I've reached a plateau, /x/
I've been attempting to meditate recently, and while strict adherence to classical methods has historically unhelpful, I can somewhat reliably put myself in a trance-like state.
The problem is, every time, I feel as though I am approaching a true understanding; right before I fully grok, I am flung out of trance.
I'm close, I can feel it, I just need to know what to do next
Dumping a very beginners guide to meditation; I didn't follow it
Also, how /x/ is Marx?
Not very?

If you've been using this, ditch it.
These are limiting belief systems, and, while they may have brought you this far, they clearly are not serving you anymore.
Like the images say, belief is power, and if your belief lies in these four, static, rigid images, your power is very limited.

Not a bad little beginner's guide there, although it's a bit off on the third-eye location. It's typically portrayed on the forehead, exactly between and slightly above the eyes, but the point of mental focus should actually be deeper within the brain. The stuff about Brodmann areas is probably only there to sound clinical without a source.
As for your own methods, it would be easier for people to help you if you explained them in some detail.
There is an old saying, "If you find the Buddha on the path, kill him."
Kill your Buddha. Keep meditating.

Jesus, I hate so much this nu-male, modern trend to make everything so vulgar and superficial to appeal to 9gag browsing faggy teens.
Where is this funny book available?

Hate to break it to you, fucko, but it has always been and always be that way. You're just too young to see that, yet. All culture is fluid, embrace the change or you're going to be miserable.

It's called the Psychonaut Field Manual, google around and you'll find it.

You are a fucking moron OP mocking things you don't understand with cartoonish pictures because you lack the intelligence to comprehend the rituals. Your guides are the work of an immature mind and I feel truly sorry for you. This is not a game, the rituals and the materials involved are there for a very important reason. You mock something quite serious and it will come back to haunt you for a very long time.
You have been warned plebian.

Hate to ask (but I'm asking), is there a downloadable version anywhere? I'm seeing individual pages all over the place.
Thanks in advance. Also I'm the kind of guy who reloads in Deus Ex a lot.

There's a download button in the upper right'ish corner of the page. That's all the creator has done so far, they're currently working on Chapter 4.

So offer some suggestions then. Dont be a punkass complainer when he's at least trying to help with a meditation guide. Can't say on its effectiveness, but fuck you, you bitch dickhole
