>So I was attending this Vipassana meditation course.

I am wondering what your perspective of the nature of these visions are. Did I during meditation unlock an ability to see projections of my subconscious or did I unlock an ability to see the fiend and the silhouettes which were conscious living entities outside of me or were it all a result of a hyperactivity of neurotransmitters in my brain or some other biological mechanism?
What do you think?

probably a thoughtform you made, try killing him

It's a long time ago though. How does one kill a thoughtform? By not giving it attention or by visualizing slicing it up or something like that?

>>18850446
just check if hes still around
if not then hes dead / wasnt your creation
if around then you can kill him with any visualization method you want, then no more attention after that

Ok, thanks.
Can one create a thoughtform unconsciously? Are they subjugated to my will or subconscious imagination/do they seem to have their own like characters in a dream or what is their nature? Can I give them some sort of free will/consciousness or are they just subdued my imagination whether conscious or subconscious?
What created him if I didn't?

I think you're just meditating wrong senpai.

I think I was doing it right following the instructions of perceiving/paying attention to the sensations created by the breath on the triangle below the nostrils.
Gradually I also felt an increasingsly tingling sensations a little above the between of my eyebrows and then these disturbing to the meditation but fascinating hallucinations started showing themselves for me..

Yeah just try to balance between focus and relaxation, while thinking about your own state of mind in the present. That's how they do it at the Shaolin Temple anyway (sauceing the monk at Tedx). If you're still seeing stuff, then by all means keep going, and document. Don't let me tell you how to live your life of course.

Thanks for the meditation suggestion. Perhaps I'll try that. I think the combination of Anapana and Vipassana meditation are different from the Shaolin approach although they probably have similarities.
I'm not hallucinating/having visions anymore although I can produce/see some if I close my eyes and look at the dots on the eyelid, which then can form into shapes according to my imagination or state of mind or just random. It's not something I am experimenting with these days though.
