It is rather more important where and how the tent is placed.
These days I spend some time finding a good energy place for my tent. I mainly look for Hartmann lines as sleeping on one is quite uncomfortable for me.
The same applies in houses. As the Hartmann grid is quite tight - about 2 meters by 2 - it is hard to find a house designed and placed so that a double bed can fit easily within the grid.
If I talk to the energy lines they often will move a bit. The electric fields from power lines/cables seem much easier to move, perhaps because the conductors are mostly arbitrarily placed.
In the early days of telegraph wires, there was quite an art to placing them on the landscape so that low voltage did not result in a failed circuit.
" in the process of installing long telegraph wires, engineers discovered that there were electrical potential differences between most pairs of telegraph stations, resulting from natural electrical currents (called telluric currents[4]) flowing through the ground. Some early experimenters did recognize that these currents were, in fact, partly responsible for extending the earth batteries' high outputs and long lifetimes. "
It was found that even when the batteries failed that some telegraph systems continued to work - solely on earth electricity resulting from line placement.
Actually I first check for a positive upflow of energy from the surface - so that it will regenerate my body during sleep. Carlos Castaneda gives an account of such a search which was how I learned to look for those places. It was particularly important when I suffered from sleep apnea and would fall asleep in business meetings unless I arrived first and found the energy point in the room - even moving furniture.
Back to the tent: it is generally better to be immersed in nature so a tent is much better than a vehicle for sleeping when on a spiritual retreat/advance
Fellows, you just gotta know that 8m reaching for anything to stay out of those woods. I even mentioned my closet Mat6:6. Now, not to demean the heart flame exercise. I just can't focus. So I went digging and dug deeper into the forum and found "sun gazing. Apparently it is supposed to do the same exact process and will assist in focusing. I'm really hoping that this will allow me to break through whatever it is that has been blocking me.Ideas, thoughts?
Sun gazing as a physical process is of course somewhat dangerous to the eyes - although at the summer solstice in northern Scotland I occasionally stared at the sun after 9pm when the sun hardly dropped below the horizon.
On two occasions I saw the sun with flat sides. Eventually I realized I was looking at a duodecahedron - the simplest regular solid formed by 12 intersecting planes.
The Flame exercise is a fundamental challenge to the Personal Will as it increases the flow of energy that is beyond the control of the PW. The PW has had a thousand incarnations to prepare for this challenge and has many tricks to distract the human.
An obvious trick is pumping in a stream of distracting thoughts. Another is making the body uncomfortable. Another is giving fake spiritual experiences.
So which will win?
This forum has many references to the PW but not a thread as such.

As I mentioned many vehicles..
Try the things you discover that connect well to you, most will always help in some way even if not the desired.
For me I try not to expect anything. The diamond sutra helped me alot with this development. The more you try to force it the harder it will fight back, it is a part of you.
Accept that you don't see or know it (in the dark) take comfort in the unknowing, and you will be given a contrast so you can clearly see it in the light.
This is my process, not sure how universal it might be. An example I suppose would be I have no idea what will happen in the next 10 minutes. However I know whatever it is I will use what I do know to its highest potential to overcome its passing. The unknowing is now less of a hurdle and more like the process.
I'm horrible at consolidating thoughts so I hope this helps! 😬
I thank you gents a lot for your assistance throughout all of this change that i am going through. I like whatever it is so I'm gonna take what I have and run with it. Hopefully "it" isn't scissors

aloneinthedark I am particular fond of sun gazing myself, however at sunrise/sunset I have tried hard to photograph the flash of green light when the sun sets to no avail.
