Getting Started

So I have started reading the series My Big Toe by Thomas Campbell and I realize this undertaking is going to take time, patience and a lot of meditation.

I have meditated twice today once this morning and also just a couple of minutes ago. You must understand I have no training, knowledge or even any understanding of what I am doing, I am just playing around with my conscious mind.

To put myself in a meditative state I am using the mantra that I repeat over and over. I repeat Loving over and over in my head until everything around me disappears, sounds, shapes, feeling and even thoughts.

In my second mediation for about 20 minutes today I was in a pretty good conscious state where I was seeing images of animals I have never seen before, a man kicked a bag of wrenches and a weird looking underwater flower that had tentacles and one eyeball.

It is a little frustrating because I am trying to control my conscious mind but I can't the images just appear however they would like and they switch in and out. Once second I would see one image and then it would disappear and a new image would take it's place.

I hoping the more I practice the more I will be able to control my meditation. One thing I am 100% sure of is that I was not asleep yet I was not awake, I was not controlling my thoughts they were just images being put into my head. Very cool and strange at the same time.

It all begins: Experimenting with consciousness

I have been a big believer in happiness is a state of mind. Happiness isn't based on what we have or own but instead is created by loving live for the gifts and blessing we have.

A lot of people consider me a lucky person, they say everything just falls in my lap and I don't have to work hard to achieve the things I want. And yes I have had an amazing life however I don't consider the good things in my life coming from luck but instead from having a good positive outlook on my life. I am a big believer in the thought process "what you think about you bring about" which you may have heard from the movie The Secret. From my experience good things do come to those with good intentions.

However I think that I have also just been scratching the surface of the possibilities of what my potential and really anyone's potential is in this world and future worlds. After watching eighteen videos from physicist Thomas Campell I have decided to jump into a deeper level of understanding by experimenting and learning about my consciousness.

This blog will serve as my written journal of my experiences and interpretation of my consciousness as I travel deeper and deeper into the depths of understand who I am where I come from and how I should be living my live.

I will also be using the book written by Thomas Campell called My Big Toe as a road map on my journey.

Let the journey begin.
