Mystical Experiences

I would like to experience something mystical, without feeling impeded by the environment in which I am present. Is there a way to change your mind and alter reality to the extent that things...change. Life is feeling completely stuck ( Read more... )

tai chi method...

everything becomes mysitical based on how you look at it. anything in your environment that you are alienated from becomes a source of distraction and frustration. the cure for alienation is identification. if you identified with your whole environment you would be one with it, not separate. one with all = mystical revelation.
a simple method from budo is to soften the eyes. like: most people look out from their eyes and project their sight onto their worlds. this leads to seeing your projected illusions. to soften the eyes is to allow the world to enter them; to become receptive. the vision blurs and instead of focussing on what is directly in front of vision, they take in the whole periphery. it takes some practice to change the habit, but is worth it. in time you can take energy samples from whatever you look at instead of projecting your karmas onto those things.
no drugs necessary.
another tactic from energetic tradition is to discover those things that are particularly hard to identify with and work with them specifically; absorbing their 'chi' and breathing out your resistance/psychological blocks.
these things change perspective which is key to making life changes. remember one thing a lot of chaoists forget: although everyone knows it is much much much easier to change oneself then it is to change ones environment, most try to change the world before changing themselves. that's often a waste of effort, as the world fights you when you do that, and will quickly revert back to the way it was, obliterating your efforts.
change yourself and the whole world changes anyway...to you. without reverting, and with relatively little effort (except in having to convince the ego the change is necessary).
bless.

That makes sense, but I need some sort of spark- something to get me going.

that's got to come from within.
