	[[User:Barbarian216\|Hawaiian]] 21:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)Interesting post regarding Euphoric meditation, but appears "manipulative" in form to "obtain" something in return, when Creational responses should be free will. Never the less, an interesting approach in explaining delusional behaviors that are used to control others who have sinister agendas.

	~~Just have a question, I've know of others who can meditate on a candle and make the flame either larger or extingush it, is this form of meditation good or bad?~~

	And a second question, at some point of meditation through experience, one will become so "aware" of reality, that he/she is able to read the minds of others, "see" their subconscious and actually "communicate" at a higher level (telepathy), in addition "sense" other forms of reality in animals, plants and even written words (essence). What form of meditation is this and is it good or bad?
