Nah, just having a weird dream

Well of course it can only rely on what others tell it ?

Yep, but unfortunately not consistently enough to remember to try things like that. I still just walk about in wonder. Although dream incubation doesn't require being lucid - - it's something you can do right now. It's just that the chances of this outcome manifesting in a dream is less likely than if you attempt it while lucid.

Here's a fun response from philosopherAI: https://philosopherai.com/philosopher/does-something-disappear-when-im-not-looking-at-i-7d9186

@toocrazytobecrazy for fun.

Two reasons, it was rhetorical, and also I enjoy hearing responses

Is there a difference?

I am the moon, when it's appearing.

@toocrazytobecrazy sorry, please see addition to my post above

@toocrazytobecrazy it's not only the moon, but the whole world fades away. Try it. When the world reappears, so does all the others who could tell you that the moon never went anywhere. Do you trust them?

Stare at the moon long enough and it'll fade away. No need to close your eyes. Move your eyes again and it'll reappear, like magic!

Stare at the fridge long enough and it'll fade to grey. Move your eyes again and it'll reappear, like magic!

From 0 to infinity. Thanks that was fun

This is the best I've found so far. I wanted a guided video to help me set a substainable rhythm, and also just because psychologically I do better with the coaching. This video is so spot on!!! Within about a minute I am tingling so hard it's very much like the vibrational stage before astral projection, although I am of course too invigorated for that to happen. I'm going to use this video to do the breathing for longer and longer periods. Enjoy! ?

You're honestly lucky if you can even get an unconscious Christian to meditate, even though it's mentioned often the bible. We were taught that meditation was something they did a long time ago and was no longer necessary, or that it's simply better to pray. The concept is so alien to them, and they rely so heavily on God to tell them what to do and what to think.

@abrakamowse @abrakamowse@a Ah yes, sounds like a cool dream. Well, anythings possible, right? ? Definitely something I can't answer atm but if I really wanted to I could dream about it tonight (I could incubate that exact dream scenario) that's the same thing, I suppose...

@abrakamowse wouldn't it be fun to be God, and one day you say to yourself, 'gosh remember that time I was abrakamowse? Id like to have that dream again'. And voila.

Losing life is inevitable. Yet we cling on anyway. Jesus is speaking about everyone here. We all cling to life, and we all lose it. This of course can be interpreted as either speaking of the physical body or the personality /ego. Like waking up from a long and beautiful dream. The dreams life and story fades with the memory of it, like it never even happened. Like when monks wipe away their mandalas in the sand. He is speaking holistically to a bunch of nobodies, about their matrixed conglomerates of self identifying memory, ie 'lives'. Those that clings to a shadowed existence shall (inevitably) lose it, and those which lose it, find that which remains (or is preserved).

Ah I gotcha, thanks. Just started, still don't last a minute or two but get real heavy tingling, body load and slight euphoria.. Today my left hand was tingling so hard I couldn't even make a fist... I'm assuming this will subside eventually or at least become less intense... ?‍♂️

I dunno ?‍♂️ I did an intuitive interpretation and the word that came up was 'inevitable'. Also, it's kind of like a strange loop. Inevitable perpetuation of something. Or nothing at all. ?

Inevitability.

How long was the breathing session, and how long have you been doing that? And is holotropic breathing the same as the shamanic breathing that leo talks about?

@ajai @Natasha @Meta-Man @ajai Thank you guys so much!! It's so much fun and relaxing ?
