@Charlotte - you sound so similar to me! Where are you from?

Why slag him off ?

I wonder what @Leo Gura reaction would be if no one actually commented on the his live broadcast of enlightenment. He literally logged on after a nice sleep, keen to see the hype, and there was literally no posts, video comments or debates (not a sausage).. How would his new enlightened self respond? Just a joke that I amused myself with this morning... I am so proud and happy for him.. loved the video. He was exceptional and honest... and also very endearing at times..

Highly recommend this book for all people... no matter which path you walk, or what your intentions might be.

@Nahm - It's utterly wonderful. I am savouring every page!

@I Am That Ketamine is a drug which you need to learn how to use properly. It takes a good 3- 4 times trips, before you know exactly how to work with it and not against it. Firstly, little and often amounts (very, very gradual is key!) too much in one go and you've ruined the whole thing. It's slows down the processing in your mind.. so obviously too much is overkill! For me, it's the best tool I've ever used, clear, clean and completely mind twisting to the highest extreme! Mushrooms although powerful, are too distracting and busy for me and I've yet to try LSD. However, I know a friend who's life was screwed over by it.. So I don't go near it now. It will destroy your bladder! No spiritual endeavour is worth permanently destroying your health. Look after yourself - living inside an illusion is far better than addiction and bladder incontinence. We're here, enjoy it. Whatever is it. It's us - now. :-)

I@JustinS this happens to me when my mind is over stimulated by the trip. It’s just a side effect

Hi, I need to become an amazing public speaker in order to master my LP. I have joined a speakers club, but also would love some book recommendations on public speaking ? There are so many on amazon and I don't know where to start. If anyone has found a gem on this subject. Let me know! :-)

I have recently tried creating a few videos of myself talking about various topics, for my business. But I get put off by seeing myself talk and I find the image of myself yapping away, very distracting. Do other people who create videos have this problem or do they film themselves on a proper camera? Is there a way of doing it where I don't have to look at myself or is this something I just need to get used to?

@Arman great video !

@blazed that’s amAzing advice ! Thank you !!

I do... I’m just wondering if there is a method of making videos of yourself without Putting it the camera into selfie mode ? Or if that’s just something I need to get used to ?

You have to keep forcing yourself into scenarios where you need to talk until it becomes normal.. the only way to get good at talking is practise... x

@Nahm It certainly was.. I am hoping for part 2 tonight!

For all the lucid dream lovers out there.... this one is too juicy not to share! Basically, from what I can remember, it started as a typical, unclear 'dreamy' dream, and stuff was happening, conversations were odd, loose and flimsy. I was starting to think..... 'this is all weird', and my thoughts were telling me 'life is weird, anyway', and' it's all a dream', and 'nothing is real', and 'everything is a hallucination, there is no difference between dreams and reality... bla bla' That is what I was thinking in the dream but I tend think this sort of stuff anyway, when I am awake.. So I was doing a lot of over thinking and analysing of the weirdness of day to day to life and general nonsense of reality. Except in the dream, it all started to click that reality is actually a dream and there is no difference between the two (more so, than any insight I have had when awake) ... and then i started to float up and spin round in the universe and then zoom back down to earth, to a scenario, have a bit of a chat, then zoom right up again... a bit like the film 'waking life' don't know if you've seen it? This happened maybe 4 or 5 times, it was weird, but not scary. I just accepted it, as if I was having a psychedelic trip or something. I surrendered Well in the dream, I remembered the film, and I was like 'woah, hang on a minute, this is like the film 'waking life' which is all about dreaming... yep... so I deffo am dreaming, but then is there a difference between this and reality? No, I think they are both the same' I wanted to conclude there was no difference, but I still couldn't admit I was 100% certain without a direct experience. I then ended up in this factory type place which was clean and modern, there were people walking around, but I didn't pay any attention to them. I looked in my hands to see a gun, but it didn't look like a typical gun, it looked more like a white telescope. To me, it was an ethereal gun to to be used for non evil purposes, if you can imagine such a thing. The thought then came to my head, that I needed to prove to myself that I truly believed that there was no difference between this and reality, and that I truly was dreaming. So I picked up the gun and shot loads of people, and of course none of them die, because ultimately I am controlling the dream. I then shoot myself and I don't die either. None of this surprises me and I have a strong insight that consciousness is immortal. Now to the fun part. My awareness becomes even bigger and I feel a tremendous source of power flood through my being. I realise I was truly aware during the whole dream, and that now I can do whatever the hell I like. So of course, as we all do in lucid dreams... I go for a fly.... but instead of just slowly floating over the area which I happen to be in. I take my flying experience up a zillion notches and zoom off into the most spectacular, beautiful blizzard. It wasn't scary at all, just utterly peaceful and exhilarating. I am memorised by all intricate designs of the snowflakes, and icicles, and the patterns created by the swirling wind. I continued to zoom around; powerful and free.. Letting myself fall close to the ground and then rising up again, just in time. And eventually I got too excited and woke up!

