Yeah, I did that too, Not only myself, but my friends could see the energy flowing between my hands. Its like reading aura's you blur your eyes, and you can see the energy of a life force or a crystal. By concentraiting my chakras(i know i can't spell) i was able to focus my energy between my hands, and use it to effect other people.
I'm no white mage, but i think this is how holisitc healers heal. I'd have to get a lot better at it before i could start cureing anyone effectivly though

When I was young, not sure of age, i'd say 8-10, I thought that everyone couldn't think like i could. I imagined a day when i would grow up and everyone would say, "hey, we aren't real, your the only real thing in the world", then they would crown me king. It's amazing that i woudl think about that as a kid. I also used to think that parents and old people got magical powers when they grew up, i used to think they could read my mind ( i know someone said this in their post before).

Why don't you just shoot yourself in the face and find out?
does anyone take the time to realize you're under the influence of something that is altering your brain chemistry, even if only a few hours. Do you think that your brain, swimming in psycilocybin or L.S.D, really sees anything.
Have you ever felt the walls melt? did you walk through the wall? You keep asking these questions, and you're building a wall away from enlightenment, not walking towards it.
I'm sorry if this seems offensive, but that has been asked a million times, and I still haven't seen anyone stop bullets...

oh, by the way, I can focus on aura's too, and I've seen energy everywhere.. I love that!! I used to think like this when I was a kid, so scared that everyone could read my thoughts. I made a mental stronghold. I imagined a slide in my room I could take down 2 stories, where another room awaited. It was always decorated in whatever major subject was in my life. Wolves, mushrooms, marijuana, always something. I imagined a set of computers that regulated my nervous impulses, and I could change them at will. I'd hide here often, sure that NO ONE COULD READ MY THOUGHTS, as long as I could be in that room. The strange thing is....I still go there sometimes, 13 years later... Now, somewhere, in an ethereal dimension, am I really going there? this may all make me seem like a huge hippocrite by my previous statement, but I was stating this:
All of reality is real.
The thing is, There are more levels to it than we allow ourselves to realize. I believe the walls are there, but I believe I can astrally project myself out of my body, through those walls. there we go, all done now.

This is from Jack Kerouac's book big sur:
"Can it be that Ron and all these other guys, Dave and Mclear or somebody, the other guys earlier are all a big bunch of witches out to make me go mad?" I seriously consider this--Remembering that childhood revery I always had. which I used to ponder seriously as I walked home from St. Joseph's Parochial school or sat in the parlor of my home, that everynody in the world is making fun of money me and I don't know it because every time I turn around to see who's behind me they snap back into place with regular expressions, but soon's I look away again they dart up to the nape of my neck and all whisper there giggling and plotting evil, silently, you can't hear them, and when I turn quickly to catch them they've already snapped back perfectly in place and are saying "Now the proper way to cook eggs is" or they're singing Chet Baker songs looking the other way or they're saying "Did I ever tell you about Jim that time?---But my childhood revery also included the fact that everybody in the world was making fun of me because they were all members of an eternal secret society or heaven society that knew the secret of the world and were seriously fooling me so I'd wake up and see the light (i.e. become enlightened in fact)---So that I, "Ti Jean," was the LAST Ti Jean left in the world, the last poor holy fool, those people at my neck were the devils of the eath among whom God had cast me, an angel baby, as though I was the last Jesus in fact! and all these people were waiting for me to realize it and wake up and catch them peeking and we'd all wake up in heaven suddenly--but animals weren't doing that behind my back, my cats were always adornments licking their paws sadly, and Jesus, he was a sad witness to this, somewhat like the animals---He wasn't peeking down my neck--there lies the root of my belief in Jesus--so that actually the only reality in the world was Jesus and the lambs (the animals) and my brother Gerard who had instructed me---meanwhile some of the peekers were kindly and sad, like my father, but had to go along with everybody else in the same boat---but my waking up would take place and then everything would vanish except for heaven, which is God---and that was why later in life after these rather strange you must admit childhood reveries, after I had that fainting vision of the Golden Eternity and others before and after it including Samadhis during buddhist mediations in the woods, I conceived of myself as a special solitary angel sent down as a messenger from heaven to tell everybody or show everybody by example that their peeking society was really the satanic society and they were all on the wrong track. With all this in my background, now at the point of adulthood disaster of the soul, through excessive drinking, all this was easily converted into a fantasy that everybody in the world was witching me to madness: and i must have believed it subconsciously because as I say as soon as Ron Blake left I was well again and in fact content. In fact very contented--I rose that following morning with more joy and health and purpose than ever, and there was me old Big Sur Valley all mine again, here came good old Alf and I gave him food and patted his big rough neck with its various cocotte's manes, there was the mountain of Mien Mo in the distance just a dismal old hill with funny bushes around the hill and a peaceful farm on top, and nothing to do all day but amuse myself undisturbed by witches and booze---and I'm singing ditties again "My soul ain't snow, wouldn't you know, the color of my soul, is interpole" and such silly stuff---and I yell "If arthur Ma is a witch he sure is a funny witch! har har!"
This is simply called taking back your projections in buddhism. No need to get all philosophical about it. The spiritual path is a lonely trip, but it has its rewards, especially if it is a necessity.

