@James123 so we can ask you anything now?

Here we go again ?

@JayG84 naturally ? the more I am aware during the day, the better chance of getting a lucid dream. Also after some insights lucid dreaming is possible for me. My awareness is all over the place. One day super aware, another day just falling asleep again and might become aware only before going to bed. Who knows, I am reading Peter Ralston at night, maybe his book triggered something , lol ?

I had another lucid dream recently, it was the most wonderful experience ever . So not necessarily that we lose this awareness while sleeping. In my dream I was climbing this huge mountain. Then all of a sudden I realized I was sleeping. I started to look around and could not believe that all that nature was just a dream. It was so pretty!!! I knew I was in a Swiss Alps. ( I was there a year ago in real life) I picked up a rock and wanted to understand its substance. My attention switched back to my hands. However, it was so pretty that I stopped again and picked up a flower that was growing there. I looked at the Sun and the feeling was amazing. I have never experienced anything like that in my real life. I knew I was alone, but I was not scared. Lucid dreaming is just wow. I can not trigger them on my own. But when I have one it is just a beautiful experience.

I feel you. In fact, this week I was talking to my graduate advisor pretty much about the same thing. I hit the wall. I have been in college since 2003. I graduated with my first bachelor's in 2009, then started in 2012 with my second bachelors, graduating this summer, took so much time because I was working full time and only took two classes per semester. I can not even think about my master's but I have already made up my mind that I want to be that 8% of people in the USA who hold MS. Also I have a dilemma as well. I have been dreaming to take this micro masters in MIT in SCM with transfer path. I really do not know what to do. To stay in my university, ( I have already been accepted for MS program in Supply Chain) or to risk and try myself. However, I hate statistics with all my heart and this is the only thing that keeps me from my dream. Here is what I think, I do not know about you. But my MS in SCM will help me a lot even!!! if I want to live and work in Europe. Who knows what will happen here in US in ten years or so, we have to be open for all kind of opportunities. I would say go for it. It is only 2-3 years and you will be golden. I would keep that job and would do a master program. Think about it, only 8% of people in US hold masters. It will open the doors for you on the job market. In supply chain people go for masters for senior positions. It is never too late. But better to take care of it now. Later on in life you will have family and kids and it will be harder for you. Working full time and studying is hard, but a lot of people do it. Maybe do not take a lot of credits and do it in a slower pace. Good luck!

@dimitri It does

@dimitri but he could go using a shuttle bus from west Ukraine to Poland easily, when the situation with Covid will get better.

@dimitri @Denys LOL, EU is closed for Ukrainians right now. My mom can not fly from Austria (her home country now) to Ukraine to see her family since they closed borders. She told me they opened some countries in Europe she can easily fly into, but not Ukraine.

@Denys What part of Ukraine do you live? If closer to the west, have you considered a polish market or any market of the EU?

@justfortoday ?

@StarStruck Sedona Method, sorry ?

@StarStruck Sedona, of course. Here is the fact card for you: There are four basic wants: control, security/survival, approval/love and the desire for separation. All our emotions stem from these four basic wants. Nine emotional states are: (from lowest -> to highest) Apathy, Grief, Fear, Lust, Anger, Pride, Courageousness, Acceptance, Peace. Each state has its own subset. It is actually very easy. This book shed some light on my emotional states.

I have my own astrologist for over two years. I trust her a lot. She has done the natal charts for all my lady friends with accuracy at almost 97%. This thing is very real if of course is taken within the realm of our relative reality. If I have time astrology would be my hobby. Knowing people's sun and moon signs!!!! is very helpful.

The simplest way is to remember that your-self concept is just a collection of thoughts about yourself. @Romer02 I would not say that it will inflate the ego, but rather will create an attachment. Let go and do not to cling to the experience itself. "There is just an experience in reality and it has nothing to do with "you". So in the situation when you would like to take any ownership of anything, just let go and move on. You are not your thoughts, emotions and feelings. You are the one who observes them. Refocus your awareness, pull back and enjoying seeing everything as a raw experience. Also, the more you wait the harder it will be to let go. Observe your ego and do not get involved. Like truly. It will act as a crazy animal sometimes, so let is just be. Seat in "the back" of your consciousness and have fun. This way you will be dissolving ego day by day. Once it dissolves you should see your true nature that has nothing to do with ego. Simply notice that you are (who notices things) are distinct from what you are experiences. Actually it's easy and fun

@James123 Nice

Something I would like to share, was ordering his book ("Pursuing Consciousness" )and found this video:

@Corpus Lol, have not placed my order yet, okay, if you say so...will order three at a time. Actually these three books in bundle on Amazon.

@Flyboy Okay, wonderful, I have a book list+The Ultimate Life Purpose Course, so all my books are from that list. Thank you for your feedback, I am looking forward reading it

Oh good to know, I do not think it is something that I will like it. But I have ordered another book, no worries.

@Consilience @James123 Have you guys read any of his (Ralston's) books?

I do not think that he wants to be a teacher. We are just "talking" and since there is not a lot to talk we have to share ideas somehow.

how much was the workshop? and where was the location? I want to attend one as well, just curious. Is it in San Francisco?

This is so true???, they are just feelings, even though some of them have this unique not quite pleasant sensation!

@James123 thanks , it is exactly what I am doing right now, I mentioned it in my other posts ? but honestly it is on and off during the day, losing it, then remember about it again. But I am aware at least couple of times during one hour, but can’t hold this awareness for a long time, drowning in the objects or people.
