  2. How do I be less logical with a girl and more emotional?
    How do I be less logical with a girl and more emotional?
    @integration journey
    What I have to say on this is apparently different from the rest, but here it is:
    Being overly logical comes from being "in your head".
    Being in your head is a state of being dissociated from your body.
    This can be caused by different things, usually a combination:
    Having a job that requires you to be logical Having friends that like to relate on a logical level Caffeine Trauma response, being triggered Fear / fight-or-flight state. This is very common when doing something high stakes, such as approaching girls sober or speaking in public. The solution is to practice on a daily basis to check in with your body.
    Become aware of how you are feeling, again and again, until you develop a consistent awareness.
    Learn what it feels like to be tense and in your head, and learn to consciously relax and drop your awareness down to your belly.
    This can take months to get better at, but it is the answer.
    There's tons of exercises that can help with that, such as:
    Body awareness practice Active meditations by Osho Breathwork Ecstatic dance ... so many more But the most important thing is to become aware: how am I feeling, what sensations are there, what emotions are there.
    Do this as a habit, several times per day.
    Developing basic body awareness will teach you a lot about yourself.
    From there, having this awareness, you can share it:
    You can talk about how things make you feel.
    You can layer more emotions into your storytelling, because now you are aware of them.
    Your stories become captivating and interesting this way.
    People and girls will now instantly feel more connected to you.
    Because emotions and feelings make people feel that they can relate to you and trust you. Not logic.
    Hope that helps ?

  5. Systems Theory
    Systems Theory: The Most Accurate Rational Understanding of Spirituality & Life
    A Zen Master lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain.
    One evening, while he was away, a thief sneaked into the hut only to find there was nothing in it to steal. The Zen Master returned and found him.
    “You have come a long way to visit me,” he told the prowler, “and you should not return empty-handed. Please take my clothes as a gift.” 
    The thief was bewildered, but he took the clothes and ran away. He thought:
    'What a buffoon. At least, I got away with these clothes.'
    The Master sat naked, watching the moon.
    “Poor fellow,” he mused, ” I wish I could give him this beautiful moon.”

