Hello everyone, just joined the forum a few minutes ago. I am a member of another forum but it doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic so I'm looking for another place that might be able to help me along my journey. Anyways, I have been meditating consistantly for about 5 months now and have had many experiences. I have always gotten vibrations or chills when I meditate. From there I have experienced seeing eyes and figures while I meditate. I have experience a loss of time while meditating. And just recently I have snapped out of a meditative state and seen writings and symbols, which after doing some research seem to be Runes, or at least that is the closest thing that it looks like. Anyway, that is pretty much the extent of my experience I look forward to getting to know the people on here and also being able to help out where I can, and I'd like to see what everybodies thoughts are on my experiences thus far.
Thanks,
Jimmy

I know, I have spent many of hours trying my hardest to get it going, I suffer from anxiety which stops me from working on a lot of things, I work a full time job, I struggle to focus for long period of times to do any major word of mouth, I spend around $1000 a year trying to get this website going plus server fees as it is a hobby of my choosing, the money does not bother me.
And I all I get is complaints, I spent over 2 years reading a writing information on meditation trying to have decent content for 2 years I battled spam after spam after spam, then I started reading about seo and how to improve my rankings and get listed in all the search engines, I have spent my spare time slowly working on this.
I even spent $600 on books and tutorials, learning how to perform server operations and increase performance of the website this year, I still get between 20 and 50 visits a day most under 5 seconds.
It started to move a bit then everyone starts to complain, this is a hobby for me, this is not corporate run, nor is it run by some rich guy that can fork out thousands of dollars a month on advertising.
I have had 1 donation of $20 just recently and spent it on ads from Reddit which did not get any decent traffic either.
So if you want to come in here and just whine remember who is behind the name, I am just one person who puts the effort in here for people who wish to learn about meditation as meditation and not just as a religion a rite or philosophy, I want this website to be just about meditation.
I have read your threads and posts, though I have been on medication and also have a work injury in my shoulder so I have not been on the computer much the last month.
I have no paid advertisements on here any more, it is a free service that an individual pays for as a hobby.
It is not a busy site as I would truly need either volunteers to get the word out or someone with some money that can back the site, but I as an individual want to keep this site with out of mainstream and out of the "this is how it's done and this is my way" kind of people.
As I have worked hard on this site from time to time sometimes I would work on it for weeks in every spare moment tweaking and trying different things to get it to work for the people who may find the advice on here helpful. Which all takes time.
I hope this helps with your blunt arrogance. But I do not have the funding or the people to help out in this project of mine, I am proud of the outcome as it stands now and if no one cares to put an effort in or ignores this website that is fine. I will keep tinkering and tweaking in my spare time to achieve what I set out to do.
This website is for who ever finds themselves wanting to know about meditation and to discuss meditation, I agree it is to quite, but most people who come here and try to post are self promoting pompous profiteers, as you can see they get deleted and people who want to share there knowledge are free to do so.
I also created this website to get away from all the spiritual garbage that is put on meditation but still give the people a right to do so.
Thanks for your feedback. Also the views are from search engines.

Meditation,
First and foremost, I would like to apologize to you. I know first hand how difficult it is to create and maintain a forum as I have one with some friends that I play video games with. I was in no way trying to discount that effort or trying to put down the site. The site looks really good and I have gained some usefull knowledge from reading through it and am quite thankful for that. Having started meditating about 5 months ago there are a lot of things that I don't know, and some things that happen during my meditations that I can't explain. That is why I signed up for this forum. So that I could speak with like minded individuals about the things that I am experiencing. I guess I was just a little disheartened as a new member that no one even said "Hi" to me when I introduced myself. I'm sure that if you keep rolling with this forum the community will grow and keep getting stronger! I'll keep tabs in here and try to help out where I can.
Thanks,
Jimmy
