    My definition of a lucid dream is when all of a sudden no matter what the dream is no matter what you're doing in the dream it's just like a lightning bolt hits you and the realization holy crap I'm Dreaming right now I'm laying in my bed which is in a blah blah blah room right beside blah blah blah I have to get up at this time in the morning to do this thing yeah I'm right here right now I have full control and then you do some like Jedi mind trick and Crush something with your mind or pick it up if your mind or something like that and you can stop what everybody's doing and say I want the answer to this or I'm going to do this and basically have complete control of your dream that is my definition of lucid dreaming and yes people can be different like I said it gets old when you've been doing it over 20 years and that's not a false statement because I've  experienced it meaning it's true just because you don't experience it does not mean it's not true that's all I meant by my statement .

    All my dreams have in a way, to different degrees, been lucid dreams since 16 after I had the clear experience that this is also a dream during a mushroom trip, which has continuously developed. (edit, though I also continuously practiced before and after)

    That what you are describing sounds more like a typical surface level lucid dream, like surface level waking mind, it's not similar to the psychedelic levels of depth you can have, and it has nothing inherently to do with control. And yes I agree, those 'omg I can control my dream' states which you can have in the beginning, get old really fast, because it's all about your ego and your control,

    The first 1 or 2, maybe 3, dreams after deep sleep are of deep psychedelic quality, but are rarely every remembered or experienced consciously by most people. Life and dreams are beautiful by surrender and harmony with the flow, not through control solely. :)

    Not the most complex and intellectual sage, but Peace Pilgrim, «the sage who walked her talk», is probably the most selfless, loving individual I’ve seen. She had no organizational backing, carried no money, and would not even ask for food or shelter. When she began her pilgrimage she had taken a vow to «remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food.» She walked for 28 years until her death.

    For some reason she is rarely mentioned.

    Oh that's really interesting, thanks

    @TrynaBeTurquoise I mostly preferred astral projection than lucid dreaming. But both are fine.

    They are the same

    But there is a qualitative difference in dreams, some dreams seem more ego based, personal projections, fear based reaction - there are also more vivid dreams, less personal, more reality based (there you are more mature also, more conscious, as appose to being in your personal ego theme again)

    Well that is your opinion I'm sure you're still new to lucid dreaming however lucid dreaming is something I have been doing since I was 14 quite proficiently so over 20 years i have been lucid dreaming and that makes it just another thing you can do so yes it does lose its spice over time.

    I have had 1000's of lucid dreams as well.

    Perhaps we stumble over definitions, a lucid dream means you are aware that you are a in a dream, it's not something you can do.

    And dreams tend to be more profound than people can usually remember after, (if you can remember them really consciously after, you can remember how profound they are, almost experiencing them again, like a dmt-trip, very different than a vague memory which can make it seem like some dulled down thing)

    , but still I suppose people can be wired so differently they don't find dreams so interesting, hard to imagine from my point of view but what do I know.

    I can lucid dream at will.... it gets old trust me. And it is hard on the energy so I don't recommend it if you have work the next day.

    Lucid dreaming never gets old, it gets more and more psychedelic and interesting, whether it be personal or transcendental. 

    'At will', yeah the ego indulging in the dream and trying to fly or have sex or whatever, yeah that gets old.

    I'm not a real expert, but you can feel good, you can know this, in glimpses or deep relaxed closed to sleep, when with a loved one in some way, you can see it in children or animals as well often.

    Too much theory is not good at all, it gotta be lived, that's what life is for.

    Also I don't know about Leo, I don't think he claims to be enlightened even though he speaks as it for his job, but I can tell you, seeing a teacher (a good one, hopefully for you) is very different, very different, than looking a video, it's in fact so different, you probably shouldn't again even watch too much of it all, life isn't suppose to be lived behind a digital screen. I'm getting off topic I guess but I hope that helps, peace to you !

    Don't trust typical PUA stuff, pua was a damaging field to me, it really gave me a skewed view expectation of the world and poor thinking habits, I listened to a lot of RSD as a teen and went out.

    Was sort of 'successful' in a way but never cultivated a real beautiful relationship out of it.

     Why is it harmful? Because relationship, man woman energy, is the most sacred expression of life, and shouldn't be forced or manipulated in any way.

    Man - woman (energy) are the perfect mirrors for each other to learn to love and heal, if you are busy with manipulating, you are missing the point of love entirely already in that moment, and that is not a basis for a truthful relation to grow well on, then you are sabotaging yourself out of the process you seek from the beginning.

    -

    Real game.

    What is real game? Real game is practicing the game of life that leads to actual powerful grounded spiritual growth, which just revolves around being honest.

    Honesty as to how you feel, and you if cannot know how you feel or what you honestly want, then take a step back, say that, that's honest too.

    The opposite of honesty is just lying, that's it.

