@Muhammad Jawad have your dreams changed?

So the poster should.... Reach a "very high level of consciousness. Or a great reduction of your ego and it’s habits" before dabbling with lucid dreaming? What would be good reasons for that?

Yeah those were fun, I don't think I finished them...

Yes I talk about this in my thread 'the human dream'

@SirVladimir Something manifested on Facebook today that (imo) perfectly sums up what you said. (even though it doesn't use the word surrender) My comments to add is that I am not peaceful, I am peace. I do not surrender, I am surrender. That's really all I can do, but the obstacles come from what I'm surrendering to. Many many times I'm surrendering to thought. To the speeding trains demanding attention. And then, sometimes.... ****************** From a Bowl of Saki, January 12, by Hazrat Inayat Khan "... It is useless to discuss the peace of the world. What is necessary just now is to create peace in ourselves that we, ourselves, become examples of love, harmony and peace. That is the only way of saving the world and ourselves. Peace is independently felt within oneself. It is not dependent upon the outer sensation. It is something that belongs to one, something that is one's own self. ... Peace is not a knowledge, peace is not a power, peace is not a happiness, but peace is all these. And besides, peace is productive of happiness. Peace inspires one with knowledge of the seen and unseen, and in peace is to be found the divine Presence. It is not the excited one who conquers in this continual battle of life. It is the peaceful one who tolerates all, who forgives all, who understands all, who assimilates all things. The one who lacks peace, with all his possessions, the property of this earth or quality of mind, is poor even with both. He has not got that wealth which may be called divine and without which man's life is useless. For true life is in peace, a life which will not be robbed by death. The secret of mysticism, the mystery of philosophy, all is to be attained after the attainment of peace. You cannot refuse to recognize the divine in a person who is a person of peace. It is not the talkative, it is not the argumentative one, who proves to be wise. He may have intellect, worldly wisdom, and yet may not have pure intelligence, which is real wisdom. True wisdom is to be found in the peaceful, for peacefulness is the sign of wisdom. It is the peaceful one who is observant. It is peace that gives him the power to observe keenly. It is the peaceful one, therefore, who can conceive, for peace helps him to conceive. It is the peaceful who can contemplate; one who has no peace cannot contemplate properly. Therefore, all things pertaining to spiritual progress in life depend upon peace. And now the question is what makes one lack peace? The answer is, love of sensation. A person who is always seeking to experience life in movement, in activity, in whatever form, wants more and more of that experience. In the end he becomes dependent upon the life which is outside, and so he loses in the end his peace, the peace which is his real self. When a person says about someone, 'That person has lost his soul,' the soul is not lost; the soul has lost its peace. Absorption in the outer life, every moment of the day and night, thinking and worrying and working and fighting, struggling along, in the end robs one of one's soul. Even if one gains as the price of that fighting something which is outside oneself, someone who is a greater fighter still will snatch it from our grasp one day. ... the first thing is to seek the kingdom of God within ourselves, ... there is our peace. As soon as we have found that, we have found our support, we have found our self. And in spite of all the activity and movement on the surface, we shall be able to keep that peace undisturbed if only we hold it fast by becoming conscious of it.~ Inayat Kahn

@How to be wise From the Gospel of Thomas 2. And Jesus said, Let the one who seeks continue seeking until what is sought is found. When that which is sought is found the seeker will be wise. Once wise, the seeker will transcend all and will attain rest and will Be at Peace concerning everything.

Think of the things you want to manifest into experience. So for example, joy. Then find a mandala which exumes joy and stick it in there.

IME there is nothing but authenticity. Even inauthenticity is Authentic in the moment.

?? I swear there's this Nahm character who produces a heart opening at least twice a week. Very convenient to keep around ?

Awesome, I like both of your tracks so far! Subscribed ?

❤️ So true. Ugh I thought I picked an easy one but with all the foliage it's still an upward challenge from the last.

Honestly I think 'the acts of decalcifying it' is merely putting a spell on your mind to visualize better, and so you do. TA-DA!

@abrakamowse i love it, but I'm like so ready to abort it ?

No separation.

Takes people watching to a whole new level ?

@How to be wise So what is enlightenment and where did you find it?

Well then write down a new ending, the one you wish to experience

Why should he listen to you on what to pursue? Have you pursued and found enlightenment?

What is a previous state and why would you want to go back to it?

Everything is fine. Sounds like you put yourself in a light trance and started experiencing hypnagognic audible hallucinations and dream memory, yes probably mixed with a strong reaction to your insight.

Exactly! There's really nothing to say, but, enjoy!

If humans are still using the machines for something, especially something as awful as war, then they are not yet dealing with intelligent mechanical beings. So then it's still just the humans at war. And yes that would totally suck.

They're you, silly. They aren't happening anywhere, same as you. Though please don't listen to me, ultimately I know nothing...

(( wow this video.... You don't have to agree with everything it says but, damn if it doesn't hit you in the feels...))
