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.
Ben, your clarity and especially your mention of the “real” reality resonates so much for me. I’m now 70, when aged 25 I lived an intense year of meditation that took me to the “real” world. I’m sure you know that in that place you have access to unending knowledge. In my experience the accessible power in that realm will just feed the ego if utilised and return you to the material, even the thought of what can be possible with the power removed me from this level of consciousness. Immersion in the love in this place is everything we need. No power, no ego, just the indescribable love which is everything that exists. My purpose till the end of this life is to live in compassion for others with the knowledge that we all have intense love at our core. Thank you
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.
@@lymphomasurviveThanks for the reference. Just looking the author up on Wiki. What an amazing man he was. Awesome to see he invented the Cardiac Catheter that saves so many lives. And EKG Leads and pacemaker leads. Interesting death also.
@@lymphomasurviveI dont know where my reply went but I found this information fascinating. “Bentov's invention was a seismographic device to record the heartbeat, in particular the aorta's reverberations. Marc Seifer described the results: "During normal breathing, the reverberations in the aorta are out of phase with the heartbeat and the system is inharmonious. However, during meditation and when the breath is held, the echo off the bifurcation of the aorta (where the aorta forks at the pelvis to go into each leg) is in resonance with the heartbeat and the system becomes synchronized, thus utilizing a minimum amount of energy. This resonant beat is approximately seven cycles per second, which corresponds not only to the alpha rhythm of the brain but also to the low-level magnetic pulsations of the Earth” Wiki
What a great aura you have shining through. You have sparked my interest into meditation again. With you this time I feel I have every confidence in my teacher.
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.
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!
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
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 ❤
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!
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.
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 ❤
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.
@@mysteriousvoidHi, thanks for your reply. Though im afraid, this is simply impossible. I cant imagine something solely in my mind, which i have the same feeling for as for my wife of 23 years. I can try but will never come close. I do meditate a lot these days but even this is far from the things Ben describes. I guess repetition is key… ive meditated for years and got into a deep state within minutes but the crazy psychic pressure from a year of caring for my deadly sick wife, seeing her suffering and ultimately dying and now have to live alone with all these memories and the grief… its 7 months now. I guess it takes time.
I dont know if this can help but if you can understand you are already your higher Self, and already one with your wife beyond this illusory 3D temporary experience and you relax and trust you are already connected you can do this. Its your removal of doubt fear and resistance in the form that this is hard thats in your way, and your awareness and acceptance of the default connection that already exists thats needed. Your vibration can be raised by thinking more beautiful joyful thoughts and loving yourself enough to have them. You deserve the best. You are an extension of God and a divine being in an experience. You are not the experience.
@@Light-Shift Sure, its always a matter of perspective… but as you said, shifting this perspective is not as easy as it sounds after 46 years of neglection, abuse, trauma and conditioning. But im meditating my way there… how long it might take.
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 😅
WOW YES YES THATS WHAT HAPPENS TO ME,I WAS VIBRATING REALLY HARD, I WAS LOVING IT,IT WAS LIKE IM GETTING SHOCKED BUT DIDN'T HURT😂MY LEGS KICK,AND TWICE IVE HAD ME COME OUT MY BODY AND BACK IN THAT'S LIKE A JOLT,IM FINDING THAT I DONT VIBRATE OR MUCH AT ALL ENLESS IM STONED OFF WEED!ON MY FIRST GO I WAS VIBRATING HARD,BUT NOW IM NOT SMOKING WEED ITS NOTHING LIKE WHEN YOUR LEAN,TRUST,I FIND WITH WEED IN YOUR SYSTEM. ITS SO MUCH MORE,I GET THERE STRAIGHT AWAY,IM SURE WEED HAS BEEN PUT HERE TO AMPLIFY IT
Have you ever tried TRE - trauma release exercises? Is it something similar? My first times with weed, I had those vibrations - after doing TRE - no more vibrations, unless too much weed.
Good stuff Ben, our spiritual journey needs to be pursued with wisdom. There are so many people out there throwing ideas out there with no wisdom and respect behind them. Keep up the good work my friend.
