What's the difference between Bhaisajyaguru and Akhshobya?
Last night just before sleep, I was doing some light meditation until I got relaxed and started to doze off...when I was starting to fall asleep, I felt something or someone inspecting me, at first I felt invaded and scared, but then I noticed it didn't had any hostile/aggressive intention towards me so I started to communicate with it.
I asked it to show itself to me, to help me understand who and or what it was, I remember seeing flashes of some colors arranged in a circular pattern (there was more, but It's kind of foggy now), I remember understanding that it was not a being from "here", and so I asked for its help in order to go beyond ( I had some experiences trying to project myself out of "here"), and without any effort I felt like there was something lifting my spirit, like I myself was trying to leave my body. I remember it had been actually a little puzzled about not being able to pull me off on its own, something about me having something like an anchor in my deepest.
Then I insisted for it to keep on trying and I started to push myself out on my own, then I felt like I took of, from this point on things started to feel very dreamy, except for my feeling of touch that somehow seemed to persist.
I'm not sure of where I arrived or what I was doing, but everything seemed like my normal life, until for some reason I started to do some math with a few colleagues ( Engineering major here) and while doing unit conversions they would use some strange values, like using 10^6 instead of 10^3 for reducing units (kg to g), after a few more instances of it, I felt like that was actually an slightly different reality.
From this point on things got really weird, I felt like all of that had been a set up to make me actually understand that. Not only that, but the visual aspects of all things faded, I could feel my surroundings but not see anything.
>>cont...
After that I remember being able to jump between those "realities", what I did a few times because the feeling of travelling was actually amazing. Between those " jumps" I remember passing by my own body and feeling my own body with a blanket on top of it just as I had left it.
I don't know why, but at some point I decided to try to travel while being anchored to something, so I held a nail that was sticking out of a stair( at the time I was somewhere that felt like a school) and tried to jump out,, what happened is that I felt like being divided between the two places at once, like I was a little bit at both places at the same time (its a little bit unsettling), then I let myself go and shortly after I started to feel my real body feeling overlapping with my self that was somewhere else, and when I opened my eyes, I was back at my bed....
Anyone ever experienced something like this? At first I thought it had only been a dreams, but the feeling I had were so intense it's hard to believe that none of that really happened...
this meditation meme needs to die
here's your response kid I don't feel like roleplaying today
I'm pretty sure this has happened to all of us, but I've yet to find a solution for it.

>>17086107
Fuck I wish I had a group of people to do this kind of shit with. I used to go walking in these huge ass woods behind my house with a few friends with just some candles and shit to fend off the spooks, like holy water or cold iron. Those were the days.

I try to meditate every day but sone days my thoughts just wont shut the fuck up. Been going at it for about 5 years now and gotten no where
Hey /x/
My mum has a friend over right now who's notorious for being clairvoyant. I don't dispute this, she's said things to my mum on occasion that are accurate and no way she could've known of such things, but other times she has said things that are incorrect also. About 50/50. That's not what I'm curious about.
It's that the whole time she's been here, (about 3 hours) all I've heard is her bitching about every single person who's done her wrong and rehashing fights she's had in her life. She's been pretty much shouting the whole time too lol.
I'm not psychic but it doesn't take one to see she's a highly strung and negative person and seems to just bring the atmosphere down. It's stressing me out just hearing her speaking.
This is a bit different to the psychics I've paid to see in the past who are about 99% spot on and just so refreshing to be around. Very positive and centered and seem so wise.
I hadn't met this lady until now and up until this point I'd always thought those who are clairvoyant are very balanced people with a generally balanced view on others and the world.
I'm completely taken aback by this ladies very negative energy (again you don't need to be psychic to feel it, if you were here you'd agree too).
She is definitely the type of psychic that would tell you that you or someone you love is about to die quite bluntly.
Whereas other psychics I've seen have said this is not at all advised and not a readers place to give such information. She has time and time again been a bearer of bad news to my mum and very rarely gives her information that empowers her.
My question is have you ever encountered a "psychic" who's energy made you feel yuck? Is this common?
Are her "chakras" just not aligned or some shit?
Also
>TLDR can psychics have a negative energy and still be clairvoyant?
Bumping me own thread
>>17085859
You probably just don't like her, OP. Because she's always such a cunt in your experience. I have the same thing with my mother, and she is decidedly not a psychic.
Why doesn't esoteric knowledge present any monetary compensation in the modern Western world?
Why doesn't mystic knowledge bring fortune?
>>17085515
lots of ppl claim that chaos / law of attraction magic helped them get a job
it might be just coincident tho
>>17085541
Inconsequential.
I'm talking about the value of possessing certain knowledge in modern society.
That last thread was actually pretty decent.
>What does is mean to be enlightened?
Bonus points if your answer doesn't refute anyone else's.
To be enlightened is to be ordinary.
At least this is what popped in my head right after surgery while thinking of Zen Buddhism and believing I understood it completely, then did the worst possible thing: tried to consciously understand what I understood.
In a fertile and beautiful land lived a king, prosperous and wise in the ways of the world. The king was compassionate toward his subjects, strong in his will, and was in love with the woman of his deepest wishes. Both worldly riches and the love of his people were abundantly available to the king, yet he still had doubts and times when he was unhappy. He pondered deeply the source of his unhappiness.
One day, word came to his kingdom that an enlightened man had traversed the boarders of his kingdom, and was dwelling somewhere within. The king, set upon knowing the source of happiness and always willing to entertain new ways of thinking, sent out his best rangers to find the enlightened man, that he may converse with him and find his answer.
Not long passed when the rangers returned with word that the man was outside the capital, sitting near a stream on the outskirts of a forest. It was conveyed that the man seemed to be sleeping. The king thought about this, and decided to visit the man, instead of disturbing him and bringing him to the capital by force. He set out on horseback toward the man the very next morning.
Soon, the king came to the area where the enlightened man was, and he saw him, middle aged, dressed in robe, sitting near a small, clear creek with eyes almost closed. The king observed awhile, and decided to simply ask his question. He approached the man and introduced himself as king of these lands, and relayed his wish for a discourse. The sitting man acknowledged the king, and agreed to his discourse.
>>17087505
Here, the king explained his dilemma, of having abundance of worldy things and love, yet finding himself at times unhappy. And so he asked, "O man, you who have devoted your life to attaining enlightenment, what is the source of true happiness, unconditional and pure?" The enlightened man smiled, and said, "That is a good question." The king waited for further answer, but none came. So he implored, "What is the answer?" and the man again smiled, and remained as he was. The king, in his wisdom, pondered a moment the mans inaction. He pondered a great while, until his thoughts fell silent, and in that moment, he realized the man in front of him had answered his question. He left that place never again forgetting the true source of happiness.
Let's have a thread about people being terrifying. I'll start.

