You mean like a frag limit, right? []

Yeah it can be at times too easy for an individual to get "sucked in" to a game, or just games in general.  I think the biggest
responsability for parents is to make sure that thier kids
realize that it is just a game, it's not real life, and there
are other tings to do.

However I also look at gaming as an good way for people to
let go of thier more "socially unaceptable" thoughts and
behaviors.  That is one of the reasons I like games like
Grand Theft Auto, Carmageddon, Postal, and a slew of others
that have been attacked for being "too violent".  I see very
little harm in games like that as long as the person knows
where the line is.  And it is not up to the gaming industry
to teach that.  That's the parents job.

I am not a violent person either but I like games where I
can hurt, maim, destroy, steal, lie, cheat, and do all those
other things I would never do or can not do in real life.

But my opinion is sacred truth....It says so in the Big Book of Dave.

Actually I think it far easier than people realize for a cult to get started on the net.  Look at the number of people who are pulled in by internet fraud every year.

I think that a cult started by such means could become very dangerous, very fast.  The number of people alone on the net would aloow its numbers to grow rapidly.  This being some thing that your "normal" cult would have difficulty at since thier numbers are large based on the area they are in.  

I also believe that a cult started in such a manner would be very dangerous for they same reason Tisha mentioned, simply because no one is being forced, at least not at the start.  Look at it this way....Your loyalty base for ANY institution, cult, school of thought, or fan club, started in such manner would be much higher.  This due to the very fact that those invloved are there because of thier own free will, no one is forcing thier hand.  These people would remain loyal as long as they thought thier needs, desires, or wants where being met.

If you really think about it, every thing said makes sence.  Look at what happens to "Heaven Gate".  They did have a web site telling every one what they were about, what they believed, and all that junk.  That site lasted about 30 mins after the news hit.  Oh it was copied and mirrored on other sites, but they were all brought down in an extreamly fast time frame.  WHY DO THIS?  Because sadly, the major reason being, people are sheep.  Had the site remained up some one else would have gotten the idea, and followed in the name of those beofre them.  And we would most likely still be dealing with it.

DarkQuest,

You know I have tried that....saying they weren't there and all.  But with the various experiences that I have had it has never worked.  Usually after my initial shock from what ever it is I am encountering at the time I instead seem to re-assure myself that I am dreaming and that I can deal with what ever the problem is.  Hence the idea of scooping up the bugs in the last dream.  Ofcourse I think that part of my problem at least is that I am never fully lucid.

I usually maintain enough awareness to question, control, and record my own actions.  But I have litle to no control over enviroment or people/objects in it.  Simply being aware that you are dreaming doesn't seem to be a good enough trigger for lucidity.

Thanks Krome.

Although I have had others, the one before they were meal worms and they were under the skin.  I spent a long time in the dream forcibly removing them.

Nay,

I checked out the site you posted in another topic.  That is some cool stuff.  I like it.  I have had 1 dream with the long earth worms before.  That one wasn't any fun either.

Interesting thought Mustardseed.

The Astral Pulse Cult.....nope.  It doesn't role off the tounge right.

And on another note.  I do not keep my cult comment for christians only.  I'll use it on anyone who is fanatical.

And in all honesty I believe that all the various religions are extreamly helpfull to a great many people.  But what really chaps me is when a person is unwilly to hear an alternate view because of thier religious beliefs.  It also bothers me when a person tries to crame thier beliefs down your throat as if there was absolutly no other way.  Sadly there are people like this every where, from all walks of life, from every religious and non-religious school of thought.

Short and pointless posts are just that.  Short and pointless.

Nay,

   There was only 2 in there that were described.  Hands and insects.  But the descriptions don't really seem to ring any bells.

   One of the largest problems with dream analysis is how every thing inter-relates.  One aspect of a dream can have its meaning totally changed by another.  I have a feeling that the various "bug" dreams I have been having are trying to tell me some thing but I have yet to figure out what that is.

  SO until then I will continure to soldier on.

Choose to ignore it.

It may sound silly but it works.

You choose to ignore it, you tell yourself its not real, that it's not happening, and it goes away.


But my personal feeling is that the above mentioned is not really dealing with the probelm.

