Now when I meditate sometimes I see a pulsating circle of light. it gets smaller and disappears, then starts again from big to small.

Once I started to vibrate and I freaked out.

Once during third eye meditation I was kinda seeing with my closed eyes

True meditation is the discovery of the non phenomenal.
Typically, people are meditating for benefits involving phenomena.
Discover the non-phenomenal, which is yourself.
Self discovery is enlightenment.
What kind of meditation can enable someone to discover the non-phenomenal?
Observe the entirety of this present as one single phenomena, then you are aware, that your awareness itself, is not of that phenomena. Your awareness, is not of the moment, and it is not within the moment. The moment, and all else, is within your awareness. In this discovery, is the realization that you are literally the fundamental reality, you yourself are the base of reality. You are the primary substance and medium, in which all other substances are manifesting within.

That is what I discovered.
That is my crazy meditation story.
I am living in this realization.

My meditation is simple,
the observing of the present moment as a single phenomena, within my awareness.

If I stray from that meditation, I have lost my enlightenment -I have lost the light of true seeing -true wisdom -proper knowledge. All other knowledge is retarded if it is not grounded in this proper knowledge.
Know yourself.
That is the great meditation.
The meditation above all else.

What specific meditation practices do you do?

>>40566025
I tried different things. This specific light thing started when I followed a YouTube meditation to open up the third eye. I was also using the magnet for the pineal gland.

I started originally with the gateway tapes, then I went on to try different things

>I started originally with the gateway tapes
How did that go. My guess is most of your mileage probably came from that over a YouTube video or some magnets

when your breath is shallow, you are aware of its shallowness
when your breath is deep and nourishing, you are aware of it's depth and vitality
when you force yourself to breathe deep, you are aware of force you put on yourself
when you give in to distractions (say, a lustful image while scrolling), you are aware of the shift in awareness
and so on so forth...?

It is simple true, yet we have this whole present moment with all it's wavy-ness

What is the difference between external and internal stimuli? A sight is photons activating photosensitive cells in your eyes, projected onto the visual cortex in the back of your head and integrated further into pattern-recognizing systems. A particular thing is seen when you have combined sight and attention (you see the photons, you discern an object, a label is applied). A thought is spurred on by external stimuli integrating with internal memory circuits, activating a concept to such an extent that it enters your perception. Now, if attention mediates perception, and both internal and external stimuli activate thoughts/labels - which are then perceived consciously - how is it possible to make a distinction between internal and external stimuli? These things live in the same medium. All you see of the external world are projections from external to your internal canvas of consciousness, all you see of the internal world are projections from internal to your internal canvas of consciousness. You can see outlines, silhouettes, of yourself, but never your true self. In some sense, you are what you are - the least abstracted version of your self is that which you are. Note however that any perception of yourself is an image/icon/abstraction/projection. It is informationally less dense than you ever could be. Every perception is compressed data.