    A solid understanding of systems theory + a practical spiritual integration of its primary principles is essential for the investigation of truth. In fact, for a life dedicated to greater understanding, fulfillment and happiness at the deepest level.
    As you view reality through the lens of systems theory, you'll see avenues you have yet to explore in your spiritual journey. It is a forever open feedback channel that is left within the system until your last breath.
    Spoiler Alert: Your entire mind/body system and reality structure is expressed within the core principles of systems theory.
    Here are some of my explorations and studies into systems theory.
    The Essence of Systems Theory
    1- Understand the Key Harmony of the System
    Before you disturb the system in any way, watch how it behaves.
    If it’s a piece of music or a whitewater rapid or a fluctuation in a commodity price, study its beat. If it’s a social system, watch it work. Learn its history. Ask people who’ve been around a long time to tell you what has happened. 
    This guideline is deceptively simple. Until you make it a practice, you won’t believe how many wrong turns it helps you avoid. Starting with the behavior of the system forces you to focus on facts, not theories. It keeps you from falling too quickly into your own beliefs or misconceptions, or those of others.
    It’s amazing how many misconceptions there can be. People will swear that rainfall is decreasing, say, but when you look at the data, you find that what is really happening is that variability is increasing—the droughts are deeper, but the floods are greater too.
    It’s especially interesting to watch how the various elements in the system do or do not vary together. Watching what really happens, instead of listening to peoples’ theories of what happens, can explode many careless causal hypotheses.
    Every selectman in the state of New Hampshire seems to be positive that growth in a town will lower taxes, but if you plot growth rates against tax rates, you find a scatter as random as the stars in a New Hampshire winter sky. There is no discernible relationship at all.
    Starting with the behavior of the system directs one’s thoughts to dynamic, not static, analysis—not only to “What’s wrong?” but also to “How did we get there?” “What other behavior modes are possible?” “If we don’t change direction, where are we going to end up?”
    And looking to the strengths of the system, one can ask “What’s working well here?”
    Starting with the history of several variables plotted together begins to suggest not only what elements are in the system, but how they might be interconnected.
    And finally, starting with history discourages the common and distracting tendency we all have to define a problem not by the system’s actual behavior, but by the lack of our favorite solution.  - The problem is, we need to find more oil. The problem is, we need to ban abortion. The problem is, we don’t have enough salesmen. The problem is, how can we attract more growth to this town?
    Listen to any discussion, in your family or a committee meeting at work or among the pundits in the media, and watch people leap to solutions, usually solutions in “predict, control, or impose your will” mode, without having paid any attention to what the system is doing and why it’s doing it.
    2- Explore Your Mental Models Clearly (After Direct Experience)
    When we draw structural diagrams and then write equations, we are forced to make our assumptions visible and to express them with rigor. We have to put every one of our assumptions about the system out where others (and we ourselves) can see them.
    Our models have to be complete, and they have to add up, and they have to be consistent. Our assumptions can no longer slide around (mental models are very slippery), assuming one thing for purposes of one discussion and something else contradictory for purposes of the next discussion.
    You don’t have to put forth your mental model with diagrams and equations, although doing so is a good practice. The more you do that, in any form, the clearer your thinking will become, the faster you will admit your uncertainties and correct your mistakes, and the more flexible you will learn to be.
    Mental flexibility—the willingness to redraw boundaries, to notice that a system has shifted into a new mode, to see how to redesign structure—is a necessity when you live in a world of flexible systems.
    3- Respect Data & Information Channels
    Information (both conceptual and non-conceptual) holds systems in harmony whereas delayed, biased, scattered, corrupted or missing data can make feedback loops malfunction.
    For instance, decision makers can’t respond to information they don’t have, can’t respond accurately to information that is inaccurate, and can’t respond in a timely way to information that is late. I would guess that most of what goes wrong in systems goes wrong because of biased, late, or missing information.
    If I could, I would add an eleventh commandment to the first ten: Thou shalt not distort, delay, or withhold information.
    You can drive a system crazy by muddying its information streams. You can make a system work better with surprising ease if you can give it more timely, more accurate, more complete information.
    4 - Attend to What is Important, Not What is Immediately Perceivable and Quantifiable
    Our culture, obsessed with numbers, has given us the idea that what we can measure is more important than what we can’t measure. Think about that for a minute. It means that we make quantity more important than quality. 
    If quantity forms the goals of our feedback loops, if quantity is the center of our attention and language and institutions, if we motivate ourselves, rate ourselves, and reward ourselves on our ability to produce quantity, then quantity will be the result.
    You can look around and make up your own mind about whether quantity or quality is the outstanding characteristic of the world in which you live.
    Pretending that something doesn’t exist if it’s hard to quantify leads to faulty models. You’ve already seen the system trap that comes from setting goals around what is easily measured, rather than around what is important.
    So don’t fall into that trap. Human beings have been endowed not only with the ability to count, but also with the ability to assess quality.
    Be a quality detector. Be a walking, noisy Geiger counter that registers the presence or absence of quality.
    No one can quite define or measure justice, democracy, security, freedom, truth, or love. No one can define or measure any value.
    But if no one speaks up for them, if systems aren’t designed to produce them, if we don’t directly experience and radiate them, if we dont point toward their presence or absence, they will cease to exist within the social reality the system is based on.
    5- Generate Feedback Policies Within Feedback Loops
    President Jimmy Carter had an unusual ability to think in feedback terms and to make feedback policies. Unfortunately, he had a hard time explaining them to a press and public that didn’t understand feedback. Let me explain:
    Carter was trying to deal with a flood of illegal immigrants from Mexico. He suggested that nothing could be done about that immigration as long as there was a great gap in opportunity and living standards between the United States and Mexico. Rather than spending money on border guards and barriers, he said, we should spend money helping to build the Mexican economy, and we should continue to do so until the immigration stopped.
    That never happened. This is a failure of feedback policy.
    You can imagine why a dynamic, self-adjusting feedback system cannot be governed by a static, unbending policy.
    It’s easier, more effective, and usually much cheaper to design policies that change depending on the state of the system.
    Especially where there are great uncertainties, the best policies not only contain feedback loops, but meta-feedback loops—loops that alter, correct, and expand loops. These are policies that design learning into the management process.
    6- Value the Good of the Whole
    Remember that hierarchies exist to serve the bottom layers, not the top.
    Don’t maximize parts of systems or subsystems while ignoring the whole. Don’t, as Kenneth Boulding once said, go to great trouble to optimize something that never should be done at all.
