what a time to be alive.

I have Our of my body probably 9 times and telephatic communication with beings.. i think i had also several telephatic communication with Spiritual beings or guides.. when im out of my body im still in the earthly Realms sometimes in my own house, sometimes flying around but the one that fascinate me i went to space betong the speed of light and i had to experience the stars, when i look down i could see the world as a sphere filled with numbers.. that was. Successful beautiful experience i had. So sometimes i could lucid dream.. but what i like most is Communicating with beings! These re the Abilities that i have even now

Just found your channel. I had the exact same experience as you when doing the 10 day Vipassana retreat. I worked through many different sensations through the body scanning releasing a lot of pent up blockages in my body. I had a golf ball sized pain or bump in my shoulder that I kept working through. In the 7th day it popped and my system exploded with electricity and I felt pure and absolute bliss and a laser like focus of nothingness. I went out of body, all I was is pure consciousness. It’s so hard to describe but honestly it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced. this was without a doubt the most profound thing I have ever done. If you stick with it, be patient, anyone can reach this. I’d love to chat with you one day if our paths cross, it’s great you are sharing this with the world, Ben.

Out of all the meditation techniques I've learned about, this is the most sensible, realistic, honest video I've seen. While a short-cut is always an attractive option, it will cause more frustration than anything else. Thank you for telling it like it is and sharing your experience.

wow, how can someone so young have just explained these things so clearly and thoroughly. I have been consistently getting more and more profound experiences in meditation and I wondered why i saw faces and things in certain places...so i saw your other video on that and it's exactly what i theorized may be going on. So glad for the validation and the thorough explanation to help me understand it further.

The most down to earth, common sense advice I’ve heard for a long time. This world does want a quick fix for everything.

Oh geesh...I've been doing it half ass. Creating a good foundation sounds perfect. Here are the ego stuff that I still need to work on: 1. Stop vaping 2. Eat healthy 3. Stop watching you know what 4. Get rid of fear 5. Stop watching mainstream media Good advice thank you! 😊❤

Thank you so much for making this video. It found me at the perfect time. I am new to meditation and to 'God'/ The Source. But it was the desire for astral projection that started my journey. Hearing your testimony that this is indeed real, and I believe you, has renewed my faith in my decision to start on this path. I am not ready for a projection, i know this now. But I have begun the work, and some day I hope I am able to.

Probably a bit late to add this observation. Those sensual feelings you are dsecribing the coarse senses. I dont know if this is a male thing. I have always been aware of my subtle body. A shift in awareness allows you to notice the subtle body energies. My husband has meditated for years and he does not experience the subtle body energies. I feel the energy pulsing in the different chakras. I often see energy pulsing in the third eye area. Its like a flower opening and closing. I have found the meditation directions by Nirmana are quite good. Feeling the energy in the heart chakra. Feeling the words that someone is speaking in the throat chakra or the heart. Its a subtle shift in awareness. So my point is that there is more than feeling the coarse body senses. The only problem I have is when I focus on those energies they disappear.

I drove a 18 wheeler here in the USA . O ne night as i was driving well to keep it short i ended up in the Cosmos where i saw trillions of galaxies it was awesome i was in awe.

Thank you for your honest & personal humble advice for those who have not invested years into the spiritual practice on what to avoid as well as what to expect from the internal enemy ego to be able to achieve self realization. I believe many beginners will benefit from your KZfaq posting.

I appreciate you taking the time to put this video up my friend. Something has been telling me to meditate more and sure enough I get on today and your video pops up. Very clear message. Thanks for what you do.

I appreciate this level of honesty ❤

You’ve explained this so well! I’ve never heard anyone explain meditation in such detail and even though I’ve never tried hard enough to meditate before because I didn’t think I could do it; you’ve really made me want to try it properly for the for the first time. Thanks so much ❤

Listen to him. Everything he says is how it works, and make sure to ask for absolute clarity, guidance, and protection from the divine, while meditating. Work with the God energy only (whatever God is for you) don't work with guides or "angels" because you don't know what's out there pretending to be your guide or angel. Go to the source directly.

Seeing you speak from a higher pov and awareness inspires me to get back to meditation. Thanks for the video

Thanks for this. I've been meditating for 4 years, just simple mindfulness but, I've been slowly going deeper in my understanding. I've only recently started looking into OBE's. Two members of my family seem to have them involuntarily at times of sickness. Some people seem to have a gift. This video is very helpful I avoid the sensationalized videos on this topic. This one is grounded and helpful. Thank you!

