"So, to increase the effect of contemplation, would I be correct in starting to contemplate more while everyone else is asleep? Say around 3:00 am in the morning? At least until I can become conscious at will in the dream state?"
JJ:
It matters not when you contemplate, for at any given hour about a third of the population of the earth is asleep. Someone else being asleep or awake should have no effect on your meditation or contemplation.
Jody:
"Also, in essence, when I plant the seed thought, aren't I also becoming the one who waters it by giving it attention?"
JJ:
Yes, you stir the waters by giving a seed thought your attention and this is a good thing as long as you give it a rest from time to time.
Jody:
"I noticed the tingling sensation in the third eye is the build up of energy. I also noticed that the energy is not always there but that I can build it up when I meditate and breath in and out and the energy returns. Would I be correct in assuming that with this energy build up, this would be the best time to contemplate or plant our seed thoughts?"
JJ:
Not necessarily. Such sensations indicate that new energy petals are opening up and this is a time for adjustment. During this transition time it is often more difficult than usual to contemplate. Try to follow your soul as to how you meditate during this period and do not overdue it. Concentrate instead on adjusting to the energies until they feel normal and do not over-stimulate the centers where these sensations are occurring.
As far as the dream state goes -- to understand this we must understand what happens at sleep. During sleep our mental vehicle leaves and goes to other spheres. Because it is not connected to the brain during sleep there is no memory of what we did in this body upon awakening. However, our emotional body is still connected to our physical during sleep and because it feels instead of thinks we have dreams representing feelings without logical thought connected to it. This is why dreams are so nonsensical. Some put a lot of attention on lucid dreaming by drawing some mental energy into the dream state. This can actually take away some attention of the mind from its activities in higher spheres. A better course is to follow the mental body out of the physical during sleep by concentrating on the third eye and staying focussed in your mental self as you fall asleep.