    Aim to enhance total systems properties, such as growth, stability, diversity, resilience, and sustainability—whether they are easily measured or not.
    7- Listen to the Wisdom of the System
    Aid and encourage the forces and structures that help the system run itself.
    Notice how many of those forces and structures are at the bottom of the hierarchy. Don’t be an unthinking intervenor and destroy the system’s own self-maintenance capacities.
    Before you charge in to make things better, pay attention to the value of what’s already there.
    Get a feel for what to play with and what to allow its maturation process to unfold at its own pace.
    8- Locate Responsibility Within the System & Open its Feedback Channels
    That’s a guideline both for analysis and design. In analysis, it means looking for the ways the system creates its own behavior.
    Do pay attention to the triggering events, the outside influences that bring forth one kind of behavior from the system rather than another. Sometimes those outside events can be controlled (as in reducing the pathogens in drinking water to keep down incidences of infectious disease). But sometimes they can’t.
    You need to accept that.
    And sometimes blaming or trying to control the outside influence blinds one to the easier task of increasing responsibility within the system.
    “Intrinsic responsibility” means that the system is designed to send feedback about the consequences of decision making directly and quickly and compellingly to the decision makers.
    In a sense, the pilot of a plane rides in the front of the plane, that pilot is intrinsically responsible. He or she will experience directly the consequences of his or her decisions.
    Designing a system for intrinsic responsibility could mean, for example, requiring all towns or companies that emit wastewater into a stream to place their intake pipes downstream from their outflow pipe. It could mean that neither insurance companies nor public funds should pay for medical costs resulting from smoking or from accidents in which a motorcycle rider didn’t wear a helmet or a car rider didn’t fasten the seat belt
    A great deal of responsibility was lost when rulers of a nation who declared war were no longer expected to lead the troops into battle. 
    These few examples are enough to get you thinking about how little our current culture has come to look for responsibility within the system that generates an action, and how poorly we design systems to experience the consequences of their actions.
    9- Always Stay a Student
    Systems thinking has taught me to trust my intuition more and my figuring- out rationality less, to lean on both as much as I can, but still to be prepared for surprises.
    Working with systems, on the computer, in nature, among people, in organizations, constantly reminds me of how incomplete my mental models are, how complex the world is, and how much I don’t know.
    That’s hard. It means making mistakes and, worse, admitting them. It means what psychologist Don Michael calls “error-embracing.” It takes a lot of courage to embrace your errors
    10- Embrace Complexity
    Let’s face it, the universe is messy. It is nonlinear, turbulent, and dynamic. It spends its time in transient behavior on its way to somewhere else, not in mathematically neat equilibria. It self-organizes and evolves. It creates diversity and uniformity.
    That’s what makes the world interesting, and that’s what makes it beautiful.
    There’s something within the human mind that is attracted to straight lines and not curves, to whole numbers and not fractions, to uniformity and not diversity, and to certainties and not mystery.
    But there is something else within us that has the opposite set of tendencies, since we ourselves evolved out of and are shaped by and structured as complex feedback systems.
    Only a part of us, a part that has emerged recently, designs buildings as boxes with uncompromising straight lines and flat surfaces.
    Another part of us recognizes instinctively that nature designs in fractals, with intriguing detail on every scale from the microscopic to the macroscopic. That part of us makes Gothic cathedrals and Persian carpets, symphonies and novels, Mardi Gras costumes and artificial intelligence programs, all with embellishments almost as complex as the ones we find in the world around us.
    We can, and some of us do, celebrate and encourage self-organization, disorder, variety, and diversity. Some of us even make a conscious moral commitment of doing so.
    11- Expand the Time Axiom
    One of the worst ideas humanity ever had was the interest rate, which led to the further ideas of payback periods and discount rates, all of which provide a rational, quantitative excuse for ignoring the long term.
    The official time horizon of industrial society doesn’t extend beyond what will happen after the next election or beyond the payback period of current investments.
    Don't make the same mistake.
    In a strict systems sense, there is no long term and short-term distinction.
    Phenomena at different time-scales are nested within each other.
    Actions taken now have some immediate effects and some that radiate out for decades to come. We experience now the consequences of actions set in motion yesterday and decades ago and centuries ago.
    The couplings between very fast processes and very slow ones are sometimes strong, sometimes weak. When the slow ones dominate, nothing seems to be happening; when the fast ones take over, things happen with breathtaking speed.
    Systems are always coupling and uncoupling the large and the small, the fast and the slow.
    When you’re walking along a tricky, curving, unknown, surprising, obstacle-strewn path, you’d be a fool to keep your head down and look just at the next step in front of you. You’d be equally a fool just to peer far ahead and never notice what’s immediately under your feet.
    You need to be watching both the short and the long term—the whole system.
    12 - Defy the Disciplines
    In spite of what you majored in, or what the textbooks say, or what you think you’re an expert at, follow a system wherever it leads. It will be sure to lead across traditional disciplinary lines.
    To understand that system, you will have to be able to learn from—while not being limited by—economists and chemists and psychologists and theologians.
    You will have to penetrate their jargons, integrate what they tell you, recognize what they can honestly see through their particular lenses, and discard the distortions that come from the narrowness and incompleteness of their lenses.
    They won’t make it easy for you. But you can do it.
    Seeing systems whole requires more than being “interdisciplinary,” if that word means, as it usually does, putting together people from different disciplines and letting them talk past each other.
    Interdisciplinary communication works only if there is a real problem to be solved, and if the representatives from the various disciplines are more committed to solving the problem than to being academically correct.
    They will have to go into learning mode. They will have to admit ignorance and be willing to be taught, by each other and by the system.
    It can be done. But, ego gets in the way if not careful.
    13- Expand the Boundary of Care - Empathy - Compassion - Love
    Living successfully in a world of complex systems means expanding not only time horizons and thought horizons; above all, it means expanding the horizons of caring.
    There are moral reasons for doing that, of course. And if moral arguments are not sufficient, then systems thinking provides the practical reasons to back up the moral ones.
    The real system is interconnected. No part of the human race is separate either from other human beings or from the global ecosystem.
    It will not be possible in this integrated world for your heart to succeed if your lungs fail, or for your company to succeed if your workers fail, or for the rich in Los Angeles to succeed if the poor in Los Angeles fail, or for Europe to succeed if Africa fails, or for the global economy to succeed if the global environment fails.
    As with everything else about systems, most people already know about the interconnections that make moral and practical rules turn out to be the same rules. They just have to bring themselves to experience that which they know.

