New here. Im posting here because I'm blown away at how similar my meditation techniques are to the ones mentioned here, which I discovered after some google about my experience. Last night I had a really interesting experience, but I'm not sure if it was just a dream.

For years on and off, I have meditated by laying still (eyes closed with ear plugs) and visualize every thought popping into my mind, then "manually" pushing it away. Most times, I just fall asleep eventually, but every now and then I experience a sensory deprivation effect for a while first. That happened last night, along with something new. For what felt like the entire night, I laid there with my eyes open (after having fallen asleep), and i was completely still staring at the room around me. It was ALMOST correct, but some furniture and the size was off. I'm not sure if it was sleep paralysis, because I dont recall even wanting to move. I just wanted to lay there and observer. Eventually, I jolted awake and sat up, everything perfectly normal, maybe an hour later (although hard to say for sure). Has anyone experienced something similar?

P.S. I plan on listening to the tapes tonight and seeing if I get any further. Are the ones on Spotify ok?

This comment is entirely false, right?

This has been bugging me for a long time.

Let's say I am on the surface of a planet, and my friend is on a space ship far away from the planet. The gravity on the surface is such that, due to time dilation, I am experiencing time at half the rate of my friend.

Now let's also say that we each have a radio that is powerful enough to communicate at our distance. I hold the button and say "hello." When my friend's radio play that hello back at double speed? If not, why?

edit: half speed, not double speed

I understand making sure it's actually in neutral... just tap it to one side once and you have all the info you need.

The top post in this sub explains how there have been studies suggesting the possibility that electromagnetic fields could be the source of consciousness, as opposed to a by-product.

Well, based on this ghost murmur technology, our hearts must have a fairly complex and unique electromagnetic field. A large part of the human experience is "feeling" with one's heart. So, what if our hearts actually dude have a consciousness that is simply weaker than that of our brains?
