That post inspired me to check out a local Buddhist center to expand my further learning. After my last school final on thursday i'm going to a lunchtime meditation session. This will be my first time ever stepping in to such a place. Can't wait for the experience.

Meditation is very peaceful, but also very hard to do I have practiced for a year or so on and off mainly using free literature and what I have read on the internet and have finally gotten to that point thats hard to explain all noises cut out all thought is gone and when I come to sometimes it feels Like I have done a obe and that kind of scares me so I have layed off for a while even though I enjoy the stress reducing peacefulness of it.

I identify as a Pantheist, heavily influenced by eastern philosophies. Buddhism falls under this blanket, and as such I try to meditate as much as I can. I find it to be very relaxing and stress-reducing. I believe I once managed to obtain a state of enlightenment, but I'm reluctant to really admit it anywhere.

But whatever I might have experienced for that brief moment was absolutely overwhelmingly beautiful.
