It's important to continue reading until you have your own definite answer.

You're right about the difference in perception of two different people. But then so you need to attain the ability to discern between these types -- which is higher or lower than the other in objective-sensibility.

Does a blue-light in the corner of their eye occur periodically? Does it have meaning or is it just an occurence. One man may only see it. The other may see it and sense it. Yet another may see it, sense it, and understand it. So what does that tell you needs be done for someone who yearns for man #3-perception? Does it make you itch to gain such foresight/objective-perception or not?

Our interests lead our actions, and then our identity forms that which we implement into our daily-conscious-selves. So once you go from Don Juan and read of this detachment from self-importance and the subsequent abilities to change ones perspective (assemblage point), this may lead you to want to specifically ascertain if this writer describes it to liking of that person who reads it. It may not trigger a conscious motivation to rise from one level of perception to another -- this requires sacrifice -- what Gurdjieff calls in his first-series, "Beezlebub's tales to his Grandson", "being-Partkdolg-duty" which is the combination of two things: (1) conscious labors and (2) intentional suffering. This can be likened to Don Juan very much and seeing that the latter MAY be a subsequent result of the formers arising, it may all lead to different perspectives of the same source of training required to rise in perception.

For example, once you take something like this under your wing and actually devote yourself to at least individually put relatively some effort, then your actions in themselves should always be towards this aim. Like for example, did I respond to you for your sake, or did I post it for that reason plus for the principle of transcribing my thoughts of this subject to you, therefore honing my ability to think holistically and provide you with something that not only benefits you from it alone but also benefits me by the practice itself. It's precisely this type of compound-thinking-doing that needs to be applied. You cannot due anything OR see anything for just one reason alone (at a time) -- you have to combine things at every moment. You have to do two things at once - for two purposes at a time - that is how you make progress. A master juggler who throws 5 balls in the air is only an amateur to a master juggler who throws 8.

Personaly, I used to keep a dream journal when I started...
But I stopped because of lazyness; because I don't like to hold on "useless" memories/stuff (I like to "travel light"); because I easily remember all my lucid dreams.

The trick is that, each time I have a lucid dream, I will always endup waking up instantly after it; without falling back to a non lucid dream.  The lucid dream's memory will not vanish for some reason.  The annoying part is that, on busy nights, I would have up to 4 lucid dreams a night and so wake up up to 4 times during those nights...

The dream journal is also used to discover dream paterns and use those to become lucid...

Good for you!!! You are a true skeptic because you are willing to explore and do not have an agenda to disprove the phenomenon uber alles until you try the experience.

Regarding the mind split and RB's approach to AP, it appealed to me because it was NOT a Mystical approach but an almost mechanic one. To me the mystical approaches to all phenomena are ritualistic in nature. Ritual is an aid to concentrate your mental and spiritual energies. It is not right or wrong, so if you need it, use it. The universe is still a scientific one with rules and everything. Its just that the rules are a lot more complex than the dogmatic scientific method athiest cling to like a crucifix. (I know, I used to be an athiest too. Now I'm more of a panthiest.)

I have experienced the mind split, sort of. I remember a feeling of duality when I apparently had an OBE. I don't remember what happened when out, but I do remember a clear sense of duality.

Hope this helps.
