Altered States of Conciousness
Last night I had the most amazing experience I have ever had. I finished talking with a friend about different views on philosophy, and I saw the world in a completely different light.
After that conversation, I tried meditation for the first time. At first nothing was happening, until I decided to see myself in a third person perspective, instead of seeing the world through a normal first person perspective. It was all imagination, but I was able to fine-tune it to the point where I truly did see above myself. Then I closed my eyes, and felt a strange pulling force, which felt alot like a rollercoaster. I felt as though I was above my body, somehow. It was exhilerating, especially since I had just had a very deep conversation about the power of the human mind.
Anyhow, I was full conscious, and I decided to play with this altered state. I couldn't control the out of body experience, and couldn't maintain it for very long. I tried again, starrting with seperate parts of my body. I succeeded in making my right arm "dissapear". It was as if it never existed.
I got out of my bed, walked around, and maintained the blocking of my arm in my head.
I am an actor, so I decided to use this in an acting sence. I convinced myself that I was on mushrooms, and immediately my perceptions were changing. I saw things shifting around, and I felt extremely light. I looked at myself in the mirror, and it looked as though I was made of rubber.
Then I consciously decided to stop. It was freaking me out alot.
I tried to sleep, but the possibilities of this enhancing my acting excited me too much.
Sadly, I have not been able to enter this state again. I have no idea how to re-enter it, and every attempt I have made has been worthless. I'm desperate to do it again.
I want to know if anyone else has had an experience like this, and if they were able to bring it back. I would also like some tips on how to do it again, mostly because I want to use it on stage.
