I re-read what I said and for simply stating a small issue might occur, it's wrong. So because I read something that may occur it's wrong?
I went through that whole convo on the entities thread you opened. It seems that your internal fear is what compells you to write these essays all the time. You're so afraid of people misunderstanding you and judging you, that you try to "fill the blanks" about everything beforehand whenever you write a message about something. Problem is that this confuses and annoys most people. Also with all the effort you put into writing huge posts, you commonly overlook or neglect important information, instead just focusing your attention on trying to fill the blanks. I'll show you.
Let's take a look at your reply here

On top of that it makes it easier to enter altered states hell even some people experience astral projections while in mindfulness or zazen or whatever you want to call it. In fact some freak out cause they want to get back inside their bodies but something doesn't let them they didn't learn how to re-enter their bodies a common phenomena according to Robert Bruce.
See right here what you're telling this new member (even if it was not your intention) is that scary things like this could happen to them suddenly/randomy while they do void meditation. What do you think will happen if you tell them that? Most likely they will be scared shitless and not do void meditation anymore, out of fear that this may happen.
Luciftias is correct in saying any newly dedicated SS will be protected from this, so overly highlighting such things will not have any benefit at all here.
In fact simply cutting your post down to this part

So void or mindfulness is surprisingly complex and different for each person. It all depends on a person's background and even soul. So perhaps sitting there and doing nothing is true seems so but I think it's more true early on as you feel like your wasting your time. You haven't learned to say drop down to an altered state or chill the mind quickly and firmly and from the start be in the zone. In the beginning it's very tough probably why in the East it's taught at an early, sometimes quite early. Might seem strange to teach a young toddler such things but you'd be surprised how well a child can grasp things with proper teachings and as they advance they can be brought up on higher concepts.
would have made it a helpful and detailed response instead.
Now to address the general issue(s) of yours, I doubt that posting about these on the forums here will lead anywhere beneficial, atleast in your current state. I'm certain that you are a true SS, no matter what anyone else says. We all have/had our issues at one point, and these need to be fixed one way or another if we want to advance. The issues that you are having currently, which do not allow you to properly express yourself, make it exceedingly hard for anyone to help you. Much sensitivity, insight and effort is needed in order to fix these things properly. Honestly it's a shame you didn't contact me as I would have gladly devoted the time to work out all these things with you. I've went through rougly similar things as you which quite strongly compells me to try and help you. Sometimes we have blockages and fears that are so intricate and vast that we become "locked in" by them and cant do anything until some major catalyst snaps us out of it. I don't like spamming my e-mail address around everywhere, and would normally leave it be after someone refused my offer for contact the first time, but you are a special case. Contact me at
[email protected] and we'll talk about it all, in as much length as you want. This is the last time I'll offer my help.
If you decide to stay on your own, I wish you the best of luck.
