Hey /x/ i started to get into meditation lately, and every time

Probably just your brain fucking with ya, probably.

What exactly are you doing to 'meditate'?

I put on some theta binaural beats and sit crossed legged with hands like pic related in a dark quiet room. I try to focus on nothing but the emptiness in my mind and try to shove away any abstract thoughts.

Is that how it's properly done?

You're half dreaming, that's why.
Try to go all the way, you'll be in a self-induced 'lucid dream'. I've done it a couple of times, feels like one hour passed 'as you entered the trance' and once you 'wake up', you'll realize 4-8 hours have gone by.
I was just driving down an infinite road tho, I wonder what others could do. Also, VERY shadowy. It's hard to force on colors, but it's doable. Most of the 'travels' start in black and white most of the time.
That's how it was for me at least.
Once I could do it in full colour I just stopped, I've achieved what I wanted from meditation, a constantly quiet mind, being able to push any thought away.
I've gone on one travel since then, it was quite symbolic and enlightening, it's like the 'environment' is speaking to you, not in language, but in 'brain' language. Maybe waves or something I have no fucking idea.

How do you go even further beyond? They say you can go to other dimensions and shit but when I close my eyes and lay in bed trying to meditate all I see is black and white stars and I can see space like just empty space. I want to know how to truly go deeper.

That actually makes a lot of sense since i felt like there was a huge connection towards what i was seeing and feeling, thanks for the insight.

If you're OP, then you should beat that fear, it is of your ego. You, as in your spirit, doesn't feel fear. It doesn't mind it's ego dying, it'll be as it has always been.
You have to take control of your ego, don't let it control you. Meditation can really reveal some wicked symbolism of your inner, as can drugs.
If you're not OP, try visualizing something. Start small.
Also this literature will help you, if you're truly seeking.

in Zen they say, observe it and move on. everybody has weird shit happen when they meditate for extended periods. if you take it too seriously you might think you're superman or the next L Ron Hubbard which entirely defeats the purpose of meditating.
