I have practiced meditation for some while now, and have found amazing results.. I have recently been able to enter a state where my eyes enter a REM state mode, while Im still techiniqually awake, and I start to see some interesting visions...I know it sounds kinda odd...I think I have a lot more to progress in though because I usually get kinda freaked out and then stop.

Meditation, Mantra, Astral Projection...I can honestly say these things are real, and powerful, and tools that all mankind should use for personal revelation.