You really should learn as much about the items in question as possible.  Learn both the metaphysical and medical side of various problems and body reactions.

Not every little odd or bad thing that happens in your life is the result of a neg.  There are plenty of physical and medical reasons for many of the problems that people encounter.

I am a hard core PC gamer.

And I am not afriad to admit it.

That being here....alone....in my room.....where its safe......I think.

Nuetral.

1.  I believe that any divining tool can be learned and used accuratly.  But with all things it takes a certain dedication to the craft.
2.  My own personal experiences have worked fairly well for me.  But I know that it is not some thing I will continue to do.
3.  People believe what they choose to.  I just can't buy into the whole aliens talking through it.  I just can't.  But if it works for you run with it.  Just keep a level head.
4.  Guides talk to us in a multitude of fashions.  But I don't think that a guide would teach you through mis-information.  This is too easy to get with the pendulum.
5.  To each his own.  Or her own as not to offend.

Hypnotherapy has worked wonders for me.


I had the same problem for a long time. (years).  This also included not dreaming or not being able to recall dreams or even having the feeling of having had a dream.  Insanity was becoming the next logical step.

However I did some research on hypnosis and talked to a few people who provide the service and I said what the heck.  So now I am much better off because of it.  

Granted this is not the solution for every one.  There could very well be a physical reason for it, pr even a psycological one like stress.  My problem feel into the "other" catagory and I seemed to know this, so hypnotherapy pretty much became my only step to getting rid of the problem.

But it worked.  I do have the occasional problem but they are few and far between and usually only related to stress.

Nope....That one doesn't fit me.

Cave troll.  That fits me.  Not as stupid, or as fugly, but I maintain many of the same habits as one.

One of my favorite things to do is aggitating a "fanatic" by telling them that I am not interested in thier cult.

I do this only for the reason that people don't truely understand the meaning and usage of the word.  It is only one of many words that through time have picked up an alternate and negative meaning.

My own beliefs and the things happening in my life brought me to this.  It is the next logical step in my journey.

The movie Dune is awsome.

I personal suggestion would be to get the directers cut.  You get some thing like 2 hours more of the movie and it makes a whole lot more sence.

I have also seen the more recent release, 2001 I think.  They also, with in the last year, released 1 or 2 more movies that follow the story of Paul's children.  They are done in the same style as the newer Dune movie.  I didn't really care for the effects or acting but the story was interesting.  It's worth a once through.


"I will not fear. Fear is the mind killer." - Paul

epsilon is right.  It's all about control and concentration.  I will admit that certain things can be anoying at times.  There are in truth some things that I just never wanted to know.  But over all I think that my life is made better by the ability.  I have learned how to tone it down a bit and at time turn it fully off.  It is mostly dependant on your mind set at the time.

I am not sure about the aura part but with empathy and telepathy it is also largely dependant on the people around you also.  If every one is "tight liped", and they don't want or need other people to know certain information then you will receive nothing.  That is unless you are to a point where you can activly probe a person.  But that takes a lot of skill and control.  It is also considered an intentional process.

That is an interesting story.  I have only ever had one sleep paralysis episode but was unable to do anything with.  Mostly because at the time I didn't know what it was and I was a little freaked to wake up and find myself in that state.  This due to the dream I had.  But any how.


California.  Cool.  I actually plan on moving to San Diego in a couple of weeks.  Just as soon as I get some money I have been waiting for.

In my own opinion people who are more psychicly inclined smoke tobacco not for the possible benefits but rather spacifically for the adverse mental side effects.  I look at it as a tool to help dull the sences with sending you into lala land.

When do we get your totals?

Another one of my personal view towards my habit is that it is an excersize of control.  It is also an excersize of will at times.  I smoke because I want to not because I need to.  There are times when I physically require a smoke but I will go with out.  I supress the urges of the physical body.

As far as who I am hurting when I smoke.  Largly it is just me.  When I am out side I sit alone, or with other smokers.  Thus limiting the encounters with non-smokers.  If you don't smoke and I am at your house I go with for longer periods, or go outside when need be.  I don't smoke in MY car if I am with a non-smoker.  I try my best to never smoke around kids, even if thier parents smoke in front of them.


