@Einstein - I watched a video of Steven Greer on contact with aliens. He actually trains people to do this, and the method he seems to suggest is a deep form of meditation. If I put my mind to meditation, I could accomplish great things through it.
There is just one major problem with trying to meditate, particularly while I'm at home: we have dog, and he's a big barker. He's a sensitive pooch, and we don't know when he's going to bark. One of the key points of meditation, from another video I watched, is to block out all talk and as much noise as possible.
So I'm wondering if meditation is right for me in this situation. Do you think I should try both meditation and using a CB radio? What do you suggest?
