Can you change my username to "awake" without the quotes?

Remember it will respond based on how you treat it through your initial perception and beliefs about it.

Make sure you correct them first or you could have a very messy experience on your hands.

One night earlier after listening to Genpo Roshi's Path of the Human Being, I went to lay down in my bed.

Instead of my usual thinking before sleep, my mind was quiet.

Much like Eckhart's tale, I heard the words "let the universe in through your chest cavity" and like a vortex, i felt this surge of what I can only describe as a "powerful neutrality" come into my body, and I began to feel the difference between that, and my body. But, then I began to worry and it went away.

The closest I had to this experience was one night after being high, I woke up with the same sort of feeling in my chest, except I was physically creating it. When I stopped, it went away, then it felt bad after that it was gone. This made me wonder if that feeling bad after it was gone meant it was bad that I stopped creating the feeling, or it was a bad aftereffect of creating the ffeling, meaning it was good that I stopped. I can still create that feeling in the same area (the one that seems like neutrality) but less powerfully.

I can only describe it as neutrality because it isnt good or bad, just a feeling.

Does anyone have similar experiences, that could shed some light on this?

Hello all here at TTB.

I come here in search of answers to my experience. I understand that a large part of this path is experiential, however my mind is still active, and I indulge in various materials to learn to control it.

I also know that having a support group of similarly minded people is going to help me on my journey, so I hope you all enjoy your time with me as much as I do!

Here is my first topic, I hope you can help me shed some light on this experience: http://www.thetaobums.com/What-happened-to-me-t9652.html