I also look at it this way.  I smoke, you should be able to tell when I am smoking.  If you don't like it, don't come near me.

Okay here it goes.....I can hear the responces already.

Okay, I am a smoker trying to quit.  I am currently at about 6 days.

But I digress.  There is a reason that I started in the first place.  It was not because my friends smoked, or my parents, or any of the other reasons people think of.

I decided to start smoking becuase I felt there needed to be a contradiction to my character.  I do not believe that a person can walk fully on one side of the line or the other.  So I picked up smoking as my one bad habbit.  At that point in time I needed something that was considered bad.

Now, the reasons I feel a great many spiritual and or psychic people smoke.  

1.  The same reason I do.  Ballance in all things.  A person must know and experience the bad in order to understand the good.

2.  The act of smoking itself can function as a focal point for ones ablity to relax.  A high stress, or emotionally impacting event can be lessened by a good smoke.  The act of smoking can quickly and easily focus all you attention into the action itself, clearing your mind of everthing else, and allowing you to relax.

3.  People who are psychic function at different frequencies than most people.  Thier brains are attuned to and are constantly working with and on the processes of the persons gift.  For many this can and is a bit much to handle all the time.  Smoking, drinking, you name it, effects the processes of the brain.  This changes the speed,  accuracy, and interupts the processes, thus altering the frequency the brain is operating at.  I personally believe that this helps an individual deal with certain abilities being constantly on.

My two personal favorite quotes are both from Bruce Lee.

"Be like the nature of water."

and

"Consiousness of self is the greatest hinderance to all physical actions."

Yes, my personal belief is that it is fully possible to communicate with others people, things, both live and dead, when in this state.  Through learning to maintain that state and filter out the various sounds you can do a large amount of communication in short periods of time.

Search the site for "telepathy" and you should find several posts on the subject, as well as posts describing that state of mind for skill development.

Yes they can.  Visions can also come in "day dreams" or other flashes of information.

quote:1. Why would i want to control my dreams since they give me clues about future?

Having control over yourself in the dream would allow you to aquire more details about the dream.  In the case of future events this would be extra helpful in gaining info on avoiding prolems if need be, and various other things like that.  Try watching the tv show "dead zone", it would explain it to you fairly well.

quote:2. When i start to take control of my dreams i happen to be waking up because i know that i am not there. But how? Am i there or not?

I have this same problem.  I become aware most of the time when I dream, and most of the time when this happens the dream ends.  From what I have learned it's  a stability issue.  Your brain has to get over certain issues it has with functioning in the dream states.

quote:3. Sometimes while i am falling into sleep i hear nasty big noises, and sometimes loud music. Twice i heard someone speaking to me. I got scared at all times and i hardly tried to wake up. I had no control over these sounds... And they only tell me things that makes no sense. Am i talking to my self or is this a game my subconcious mind plays with me?

This is really common.  It is a sign of projection, or more acurately, it is a sign that your consiousness is expanding.  Some thing you need to do anyhow to project or lucid dream.  The noises being heard can be anything from your own mind to some one else tring to talk to you or just talking.  You get used to it.

quote:4. When i dream the same dream after a while; exactly the same place appears. I know that i had never been to such a place. Do that place exist in the real world? Should i look for a place like that in real life?

You could try.  The only thing is unless it is a preminition, that being a dream of future "physical" events, the place most likely does not exist.  It is possible to create a dream or astral location.  The more you use this location the more detailed it becomes.  It also begins to feel more real, like it could exist in the physical.

Anyhow,  Those are my thoughts on the subject.

quote:a) What was your first impression when you came across this site ?

I was listening to the Art Bell show and guess who was on....Well the site was plugged on the show so I thought I would check it out.

quote:b) How easy was it for you to post a topic ?

I find it really easy.  If I have some thing to say, well, worth saying for the most part.  If not then I don't say anything.  The fewer times I open my mouth the less likely my foot will get stuck in it.

quote:c) How did you feel afterwards ?

Relieved.  For the most part posting some thing is like bareing you soul for the world.  I mean anybody can come here and read what you put up, there are no restrictions.  It is kinda freeing to say, "well here it is...Take it or leave it."