Probably the most down to the point video ive ever seen. My wife died 7 months ago and told me in one of my meditations, that i need to raise my vibration to come in contact with her. Despite feeling that im utterly unable to, i can sense her through a weird electrical sound in my head nearly all the time (sometimes farther away, sometimes closer). Ive never been as confused in my life and i surely dont have the mental capacity that you have, but theres only one route for me to go... directly to her. Im not particulary interested in oob or mystical experiences, all i care for is my wife. That strong desire will lead me there but its not an easy road.

Starting this tonight 💯🪬

I love the way you put things mate. Very direct and clear, it's refreshing. Thank you.

I had an experience the other night and you just gave me the most important and comforting message I needed for this new journey I’m going through!

This is a really great video. Thank you for sharing. It really simplifies and explains the process thoroughly. I feel like I just needed a person to explain the process to me, and here I found this! Appreciate it, really!

Thank you❤

I started watching this video just out of curiosity. I became impressed with the many very correct comments and mindset you presented. I hope everyone interested in the subject and spiritual awakening will really listen to you. One thing I'd like to highlight: Anyone starting this spiritual journey driven by the wish for super-powers and effects is certainly doomed to failure. The Universe has control mechanisms that never fail. Consequences to using shortcuts can be severe (you mentioned some: People can end up mentally ill). Focus on each step and the wish for evolution as a being. All else comes in the time you are prepared for. Additionally, if you tried meditation and came to the conclusion it doesn't work at all for you, believe me, you are doing it wrong. Meditation is not sitting in lotus position and breathing alone. It is an actual mental discipline. You can sit in lotus position for years and not be meditating. Peace to all!

Appreciate your words… your words are real and genuine. Thank you

Everything in this video makes so much sense usually when I watch videos like this I resonate with a lot of things but not everything

Incredible video! The sincerity and the idea to prepare first before trying to do this sort of thing is what I enjoyed the most. Your focus and organization is great and I can see why you’ve come so far. I will be working on the prerequisites (life balance, simplistic meditation, etc) sir! Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you Ben, seen a few videos of yours. I really like your simple methods of explanations. I will certainly, use, this meditation technique. Warm Regards.

I really like when you said that if it's not happening for people maybe that's what's meant to be. Everyone's journey has different experiences and different things to be done. When my energies touched Manipura my awareness had a first major shift and I started to lucid dream spontaneously until I astral projected out of the lucid dream (Meditating in the lucid dream until the dream dissolved and I stood in the astral) It happened only once and there was no doubt because the difference in reality and energies was extreme. I talked to some beings that tried to help me, but this happened only once. And the biggest impression it left in my psyche was that I lost my attachment to this body because I experienced and connected with multiple layers of it. It brought a lot of ability to let go and surrender many habits and attachments and fears. After that the energies were able to go above the Manipura and Satori and awakening experiences happened spontaneously. I felt like looking at your video and it was truly the most down to Earth advice compared to any other. When I'm in a meditative state now I cannot bring myself to have that experience again I guess there is a feeling of not caring for it or not enough desire or reason. It was meant to happen there for me to transcend many things and move on. And it was not out of egoic desire it was just cause I felt curiosity and wanted to check it out and then just did it without thinking too hard. Keep up these videos! Keep them simple and remind people that there is work to be done. Not just the fun experiences. It's a fun but also very painful journey. Maybe the most painful but also most important.

Excellent Ben!

really appreciate the video, it's helping me get a bit more focus and understanding where I may be falling off with my habits and meditation. Really appreciate the effort here, and looking forward to implementing your advice

thank you for sharing! this is very sincere and useful! it's really a good reminder for someone like me who likes to look around, try a bit here and there, but ending up not having a consistent practice of meditation.

Amazing video Ben! Appreciate you sharing in such detail.

What stops me is the "vibrational state". After about 30-45 minutes of calm, deeply relaxed meditation, I'll get an extreme jolt of energy through my body, sometimes just my head. It feels like literally being electrocuted but without any pain. Stops the whole process immediately 😅

Thank you for helping in guiding people.

