So I’m big into astral travel , I told my dad about a method I use when in lucid dreams .I said to him if you go through a wall in a lucid dream you will enter the astrals. So he did just that in his first ever lucid dream and he said it changed his life .He said he spoke full length conversations with beings over there who told him they passed away on earth and he even spoke a what looked like a wise monk to him .

@@iminthejar Musashi spent last years of his life in a cave in meditation as a hermit. Buddhism does teach existence of other realities. Therefore it is perfectly possible that he indeed said that. Although it is likely that he said "realm" or "plane" but it is translated into English as "planet" here.

It was an incredible experience, and I was deeply moved. I have been verifying the existence of spirituality through various means, trying to transform conceptual things into practical feelings. It was also in this process that my spirit was almost in a state of shock, and great sadness and anxiety surrounded me from time to time. I have not been able to balance spiritual and material reality well. I long for a very shocking experience, I need this. What is certain is that I will always persist on the spiritual path. Thank you for your video, and I look forward to your sharing more.

What you say makes perfect sense and is in alignment with my few glimpses I have had personally over the last 8 years or so of having a less than regular practice and I understand now that I have limited myself in the fact that I have not been consistent enough and had intense uncontrolled blips of experiences that you described. I just found you yesterday and have given me the insight I need to keep going and to make it a priority. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience I have been spontaneously astral projecting since I was little. I didn't have anyone too explain it to me at that time. I think the curiosity kept me searching to try to understand what was happening to me. I also felt that I was never alone during these astral travels that something was guiding me. Now that I am older and added meditation to my practice I was able to be fully present of spiraling out of my body looking at my true essence light body and how unlimited my spirit truly is. I could go anywhere with just a thought and I did. I have been to other planes, through the cosmos. Now I am aware of so much more and very grateful of my connection to the higher planes. I also feel that this is all for a greater purpose.

Before hand I didn’t think meditation was for me… also after the first 3 weeks I was still stagnant, but getting past the threshold of the conscious mind was so worth it! The colors and then visuals I see are out of this world!

Wow! Absolutely phenomenal, I was hanging on your every word completely and utterly amazed at your experience. And by the way, there is no doubt in my mind this happened to you, just by listening to you I can tell you are a truthful person and you just want to share your experiences and teach people. Something not as profound but similar started to happen to me in January this year. And without going into too much detail it has made me realise that I am not just my physical body, I believe this anyway, but recent experiences have solidified those thoughts. How can I put this, I am eagerly researching meditation now as I believe this is the gateway to these experiences, as well as astral projection which is what I believe is happening to me. This might sound crazy but I need to escape from time to time from my physical body, because I am wracked with illness, pain, weakness and disability. I feel if I can tap into this energy and these experiences it will improve my quality of life. I can’t wait to watch some more of your videos. All the best - Neil (UK)

I expirienced this many, many times. I’m a yogi and I basically live outside of this body I know I’m not this body I have experienced, it one time I went out of my body and I felt as if I was “home”, like truly home not home on earth, but really home in the truest sense of the word. Ever since that moment I completely dropped my worries my troubles anything ailing me and there’s no more fear for “death” as I have already died 3 times clinically and I’ve seen what happens when you “die” you don’t actually die your body may but you don’t, haven’t been the same since

I enjoyed listening to your experience, thank you for sharing. I find everyone's experiences fascinating. I'm now 50yrs old, but when I was 18 I had a NDE from alcohol poisoning which landed me in the hospital for 5 days. During the hospital stay, I had been out of my body and moving around the hospital going through walls and up through the ceiling but I didn't experience any spirits around me or see any lights or other dimensions. But when I was released from the hospital my first night home in my bed I had the most intense vibration go through my body it was quite frightening and overwhelming I felt like I was having a seizure while hearing multiple voices around me and hands touching me the pressure inside of me and the vibration I could feel every single atom that I am made of intensely vibrating and I shot out of my body up into the corner of my bedroom ceiling then to the hanging light in the middle of my room then up through the ceiling but again I don't remember seeing any lights just the sense of other energies around me that I couldn't see. Since that night for many years at random I have experienced the same OBE it comes and goes usually when I'm laying in bed about to go to sleep but I've never experienced it through meditation. I've come to a time in my life where I wish to delve deep into meditation as I've always felt I'm right on the edge about to leap off but can't seem to get past the vicinity of my body once I'm out.

