There is a policy of not sharing certain inner experiences with others. Not because I don't want to, but there is no way for words to describe it with any accuracy, and this leads to misunderstanding.
If you have desires, you will find that they will run from you as fast as you chase after them. If you pay them no mind, they will come chasing after you. Don't desire things like powers or siddhas. They will only lead to diversion from your true path. If they manifest during your quest, you'll be developed enough by that time to pay them little attention. If you want to experience astral travel, just dream. The outer city limits of the astral realm is where dreams occur. It is beyond the reaches of physical law, so time distortion is common when returning from there. Ever fall asleep for 5 minutes and find out an hour has passed?
Mantras and such only work for certain people. They never did squat for me. I've always been pretty aware of my true nature, so I was hardwired from a young age. I never had the attraction to rituals for hardwiring the brain.
People have many options for approaching their own divinity. You must feel your way along until something feels right. It will be individual to you and you alone. So sharing of experiences does little good other than fuel the imagination of others.
My meditation is waking meditation. Eyes open. I am centered on waking life of those around me, as well as my own involvement in it.
One part of me is the actor on stage. Another part of me is in the audience watching.
