So I was browsing through the forums today and under this subsection I came across the thread by Nameless on Alternate Realities

I came across an article shared on social media the other day that discussed various methods of getting into an altered state of consciousness, and Lucid dreaming seems to be a doorway to astral projection (as discussed in the other thread), and seems to be one among the methods: https://www.tantricpagans.com/altered-states-of-consciousness/

I couldn't think of any more, but do you guys know any more methods? It seems like a very interesting topic to ponder about. It is interesting that in the same thread, talking to beings "beyond" the veil was also discussed. Using occult maps (like the Kabbalah tree) to navigate the alternate realities, it seems like it is possible to communicate with spirits. Later then, these spirits can be directly communed with, without going into altered states. Mediums and Shamans seem to induce trances while communicating with spirits to make readings/premonitions. It is interesting to see how it all fits.

Thanks nameless! Definitely a lot of interesting topics here. 

Perhaps it is the other way around? You are able to astral project, and your lucid dreams are able to give you more insights because of an elevation in intuition?

I'd highly recommend looking at Franz Bardon's initiation into Hermetics, a classic. The entire book is a series of instructions that initiates one into working with the elements.

Hello all, new here and here's a brief bio: I've been having recurring experiences with sleep paralysis/lucid dreaming for over 14 years now and the frequency has only increased 
Lately, I have been experimenting with consciously inducing various states of consciousness by means of lucid dreaming, psychedelics etc. and have made my way into the world of occult and magick (Hermeticism).

Looking forward to having great exchanges here
