I wanted to ask a question about “zoning out” – what exactly is it? I’m guessing it’s just a period where no thought or sensations take place at all. During the actual program, the closest thing to this definition that happens is when some distracting thought invades my mind. I end up identifying with that thought, and then I think something like, “Wait, what? … Oh! Um, bah-hah, bah-hah,” after I start hearing the audio again. Even though my mind is off in la la land, my breath is still in sync with the count.
Here are some quotes about zoning out, that might answer your question.

Q: During the breathing and meditation, I snap into a dream state where I no longer hear the audio. As soon as I realize this, I snap myself out of it. Should I restart the program when this happens?
A: You don’t need to restart the program. This is called “zoning”. It is perfectly normal and a good sign that something is happening. It is a positive sign that your subconscious is beginning to process and heal.

Q: (L) I would like to know if you have any comments to make on the progress of our breathing and meditation program for the readers of our forum and perhaps other people who are practicing it about whom we know nothing?
A: It is already having effects in other realms.
Q: (L) What other realms?
A: 4, 5, 6D.
Q: (L) In what respect?
A: Humans should remember the hermetic maxim can go both ways in some respects. Those who are destined to "meet" themselves in the future can now do so with greater facility due to these efforts. We once said that "you in the future" could "rewrite" cosmic programs... that goes for others too. They are now learning the programming language.
Q: (L) A number of people on the forum have talked about the zoning out thing, the, ya know... while still awake seemingly, losing all awareness of self and just kind of zoning out. What is this phenomenon?
A: See previous answer and think of it as spending "time" with the higher self/teacher instead of wasting the ability to dissociate on futile illusions. Also remember that "time" spent in this process utilizes this "soul ability" as it was originally intended. It taxes the soul greatly to be embodied.

When I zone out, its like I lose all awareness and when I snap back into consciousness again, its like Ive been in a timeless state. There might be different types of "zoning out", then again I'm not to clear on what zoning out is either. Hope this helps.
