and there is such chaos to deal with, lol !    just teasing you.....

that must take some getting used to, the positioning of the eyes and leaving them slightly open. I usually close my eyes, and even though I am sitting up when meditating and not laying down, there is a tendency to fall asleep. Usually though, this is due more to lack of sleep than anything else. I will give this idea a try. Thanks both of you.

Paramahansa writes in lesson #154: "But as fully open eyes suggest wakefulness and closed eyes suggest sleep, so half-open eyes signify the physiological state of the eyes during ecstasy. As it is hard to sleep and keep the eyes closed when one is fully awake, and hard to awaken and force the eyes open when one is asleep, so it is difficult to keep the eyes upturned with the lids half-open and half closed. But by practice, you will find your eyes naturally focused at the point between the eyebrows" When the golden glow of the spiritual disc starts to manifest it becomes more easier.
