Fastest way to reach the timeless dimension?
What is the fastest way to reach the timeless dimension or a state of being and presence? What ever you want to call it.
I think it would be using death meditation. what do you all think is the fastest way or most effective way?

Or Vipassana, the 16 nanas.
Or actual freedom.
Or yoga.
Or Kundalini.
or...
Hard to tell as one can only have one path; no one can realize enlightenment with one path, then go back to the original situation and follow another path and compare the two.
you have to find the path and techniques that work best for you.
In terms of thinking the past and future happen now. Since the past and future are illusory in that they happen now that follows that 'the present' is illusory as well.
So that is the timeless dimension and you are already in it.
This is very well put and just deserves repeating for emphasis.
I think it depends on the individual since everyone has different karma to overcome.
Death is coming, possibly tomorrow!
There's actually a step-by-step manual for this. I'll warn you however, no matter how good your intentions may be or how energetically you may practice, it is the hardest thing that any being can achieve. It is the greatest achievement. The manual you seek is the Visuddhimagga - The Path of Purification.
It is freely available online for download and you may even find organisations that will freely post out a printed version.
Good luck and tread wisely.
if you believe in astral projection and the planes, stop believing and you'll find the timeless dimension.
and remember, this stuff is extremely difficult :eek:
Fear is not a property of self by nature, but in its natural state it contradicts the self by being aware, where self is just gambling. So the gasmbler reigns by putting the perception on ice, as a thing one feels inside oneself.
And if the fear is not yours, it is the woods that is afraid of you. And you speak 'woods'; it's called laughter.
I'll take this opportunity to mention my (free for download) e-journal/e-book.

Here's a link to my e-book/e-journal, which isn't just a 'journal' but contains some pointers (including the practice of self-inquiry and the method of contemplation that leads to non-dual and anatta insights). Hopefully it will be helpful to readers out there. If you find it helpful, pass the link along to a friend :-)

Excerpt:
Preface & Synopsis
I have compiled some of my recent posts (slightly edited) on Self-Knowledge based on my recent insights and experiences into a .docx file for keeping but later also shared it with others. I will continue to update this document. I would also like to thank my friend Michael Zaurov for helping me in the editing of this document.
This document contains journal entries of my insights and experiences. In short, I have progressed from the direct realization of I AMness, to the refinement of the I AM insight through the four aspects: 1) the aspect of impersonality, 2) the aspect of the degree of luminosity, 3) the aspect of dissolving the need to re-confirm and abide in I AMness and understanding why such a need is irrelevant, 4) the aspect of experiencing effortlessness, followed by the arising insights of non-duality, and then penetrating into the insight of Anatta, all within a short year. Readers may be confused and surprised to see a sharp progression of my view and insights and great difference in content depending on the date the post/article is written, as they read through my writings in this document. In a way, my path is very similar to the path followed by Thusness - Thusness/PasserBy's Seven Stages of Enlightenment and everyone should read his article to have a better understanding of the progression of insight (however note that there is no fixed linear path of progression and each person may differ somewhat). However, I cannot say I have finished my path as of yet – my insights continue to be refined and by documenting them I hope there are useful pointers to all sincere practitioners out there. Feel free to discuss any related issues with me whether by e-mail or forum discussions.
That said – it is simply a guide based on my experience for reference, don’t make it into a bible of sorts. Please don’t just read blindly but investigate yourself to find out what is true in your own experience, for sufferings will never be resolved by an intellectual pursuit. The investigation into the nature of experience must be undertaken very seriously with a deep desire to find out what exactly is the truth of your Being (not just going through the motions of reading them without contemplation), in order for there to be any success and results.

Stay in the present moment. Never leave the present moment. If you can do this, you will live in a timeless forever - not past, no future, only the present moment. It's amazing how time becomes "infinite" when you limit awareness only to the present moment.
Do you really wanna know