There is a short cut. I know for a fact that I needed that short cut. I did not put in the work like he did. He spent many years developing the sight. I spent many years reversing the blinders. But I never had a human guide. Part of me wishes I did. It took me 20 years to return to zero, at which point I knew myself. Anyway, psychedelics will, if you are ready, give you the flight to elsewhere you seek. IF you are really seeking without bias. They WILL give you a high.okay. But a high is pointless. A high is masturbation. A high means nothing for those who want to know the truth. I recommend learning who you are first. At some point, once you know yourself, you'll be ready. Take the psychedelics. And wait. If you're ready, you will get the answers you seek. I did get what I was after: confirmation of the existence of spirit. This video speaks to me. He's right. His read on existence is, no doubt, stronger and more authentic than mine. But I was desperate. And desperation will send you to places you may not be ready for. Forgive yourself. Know yourself. You'll be ready. May you find your path beyond the fourth wall.

everything you described for some reason, resonated with me. It's as if i have felt all of this as well, and experienced it as you have, although I am not fully conscious that I did. I have had the numbness of body, felt as if my legs and arms were invisible. I have seen, in some other realm ?? downloads of information, symbols, faces, patterns, pictures in the middle of the night, perhaps during Theta??? I am lucid, can almost interact... when i try and intellectualize the visions.. they disappear, when i try to communicate with them, they stick around longer, maybe 30 seconds, but i haven't been able to summon them reliably, nor understand them at all. I do feel my body go into this numb state for maybe 1-3 minutes, but then i will be laying on my arm, or head propped in a goofy way.... and the discomfort pulls me out of the vision.i always write down the experience in a bedside journal upon awakening, to see if there is a connection to the real world... but nothing yet. Anyways... I am working at making stronger connections through your informative videos.

Wow you touched source energy. I know what you mean , i think, or don't think, the ego distracts us, separation, defence, attack, judgement, so forth. When I had long 3 years of Covid, then long Covid, Histamine intolerance I lost my physical capacities, I enter an altereed state beyond physical. I don't need external stimuli to induce this state, I am sipping the nectar of consciousness, as my body is numbed out of interfering. I had no choice, this was not consenting, I had to surrender, which I am good at, from decades of being targeted, chased, I know from time to years, to turn and face what I can not overcome from will, anxiety, worry , doing it all alone. I had to join God consciousness and surrender my will. This is when the doors open. For me I feel we, that we me and God source, divine, can infect, induce a connection of profundity with Gaia's heart beat, her breath, Cosmic wisdom. To my knowing, experience, the Divine is flow, she/he is neither weak nor strong, it is the intensity that splits you open of both. I see such beauty in the smallest look, sound, wings of a butterfly that I am shook by the frailness and magnificence, vastness the beauty of the Earth. I am in hope when I sense humans want to be in the flow, the river, they are done, with defence, attack, judgement, pursuit of dreams lesser than our souls. We are becoming who we are. I was led to the epiphany that led me to the spud monkey effect,"when a certain number of people evolve, the entire human race begins to evolve. We don't know how many people are needed but we know that's how it works.” One expands, this effects the many.