Ohhh boy you actually gave me 2 answers I was looking for for a looonngg time. This has been happening since today I first started watching your videos you have gems here. You are awesome man! Thank you soo much for these videos!

Thank you brother of existence. I really needed this

In have seen many videos about mediation and none have given such good simpel and no nonsense advice about practice. I can say from my own meditation experience that your guidance is spot on and I wish I had heard it sooner.

You explain the whole process so well, thank you for that

thank you

Thanks for your advice, Ben. I have been meditating on and off for several years, but i am ready to take it to the next level.

I really resonate with your directions on how to get to where you need to be to develop a full on experience. Thanks for this.

Absolutely brilliant brother thanks for taking the time to really go in depth on how to do this . Very valuable stuff . words cant describe how grateful i am . Thank you thank you thank you!!!!✊️

Great work brother! Very well done! I have found that intent works best for me.. With intent, all comes to you.. Intent means you have to have pure inner thoughts to enter.. In t ent. "In" for inner, the "T" is for Thoughts and the "Ent" is for Enter. Once you're in you're in. You ask with pure intent and you receive truths to that which you asked. It is amazing the knowledge I have been shown. My youtube channel here is a few years old. I gave it the name I chose just off the top of my head. I figured I watched my surroundings while in public and I always spoke up when I seen unjust things occurring.. So, for several years I just used footage of my walks with my dogs in the area and whatever I could from my dash cam for driving video content. I record my every walk with my dogs as I soon discovered after only a few walks with my first dog, many years back, that people are iffy and tend to lie in order to justify themselves. So. I was, at one point, a bit discouraged to go outside. I watched a few shows on the TV in regards to law enforcement and in these shows I seen cops wearing cameras so that no one could lie about police brutality, etc. A light turned on in my head and I decided to get a GoPro with the chest mount, wore that till it didnt work anymore. I was able to rig an old phone and case with some old GoPro mounts so I can use an old phone instead. Works great. All my subscribers are from those days.. I might have a few friends and family watching me these days. I just recently switched my content posting into high gear and started to share what I have always known as for some reason it seems like the time is now.. So I started a "Knowledge" series on my channel here and after I post a few more videos I'm going to be looking to network with other content creators in order to further the reach of this knowledge as I will then have a few videos for new subscribers to check out and some old ones if they feel the need.. I never knew the significance of the term " The Watcher's " until just recently.. Soooo.... Um.. Yeah But, mostly in my new videos I discuss some stuff in regards to hidden knowledge. Ways to access this knowledge and so on. My videos are mostly recorded "freestyle", I just yammer on and on, no script. Sort of like my comment here, yeah........ I just do my best to put it down in a way that people can innnerstand. I have studied and looked for "Work" long enough to now know it's His Inner Self Who Offers Real Knowledge. HIS WORK. His Work is all around us, all we ned to know is easily accessed if one truly wants to know and their intent on knowing is pure they simply need to ask.. Like you said in your video. But one need be carful in what it is they're asking for. Wonderful video. I hope someday to have my quality up where your's is at. As for now, it is what it is until I say otherwise. What I Say Does Onto Me. What I Say Energizes. Wisdom and Wise just unfolded in front of your eyes. Be well my Brother, be blessed. Love to all is the answer thats best. Keep doing great things Mr Smith. Lets break em out of the Matrix together. Lol. Just a lil jab at your last name. The Matrix...... Mr Smith...... Anyway.. Hahahahaha.. I subscribed to your channel here, as I know I was shown it for a reason. For real though. I and I are guiding lights, best believe it. Lets shine bright, the more lights the brighter the shine. Don't Be Afraid. Things are about to become confusing for most.. ✌ P.S. I have not yet started my networking campaign and you're the first content creator I have reached out to. Something about you... You already know!! We ALL know!! Most just dont know they know.. Yah know?

Thank you Ben

Ben, thank some good basic fundamental knowledge. Many blessings to you on your path.

Brilliant ❤

You have explained it so beautifuly, thank you very much Ben!❤❤❤

Thank you for giving back to your community Ben! This was incredible… I just want everyone to know this process is unique for each and every being! I often leave my body and do lots of journeying. My method includes none of these techniques besides stillness and intention (with of course purity of heart, you won’t get anywhere without that) All I want to add is dont over think it! This is a very yin energy practice, which doesn’t have rules or specific guidelines, it’s omnipresent and all encompassing. I induce these states within my being in all sorts of positions, places, and during multiple different activities. I would say tho that yes you need a very strong connection with your team on the other side to make these trips and bring back any wisdom of significance. Each persons journey and wisdom will be unique, just remeber to breathe and go inward with no expectation. Happy journeying amazing beings of the universe! I pray for your expansion to be blessed!