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 UA-cam posting.
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.
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!
It's EXHILARATING! During my first experience my only thought was "WOAH!". Can't really describe the vibrational sensation and energy pull. It's a supernova explosion of vibrations and yet...... beyond peaceful.
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!
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?
Thanks so much brother🙏 Totally agree with you with regards to intent. Absolutely crucial! Keep the content rolling and hopefully we can make little waves in our little corners of UA-cam 🌊
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.
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 Ben, seen a few videos of yours. I really like your simple methods of explanations. I will certainly, use, this meditation technique. Warm Regards.
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 🙏🏼
Hi Ben..It's exciting to find someone with your experience willing to accurately articulate some of the obstacles we face in self realization. I especially enjoyed your insights regarding the ego's agenda. If you could share more personal experience with your ego and self deception, I think it would help many to understand how to identify when the ego is shrewdly trying to influence us to protect it's own existence. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏
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! 😊❤
Good luck! I once heard something that may or may not be helpful to you: Water the grass and they'll overtake the weeds (as opposed to just trying to kill the weeds). Cheers!
Use a mantra in sikhi we use “waheguru” and u say it and focus on the sound. It shuts ur mind up. Then slowly it goes into ur breath and u progress much faster
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’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.
I did it. Seen spinning heads with multisided faces surrounded by shards of glass. Seen Jesus with a pistol. Then I forgot time was a thing and forgot my self. There was moment that came so sudden, like I was sitting in front of my flatmate at the kitchen table. It shocked me and I fell out of it. After that I looked at the flat group chat and they posted a picture and there was my flatmate sitting in the same clothes at the same seat. Wild.
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 :)
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.
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😇
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!
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.
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?
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 :)
every other video ive seen on here just always seems to be missing so much and not really helping at all, or just talking about lucid dreaming 😂. this video was really great tho and felt much more honest and real, actually from your own experiences. thanks
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)
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
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.
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!!! ✨🤍✨💎✨🙏🤗
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.
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.
My astral projection happened to me with no training or intention whatsoever. I was getting sleep paralysis in the build up to it and was getting crazy night sweats to the point where i got blood tests because i thought something was wrong with me. I've also been through undeniable poltergeist activity and friends would say these things only happen when I'm around. Songs would play in my head as a kid and i would go into my mums car and the song would start playing on the radio ( different songs on a daily occurrence ) and i constantly seen and still see the numbers 11:11. I have no idea if this all connected or not but thought I'd share anyways😂.
Definitely appreciate the way you went about this video. All the "guru" type UA-cam's come across as total douches. Totally comes across as a business instead of sharing and encouraging an enlightened state.
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!!!!✊️
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 so much for this. I wonder if you have any advice, related to meditation position, for me and me bad knee. I suffered a bad injury some years ago resulting in some plates and screws that hold my left knee together. I am still very active and am able to do most everything I always did, including aggressive mountain biking and motocross, so I am healthy, fit and capable however my left knee can only bend to about 90 degrees maximum.. so I cannot kneel or sit cross-legged. When I meditate I tend to sit in a chair but I worry that this limitation may be a big part of why I have not been so very successful in my practice. Given what I've told you about my knee is there anything you can suggest that I might try that you think would be a more effective position than sitting in a chair? For instance I have considered sitting in basic cross-legged position but with my two legs in front of me in a sort of diamond shape with heels touching. I'd be grateful for your ideas. Thank you for this video!
Hey dude, yeah feel free to play around with the position to suit you. Check out ‘Burmese pose’ on Google. Sounds like that may work for you. Sitting on a chair is perfectly good though (just keep your heels touching as this keep the energy flowing).
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!
what a time to be alive.
meh
Starting this tonight 💯🪬
How did it go? Any cool stories
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.
Awesome, thanks for sharing this 🙏
As a Thai who grown up in Buddhism environment. It’s amazed me how your method is so true, some insight are gems! I respect you as a teacher bro 🙏🙏🙏
The most down to earth, common sense advice I’ve heard for a long time. This world does want a quick fix for everything.
