It just happened, I was reading this on another thread, a quote by @Nahm Such is meaning arising from you which appears to be here And just as I was finishing the sentence, the man on TV said 'to be here' -

I was never able to make any meaning of any string of words, but it was still fun. It still happens just alot less often -

I did some... just never got in the habit of it. I was writing down words that I would be reading while simultaneously hearing them out loud either on T.V. or my husband... was happening ALOT for quite a while. -

Just intuitively navigate the dream, experiencing what you can now, and not worried about what you might be missing out on, like answers or more information. Take psychedelics when you please and enjoy the insights which come with those as well. Iron out any energetic disharmonies in your life to help your life and psychedelics trips flourish. Enjoy the Garden. Make a list of things you want to learn most from the trips. But also look for the responses to these inquiries in daily life and your dreams. -

@Rilles you follow along a new timeline where your grandfather is dead, whereas you are a just time traveller. Your grandfather was not murdered in your original line ?♂️ -

@Dodo and for whose interested in channelling, I really like this channeler. His first language is not English but he does translate many of his channelings for us. In this awesome video, he recounts a channeling where he receives full blown visions depicting Buddhist lessons of enlightenment. -

The Solidification of Concepts Chapter Six: 35-40 6:35 Through experiences and survival, we take certain truths, like the bus will run over you if you don't step aside, as a higher form of truth than something imagined, like being able to fly away from the bus. Likewise, many of the deceitful concepts which we take for truth are also mistaken for this higher realm of truth and reality. Thus concept becomes reality. 6:36 Examples include: believing that sex before marriage is a sin against god, or that being homosexual won't let you go to heaven. Or that there is a heaven. Or a patriarchal God who punishes those who defy Him. Or that there is no God. Etc… 6:37 The same can be applied to our sense of self. This is why depression is SO tricky-- the depressed person believes the concept of being depressed, lonely, worthless, in pain, etc. They believe it so much it is an integral part of their reality and experience. The people outside of him do not see or experience this. They think he should get over it, or just act better. They don't believe he is worthless or in pain. (of course their judgements of the depressed person's actions and appearance will help to form their own respective realities.) 6:38 For example, if you have no legs, you can't run. You will be confined to a wheelchair. Nothing you can think about it will change the fact that you have no legs and can't run. However, when the concepts of worthless, stupid, not good enough, etc, are taken as true as having no legs, it does become very true in the reality and experience of the one with no legs. One must take this path of learning to distinguish between assumptions and beliefs and what's really there. 6:39-40 You can shift your self-concept, and therefore your perspective of yourself, but its imperative to have a good foundation to start. The web of concepts and lies runs so deep, and you run the risk of just shifting your self-concept to be built onto another false concept. Yes, we must abide by the assumptions and beliefs of culture to survive and navigate, but to believe them all and subject yourself to suffering because of them is foolish. No concepts will ever define you, so stop hurting from them.

Going from laying in my bed to stepping into an alternate reality, pushing leaves and branches away which are slowly forming into hd crystal clearness before my eyes. Turns out I was in someone's backyard and they were just getting into a truck to leave. I explored their house in their absence, slowly losing lucidity and memories of this 'truer' realm. And no, there were no psychedelics involved. This is an inherent ability anyone can learn. -

Buy a 'introspection' or 'mindfulness' ring or bracelet, and then every time you see it, it reminds you to do one (or maybe both) of those things. This also bypasses the egos dragging feet on commitment, since its a much smaller commitment to remember what the worn accessory represents. -
@SirVladimir I only have access to marijuana, but I want your book! You won me over by having personally selected reading music... ? After my own heart ❤️

Hey I came for the sex and feel very jipped!!!!! Anyway, it's all just masturbation, right? ? Also, would you want to practice telepathy? We could agree on a time to rest for remote viewing and then send images or impressions to each other. Could write down all impressions like a normal remote viewing session and then see if we were successful at sending anything to one another. -

Where do you hold your tension? For me it's the inner thighs connecting to my groin. Soooo tight all the time. Hamstrings too. -

I have a feeling that certain grounding techniques would work for you that doesn't work for others, and vice versa, but one good advice I got one time was to go for a run before meditating. I assume a very brisk walk or bike ride would suffice as well. Also you can try taking gaba supplement before meditation -
There's More to Perception than Meets the Eye Chapter Six: 28-34 6:28 To boil it all down: all of our perceptions are only understood through concepts. Seeing an object does nothing for us, unless we recognize it as something useful or separate. (Otherwise, it might just be the background. ) Every perception, the multitudes of them a day, comes packaged with an automatic association with a multitude of concepts. 6:29-30 Exercise: I am looking at a poster of the titanic on the wall. I believe it to be flat, but coming off the walls a bit in the corners, to be somewhat colorful, and depicting an image of something that has much value and heartfelt emotion for the giant ship. It's so iconic, its become woven into our language, such as when you hear "oh he's sinking like the titanic…" The feelings which arise are those of curiosity, wonder, tragedy…. I feel bad for all the money that went into it, the time and effort of fine carpenters and craftsmen, the people who just wanted to take a luxurious ride to the new world. All the lifes lost and a black hole of fear. I don't look at this poster often, but I do see it in good favor since I care deeply about the tragic event. 6:31-32 Exercise: I sat back and looked at my laptop. The screen was distracting so I turned it off. As I looked it over, I began asking myself, "what is this?" "what is this thing?" And answers would pop up, like laptop, keys, screen, mouse, etc. Each time an answer popped up, I asked again, "what is this?", letting go the previous answer. At once, the words "I don't know" arose, and even though that felt kind of forced, I got where I am going with this exercise. I'll continue to practice this throughout the week. By the way it sounds exactly like self inquiry… 6:33-34 All of this conceptual influence can be applied directly to one's sense of self. It's all happening within the perimeters of concept-- "thought's, feelings, beliefs, images, memories, assumptions, and programming." None of these will ever represent the experience of our real being.

Consider the following statement : "If you don't let me finish, you won't see the whole point" How do you interpret the underlined word? All my life, I've interpreted it to be saying 'meaning' (?). So, read it again. "...you won't see the whole point (? meaning of what I'm saying). Now try it again, but let's use the literal sense of the word point (?). " if you don't let me finish, you won't see the whole point ?. " If it helps, pretend you are pointing at a friend and giving them good advice, or leo pointing at the moon. Read it again. How often are we looking for a meaning, even in a simple conversation between friends or lovers, when there can be no meaning found. It's a fruitless effort!! Meaning is so subjective, it might as well be nothing. How much of reality is warped by this simple and extremely deceptive misinterpretation? However, if we just take the word literally, we can see that all good advice are just pointers!! There is no inherent meaning to be found in friendly advice, so stop looking for that. Instead, follow the point of the finger. Don't look at the finger pointing at the moon, look at the moon. ? Now that I'm finished, I hope you got the whole point. But here it is again : When you are looking for the meaning? , you are missing the point?. -