Grats you deserve all the success youre attracting ❤

I’ve had a real time, awake OBE once playing music when I was 15. I realize now, it’s because that was the only time where everything was activated, and I wasn’t in my own way. I’ve seen people say meditation is unnecessary, but I agree with you, at the end of the day, if this is real, control (without interference) would always be step 1.

Brilliant! Thanks Ben

Sending much ❤ & gratitude for teaching us such an easy way to meditate.. Been doing it regularly for 2 yrs & never knew that you breath in & OUT thru the nose! I was under the impression that u breath in thru nose & out thru mouth! Learned alot so quickly..Thank u, from my 💜2 yours..❤🙏😘🤗2all😇

Im nearly sure my last obstacle is the urge to move, its been an issue for ages now.. it would come after about 40mins of meditation and i would always give in to it. Now i know to fight it, thanks man, brilliant video

70 hours of meditation is nothing brother to come up with these realizations. You really have put your serious into it.

Great video! I really look forward to all your content. Thank you!

this video is the only thing that ive found feasable to acheive OBEs. thanks for making this tutorial

Thank you for this information! ❤️

I just recently began my awakening. I tried to astral project very early on for curious reasons because im a lucid dreamer. After allot of clearing work amd karma i figured out the foundation the control of the mind body aoul connection is the biggest thing. Still havnt successful done it yet. Love n light to all ❤

some really great tips here! good explaining as well!

Really well made video

So glad I come across your video, thank you

Thank You for such a powerful beautiful vast guidance!!! I agree with everything from self-realization, self love and care to strong relationships with God, yourSelf - Body, Mind and Spirit! Best fulfilling and empowering experiences to All on the spiritual journey! Namaste! Love, Peace and Light to All Souls in this beautiful Universe!!! ✨🤍✨💎✨🙏🤗

Omg you are f**king AMAZING! Love when people are their true selves! Thank you!🙏🥰❤️😀

Go on Ben…great video.

I have done dmt many times and you really make it sounds like it’s that

So true about meditation as the base. I meditated so much I felt like I would astral travel during meditation. Then I had my break through

I usually use theta binaural beats with earbuds, put about an hour to hour and a half timer on my phone, then do straight mindfulness meditation while putting most my focus on the air sensations coming in n out of my nose. I find theta binaural beats (4hz is best) gets the brain to the low theta frequency faster allowing complete subconscious mind control (it's called brain entrainment. Online sites say it's dangerous if u have mental/neurological disabilities, but that's only true if u do the higher waves like gamma. Alpha, Theta and Delta r all good n safe. Delta for dreamless sleep. I like my dreams/visions tho. lol). Awesome video by the way :)

This has been a fantastic video. Thank you! Ive been trying on and off for a year or so and just the other night....i got very subtle vibrations all over but didn't know what to do with it, so i over thought it and lost it. But im understanding a lot more about AP with this video. Thank you friend

Really agree with your first point. I’ve felt myself slipping into it and then my heart rate increases and I get scared. You have to be ready

You found "YOUR" key, if a person isn't ready, they won't be prompted or even influenced. Hope this works for others too

Thanks

This is tye best .very good ty so much

Thankyou I found this very helpful and I like your no nonsense approach 👍 I am going to try now and make adjustments to my normal meditation 😊 😀 ☺️

Wow thank you very much for all your information you just reassured me I was doing it Right.. 💯 but you also taught me so much more than I can possibly learn on any KZfaq and that's why I want to thank you very much.. you changed my way of thinking

Thank you so much for the advice ...i recieved it at the right time ...Stay blessed 🙏

Something that has helped me in a huge way was taking a pineal gland product called Third Eye from Tria alchemy… After following so much of the misinformation on the Internet how to get the gland to function the way that it is supposed to. But this uses medically proven ingredients to help with its function. I also noticed quitting cannabis for a while made a massive difference.

