Cool! I will try it too, I'll post how it works for me.

@The_Alchemist Thanks! That’s very helpful. I appreciate that. I will read the article ASAP. Leonardo Da Vinci is one of my favorite artists/creator/inventor ... I didn’t know he used affirmations. So cool. Thanks again!!! ?

I found an app which is an alarm that helps to become lucid. Here’s the link https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lucid-waker-dream-alarm-clock/id1505570242

@The_Alchemist OMG. Super powerful. Thanks a lot !!!

I have a friend/coworker when I talk to him about reality and try to make him think or have a response to something I say, I usually talk to him about quantum physics or philosophy to make him question reality and he says that those are people with a lot of free time. Like someone who doesn't work and have time to think about existencial stuff instead of "working" Or when I tell him how matter doesn't exist, he goes... and what is the practical use of that??? :-P LoL

It is! Incredible how I didn't think about that before. There's nothing finite. And, in fact, I didn't think it... Because there's no "I" to think Lol :-) Thanks @Nahm

@Nahm Finite is just an idea, right? It seems finite but is not.

There’s no brain

Cool. Thanks for sharing @justfortoday

Good question

I think it works, but not the way we think it does... I think there's a lot of "unconscious" stuff going on. We need to get more awakened to get it to work. IMO. In my case, sometimes it works, and some others is like there's some kind of deep belief that is not making it work the way I want. But that "I" is my ego, so maybe that's the problem.

Focus on doing one thing at a time and finish it. That's what is working for me... and focus on thinking in the results, not so much in the process...

Israeli space official Haim Eshed, pictured on the cover of a new book called The Universe Beyond the Horizon, claims that the US and Israel have had contact with aliens https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9029557/Mankind-contact-alien-Galactic-Federation-Israeli-official-says.html

I agree, they said the same of Mooji, Osho, almost any teacher there's at some point some kind of bad review. I think we have to be careful with any guru and that's it. The teachings speak by themselves and if they teach something that it doesn't resonate just use your common sense. IMO Note: This makes me remember a friend of mine who used to say that Jesus was a pimp Lol...

@Someone here hahaha... I was just kidding. But you nailed it very well, I really didn't understand well why time was an idea and not real. And the way you explained helped me a lot to understand that. It's true, everything is in the present moment. The Ok was more like, "you are right!" hehehe Thanks!

Ok

@Breakingthewall In my case it didn't happen in meditation. I was attracted a lot to Christianity and I was praying like asking in desperation to have a sign that I was saved Lol... I didn't know anything... and it happened the next day when I was waking up, that's why I thought I was a nightmare, I was totally unprepared, didn't have any idea about what was happening. I had an epiphany some weeks before that it also happened just randomly. And everything was with a lot of my interpretation with biblical stuff, and Jesus, and so on hehehe... I saw reality, all was God, a lot of love, etc... but it was very confusing but powerful. Then when I was trying to integrate what did happen to me I discovered non duality, advaita vedanta, and I began to understand. Christian Church have no idea about enlightenment, they are doing nothing really. Maybe someone can become enlightened by accident hehehe... but they have no idea about what entails to become enlightened. I am not sure if I will be able to reproduce the event (or non-event) without chemicals, lets see... Good to know that is was helpful for you. Thank you also for sharing your experience.

I think is a good idea to read everything @Breakingthewall the part I sent you is about the void but he has like a map of a lot of warnings of the path. I find some of his teachings with some ideas similar to Leo advice. Like creating first balance and a having a good foundation in philosophy and other aspects of life...here is the link of the whole book online: https://paulbrunton.org/notebooks/ in the first section "overview of the Quest" in the self development section there's some notes about the dangers, is really good to read them. It made me understand some problems that I had... https://paulbrunton.org/notebooks/1/5#section8

I am very glad that you find it useful. This is the only guy that I saw openly talking about the void. I found it by chance, don't remember how. I think it was when I was searching to understand what happened to me. I don't understand why others teachers don't talk about that... it is very important. IMO. He has some books published, I think I am going to buy some of them to understand that better, next time it happens I want to go and stay there... and if I get courage go completely into it and don't get scared. What is scared me the most was the total loss of identity, that was it was to me (to my ego) super terrifying... OMG... It is hard to stay there without memories, no reference to anything. But, it needs to be done when we are ready.

Thanks James! ? I found this site long time ago, maybe this is a good moment to share it @Breakingthewall https://paulbrunton.org/notebooks/23/8

That's what I was thinking too... but this is just a thought!

@Breakingthewall @James123 It happened to me but without psychedelics. It's absolutely crazy. When it happened to me I didn't have any idea of what entails to be in the path to enlightenment. I was confused, and I prayed God to saved me and that happened. That void, it happened by itself, I wasn't meditating, anything... I just asked to be "saved". The void was in front of me, but I thought I had a giant nightmare, after that I didn't remember a lot of things, my memory didn't work well so I thought I had a panic attack or something like that. I ended in a hospital in the mental health ward. I didn't know what did happen. It took me like 5 years to know what it was really happening. Now I am praying/meditating to have the same experience and to have the courage to go beyond it and Love it as @James123 says. Hope we can all see truth and become One, but there's not really anyone and we don't become anything, we just are it. Or better said "I AM" before anything and I AM the source of everything/nothing.
