Just got back from a Bachelor Party in San Diego. Not your typical bachelor party, as all parties involved are "on the path less traveled", you could say. Anyways, as soon as we landed in SD we went straight to a Float Lab. This was my first experience with a sensory deprivation tank and I can firmly say that a float tank is something that I am going to save my money to purchase and have in my house. Amazing experience. Such an intimate and easier way to meditate and truly go within.
The best part however was my interactions with the owner of the float lab. Through knowledge that I've acquired and mind blowing experiences that I've been involved in, I KNOW that energy and the "oneness" can be felt between beings both disconnected and connected with their inner G. From the jump this guy pretty much skipped all the nonsense with me because he said that I already "knew", stroking my eGo if you will lol. But afterwards my friends and I ended up sitting down with the guy and getting lost in a 2 hour conversation that lead to him being the first guest on my podcast.
I know I've talked about doing it to you guys before, but I've done a few trial episodes already and now I'm going to get this guy booked to be my first guest. I promise it will be an amazing journey into spirituality and who knows where else it will go. Can't wait to share it with everyone.
Anyone ever try a float tank before?
maybe grasping at straws?Truepanda, no offense but what relevance do your last few posts in this thread have in regards to the topics? Just seems like news reports.
A question I often ask people is: have you ever experienced a yesterday or a tomorrow? You can remember yesterdays, you can imagine tomorrows, but they are only ideas. In your experience, no such thing has ever happened. Your experience of life has always been right here and now. Your experience of life is happening in this very moment. So time is a human idea. There is no such thing in this existence.
Time and space are essential dimensions for physical creation. But if you touch a dimension beyond the physical, there is no such thing as here and there, now and then. Everything is here. Everything is now.
Once you aspire to be spiritual, it means you aspire to go beyond the limitations of the physical. In this pursuit, the biggest barrier is your resistance to death. This makes you cling hard to the physical which renders your efforts to transcend its limitations futile. It’s like putting your anchor down and rowing your boat. It will be just an enormous waste of energy and life. But once you go beyond the physical, you find time and space are merely creations of your conscious mind.
Physicists today are saying that a whole process of creation and destruction is going on in what is known as the vacuum states. In this culture, we have always talked of time in terms of time cycles. Modern physicists have been talking so far about an ever-expanding universe. But now they’re also saying for the first time that just as there was a big bang, it is possible that some day there will be a big crunch. This means that as this universe expands from something infinitely small into something infinitely large, a reverse process can happen and bring everything into the here and now.
This is something mystics have always known within themselves, experientially. When we talk nirvana, moksha, shoonya, this is exactly what we are saying: this universe came from nothing and if you take it through the full cycle then it will once again become absolute nothingness.
Because I am not a slave of human ideas, I have never been a slave of time. Only when your experience of right now is not enough, you want to go elsewhere. If this moment is big enough, where would you want to go? You’d find there is no such thing as time; there is only eternity. And yet, I am always on time, and our programs at Isha are always punctual! I see punctuality not as discipline or time management, but as a matter of simple decency. Because our lives are valuable, no one has a right to expend someone else’s life. So being on time at any cost is very important to me, sometimes at the risk of my life. I am very conscious of time when my eyes are open, but the moment I close my eyes, I’m completely timeless.
So where are we all going? If you have not gone to enough places, going somewhere is very exciting. Most people spend their lives trying to become like someone else. The constant comparing and aspiring to be someone different, the need to be one up on somebody, just wastes the fundamental possibility in a human being. This is why we talk of liberation. If you have not been around enough, being is exciting. But if you remember the antiquity your being carries within itself, then the only thing that is truly attractive for you is non-being. When you are not bound by the physical, when you simply disappear into space and time, you transcend their limitations. Then where do you go? When all going stops, that’s the endgame. You don’t go anywhere. That is ultimate liberation.

It could be whatever, I just wanna read or watch something provocative and intriguing.