  6. Applying Jungian Peterson concepts to SD
    Applying Jungian Peterson concepts to SD
    I have to admit that what I'm presenting is merely based on a flash of insight and is probably incoherent on some level or at least not very substantial in the grand scheme of things, but it has a certain beauty to it, and it was really fun to make. I still maintain that the methodology I used to derive each category is consistent on at least a superficial level (without reading too much into the Jungian concepts, treating them mostly with your intuitive understanding from simply hearing the words). All in all, treat it mainly like art, and whatever ideas I present, take it with a grain of salt (or none):

     
    I'll try to explain some of my thought process, but first let's agree it looks pretty aesthetically pleasing (thanks to my Paint skills ), and the fact that the colors of the arrows display some type of trans-symmetry (remember chemistry?). Interpreting what the arrows mean is pretty straightforward once you read the next paragraphs (or not even that).
    1:24:52 - 1:27:38 Jordan Peterson says that when he looks at what is happening on the "far left edge", what he sees is an "existential issue", or an issue of archetypes and their relationship to values, which consists of "the Tyrannical Father", "the Benevolent Father", "the Tyrannical Mother", and "the Benevolent Mother."
     
    Let's use his implication that the far left edge (Green) are primarily characterized by the Tyrannical Mother (TM) as a working hypothesis. Let's also say that "mother" generally denotes collectivism. According to SD, each stage both reacts to and contains some elements of the previous stage, and that each consecutive stage oscillates from individualistic to collectivistic.
    For Green (a collectivist stage), the preceding stage was Orange (an individualistic stage), which means it has to contain an individualistic element, denoted by "father", but in a sub-ordinate position, hence "mother - father." For now, let's stick with Green as "TM > xF" (Tyrannical Mother - x Father):

