Stream Entry Practice and AP

[SoulSail]

I've been reading a ton on Buddhist meditation practices and whatnot and came across this essay on Stream Entry. Almost everything in this writing is applicable to obtaining an OBE; the concepts are interchangeable. Simply read through with projection (or enlightenment) in mind:

BTW, time spent on Dharma Overground is time well spent.

A Lenovo something or other. I've just read almost all published material on Carlos Castaneda, and next I'm going to read the one you posted.

Dharma Overground is great. Have you read this Erowid experience report on the effects of insight meditation?

And I liked how Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha doesn't just talk about Theraveda Buddhist views on enlightenment. If I recall correctly, shamanic views, kundalini, hermetics, and a variety of others were discussed. The Tibetan Buddhist model is intriguing... I wonder if they can really turn out full-blown buddhas in one lifetime?

Gonig back through Monroe's work has been interestnig. His concept of achieving "escape velocity" to be free of Earth life addictions and needless incarnations is remarkably similar to the Buddhist and Hindu teachings behind reincarnation, karma, and nirvana/moksha.

Baseline in plain English- don't know in Buddhist terminology.
