I read in a source that experiences occurring under general anesthesia—without cardiac arrest—pose a greater challenge for materialist science, because they can no longer rely on post-arrest gamma waves. It is also said that in this state, brain activity is suppressed by anesthetic drugs, making the conditions for generating a coherent experience extremely difficult. Has anyone here had a near-death experience while under anesthesia—specifically without cardiac arrest?

People are increasingly becoming aware of simple meditation. I would love to hear about experiences that show meditation is far more complex and extraordinary than many people think.

Hello

I have been meditating for a few years and at first my five senses and perception expanded a lot, but after a while it seemed that this process was reversed and my perception decreased.

My breathing became very quiet and silent, the energy in my body decreased a lot and it seemed that my distance from the environment was getting smaller day by day. I feel that my mind has become very small and is getting smaller. I do not know what this means in the meditation school

If my family does not pressure me, I am not unhappy with my situation.

The truth is that my perception seems to have become much dimmer. It also seems that emotions and thoughts have dissolved in the space of my mind and no longer play a prominent role in my life.

Will a new perception emerge when this perception is extinguished?

Hello I have been meditating for 7 years and from one stage onwards I feel that my body has become very light and I felt the energy in a subtle and superficial way at first and at the same time I felt that everything became more colorful and clearer and the sounds became more beautiful. This energy quickly recovered me at the beginning and I felt like I was becoming a ball of air As time went by I felt that this energy became thicker and more internal, that is, it felt like a thick flow and I did not see objects as beautiful and my perception was limited but the person became more stable and less happy or sad. At the same time as I felt this flow, I felt that I could communicate with objects and for example when I touched them I felt that powders from them were being attracted to my hand. I didn't feel this energy only when meditating or in a specific part of my body, I felt it everywhere in my body, and when I felt this energy, everything felt more fluid. It was an interesting feeling, but sometimes it was annoying, but now I don't feel that anymore, but I'm calmer. I don't know exactly what that energy was, if you have an experience like this, please tell me. I also became very sensitive to different sounds, and when I heard each sound, it had a special feeling. I still meditate, but I dont feel this energy. I'm sure it meant a lot.

Hello

I have been meditating for a few years and I feel that meditation has destroyed or greatly reduced my ego.

Not only has my ego disappeared, but I feel that my entire being has been emptied of information.

I feel empty.

It is as if my feelings, identity, personality, thoughts and intelligence have all dissolved and disappeared in the space of my mind.

For example, I no longer analyze the environment and events and it seems that my relationship with the environment has become very weak and I cannot even do simple activities.

Some people think that I am depressed, but this is not the case.

I am not sad and my thoughts have also become very weak. I have neither positive nor negative thoughts.

In meditation, by looking at thoughts absolutely and not judging them, their power is taken away.

Of course, it's true that it made my daily life very difficult

But maybe the benefits were greater

Because I used to be very obsessive and skeptical and my mind was dualistic and multi-faceted, but meditation at least helped me survive and empty my mind

I feel like I'm in a vacuum.

Has anyone here had a similar experience to me?

I would really like to understand the nature of thinking from a meditation perspective, because the more I meditate, the more I realize that thoughts are becoming more and more apparent and disappearing quickly, and that the dangers are an essential part of our being.

What is the purpose of meditation, to reduce and disappear thoughts?

What was the state of mind of the great meditators?

Was it just total thoughtlessness?

Because if they had absolute thoughtlessness, they would not be able to carry out their daily activities. Because thought creates movement, motivation, and every emotion.

Or did they reach another level of consciousness from thoughtlessness?

Thank you for reading.

Why aren't other prominent researchers conducting new research into near-death experiences in the blind, this time with advanced medical equipment, like the Mindsight study?

This title may sound a bit strange to you, but it happened very clearly to me.

I have been meditating for a few years. In the early years, my mind became calmer and my perception of the environment and my five senses became broader. The colors were more beautiful, the sounds were more attractive, and I felt objects much more delicate. Also, the visualization in my mind became much stronger. For example, I could easily visualize the streets. I also felt much more energetic and lighter.

Everything became faster and more fluid, and I found thoughts less unstable and unreal, and I could easily pass by them. I also felt that my intelligence and memory had become much, much stronger, and my personality had become much more hopeful.

But as the years passed, I felt that my attention was slowly coming from the outside to the inside, and I gradually felt the energy flowing under my skin. On the other hand, my connection with the environment became weaker and I no longer became happy or sad easily. The strength and everything became much more stable. The colors were in a state of My intelligence, memory, and connection with the outside world have slowly returned to normal. My imagination has become very dim and very dim. It seems like I have become empty. I have literally become empty of thoughts, information, past, and future. It has gradually become very difficult for me to be active outside. But I do not feel depressed, sad, or anxious at all. But I feel like my intelligence, memory, and emotions have become very low. Thank you for reading. If you have a similar experience, please tell me.

I have been meditating for a few years, maybe 7 years, and after a few years, I could say that suddenly my five senses, even my intelligence and memory, became much stronger, so that I saw colors more beautifully, and everything became more qualitative, and my perception became broader. But after a few years, it was as if my perception came from the outside in. I even felt that my vision had changed, and my focus became much harder, and I constantly felt the flow of energy inside me. At the same time, my thoughts seemed to be disintegrating with observation and became much less powerful. After a while, I became much more stable mentally and much more still physically, meaning I no longer felt happy or sad easily, but I feel that my thoughts have become so weak and diminished, and my body's energy has also decreased, that even walking and being active have become very difficult. I do not feel depressed at all, and it is as if I am in a state of emotional turmoil. My family also expects me to be active. My life has become very strange. Please pray for me.