He called the cops about this and they basically said "Nothing to see here."
Always wondered what happened to the people working inside.

Trust me, I never have girls in my house, I'm a fucking loser
But seriously, this spooked the shit out of me and I've just been sitting in the den thinking about it all day
Are children really more capable of seeing ghosts then adults?
Or was it just her imagination?
S-should I even go back into my room?
>>17084866
> silence
She's probably trolling you.
She probably noticed that you sperg out like a little wimp at even the suggestion of anything paranormal and gamed the fuck out of you, you huge fucking pussy.
>>17084866
>Are children really more capable of seeing ghosts then adults?
Yes, they are.
But >>17084909 >>17084915 have the right answer to me.
What's this pic called?
I forgot, but I've shown it to my friends and they've seen different things.
>>17084758
It's called "Getting Brainwashed".
>>17084758
"Some laughing Asian dude"
I want to start by saying I am not joking nor am I trying to deceive any of you and this leads to something unsurprising or anti-climactic or anything like that, I am just trying to get some answers for what has been going on. I am not leading anyone on to some "OH MY GOD GUYS THERE'S SOMETHING OUTSIDE I'LL BE BACK" and then never finishing anything and it's all a big letdown.
I always have nightmares. Very, very rarely do I have dreams (that I remember) that are not nightmares or otherwise unsettling to me or downright scary. I'm a 25 year old male, and I seriously get scared by some of this stuff. Once I'm awake, of course, I realize it was a nightmare and think not much of it. So, just for clarity, I am scared in the nightmare itself and can differentiate between reality and dreams.
Now, I know picture related is going to look like something out of a horror movie or some shitty youtube horror spooky creepy-pasta, but it's the only way I can convey what actually haunts me in my nightmares. I think it's a female, as it certainly has the sort of slender-ish body of one. I can't show it in the drawing but the shadows and lines she appears to be made out of kind of wriggle around a bit like it's made out of some kind of misty string. That's the best way I can describe it. Usually I find her after going through a darkened hallway that has the same wriggling that it does but more concentrated. It seems more like the absence of light instead of a shadow or something.
Can anyone even sort of think of I may be seeing or is it just something my mind has created to spook me? I showed it to my mother (she's the only one I know that's religious and that I can talk to) and she thinks it's some sort of daemon, but I wanted to ask y'all.
Not trying to create some weird copy-pasta again, seriously. I am genuinely curious as to what is going on and if anyone knows of anything at all similar. Also I'm not an artist so please no bully.
>>17084599
This is just my quick two cents before I go off to bed for the night.
This is most likely a result of something in your environment that has had and impact on you and your brain is trying to deal with. I believe that this "demon" of sorts is probably appearing also because of largely what you mentioned above when you talked about your brain "spooking" you.
My advice, take a long break from /x/ , avoid dwelling in darkness (literally and metaphorically), stay occupied, talk often about your nightmares with your mother if you can and if you wish.
Also, you can go to the advice board and ask how to deal with nightmares or look it up on google. I can't really give more detailed insight than that at this time.
Stay safe friend.
>>17084795
I can see everything else you said but:
>take a long break from /x/
I don't even come to this board often, honestly.
I'd say that while it's possible your dreams are being hijacked by a malicious entity, it could be something more subconscious.
I, too, have extremely unsettling dreams all the time about monsters and murderers, but after discussing it with my psychologist, we've more or less chalked it up to anxiety and general depression.
Ask yourself, are you unsatisfied with your life? Is there something else bothering you in the waking world that could manifest itself in your dreams?
Not all monsters are paranormal.
