Panic Attack while meditating

[Leo Gura]

@cle103 Just keep at it. Eventually you will break through. There's not much of a trick to it other than brute force.

Psychedelics help enormously with this issue.

Once you've died a few times, death stops being a big deal. The ego just goes quietly. But not at first. At first it makes a big drama out of it.

Eventually you will discover that all fear is illusion. Especially the fear of death.

@Leo Gura Sounds pleasant haha

Thank you!

@cle103 Just surrendering 1% of what you think you are, for 99% of what you really are.

@Nahm Sounds like a good deal

A similar thing happend to me a few days ago while I was tripping on LSD. Scared the shit out of me. I haven't even fully recovered from it.

As I recall, what triggered my terror and panic attack is I felt like I was sinking to an abyss. It didn't feel like a welcoming place. It was vast/dark/empty. Not pleasant at all. 

Ever since then I'm neither here or there. Feels like I'm semi conscious and in somewhere in between being asleep and awake.

I think similar things happend to us even though we describe it differently.

Same for me.