Ben, I love hearing about your story! I'm curious to hear about your commentary, and maybe your mentor could shed some light on what was going on with as I had some experiences I could not understand. My first time, what I assume to be, astral projecting happened suddenly. I laid down and began to breathe long and steady, followed by consciously relaxing my body. I would relax my body, whether a toe, arm, or some obscure part of the body, got into a rhythm and blacked out. I suddenly become lucid, and I was observing the world through energy sensations. As I was observing my surroundings in this lucid state, all of a sudden I heard this slow, tangible oscillating waveform on my right side moving closer to my head. I thought nothing of it as I observed it, and the oscillation increases in frequency, goes across my face, goes far left of my head and swings back, increasing to the point of sounding like a flatline tone, going in to my left ear, then into the center of my head (pineal gland location). From here, I tangibly hear this violent shaking as if a train is tearing through saran wrap, and I cannot feel my body, nothing. At this point, I opened my eyes wide due to the sudden event shocking my system. I could still see the room as pure as you seeing the room around you while reading this comment, and I was floating up into the air while laying down and looked at my hands in astonishment as I was transparent! I look right and can see my dresser eye level with me, and I sit up in the air. I continued upward and by this point, I thought I was being abducted by aliens, and in my thoughts, was begging they put me back in my body. Then my etheric body gently settled down into my physical body, and I laid back onto my pillow. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I suddenly had all sensation of my body again, and I sat up and gasped for air. Also, for multiple days, I kept having the sensation at night where I thought I was going to suddenly leave my body again. I had to stop meditating for a while because every time I tried I would start feeling like I was going into the sensation again. I think I was traumatized because I wasn't sure what was happening. Have you ever hear an oscillating noise that behaved like this? Have you had an experience similar to this? Another time in the future when I was back into practice, I was intuitively going through this deep meditation, and I was basically moving through what felt like veils for about 2-3 hours. It felt like this energetically strenuous movement akin to a snake coming out of its leather-like egg. As soon as I would move through one layer, I would have to move through another layer. I kept doing this until I got into this kind of rhythm, and suddenly this intense vibration was going through my body. I watch myself open my eyes, and at this point, it feels like I am watching myself in 3rd person, but through my own eyes. I was watching my body freak out, get up, and move on its own like it was trying to figure out how to bring me (my ego?) back. As I was vibrating, I couldn't remember my name, matter of fact, I could not even speak. I was blankly observing my body frantically find a solution. I was not scared, It was like I was feeling through observing the fear of my body if that makes sense. My body got up and started walking towards my living room couch where my cat, Cuddles, was laying. My hand started petting her, and after about 15-20 seconds, I spat out the word "cat", then kept petting saying "cat" multiple times, then suddenly I said "Cuddles the cat". Eventually, I was able to get my name out, and start making coherent sentences about myself. I kept adding more to what I was saying until eventually the vibrations subsided after a few minutes. I believe I hit some weird egoless state my body wasn't ready for. Lastly, on the flooding of energy that went through you, I was practicing intense grounding and had found tobacco helps with this immensely (I am not advocating people use tobacco as I no longer use it for this purpose. I want to have a pure experience like ones above). I noticed tobacco's intense grounding effect works most effectively through one massive pull. After a couple small runs over a few months (I would only do this once a month), I felt confident enough to do the pull. The technique, as you exhale after holding it for what is bearable, and in a sitting position, relax as much of your lower half of your body as you can in one go while relaxing along with the exhale, and keep going as deep as you can go, complete surrender. What happened next was the most intense experience I have ever had related to energy in the physical plane. When you described the pipe, that was my experience at my perineum and that pipe expanded to the size of CD. All of a sudden, I am hit with this flood of energy coming from my crown to my root and entire body. The energy is so intense that my legs, arms, and body are stuck being pushed down to what feels like actual water from a waterfall. If you have ever seen DBZ where they sink into the ground from powering up, that is how I would describe what was happening to me. Like this giant magnet attached me to the earth, I was stuck like this for a few minutes, and was extremely terrified that I was stuck because it was not slowing down. Eventually the flow slowed, and I was able to take my hands off my knees.

Thanks so much for sharing these experiences🙏 I wouldn’t want to go into too much detail over here, in case I don’t explain myself correctly, but it sounds like you have reached some brilliant states! To some degree, everyone will have totally varied experiences and so it can be hard to fully understand them and it’s actually not always necessary to try and understand them either. But with regards to your first one - I totally understand the fear element. It can be truly terrifying. My advise is slightly dependent on a belief in the Divine, so if you don’t have that, then of course just dismiss this advise - I always connect with God/The Divine and ask only to be given the experiences that I’m able to bear - this way I know that, whatever comes my way, be it heaven or hell, I can handle it. Too many people have wound up in Psychiatric wards because the pushed beyond their limits. I’m not saying this is what you have done by the way, but it may remove some of the fear and worry that you have experienced. It sounds like you’re doing amazingly well and I really wish you all the best on your journey home 🙏

I Was laying in my bed practicing the learnt routines where i was consciously repeating the affirmations like „my legs feel heavy, my eye lids are getting heavy as lead“ and so on and suddenly in my right ear i heard an increasingly louder getting sound like a turbine or the sound fx swooshes 😅 prior to this i heard a little kracking sound like a little bone in the ear was breaking. I instantly was shocked and opened my eyes because of fear. I read in the book that it could be dangerous not getting back and beeing imprisoned in that state. I tried it a few days later and exactly the same thing happened. Unfortunately since then, i never tried again, now I’m 47 😅 and i have the feeling i wasted lots of time. Today I stumbled upon Ben‘s awesome channel and i am looking forward to start meditation again.

I appreciate you sharing this. You've answered a question I've had about interacting with others in this plane. It seems though that communication is different as you didn't know for sure the identity of the life that you were interacting with... Or were you not for sure for other reasons until you spoke with the person on the phone.?.

