Meditation and the Formless Jhanic States

[brewster]

WBack when I was heavily meditating I would sit for 3 or more hours in the dark every day and just watch what would happen.

Thanks for clearing that up! Yes, that is an ambitious practice, wow! It certainly has been a fascinating journey.

How do you think this intense type of meditation connects with psychedelics? Did you ever do McKenna style psychedelics (high dose in silent darkness)?

I have yet to do a Mckenna style trip. I prefer to take my psychs and go throughout the day as if I didn't take them. I do this so that I can try and get an outside perspective on my life. I do want to try a Mckenna style trip someday.

Oh, that's interesting! Do you only take lower doses then?

Pretty much I stay around the standard doses. Its my comfort zone.