    If you can refrain from that in Life you are really powerful and you will be able to do well, people can respect and trust you.

    And it is not about perfect memory, you can make some mistakes, but you know deep down when you are trying to manipulate, even when you try to do it a little bit, or when you know and remember the truth, with your heart.

    (It's actually surprising how many people cannot do this!! If you can do this, you are quite ahead of many.)

    -

    As to some actual tips for game.

    -Use it to get beyond your ego, that's very powerful and noble, and part of what PUA has right. Just as just getting out there, and talking to people you find interesting, that's noble and honest. That's attractive as well, interesting.

    So using it to go beyond your ego: respect women.

    Women are powerful and sensitive, they'll know whats up anyways, except for the stupid ones.

    And you don't want to be with the some random 'wrong one' or she'll just annoy you, create drama or problems with you..

    Just be honest, if you are interested in a women you think is out of reach, tell her it like that, they'll respect it, what's the worst that could happen. 

    There's absolutely no need to insult them in anyway to try and get their respect, that's utmost foolishness, will create more negative karma,

    but you don't have to be a rug either, accepting bullshit because they are an 'attractive female', of course not.

    -

    Lastly, women are just attracted to true powerful men, and how does that cultivate in you?

    Life experience, spiritual depth, honesty and nobleness.

    Truthfulness is the most powerful thing in the world, because everyone can feel and see it, and going against truthfulness is going against the heart and is inherently painful.

    So do your best to just be honest, cultivate depth, and get out there and learn if you are young.

    Don't just seek relationship for it's sake.

    Relationship is no small matter, or if it's a small matter then it's useless anyways.

    You don't have to chase that, it'll come rightly as to how developed you are, and just some relationship won't make you happy anyways, it's needs to have depth and truth.

    hehe in germany its common to say the french are rude or like kind of unfriendly

    but from my personal experience so far all french people I met were really cool and easy going

    Ye its not like actually bad, quite nice also, but they really tend not to speak English at all, and they'll be annoyed you don't speak their language (meanwhile other European countries will definitely tend to all or almost all, afaik, be able to talk some English at least)

    Someone today explained to me how France used to be leading in culture up until the 60's till the US/Uk overtook popular western culture, it's the biggest nation in Europe also, French used to be taught more in schools in other nations in Europe.

    @AlwaysBeNice my girlfriends parents and brother live out in Portugal at the moment. They're currently building a yoga center in Ansiao. I went out there with them for 3 months earlier this year, and it was just what I needed.

    They are Krishna devotees and very lovely people. Not pressuring or fear-mongering or anything like that. Just genuine & accepting people. 

    There's yoga classes in the town ran by a Canadian instructor. The majority are nice people. 

    However, there are rats. They're very cute, but I still don't particularly like them running around the place. They're just so fucking fast. Terrifies me. 

    Anyway, if you're interested, drop me a message and I'll put you in touch with them. 

    Ansiao is central, not near the beach.

    I went to Lisbon after leaving their place for a couple of days, before heading back to England. It was nice, but lonely. Though, I think that experience was very rewarding

    Sure, thanks. Portugal seems to be more a good place, in general / for stuff like this.

    I know it may sound rude or unwise to say some country is better than others, I haven't even been in Port. But from what I've seen.. In France .. people just barely speak English, will often just continue to babble in France. really hard to get to know people, even to do certain things like buy a train ticket..

    and some demonic homeless youth tried to start a fight with me after I was just observing them a moment and offered them a cookie, its packed with homeless people as well here in Bordeaux.

    In Holland it's not uncommon to say the French are rude, I didn't think much of it but it's kind of true, albeit we are also known for that a little.

    Expensive as well, no alternative scene, except punk homeless.

    A lot of people are just good and nice still of course.

    Sorry for the negative rant, and bit off topic, though general vibe is relevant in some way to map the world a little, also for the spirirual conductivity as well I think, not much of that going on here either lol, except cathedrals..

    French women tend to def. Have some natural beauty, romance seems a little more easy going here than in Holland I think

    Hey, I did work exchange somewhere here in France but I triggered the authorities too much and I had to go, Im not some asshole tho, also people there weren't happy about but oh well.

    I may go to plum village october 4th for 2 week retreat and am planning to go to Portugal later, so just for a few days.

    Whatis a good town or city near the ocean in Portugal? 

    Hobbies are music, singing, bhajans, internet, nice people, doing nothing.

    Can offer some money, and or help with whatever, no real skills except for writing, used to do well in school but never finished, am 23 y/o, been involved with this consciousness stuff for few years.

    Can also give fb first if you need, cant remove this video on mobile from old topic i wanted to make but its a great teacher/video i think

    Blessings

    In Buddhism, 'Sunyata' is the basis of all reality. It is what underlies all forms and is the 'substance' that the world is made of.