Thank you
Ben, your clarity and especially your mention of the “real” reality resonates so much for me. I’m now 70, when aged 25 I lived an intense year of meditation that took me to the “real” world. I’m sure you know that in that place you have access to unending knowledge. In my experience the accessible power in that realm will just feed the ego if utilised and return you to the material, even the thought of what can be possible with the power removed me from this level of consciousness. Immersion in the love in this place is everything we need. No power, no ego, just the indescribable love which is everything that exists.
My purpose till the end of this life is to live in compassion for others with the knowledge that we all have intense love at our core. Thank you
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.

@@lymphomasurviveThanks for the reference. Just looking the author up on Wiki. What an amazing man he was. Awesome to see he invented the Cardiac Catheter that saves so many lives. And EKG Leads and pacemaker leads. Interesting death also.
@@lymphomasurviveI dont know where my reply went but I found this information fascinating. “Bentov's invention was a seismographic device to record the heartbeat, in particular the aorta's reverberations. Marc Seifer described the results: "During normal breathing, the reverberations in the aorta are out of phase with the heartbeat and the system is inharmonious. However, during meditation and when the breath is held, the echo off the bifurcation of the aorta (where the aorta forks at the pelvis to go into each leg) is in resonance with the heartbeat and the system becomes synchronized, thus utilizing a minimum amount of energy. This resonant beat is approximately seven cycles per second, which corresponds not only to the alpha rhythm of the brain but also to the low-level magnetic pulsations of the Earth” Wiki
He is young in this life only. Clearly his soul has accumulated much wisdom over many lifetimes.
What a great aura you have shining through. You have sparked my interest into meditation again. With you this time I feel I have every confidence in my teacher.
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.
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!
Thanks for the comment, agree with lots of that 🙏
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
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 ❤
Thanks!
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!
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.
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 ❤
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.
Thank you. All the best for your journey 🙏
@@mysteriousvoidHi, thanks for your reply. Though im afraid, this is simply impossible. I cant imagine something solely in my mind, which i have the same feeling for as for my wife of 23 years. I can try but will never come close. I do meditate a lot these days but even this is far from the things Ben describes. I guess repetition is key… ive meditated for years and got into a deep state within minutes but the crazy psychic pressure from a year of caring for my deadly sick wife, seeing her suffering and ultimately dying and now have to live alone with all these memories and the grief… its 7 months now. I guess it takes time.
@@phillee8256sending love I’m sorry to hear this, she’s with you always she loves you. You are extremely strong never stop fighting that fight.
I dont know if this can help but if you can understand you are already your higher Self, and already one with your wife beyond this illusory 3D temporary experience and you relax and trust you are already connected you can do this. Its your removal of doubt fear and resistance in the form that this is hard thats in your way, and your awareness and acceptance of the default connection that already exists thats needed. Your vibration can be raised by thinking more beautiful joyful thoughts and loving yourself enough to have them. You deserve the best. You are an extension of God and a divine being in an experience. You are not the experience.
@@Light-Shift Sure, its always a matter of perspective… but as you said, shifting this perspective is not as easy as it sounds after 46 years of neglection, abuse, trauma and conditioning. But im meditating my way there… how long it might take.
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 😅
Haha, nice to know things are happening though🙏
@@bensmithreal
Very true
WOW YES YES THATS WHAT HAPPENS TO ME,I WAS VIBRATING REALLY HARD, I WAS LOVING IT,IT WAS LIKE IM GETTING SHOCKED BUT DIDN'T HURT😂MY LEGS KICK,AND TWICE IVE HAD ME COME OUT MY BODY AND BACK IN THAT'S LIKE A JOLT,IM FINDING THAT I DONT VIBRATE OR MUCH AT ALL ENLESS IM STONED OFF WEED!ON MY FIRST GO I WAS VIBRATING HARD,BUT NOW IM NOT SMOKING WEED ITS NOTHING LIKE WHEN YOUR LEAN,TRUST,I FIND WITH WEED IN YOUR SYSTEM. ITS SO MUCH MORE,I GET THERE STRAIGHT AWAY,IM SURE WEED HAS BEEN PUT HERE TO AMPLIFY IT
Have you ever tried TRE - trauma release exercises?