     
    Let's get the easy ones over with first: a) fill the Tier 2 stages with benevolence and b) fill the lowest Tier 1 stages with the opposite (tyranny):
    a) Yellow is "BF > BM" because of individualism, and Turquoise is "BM > BF" because of collectivism:
    In other words, in the transition from Yellow to Turquoise, or the flip from  "BF > BM" with Benevolent Father in front to "BM > BF" with Benevolent Mother in front, denotes the transition from an individualist, fatherly, self-improvement perspective to a collectivist, motherly, community-based perspective (which still retains some Yellow individualism, hence the BF sub-ordinate position).
     
    b) Here I opted to make Beige individualism-only because there is no preceding collectivist stage that it can draw from, hence it's only "Tyrannical Father" (TF). It also kind of makes sense when you consider the traits of Beige (autistic, narcissistic, "survival at all cost"):

     
    Purple and Red each mirror Turquoise and Yellow (Purple: "TM > TF" ; Red: "TF > TM"): the flip from Purple "TM > TF" with Tyrannical Mother in front to Red "TF > TM" with Tyrannical Father in front denotes the transition from a collectivist, motherly tribal perspective to an individualist, fatherly kingdom perspective (which indeed still retains some Purple collectivism, hence the TM sub-ordinate position):

     
    Next up is Blue. The logical next step would be to ask ourselves what distinguishes Blue from Red: What is added? What is retained? What is added is arguably a more inclusive collectivist component that isn't merely tribecentric (one tribe) but ethnocentric (many similar tribes/societies with similar values, rituals etc.), hence a more "Benevolent Mother": "BM > TF." Here too of course, the Tyrannical Father component from Red is retained in the sub-ordinate position:

     
    With Orange, you simply flip it around, just like with Purple&Red and Yellow&Turquoise : "BM > TF" to "TF > BM." Again, the collectivist component (now from Blue) is integrated in the sub-ordinate position: it's the re-awakening of the Tyrannical Father (flashback to Red) with the Benevolent Mother in the back, further evolving the circle of concern to sociocentric/early-worldcentric, fueled by the self-assertive claim to truth and personal autonomy through individual thought and rationality: free speech, free thought and free governance (democracy):

     
    Finally we've gotten to the last missing piece; Green's sub-ordinate position: the "xF" in "TM > xF" (Tyrannical Mother, x Father). Who is the missing father? Can you guess who? It's the Benevolent Father ("TM > BF"):

    This is probably the most anomalous change in terms of line up (and maybe that is the point): the Tyrannical Father evolves for the first time into the Benevolent Father, and the Benevolent Mother turns into the Tyrannical Mother. Did the Tyrannical Father internalize the Benevolent Mother in order to become benevolent? I'll leave that for you to decide. Regardless, it seems to fit well with how the Green Tyrannical Mother is a flashback to Purple just like the Orange Tyrannical Father is a flashback to Red, and also the progression into Tier 2, where the tyrannical aspects of Green are finally subsumed by Tier 2's benevolence.
    Thank you for reading my pseudo-intellectual art project!

    We live in an economic bubble that will almost certainly burst.  America and Europe are likely to decline as global leaders, as Asia rises.  The divide between the rich and poor is increasing globally.  There is a trend of moving from centralization to decentralization - in technology, finance, business, government, and communication, and other fields.   Life expectancy is increasing, while birth rates decrease globally.  More people are staying single and childless.  Young people are increasingly seeking purpose, sustainability, and spiritual meaning. There is a global mental health crisis, with ¼ of adults in the developed world suffering from depression and anxiety.  Big data has become big business, and it’s exposing our blind spots and weaknesses. Phones and social media are designed to be more addictive. Data privacy is an increasing concern. . Automation and robotics are changing the job landscape.  Artificial Intelligence is increasing in power, causing ethical concerns.  Biotech and nanotech are simultaneously a source of hope and existential risks.  Immigration is changing the face of nations. Whites will no longer be the majority of US and Europe by mid century.  There is a rise in totalitarian governments and technology companies. Surveillance is increasing.  Climate change and environmental destruction will increase natural disasters, diseases, food and water shortages, supply chain disruption, regional conflicts, and mass migration.

