I view meditation as many things, one of them, and the most common as a thinking, specific thinking. If this is true I am in a meditative state for most of my awake, aware, conscious time on this earth. I have also meditated astrally and find it much funner and enjoyable than doing so in the physical, though as one friend put it, "why? Your only on earth for maybe 120-130 years unless nano technology come through".

Opinions please

P.S. I also notice that what Mr. Bruce calls trance is, simply put as "mind awake, body asleep". Yet to me trance seems like a sacred word and something difficult to understand, much less perform!