Yes, I wasn’t sure what ‘it’ was at the time, as it didn’t assume a human form. The plane was mostly invisible other than light, so there was a lot to take it.

Hey man, thanks so much! My teacher used to say to me “alcohol is a fools game” He’s absolutely right, but I didn’t listen much back then😂In my teenage years I was a pretty heavy weekend drinker, so I know what it’s like, but nowadays I have a 2 drink limit. It does nothing good for us and certainly has negative effects on your spiritual work. If you find limiting alcohol to 2 drinks hard, then maybe going totally sober is the way forward for you. Wishing you all the best whatever you decide🙏

@bensmithreal
@bensmithreal 11 ай бұрын
It is a real thing, in fact we are the designers of our life as it is now! Our karma plays a part, but that coincides with the law of attraction. Soul mates aren’t as much as a thing as they’re made out to be. Two souls may be incredibly close and deep in human love, maybe even have a close bond in one form or another in another life, but the difference between human love and Divine love is incalculable. There’s nothing wrong with that either, but the destination is God-consciousness, everything outside of that is experience. Great questions 🙏

I get to this really subtle breath but it just sort of makes me breathless and eventually I gasp for air which breaks the meditativeness. So just get to really subtle breath and wait there for a long time? I just get visuals which relate to how much of a trance I’m in kind of blue and luminous orb like visuals. I’m interested in achieving Astral travel but more than that a full Cessation of consciousness (Nirvana). I’ve had one where I dissolved into a black hole and reality rebooted. Also used to be able to feel Piti in the nervous system and experience bliss but no longer, just a subtlety enjoyable feeling of deep relaxation now. What are your thoughts? Did you achieve Jhana yet?
@bensmithreal
@bensmithreal 7 ай бұрын
It sounds like you’re still getting some great depth. In terms of becoming breathless, my advice would be try not to manufacture a very shallow breath, you’ll find that at some stage or another it will naturally become shallow as the your body-consciousness begins to close down. When it happens like this, it will feel effortless and you’ll find the body can sustain itself with barely any air. If you push it too early, it can feel slightly forces and you will feel breathless. My advice would be to continue to gently push yourself further in whatever meditation you are doing. The blue orbs and overall deep calm are a great sign of progress brother 🙏 Ps - I have not reached Janna, but my teacher has.

It’s a great question, but one that is almost impossible to articulate. I had heard stories of spiritual teachers responding to questions like this with the analogy “you’ll never be able to know the smell of a new flower with words, you have to smell it yourself”. I never understood that, but now I do. The closest I can get is that it was similar to being in space. Everything was incredibly big and I felt incredibly small in comparison.

Hello, if you don’t already, the tongue should be placed at the roof of the mouth. If you say the letter ‘L’ where the tongue touches, it should just gently rest there. This sometimes helps, but not always. Other than this, it’s advisable to learn to ‘accept’ and ‘let-go’ of all of these distractions. Sometimes things like this come and sometimes not. Often it is actually a creation of the lower self in order to deter you. Simply keep letting go and don’t spend time dwelling on it - it does pass. Hope this helps🙂

Ego is not your enemy. Your mind is ego, your body is ego, that is why they are not yours. The new age today are teaching us to control the ego, to fight the ego, to ignore it, but the truth is, the Ego is much more than we believe it is. The Ego itself is as grand as the universe before you. It is the love and suffering you go through in life. It is the light and dark you are taught to believe existed. It is life and death on earth. It is the most beautiful thing, as well as the most scariest thing to exist. It is the most misunderstood thing existed. Someday, we will understand more about the Ego. What I share is less than 1% of what the Ego is. What 99% of the people that believe they understood the Ego, knew far less.

Problem with visualization is you remain in mind, and keep spinning the wheel of mind, it takes effort, and ultimately it gives some concentration ability but you are just switching mental chatter for mental visualization. If you switch to for example breath it's already there, it does its own thing, if you focus on that with effortless effort you'll go underneath mind. Then go further, stay with the feeling 'I am' .

You’ve bought up a great point man, he has warned me many times about siddhis and giving them too much importance etc. Obviously the ego is ready to latch onto anything like this and take it for itself. Although I wouldn’t say my experience was a Siddhi as such. Teachings like Goenkas and also Zen teach you to ignore experiences and not chase them, but tbf in some cases it’s essential to have a desire in order to carry you deeper. A very careful balance is needed for sure.