    "She bathed herself in the shower in the middle of a nebulae gently scrubbing herself all over with quarks and neutrons while thinking about the elephant dick she sucked last night in a black hole. This dick wrapped around the entire solar system and had thousands of women stars congregating around the hole every time it was ready to explode in their planetary faces to rip a hole in space-time for a new world to be created. The cum dripped down all the women's planetary faces and then new life began to spawn all over, new species arose after millions of years of cum squirting evolution, mutation after mutation, orgasm after orgasm. The woman then exited the shower, put on her cum stained space suit and shot off out of Jesus' dick and back onto Earth to suck more astronaut-dick for their outer-space travel inspirations. One can daydream."

  9. Benefits of Astral Projections and Lucid Dreams hardly anyone knows about
    Benefits of Astral Projections and Lucid Dreams hardly anyone knows about
    (OBEs: Out of Body Experiences include:  LDs: Lucid Dreams, APs: Astral Projections and STs: Soul Travels)
    I bet I've listed some you haven't heard of:
    Psychedelics: You can materialize and take 5-Me0-DMT in lucid dreams and become enlightened or take sth like N,N DMT and have a fun trip.  
    Meet ups: If you are advanced, you can go into other people's dreams or meet other travelers in dreams, APs and STs  
     It is possible to induce full OBEs in less than 10 seconds. If you are able to go into the hypnotic Esdaile State and anchor it, you can enter it in a few seconds, and if you know what you're doing, you can relatively easiliy induce OBEs from there. For example Marco Lorenz can do that.  
     It is possible to pull someone out of their physical body while they are sleeping. Marco Lorenz and Jonathan Dilas used to this with the participans of their seminars (I believe Jonathan is still doing it). During the night they would pull them out of their physical bodies, then astral travel together, and on the next morning share their experience and notice a huge overlap.  
    You can talk with your guiding spirits, real aliens, deceased people, spirits,...  
     Splitting your consciousness: You can split your consciousness in LDs and APs (and probably STs as well), thus be able to inhabit many independent bodies having independent experiences at once. This allows things like inhabiting a male and female body and then having sex with yourself. And most importantly, it allows you to experience far more in the same time. If you have an OBE for 5 minutes and inhabit 5 bodies, you experience 25 minutes  
    Time Dilation:  - In LDs: You can deliberately dilate time in dreams and thus experience for example 1 hour of dream-time in 5 minutes of Earth-time. It is possible but very difficult.
    - In APs: Time is relative. You can for example project to a place where 1h Earth-time equals 5min or 5h. For example Marco Lorenz once projected to a paralel reality and stayed there for 6 months while only 8 hours passed in Earth-time. 
     
     (video is in german)
    Here I wrote in more detail about splitting consciousness and time dilation: 
     
     
     
     OBEs during the whole night. Usually when someone has an OBE it is during the day or when you are in REM sleep. So you usually have alpha or theta brain waves. It is generally believed that you can't have OBEs during SWS (Slow Wave Sleep / deep sleep, when you have delta brain waves, 0.5-4hz). I'm not 100% sure yet but I believe OBEs are also possible during SWS, here are my reasons: I have heard several people say/write that it is possible and that they have done it Tibetan monks are able to stay aware during the whole night, including SWS. They (including the Dalai Lama) are aware of Awareness, thus a nondual state. So if they can be aware of Awareness then it should also be able to project onto a plane with a body. Soul Travles (STs) are said to happen when your brainwaves are in 0-0.5hz, that is even lower than what happens during deep sleep. So it's not only that it seems that OBEs are possible during low brainwaves, but that certain OBEs, STs are only possible with very low brainwaves. That means you should be able to project the whole night, 8 hours each day, that makes 29 200 hours after 10 years. 99.999% of people waste that time.
     