Great advice and teachings. Thank you. 💕🌏🔥🙏

Hi Ben, it's very interesting to me to come across you! I am a higher plane projector, I have been meditating on and off since 2000, but only in the last few years have I used my history in meditation to bring everything all on board. I have studied with Sri Amit Ray over the past few years, this was for me the opening of the Astral/higher plane. It's so interesting to see where you are as it all resonates, there's infinite gateways to explore, I try to explore 1 particular gateway for 7 days and journal it, I am also mapping gateways to higher planes on google maps if I find vortexes and energetic gateways. I am thinking that this may benefit people in the future when projection techniques become more mainstream and when natural ability returns. I have just started to construct some of my own information to put out there to benefit people...hopefully. Good luck with he channel and it's nice to hear familiar words :)

Thank you for this video, I feel a deep turning point upon listening to these principles again. Iv tried astral projection many times and have only reached a state where I feel my body being pulled up, but only my hands rise(while laying down). Iv been practicing meditation for many years although I seem to oscillate between being as the ego and being beyond the ego, like having my head above the water for a while, lasting anywhere between a few months to a year. It’s like there’s a point where I’m subconsciously inspired or pulled to rise again. In these periods of time I’m more likely to practice meditation and have reached very deeply. My deepest meditation was similar to what you described at 34:30 , where my whole body was asleep or I ‘forgot’ my body. My perception of my self disappeared as well as my sense of space and time. I wasn’t in a specific location or any at all I just was, yet I wasn’t. It was paradoxical for my mind to understand it. I seemed to have stayed in this state for only a little while after I checked the time but I didn’t experience time passing. Do you relate to this description? Also I would like to ask, do you think it would be possible that pre-lifetime contracts with higher beings could prevent us from achieving such things like astral projection?

I love your videos😊

I could say that Ben has downloaded some serious stuff from the source.. great video.. thanks for this

What we need is to clarify our minds of the programming of the culture we are born in. Our natal family is the key to clarify our mind. Whatever things we are programmed to do, came from our natal family... Our automatic (ego) reactions are what we came here to resolve; those are our idols. We must always remember that whenever we feel fear (anger, sadness, grief etc.), shame and guilt, we let the ego control our mind. We are feeding the ego by feeling those emotions... we must take back the control of our mind, if we do not somebody else will... Spirit will never tell you "do not go left" but "go right". Spirit always guide towards love but the ego always guide using fear and all of its variants.

Great information. I appreciate you sharing your experiences. I must have had some ‘beginners luck’ when I first started meditating… I was having OBE’s a lot and was loving it, but unfortunately it would startle me so much that I’d fall right out of it.

Great Advise, sorta makes sense...

Great Video.. Th Ankh You for your time...

Instantly felt a connection with Ben.

Excellent and thank you for explaining the technicalities. Honestly, this concept seems to be explained only in riddles, like an old master might hah

Love it my guy. Thank you so much

Itching. I always get itchy when I start to get deep into my meditation. Thought it was just me, so I appreciate you pointing that out specifically.

The best❤❤❤

This all seems very complicated, 😆 monks spent decades doing this, but now we have binaural beats and I find its the way to get you to the vibrational state and out of body. (Bob Monroe)

Brother,thats amazing how you understand all that....darius J. Wright on youtube teaches how to leave the body also...so intresting....Thank you for your contrabution to humanity!