I've yet to experience true pain, but I know some people do - I've experienced illness though - like feeling really nauseous or an ache or ailment.. My mum say's she felt the pain of a lion attacking her in a dream once.. Gruesome! That dream sounds like HELL! I'd the lion any day over those tickles... I used to dream that I suddenly lose a sense, like sight, or ability to stand up... and I would struggle to do this simplest of tasks.. Over and over again, I would fall down, or not be able to keep my eyes open. Dreams are soooo weird! Do you ever have sleep paralysis?

@Dodo Yes but that is all 'content'. Content changes all time depending on whether we are dream / awake / mental state and even still differs from person to person. It is created from nothingness. When we are awake, we tend to take content seriously, we believe it is actual and real. In the dream, we know it isn't real - who is closer to the truth? Why take psychedelics, most believe this leads us closer to truth, or is this just also a change of content? The questions are unanswerable. All I know is that the awareness felt exactly same in the dream, if not more powerful, despite the absurdly different content. It's funny how in dreams, we don't question the content, we just accept it as it is..... we believe that is how it should be. As we do in real life. However, in lucid dreams we see through the illusion. Similar to some of the people who are experiencing awakening and enlightenment in their waking life. You say in your dreams, you dont feel anything?, I often experience emotional pain, fear, humiliation, disgust, trauma, illness, shock, love, sexual feelings, orgasms, even death in my dreams. And it feels just as real and sometimes even more intense. Lucid dreams tend to take the negative emotions away though... I find it hard to separate the two, the dream has obviously left an imprint on me! It's still quite raw..

@Dodo but the consequence in the dream meant that no one died, the substance of it all was the same. (At lease it was for my dream self) I can not explain with words. Consequences happen in dreams all the time, doesn’t make them any different to the consequences that happen when we are awake. Dreams are just as consequential as reality, just the ‘rules’ and ‘limits’ are altered. In my dream i felt so aware that I wouldn’t have risked shooting them if I didn’t truly know I was dreaming. But I knew it and the shooting people proved that to me. In reality, I wouldn’t shoot anyone. My dream self did. Both selfs are ‘me’.... does that mean the awareness was fake? We are just awareness, if we weren’t - How could I control a dream ? Or was the control illusion? Of course it was, which proves reality is illusion too.... It’s all the same!

Thanks @Space - just hoping it’s not too niche !! X

Haha clearly !!! Hopefully niche enough to work well for my LP though... I want do this so badly that my bones hurt !! Im still just 25% through the course though..

Come to ??!!! I’ll contribute £100 :-)

Definitely get rid of them... I find myself upvoting everyone, because I don’t want to offend anyone and it’s my way of saying ‘thanks, I appreciate the post’ Which is really unnecessary. I always wondered why they were there in the first place as it contradicts your teaching.

@Azrael you are such a legend. This couldn’t have come at a better time for me x

I would love a free session - not finished reading the post yet though! But wanted to get my name down quickly x