    Extra Time: If we combine the last 3 points: Splitting consciousness + time dilation + OBEs during the whole night we get an incredible amount of time which can be used for all sorts of things.  
    Soul Travel: I don't know much about it but it is said to be far more epic than astral travel  
    You can explore our actual physical universe and the past. This for example allows you to check in your direct experience which conspiracy theories are true and which are false. But you would need to be extremely careful, because it is very easy to see something which is not actually there but created or distorted by you. So you would need to be very advanced and do a lot of cross referencing of what other advanced OBEers report.  
    Future. You can view probable future scenarios of earth. And you can see how different timelines of your life would develop depending on what choices you make. So for example you can preview the most likely scenario of what will happen in a week or in 10 years if you now choose job A versus job B.  
    Explore paralell Realities  
    Explore all of Creation. You are God so you should be able to explore all of Creation, be it past present or future.   
    Escape the Matrix: All advanced OBEers I studied say similiar things about that topic. Their investigations made them come to the conclusion that we live in a kinda simulation, a matrix. The Matrix includes many astral planes, so after death, you are still within the Matrix. First you go through a tunnel and a white light, then you meet deceased people and some Guides, then after a while you get an amnesia shot and then are sent back to earth. That's the reincarnation cycle. Aliens created the matrix so that souls can have a certain experience, like being human. (There are obviously many many more Matrixes). All advanved OBE practioners I looked into (John Kreiter, Don Juan, Carlos Castenada, David McCready, Jonathan Dilas, Marco Lorenz,...) agree that this is the case, even scientists and people like Elon Musk believe we live in a simulation. Now, the matrix was actually a good thing because it allows souls to have a particular experience, but many researchers believe (including the OBEers John Kreiter, Don Juan, Carlos Castenada and Jonathan Dilas) that it was hijacked by malevolent aliens a couple of thousand years ago. If you know what they have planned for the upcoming years, it might be worth considering to leave the matrix. There are several possibilites: Don't fall for the Light Trap. Instead of going into the light after death, you search for a hole (which looks black) in the artifically set up grid and escape through it. OBEing allows you to verify for yourself whether this is true and it will probably be easier to escape if you are an OBEer, but it is definitely not necessary  You create a double body while still alive and make it more and more solid (through having OBEs with it) till you can transfer your whole consciousness to it and then  just leave your physical body behind for good and then try to escape the Matrix. Read John Kreiters books: The magnum opus and the way of the projectionist. Dissociation. Jonathan Dilas talks about that as another option. (you can google-translate his blog: Matrixblogger.de) Become enlightened. Religions tell us that you break the reincarnation cycle by becoming enlightened. It is believed that the soul will continue experiencing, it will upgrade to a different plane. The question is whether this plane is within or outside the matrix.   
    Acashic Records. You will have access to the acashic records, thus to all knowledge  
    become enlightened. Tibetan monks use dream yoga (LDs) to become enlightened   
    Inhabit and control another real body. You can temporarily go inside someone else's body and live in it, as if it were your own. This is definitely possible. This usually happens in form of an agreement. 2 beings temporarily exchange their bodies so that they can explore the world of the other being. For example if an alien from another universe wants to explore earth, it can astral project to earth, but it can do more things with a physical body than with an astral body. If it happens involuntarily then this could be considered demonic possesion (if someone is demonically possessed they usually still have some control though)  
    Download skills. Leo said that when you are super conscious, you would be able to just download skills. I believe you don't even need to be super conscious, it's enough to be an advanced OBEer.  
    Do magick during OBEs which will affect your day-life and physical reality.  
    Healing: By asking your subconscious, or aliens or guiding spirits, you are able to figure out the root cause of a disease and then tackle it (in case it has a psychological root)  
    Have long whole-body orgasms  
     
    And then we have of course the more well-known benefits:
    Personal Development: In dreams you are directly in contact with your subconscious. So this is obviously very valuable for any personal development work Fun Practice any skill Practice the Law of Attraction and make it more effective ...  
    I believe OBEs are the key to mastering all of life. 
    And the key to OBEs is deep hypnosis like the Esdaile State. I will soon make a post about that.