When I was a young child, I was able to conceive infinity. Or I was able to conceive nothing, rather. I would find some place quiet, and sit down in a chair, and put my head back to relax for a bit. I would close my eyes and think about the origins of life and whatnot. My thoughts ran to how I didn't have to exist at all, and that I knew I was very fortunate but couldn't understand what the unfortunate side of the matter was. This thought would procede to thoughts about how no person, object, or event had to happen, and not that everything was fortunate, but that everything just was. I would picture myself sitting in my chair, but from above, in a corner of the ceiling. I would try zooming out forever, to escape the planet, exit the galaxy, and pass other stars in order to try and leave the universe. When I couldnt find the end of the universe, the exit--the point at which I could leave, I realized it was useless. Then I would slowly induce a vision of complete whiteness in my field of vision, nothing else. This was extremely hard to do for me, as black bits would constantly pop up. Reminds me of the few years where I could not exit a surface that I was standing on with my left leg, it had to be the right. I knew this was infantile and worthless, but couldn't get over it. I label it self induced OCD. Anyways, I could eventually get my vision to be white, and not black. This was to try and envision what was outside of the universe, and not inside, since being inside and attempting to get outside was futile...eh...yeah. I did see the outside, though. I finally got the whole mind-screen white, and saw the outside. But it struck me that once I was outside, there was only more traveling to do, that I could only try and get outside of the outside. But I didn't try, I just dropped the whole concept entirely. I forgot about the universe, and the outside. I realized that the universe didnt have to exist, and that the nothingness contained on the outside was indeed something, and that it didn't have to exist either. I got to a place where there wasn't anything, not even nothing. It was a very fun thing to do for me back in the day. I would do it about once a week when I could find the time to concentrate and do it right. I can't really describe what happened once I envisioned ...what I envisioned. I want to say "once I envisioned nothing", but it wasn't nothing (hey, that's correct english;)). It's not a concept easily put into words, this...event. But being there was understanding it, understanding it was being it...I truly felt as if I understood this infinity. Understanding it was what made me want to go back so often, because understanding infinity was something that I could only momentarily do, and I needed to experience the understanding every once in a while. All I can truly remember, all that was imprinted so heavily of this, was that only during this time, nothing was wrong. When I look back, I suppose nothing was right either. I'm sure this all seems jumbled and unclear, but that's due to the nature of the concept. Also, I havn't smoked for 6 hours and I have a blistering head ache due to lack of food and sleep;). I was able to do this until I hit puberty, I think. Nowadays I can't grasp even the slightest speck of whiteness. I can't escape my routine thought process. I worry about tomorrow constantly, and it makes me sick. I wish I could go back there...

For me it is the thought of how primal everything is in this world, and how we are ignorant to things that seem primitive. For example, this year we went camping down at Lake Powell. Awesome place. The sign to the beach where you camp said "Primitive Camping"!!! WTF!! Like Im a caveman or something. We were trippin jokin about all the people in their campers how they leave their 'piss lights' on outside and feel like they are sleeping in a cardboard box. We were out under the moon and stars like it used to be havin a, well, bitchin primitive time. When you think about all the stuff that 'cracks me egg' (as I like to put it), shrooming is all proper when your either:
MEDITATING
LISTENING TO 'REAL' MUSIC
ASKING FOR GUIDANCE
HAVING TRUE HUMAN CONNECTION
OR JUST 'BEING' IN THE OUTDOORS.
Hello?????? This is what its always been about. All these people who take shrooms sitting in their bedroom, going shopping, driving around in their car, bowling, or whatever... Thats all fun and great, but absolutely pointless. Just a waste of some nice little mushies. Bring it back to reality... If the Power Grids collapsed, and the water became scarce, and the food at yer supermarket was priced really high because of some plague, or just because the demand for food has gone through the roof because of the damn population explosion... what are you going to think will happen? Everything will go back to WHAT REALLY MATTERS.

i used to think that everyone had there own time period. ill explain. it is like if i did something right now, then someone else in their time period wouldve already known what i did (if their time period was hapeening faster than mine) or they wouldnt know what i did till later on in their time period (if theirs was slower than mine). this was the cause for why things seemed to happen faster at sometimes, or slower. like when the day seems long, or when it seems short. if you still dont understand, then here i go again: someone that is having a long day, would still be doing something that already happened while others that were haveing a fast day wouldve already done it. i also used to wonder if everything that other people did was only to influence me. one of my friends said that there IS someone or something following him!!! you know when you turn youre head sometimes and you think that you see something. he says that the thing he keeps seeing in the corner of his eye truely his there. i am not sure if he was just fuckin with my head when i was shrooming, but he seemed surious. another one of my friends said that he must have been abducted by aliens when he was younger, because he doesnt remember long segments of his life when he was a child. i was stuck on the fact that society is slowly forming everyone to be the same thing/person. i got over this thought with the help form some shrooms = ) just to let you know ive done acid 15-20 times. my friend that thinks theres something following him has done it 20-30 times. and the other friend has done it around 40 times.
one plus one plus one equals three

>How do we know that everyone else in the world really exists, and that they arent some dillusion in our own minds
I have often thought about this. And the thought what if I was some psychopath in some kind of society (not necessarly the one that we live in), and I was actually sitting in a funny farm, with padded walls just chilling in the middle of the room with my own reality that was all in my head. I am so far out there that I dont even relize that anything is wrong or that im contained against will.
