I was wondering about the experience of "clicking out"
I found these mentions of it.

The spikes work perfectly in keeping me from
clicking out or falling asleep. From my experiences, that line between being "out" and coming back around is the point where "things happen". It is not easy to hold of course. The spikes tend to bring me too far out sometimes and sometimes I miss them, but it is a great tool for practice and experience with that state. It is the mind awake, body asleep state. This of course is just my experiences with it.
Anyway, something to consider.

What you describe (losing consciousness) is called
"clicking out" by TMI (The Monroe Institute.) The explanation is that your consciousness cannot process the information you are getting in NPMR so you "click out."

The shambala method I learned is to just sit and pay attention to the out breath and this process of the mind
clicking out into an unconcious dream state, the change itself being non-conscious, then waking up to the room and conciousness a few moments or minutes later, and noting this by saying "thinking", then returning to lightly trying to pay attention to the out breath again. Back and forth. Over time, the process puts you in the room with your breath more and more. It can be startling to learn how much of our lives are passed in an unconcious dream state.

Ivan - are you truly falling asleep or just
"clicking out?" Do you wake up in an alert way as soon as the binaural track is over? This probably means that you are in NPMR but just aren't ready to participate in a conscious way yet. Staying conscious in NPMR is kind of the next meditation challenge after you get past all the physical sensation distractions.

The "falling asleep" is called
"clicking out" by The Monroe Institute. It is a common problem. I do it sometimes as well. It is when you are focused on the NPMR (Non Physical Reality) data stream but your conscious mind cannot process the information. So that part of your awareness shuts off for awhile.

As I'm progressing towards the point consciousness state, I tend to lose consciousness... or as some would say,
"click out". Then I'd click back in 10 - 15 minutes later.
Does anyone have any tips in order to keep ones consciousness from fading as you get deeper towards the point consciousness state?
Is it really just a matter of keeping your mind active while the bodily sensory input fades?

You may be falling asleep or you may be
"clicking out". I would say skip finding a teacher unless some synchronicity lands a teacher on your path (just my personal opinion). Express a clear intent as you begin each meditation that you would like to receive guidance with your meditation practice. Make sure that you understand what it is that you are ultimately seeking.
Falling asleep and clicking out is perfectly normal by the way - just keep pressing on (if that is your desire).

I know what you mean about just floating in the void. Sometimes it is hard for me to hang on to that state without going into clicking out or dreaming. I spend a part of almost every meditation doing some kind of healing work. That helps break the meditation up.

Monroe called it
"clicking out." Being half awake and half asleep, for me anyway, can lead to the hypnagogic state, which may actually be a window to NPMR, but I'm not sure.
http://www.my-big-toe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2881&p=70091)Does Tom speak about this phenomenon/non-phenomenon? Is there a better MBT wording to search for?
2)Does anyone get a "bliss wave" rolling over them after they come back from clicking out? (especially the first time?)
3)Can anyone explain phenomenologically what happens the seconds before and after the click out?

This is the fruit of all the meditator's hard work, the first attainment of ultimate reality, emptiness, Nirvana, God or whatever you wish to call it. In this non-state, there is absolutely no time, no space, no reference point, no experience, no mind, no consciousness, no nothingness, no somethingness, no body, no this, no that, no unity, no duality, and no anything else. Reality stops cold and then reappears. Thus, this is impossible to comprehend, as it goes completely and utterly beyond the rational mind and the sensate universe. To “external time” (if someone were observing the meditator from the outside) this lasts only an instant. It is like an utter discontinuity of the space-time continuum with nothing in the unfindable gap.
Thanks,
