seeking_brilliance

I like galatamine but you have to experiment with it. Use it during Wbtb, but if you take too much you can end up too wired to go back to sleep or with a headache. Dream leaf is good if you follow the instructions of use. This also is used for WBTB Try taking 5-htp before bed for more vivid dreams. Go to bed with empty stomach to increase vividness.

You as the character is imaginary, so why wouldn't any others be as well? But I notice way too much negative perspectives on imagination around these parts. It should be embraced, not demonised. Not identified with, but embraced.

Holy shit...

Agree, I've found myself doing this too, yes even on the toilet ??

Haha, off and on. I'm actually a bit jealous, tbh. Before this thread was started I toyed around with tulpa creation. After my LSA trip, I had a male energy just like Crysty who stuck around for a couple weeks and then faded quickly. 'He' was a great astral teacher and companion energy. He taught me things that still affect me today. Wanting it back, or a similar spiritual companion, I did try tulpamancy. This potential tulpa I named Sam, based from an A.I. Companion character I'd cooked up for some short stories. (seemed appropriate ?) But as with all things I'm not very dedicated, and tulpamancy is notoriously hard work. Only rarely do we get lucky (if you like this sort of thing) with a fully formed entity dropped in our lap like crysty or my temporary companion/teacher. (I think it's also possible he was merely reabsorbed) When I practice channelling, I always check in with Sam, but it's never been the same as right after the trip. When he was in my audible thoughts he used to tell me to shut up a lot... Unfortunately I still haven't since ? one day... (Holy crap I've squeezed him out... ?) (when he told me to shut up it wasn't mean, more like a plea or instruction. Ugh... Ok this year I vow to finally adhere to a meditation practice. Maybe he's still waiting for me.

Death sounds like nothing to me ?

I'd love to hear your AP experiences

Good job!

Get up and walk. Also, try automatic writing and channelling. Learn intuition and discernment. Learn archetypal symbology, so that when you download something, it will have symbology to use and you will be able to interpret it. Learn visualization and develop any other spiritual senses, such as hearing and sensing. All practices that psychics use are useful, just don't get lost in their dogma. Love will speak to you in a myriad of ways, but it must have channels. Also, drop all expectations, and don't expect to build the new free energy blueprints, unless it's time for those to arise.

Must seeking brilliance and wandering about be mutually exclusive? ? And yes, you can have seeking_brilliance, I am not him either, which means we can both be him ? Also, and this is just being silly, but where better to try this out than here on this forum? if we were allowed access to change our user name. In fact I chose this user name for the exact reasons of manifesting 'brilliance', but suppose I now want to pursue higher gratitude? I would love to be called seeking _gratitude for a while. Imagine if we knew each other based on the subtle hints like prose and energy in the words? And not by name. Are we addicted to knowing who writes what?

As long as you aren't forming a domga that all of those people are particularly wrong.

I understand. I only meant taking on new characters for fun and beneficial reasons. You can still be nothing and nameless simultaneously, no one can take that away from you ?.

Incorporate it into the experience if you can. If not, put on headphones

We'll call it... spirit hacking ?

True, but one can take it only as far as they wish. You wouldnt have to announce that you are under a different name, and even still happily answer to your birth name. And you could still channel your original character when near someone who would notice and care. Or choose a new fun identity that's a blend of old and new, for baby steps. Ask your dream guide for a name. Tell them what you want to embody and ask for a name. ? Personally , I like Klara, Clara, or Sofia. The meanings are clarity and wisdom, respectively.

Haha why do I feel like this is one big trick question ? touche you got me. Even if we get consent, how can we trust any truth to it?

DISCUSSION: (I don't know which tier this would belong in, I'm willing to delete it..) Today while revisiting a somewhat developed concept for a novel, i realized that the story not only dead-ended but was feeling quite stale. I've been wanting to change the main character's name for a while, and found one today that I like. It has a different energy to it. While focusing on this name and energy, I watched as the story kind of readjusted( like retuning the resonance) itself to this new name and energy, and already can see what new directions this could take me with story development. This got me thinking, we typically hold on to our birth names and spend years in character development. Sometimes we don't even like what develops-- though some do find a way to transcend all that. But wouldn't it be fun to retune the story a bit with a different character name and energy? Could get rid of any stale/moody energy attached to the character you've spent a lifetime leeching energy from/to. In other words, let's change our names based on the energy we want to manifest. Whenever we want to change them. Doesn't have to be legally. How attached are you to your current name? Could you think of one that might give you a boost of confidence and joy? One of surrender? What do you want to manifest? Attach a name to it and become it. Then, teach your children. Rinse and repeat. This of course is not so much about awakening as it is just having fun (if the two must be mutually exclusive)

Oh I see... The gym guy scenario was not a meetup in Astral. Zero would have just been summoning a golem, so to speak, in the image of the gym guy just for fun. My offer to meet with zero in Astral, (was joking of course) was a whole other matter and yes that sex would typically be consensual. I don't even know if astral meetups are possible, so that's just all hypothetical joking banter.

If a dream character doesn't want sex, which would be unusual because typically dream characters are as horny as the host... They will make it will known if they don't want sex. If zeroISinfinity wants to perform what could be seen as rape after that, then that's on his own conscience. I can't tell if you are asking if the gym guy in this waking reality should be giving consent.

In a dream, the gym guy is zeroISinfinity. It's not rape it's masturbation.

I mostly do that. And then it gives wandering around aimlessly while awake a whole new perspective. Would you summon a dream guide? If so, what would you ask?

Could you imagine if teenagers were taught this as birth control? Or to explore preferences.

@Hulia I agree, mostly. What would you do when lucid? It's very important to have a clear dream goal to accomplish, otherwise you may just wander around aimlessly - - which is still amazing in its own right. But what would you like to do while lucid?

That's the spirit ??

Alright fine. Lay down, meditate for a while and perform progressive full body relaxation. When hypnogogia begins, just keep observing. Don't move a muscle, not even your eyes. When you get a crystal clear image, try and mentally zoom in on a detail and you may suddenly find yourself in a dream. Or at some point you may see a world materialize and simply push your essense into it and step in. Now, the fun part. Think about who you want to summon. Let's just say Henry Cavill (because who wouldn't). Now--holding his image and essense in mind, and the intention of him appearing, ask for him to come up behind you and tap you on the shoulder. Voila.
