Welcome. This board exists so people practising bilateral signalling have somewhere calm to compare notes. Most of you found your way here through a retreat, a circle, or a friend who sits. A few of you found the Meridian papers first and worked backwards. All welcome.
One request before you post. Describe sensations as sensations. "My palms felt warm and the warmth seemed to sit in the gap between them" is a good post. "I made contact with the Counterplane" is not — not because anyone doubts your sincerity, but because it collapses a careful practice into a claim none of us can stand behind.
A short orientation:
- Begin with grounding. Feet, breath, a glass of water, the ordinary room around you. Every good session I have seen starts and ends in the ordinary.
- Do not practise while distressed. If a sitting leaves you shaky, stop. The Quiet Room is here for exactly that.
- Keep Second Sky material contained. No active Second Sky protocols outside Second Sky Watch. Remote-viewing scripts, altered-state work and substance protocols do not belong in beginner threads.
- Meridian is source, not endorsement. Cite the papers freely. Do not present your own impression as something the Institute has validated. It has validated none of this.
We are not a proof-gathering operation. We are people learning to hold two mirrored planes in one field of attention without forcing anything. The mirror holds. The mind remembers. That is enough to be going on with.
