Yes, i did read... but even if i try to believe that everything that is said there is real, im still a scientist, with a skeptical mind, so for me thats still only a book, until i have enough evidence...
Of course, in my everyday life i noticed that LOTS of things mentioned there are actually real, but, for me, disobeying the physical laws is just something too good for being true, and thats why i ask if it actually works...
But, if you say so, i feel more inclinated to believe, until i do it myself.
And thanks for the link! :thumbsup:

Man... im much like you in this aspect... im very introverted also... but may ask you, are you unhappy because of this?
I say that because, in my case, i dont speak to people because i dont want to... i have very little interest in people, thats why i dont make many efforts in socializing... if they talk to me, good. if they dont, better.
If you want be more extrovert, you must have interest in people, so your attention will be more atracted by people than by your own thoughts...
I would also suggest to read about don Juan's "controled folly". For me its the best way for dealing with people, and weed certainly helps me with doing that...

Meditation basically means "the art of concentration", and there are many things to concentrate on. I've only recently realized this though, and have only experimented with different points of focus as of late. Most people seem to stay with breath meditaiton, which is a great form, but there is so much more to explore. For instance, a week ago I was having a lot of trouble getting myself Rating: 5