    The concept of 'God' is more associated with Hinduism. The Hindus believed in many Gods, they thought of Brahma as the supreme reality,  they believed in a soul or a self, while Buddha had nothing to say about them and thought of as irrelevant. Hinduism has all sorts of complex beliefs, rituals, creeds, rites, mantras, stories, legends, philosophy, etc etc.

    The reason is that Hinduism is also a way of life, not just for 'monks' like the Buddhists, but for everyone. It served a standard religion function, that's why it has all sorts of moral codes, heaven and hell, belief in Gods etc like Christianity, however Buddhism was more of a religion for the recluse, you are not a good Buddhist if you are actively indulging in worldly pleasures, and Buddhism is way more focused  on direct enlightenment and direct spiritual experience then Hinduism. The founder of Buddhism is the 'Buddha' a guy who had made the vow to be enlightened at all costs whether doesn't matter if he dies or not . Buddhism is influenced by that.
    But the ideas in Buddhism already have their basis in Hinduism.

    Before Buddhism, Hindus had concepts like 'Om', Samadhi, Turiya. The things written in Buddhism is already written in the Upanishads.

    Both religions are correct, it's just that Buddhism has a different way to interpret reality that may have a universal ring to it, while Hinduism puts labels on all sort of things and may look like it has a cultural influence. But what I think is they are trying to say the same thing. It's like saying, whether reality is a positive (hindus) or a negative(buddhism), is there a soul or a no soul, whether the substance of the world is 'Brahma' or 'Sunyata'. It's just a matter of perception.

     

    Actively engaging in worldly pleasure is fine to be a good Buddhist, buy the middle way and all that

    I just don't feel like i'm seeing any awakening happening in me, i'm just confused and i fear the vibrations since it's abnormal to me if anything that chemical feels like it's been messing with my bodies stability or brain neurons

    Well you could say you're waking up to the vibratory connected nature of the universe, as appose to a solid separate world view.

    I know from my own experience that 5-meo is connected to awakening, so, the process will unfold and show that in due time, but the process can be subtle as well, as well as drastic.

    I'd suggest you use this potent time of crisis well, study great masters, teaching, maybe decide to life in a monestary or community for a while, they are made for this, or seclusion can be powerful if you feel ballsy.

    You just need to learn to let go and trust the process, see that this is God's play or God's work.

    @khalifa I understand your lack of trust, but I would strongly advise to get your health checked and seek medical advice. You don’t have to do everything a doctor tells you too, but IMO having your health checked is important and would help you get some clues on what may be going on.

    Best case scenario: you’re fine on a physiological level and this will make it easier for you to relax.

    Worst case scenario: there’s a physiological problem that you wouldn’t be aware of without getting tested for it. You get advice on how you can deal with it and if it doesn’t convince you you can go for a second opinion or not follow the advice.

    If you go through kundalini/spiritual awakening, then doctors don't mix well, period.

    If you like break a leg or something or have a consistent point of physical issue (that you feel like you can't easily fix yourself through stress-reduction/healthy habit, fasting) then it's probably a good idea.

    Otherwise you risk getting the doctors freaked out, hospitalized for psychosis and drugged, money..

    What we really need long-term is a new transformative technology that will either: 1) remove carbon from the atmosphere, and/or, 2) block sunlight from reaching the Earth in the first place.

    I envision a sort of giant thin film set up in space which simply blocks sunlight from reaching the planet like sun glasses. With such a technology we would not only eliminate global warming forever but we could actively regulate the temperate on the planet to maximize consciousness.

    But something like this needs to be funded by big government research.

    It's quite obvious that advanced civilizations learn to regulate the climate on their planet.

    As a species it's like we're living in the age before air conditioning.

    Imagine being able to selectively regulate the sunlight in desert regions like the Sahara or the Gobi, making it lush and livable!

    We could even install a UV filter so people don't get sunburned.

    That would have to float in space? Where did you get this idea from? Walsch?

    That wasn't so bad, a lot of these conspiracies are true btw, people in high power can become so addicted to it, become frustrated it doesn't work so well for them and can start to do twisted shit.

    But just don't blindly belief stuff, especially health related stuff, i.e. if wifi would be so dangerous, we'd see a massive increase in cancer in western civilization over the past x years, which just hasn't happened, though in general the more 'unnatural' the worse.. and the ego-stress is bad for you over long time.

    Or sit with the fear, that's a good practice in and of it self, a sign a that the pressure is high enough now don't you think? 

    You need time to integrate psychedelics, you can call them forced openings.

    If you had a big opening on psychedelics, you're done for this life, you've committed to going deep and it will come back and you will have to integrate it in every aspect of your life (and that's no small task, all the potential of self-delusion and self-sabotage, etc.), so that just takes time, and being young  especially, and having no stable self-sustained life or community, doesn't necessarily make things easier..

    And if you think you can get away with sensitive topics, like lying to your parents for instance, whilst wanting to become truth, think again
