Enter the unmanifest?

Hi all I am on a spiritual quest to enter the unmanifest. I have my own beliefs and thoughts on this. What I am wanting to see is if there is way to enter the unmanifest while still at least being in a non-meditative state. Eg while being in maybe a light meditative state but still focused and then just making a leap of faith in the unmanifest. In theory at least it might take maybe few months to tops a few years to do.

Any help would be great thanks.
Thanks.

    You are already the unmanifested.

    How can you enter the unmanifest? If 'you' entered something would be manifest! The unmanifest is already here as there is nothing solid to anchor. Time is a construct.

    Hi AstralProjectee,

    It sounds kind of nice that you are already unmanifested and everything, but I guess you know that it doesn't really work that way.

    The Buddhist way into the unmanifested/nirvana/god/whatever is the 8-fold path, which basically means, be wise, loving and have a well trained mind. This means you keep questioning until you have found the answers, be nice and loving to all people and animals and keep practicing your meditation.

    If you do this for a long time, one day you can let go of everything and the unmanifest will come to you. In fact, every moment you follow the path it comes closer and closer.

    Good luck on your quest!
