sorry if i freaked you guys out. i was responding to the person insisting that more than 20 minutes is "a waste of time"... it really isn't and i described why.

i understand that it sounds "hippy" but what i described is literally something that actually happens, and you don't have to pray to any gods or do anything mystical to make it happen (for the record i'm atheist, and i don't believe in crystal healing or any of that shit). it's simply the result of sustained inner attention over a long period of time. and i wouldn't have believed it either when i first started. but it's real and has happened to me multiple times now when i started sitting for longer.
i never insisted that anyone has to meditate that long or aim for that if they don't want to. just that it's possible for people who meditate longer.

there are hundreds of people who aren't hippies that post about these states regularly. it's an actual phenomenon. look at all these thread titles.
