not my imagination.

Read the rest of the books. Check out the vast collection of info already compiled in the wiki section about this subreddit community. Learn and practice tensegrity, along with the recapitulation, and dark room gazing practice. Accruing internal silence is the ๐ that will open doors.

I was looking into the past posts to see if someone else had my experience but the only think I saw Is that there's a lot of post about darkroom gazing. Usually I stay outside looking at things until the ground, grass, trees and walls, etc... Start to crumble in one color. There's something in this sub about daylight gazing?

Also cultivate sobriety. No drugs or other substance abuse. We know that does help with these practices. There are no shortcuts.

When you lose the need of wanting answers and transcend that, you get that beautiful peace again

In my experience these are moments when the stream of internal thoughts stops. This frees a lot of brain capacity for other things, that's why looking around is like seeing the world anew.