Is it something similar?
My first times with weed, I had those vibrations - after doing TRE - no more vibrations, unless too much weed.
@@hamidman6974 so R U sayin don't get rid of the trauma?coz I won't be doing that then??or did i read it wrong?🙏
I appreciate this level of honesty ❤
Good stuff Ben, our spiritual journey needs to be pursued with wisdom. There are so many people out there throwing ideas out there with no wisdom and respect behind them. Keep up the good work my friend.
Wow this was the best one yet. I especially appreciate the explanation of asking for what you’re ready to experience. Thank you Ben 💫
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.
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 UA-cam posting.
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.
Seeing you speak from a higher pov and awareness inspires me to get back to meditation. Thanks for the video
Appreciate your words… your words are real and genuine. Thank you
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!
Beautiful video , just pure information, inspired ❤
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
70 hours of meditation is nothing brother to come up with these realizations. You really have put your serious into it.
It's EXHILARATING! During my first experience my only thought was "WOAH!". Can't really describe the vibrational sensation and energy pull. It's a supernova explosion of vibrations and yet...... beyond peaceful.
Such an honest explanation of the whole process, with immense richness of details. Respect and gratitude 🙏
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!
Thanks for your comment and input🙏
@@bensmithreal 😊 your authenticity shines so bright Ben! You are a gem in our universe.
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?
Thanks so much brother🙏 Totally agree with you with regards to intent. Absolutely crucial! Keep the content rolling and hopefully we can make little waves in our little corners of UA-cam 🌊
You have explained it in soooo much details and tips, I truly appreciate all your beautiful hard work 🙏🏻🩷🙏🏻
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.
Thank you🙏🧘🏼♂️
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.
I have to ask this. Did your truck also end up in the cosmos?
@@ExplorenWisdom Truck and 53 trailer...i was sitting the driving seat .
@@MadMax-gc2vj I know I just had to make that joke
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.
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 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Ben..It's exciting to find someone with your experience willing to accurately articulate some of the obstacles we face in self realization. I especially enjoyed your insights regarding the ego's agenda. If you could share more personal experience with your ego and self deception, I think it would help many to understand how to identify when the ego is shrewdly trying to influence us to protect it's own existence. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙏
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! 😊❤
Good luck! I once heard something that may or may not be helpful to you: Water the grass and they'll overtake the weeds (as opposed to just trying to kill the weeds). Cheers!
@@couragewon love it! Thanks 🙏👍
Use a mantra in sikhi we use “waheguru” and u say it and focus on the sound. It shuts ur mind up. Then slowly it goes into ur breath and u progress much faster
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.
You're very welcome🙏
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.
Amazing video Ben! Appreciate you sharing in such detail.
Thanks man🙏
I did it. Seen spinning heads with multisided faces surrounded by shards of glass. Seen Jesus with a pistol. Then I forgot time was a thing and forgot my self. There was moment that came so sudden, like I was sitting in front of my flatmate at the kitchen table. It shocked me and I fell out of it. After that I looked at the flat group chat and they posted a picture and there was my flatmate sitting in the same clothes at the same seat. Wild.
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 :)
Thanks for sharing 👌
@@bensmithrealyou're welcome :)
Haven’t been able to find it at 4 Hz. Any ideas? I can find Theta binaural beats, and many don’t even give the Hz info.
Grats you deserve all the success youre attracting ❤
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.
You found "YOUR" key, if a person isn't ready, they won't be prompted or even influenced. Hope this works for others too
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!
You are so welcome
@@bensmithreal thank you so much. ❤️
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😇
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!
Glad it was helpful!
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.