Good video man

I'm glad I found this channel because it seems that I find more value in YT channels that are not high-production and heavily edited. I won't say that those channels have no value because I do believe that most of the creators are genuine, but for me personally, I find them to be annoying and distracting at times. I'm going to try to limit my comment here because I have so much to say as someone who has consciously projected since childhood, but not always regularly. Also, the projections seem mostly to be in the etheric realm which looks like a slightly off-kilter replica of the physical world and only a few looked very different and were obviously taking place in a higher realm. It seems that I will have a spurt of doing it at will for a few months in a row and then nothing for the next ten years. I have theories about why that would be long-winded, but generally, it's similar to your comments about not being spiritually ready for the next phase and not being able to contain the ego. What I really found valuable is the nitty-gritty advice on how to meditate because I never have been a consistent meditator. All my projections have been done while going to sleep when I was not very tired. And often I find it difficult to control what I do and where I go. I think this is because of the lack of mental stability or discipline to focus and it sounds like meditation is the way to resolve this. Projecting sounds very exciting if you can do it from meditation rather than sleep. I never even considered it until I read Jurgen Ziewe. A couple of your suggestions really piqued my interest. The first is the meditation position. I always thought it was nonsense that you can only meditate in the lotus position. I had to laugh when you mentioned trying to ignore an itch as if you're in military boot camp because I did go through Marine Corp boot camp and we had to sit cross-legged without moving or fidgeting for hours sometimes and because I am bow-legged, it was very painful. Sometimes my legs would go numb and it took a while before I could stand up. I do think the position on the knees is preferable. It's similar to the Japanese zazen position, and I used to do that when I was a martial artist, but that position can really take a toll on your feet and ankles and it looks like using a stool would solve that. Another thing you mentioned that makes sense to me is the shallow breathing. Anytime I try to do a guided meditation, the instructor is having me take a million deep breaths, and I don't see how I can possibly go into deep meditation like that. I think it's fine to do a few deep breaths in the beginning, but I always instinctively slow down my breathing to the point that I'm almost not breathing. So I'm glad someone else mentioned that. Anytime I do try to meditate, it's sitting in a chair, but eventually, I will start to slump over and it seems to take a lot of concentration to keep my back straight. So I'm going to try the kneeling position with a stool or a pillow and see how that works. So thanks for the practical advice and so much for me not being long-winded.

Amazing vid

My darling keep going 🚀 I adore your videos 💋

Thank you!

The stool is an amazing tool! I’m not flexible enough for most padmasana.

exquisite video, please allow me to add on what you have already said here. you have nailed the whole video, its 100% true, but there is something missing and if you dont recognize it (it is easy to overlook), you will end up in a deadend or struggle needlessly. celibacy. now hear me out before you pick up stones: both the buddhist and the yogic framework outline in their preliminary steps celibacy. in the 8 yogic limbs, the first two are about the do's and don'ts, which include "brahmacharya". in the latter stages comes prana-yama, this is not breath mastery, this is energy mastery. with celibacy comes the awareness of prana or chi and the ability to control it. chi guides all 6 senses (the 6th being the mind in eastern thought). with prana (energy) yama (mastery), you become able to do pratyahara - the withdrawal of this energy from the mind. this is the means by which you achieve true single pointed concentration. in buddhism, there is the equivalent. Buddha outlined it in the "anapanasati" suttas. that word can be broken down into its subcomponents: a/na - in/out or on/off pana - pali for the sanksrit word prana i.e. chi or energy sati - awareness as one guy put it forth in the daobums community, that sutta is NOT about focusing on the breath, but the flacutations of prana within the body. in latter stages, you experience the phenomenon known as "pitti" simply translated as rapture, which is an energetic phenomena which overtakes your entire body - its described as a lotus fllower fully submerged in cold water and being touched from all angles. its goosebumps just much stronger, full body vibrations. this also aligns with what precedes an astral projection. then, when all this happens, you enter "jhana" or samadhi. anyway, the key ingredient in any system to build up to this, is perfect chastity. in the christian framework, this has been hid behind the allegory of the crucifixion. if you keep your cristos (your seed, your "anointing") within, it travels up the 33 vertebrates of your spine, piercing open the 7 seals (of revelation; these are the 7 chakras), goes into your golgotha ("place of skull") and dies there. two sayings: "as christ descended so must he ascend" and "the seed must die so that the tree can be born". this is the "mystery", it is the means by which amrita is produced in the "Most High" - your skull. its internal alchemy, the taoists have it encoded in their neidan scriptures. keeping your cristos = accepting Christ = being celibate = overcoming serpent, which represents lust this you find in all religions. and thus the statement "no one comes to the father except through cristos and it crucified in golgotha", is an universal truth. its not sectarian or bound to 1 religion. on buddha's night of enlightenment (so the story goes), he was attacked by mara. mara's final attack and strongest attack was to send 3 naked women. celibacy really, truly is the key here. do NOT dismiss it, do NOT take it lightly. without amrita, for males, without spermatogenesis, you can not refine your mind to the point of being able to do proper meditation. meditation is not supposed to be hard. "the pure in heart will inherit the kingdom of heaven" - in ancient texts, heart is equal to mind, purity of mind means that you have a mind which is not plagued by random thoughts - its a still mind - kingdom of heaven is the christian term for jhana or samadhi i hope i could give you more perspective on this!