  10. How to visualize?
    How to visualize?
    Allow me to begin by saying that, if you do not already have a regular meditative practice, you should begin one. Meditation is the practice of stilling the mind. The mind is the processing tool of the soul. But if you do not sometimes still this tool you become gravely confused. You are prone to believing that you ARE your mind. And you are not! You are prone to believing that the noise that exists inside your mind is what is real. And it is not. Through meditation you can move beyond mind and come face to face with soul. That which you more truly are. There is so much more that I could say at this juncture about the benefits and importance of meditation, but this conversation is not about that. This is about Visualization. The reason I raise the topic of meditation is that those who are experienced meditators are, right now, ready to begin powerfully visualizing. Those who have never meditated will find this more difficult to do as their minds are noisy and undisciplined.
    However, irrespective of whether you are a seasoned meditator or brand new to all spiritual practice, you can still begin to visualize your intention into fruition. The difference, really, will be that experienced meditators will find it much easier to maintain a still mind whilst visualizing. A novice will, quite likely, find their mind often wandering counter productively and will have to spend more time and effort to complete each visualization exercise.
    The other point I wish to make is that “visualization” is actually not the proper term. It should more accurately be called, “full spectrum internal sensory creation”. Except that’s a bit of a clumsy phrase. The reason I make this point is that many people are not visually oriented. If they close their eyes and imagine something, they do not “see” it. They, perhaps, “feel it”. Or simply “know it”. There are many different ways in which different people will explore their imaginations. Do not therefore feel you must “see a movie” in your mind just because this exercise is called “visualization”. Ideally you will “imagine” with ALL of your internal senses. But work with whichever senses you can bring to bear.
    Now; how to visualise:
    To begin with, you close your eyes and still your mind. Then you connect with your heart. Find the connection to Source. The place where Love comes from. Inside the very center of your Heart Chakra.
    Now, holding that connection and returning to it if ever you lose it, explore the following thought by visualizing it in your mind:
    Visualization #1: Today is the day when your intention has manifest. It is happening. You find yourself saying, “This is it! My intention is right now coming to reality! In the most amazing and magical way, it is all coming true right now!”
    What are you experiencing? What is going on around you? What event is occurring that causes you to say, “This is it!”?
    Spend time with that visualization. Redo it a few times until you feel you really have it visualized in all of its richness. Then (and this certainly doesn’t all have to be in the same session or even on the same day) work your way through the following additional visualizations:
    Visualization #2: It’s been some time since your intention came true. The excitement of it has faded somewhat. This is now your new normal. What is your life like now? How has it changed? What is improved? What have you lost? What is less good?
    If you cannot find a single thing that you have lost or given up, then this is a warning sign that you are deceiving yourself. Everything comes at a price. Everything. Do not proceed until you have the self awareness to at least look at the down sides. The cost. What you will lose. Look at it. Make sure it is an acceptable exchange for that which you will gain. Only then proceed.
    Visualization #3: Other’s lives have been impacted too. Start close in: what is the impact on your nearest and dearest? How are their lives affected? What are the positives and the negatives for them? What about others? Colleagues and acquaintances? Distant family and friends? What about random strangers? What about (if you have such a thing) enemies and those you dislike? How are all of these peoples' lives touched in ways both positive and negative by your intention coming to fruition?
    If you think that it doesn’t matter how your choices impact others, then you have forgotten the most basic premise of how the “magic” of The Steps of the Path works. It works, fundamentally, because All is One. The other is another self. What we put out is what we get back. The fact that this is true is WHY the “magic” works. And so, if you create something that brings you great joy, but at the expense of bringing others great misery, then you will ALSO bring yourself that same misery, as an integral of what you are creating. If you don’t understand this, or don’t believe it to be true, then reality creation is not for you! You will only cause yourself harm with a tool that you are not ready to use.
    So, after a 360 degree analysis of the impact of your intention's fruition on all others, is this STILL something you wish to create?
    If it is, you have but one final visualization to do.
    Visualization #4: In this visualization exercise you cast your imagination forward to the point when you are done with this life. When you are once again a spirit being. When you are reviewing this life that now lies behind you. You are standing with your spirit guides and the masters of light. As you look back upon the moment in which you took your creative powers in hand, in which you set your intention and began to bring it to yourself, as you look back on getting what you created and the moment when you could no longer doubt your own creator nature, what do you, as this wise and expanded being FEEL about your choices? Was this the right choice? Feel your heart connection now. Feel how it feels. Does it feel Right? Good? Divinely inspired? Or does it feel like a mistake? The right step taken in the wrong direction? Or perhaps even the wrong thing to do entirely? Feel. Spend time with your guides and the masters. Take their input. Feel (and look and listen) for their guidance.
    If, after the fourth visualisation, you are still on track and feeling positive about your intention, then you are ready to continue on to the next step, Emotion. We will be speaking about that next.
    If, however, you have decided to change your mind and NOT create this intention, then you may begin by finding great gratitude in your heart for the fact that you had the wisdom to cease this creation before it was already in your reality. Find that gratitude and, with that feeling in your heart, simply let go of your intention. Cease to give it thought or energy. And, when you are ready, return to the beginning with the additional learning and wisdom in hand that you might create with a more desirable intention in mind next time.