I love it when you cuss. Lol it shows your passion, and then I get fucking fired up. LETS GOOOOOOO
I have done dmt many times and you really make it sounds like it’s that
I love your videos!! So informative and on point! Thank you 😊 💓
I love the way you put things mate. Very direct and clear, it's refreshing. Thank you.
I appreciate that, thank you.
Thank you for helping in guiding people.
Certainly to the point today Ben. Very frank..thanks ❤
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
That’s great to hear man 🙏 The foundation is so important
You explain the whole process so well, thank you for that
this video is the only thing that ive found feasable to acheive OBEs. thanks for making this tutorial
You’re welcome🙏
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’ve also wondered the 2nd question.
i want to astral prooject with this youtube. is it possible?you think i can see him?
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 :)
every other video ive seen on here just always seems to be missing so much and not really helping at all, or just talking about lucid dreaming 😂. this video was really great tho and felt much more honest and real, actually from your own experiences. thanks
Thank you🙏
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)
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
You need JESUS.

Great video! I really look forward to all your content. Thank you!
Thanks so much - Theres plenty more on the way 🧘🏼♂️🤙
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.
Excellent and thank you for explaining the technicalities. Honestly, this concept seems to be explained only in riddles, like an old master might hah
Go on Ben…great video.
Thanks 👍
Thank you brother of existence. I really needed this
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!!! ✨🤍✨💎✨🙏🤗
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
Absolutely🙏
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 😊 😀 ☺️
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.
You’re very welcome🙏
Ben, thank some good basic fundamental knowledge. Many blessings to you on your path.
Same to you🙏
thank you
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.
That’s very honest of you. Glad the vid was helpful!
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.
Thanks for sharing. It definitely takes some time to get used too. Also, the ego will hate every minute of it
Thank you Ben
My pleasure!
My astral projection happened to me with no training or intention whatsoever. I was getting sleep paralysis in the build up to it and was getting crazy night sweats to the point where i got blood tests because i thought something was wrong with me. I've also been through undeniable poltergeist activity and friends would say these things only happen when I'm around. Songs would play in my head as a kid and i would go into my mums car and the song would start playing on the radio ( different songs on a daily occurrence ) and i constantly seen and still see the numbers 11:11. I have no idea if this all connected or not but thought I'd share anyways😂.
Thank you for this information! ❤️
Brilliant! Thanks Ben
Omg you are f**king AMAZING! Love when people are their true selves! Thank you!🙏🥰❤️😀
💙🙏
some really great tips here! good explaining as well!
Thank you
The stool is an amazing tool! I’m not flexible enough for most padmasana.
Agreed!
Definitely appreciate the way you went about this video. All the "guru" type UA-cam's come across as total douches. Totally comes across as a business instead of sharing and encouraging an enlightened state.
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!!!!✊️
Glad you enjoyed it brother🙏🙏
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
Thanks and best of luck🙏
I could say that Ben has downloaded some serious stuff from the source.. great video.. thanks for this
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.
Glad it was helpful🙏
Really well made video
You have explained it so beautifuly, thank you very much Ben!❤❤❤
You are very welcome😌💙
Thank you so much for this. I wonder if you have any advice, related to meditation position, for me and me bad knee. I suffered a bad injury some years ago resulting in some plates and screws that hold my left knee together. I am still very active and am able to do most everything I always did, including aggressive mountain biking and motocross, so I am healthy, fit and capable however my left knee can only bend to about 90 degrees maximum.. so I cannot kneel or sit cross-legged. When I meditate I tend to sit in a chair but I worry that this limitation may be a big part of why I have not been so very successful in my practice. Given what I've told you about my knee is there anything you can suggest that I might try that you think would be a more effective position than sitting in a chair? For instance I have considered sitting in basic cross-legged position but with my two legs in front of me in a sort of diamond shape with heels touching. I'd be grateful for your ideas. Thank you for this video!
Hey dude, yeah feel free to play around with the position to suit you.
Check out ‘Burmese pose’ on Google. Sounds like that may work for you. Sitting on a chair is perfectly good though (just keep your heels touching as this keep the energy flowing).
So glad I come across your video, thank you
Thank you😌
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!
