please, tell us more.. What other mental powers do you have that you can talk about?

I just done c wat the problem is with believing in an entity, iF it arouses emotion in you thats free energy for the taking, and if you do believe everything is inside yourself then everything your looking at in waking life must also be inside you aswell.

An "Altar" of some kind works well. You can adorn it with "Sigils", candles, etc. You could also have a Incense Burner there burning either Sage or some kind of Pine Forest scent. A Crystal Ball on the table with some of your favorite Crystals and unique stones works as well.

You could use a tablecloth on your Altar with a moon and stars print. You can find these on other Magick stores on the web.

Use your imagination. You have stated your theme. What do these things represent to you?

These themes represent happiness and exploration, but now in this summer with long days and hot humid weather I get very depressed. The days are long hot and tortorous, I cant even stand being in my body anymore. All these qualities of summer take me outside myself and force my attention on the pain. It is as if I am experiencing hell.

On the topic of magick spaces' does anyone have any advice that would help me to create more mystical states of mind
i don't have much material decorations, although i did cover the windows so it can be pitch black and keep my single black-light on.


(BTW)themes that really move me are; night, winter, the moon, short days, pine forest-

i was thinking about the book "locked in" & also blind people. The plot of locked in (true-story) was a man paralzyed that learned how to communicate with subtle mouth movements. He uses this method to communicate to a writer about how he spends his time having "delicious meals" and going on "great adventures" by practicing concentration.

Blind people from birth have the ability to visual forms and shapes, and may well probably there whole lives building some astral environment or BST, with everything they visualize hardening into more permanent environments.

Then i was thinking of people like steven hawking.

I thought that maybe people choose to have this dis-ability in the after-life to assure that they will gain mental control much more rapidly in there next life(bit of a trade off).

I kno to a lot of u here will think the idea of someone who has no memory of death cant accurately speak about it and i understand. But there is a common thread of thought that i prescribe to that a lot of others here have and this may pertain more to them.

i should make it clear that i was exhausted from the insomnia. i had only gotten 2-3 hrs of sleep, and was very tired but cud not get my body to relax to fall back asleep, thats how my insomnia works.

on top of that i had taken medication which knocks me out 10x even further

& @ sax that water-wheel effect i was describing(in which i was half awake looking at my room), so it wasnt in the np that i was exhausted. It was the exhaustion that took me over and "forced" me into the np, which is probably why it was very over-whelming.

Although this may be, if i can find a way to comfterably transition to this state, it cud alleviate my insomnia

as far as my progress with lding, i am kind of an oppurtunistuc lder. only when its comfterable enough do i take the intiative to control it.
I like your statement about "fighting yourself" to control the dream, this is where i shud push myself. Its a part of me that i guess has been hidden and is asking for my attention.

i have severe insomnia which i use a variety of methods to overcome. more particularly i have what is called early morning awakening where intially i fall asleep for 2-3 hours then am not able to go back to sleep.

this experience (which just happened) was intiated after taking a 12th of my prescribed medication (its strong) although i cant soley blame it on that

the pervading theme of this dream marathon was uncertianty, attack on my belief system and or loss of "ego".

Thing started to go array when  noticed i was dreaming. I felt uncomfterable in the dream as i didnt have a lot of control over it and desired to be awake again. So i used, some method which i normally use to get back to waking consciuoness. I used itm but when i got to that threshold of beinf able to escape i had to move "physically in order to be awake completely, i was so exhausted that i took the chance of falling "back in". This created a sortof "water-wheel" effect where i kept moving back and forth between this comfterable and scary state due to my exhaustion and lack of consciousness.

Eventually i was thrown into a more stable dream. I still had the notion i was dreaming but had no control. There was a struggle between my exhaustion to just let go and let the dream take me and the fear uncertainty. I think i started crying. I tried telling everyone around me in my dream that i was stuck and needed to leave. They didnt care, i started foul mouthing my mom and keeping close to other family members. I was like a little kid again. I should note this sint thte first time i experienced this although not to this duration the "theme" is not unfamililar. So basically the rest of the time was a struggle to not let myself fall below the "threshold" and maintain some degree of control. It was exhausting, scary and releiving to finally leave when i had enough energy to physically get up.

the rite of passage, the action of me transcending the fear and uncertianty, throwing myself into the aybss and being open to a new experience may have been a lesson i think i was afriad that if i were to experience this i would loose myself.

Actually, it's nothing special, it is simply how your vision works.

When you 'stare' at something, the image stagnates and doesn't update properly.
All your senses do this kind of thing. 

If you stay in a smelly room, eventually the "smell" goes away.
If you hear something for long enough, the "sound" eventually becomes part of the background.
If you put your hand in warm water, eventually the feeling of the water disappears.

This is also why you blink... it "resets" the image you're seeing.  Any movement causes this action to trigger.
You can use this to project with your eyes open actually... but it requires you to not move for a very long time.  LOL  Easier said than done... but if you're able to, eventually you'll end up seeing "nothing".
That point when you see "nothing" is actually when what we call "the void" kicks in.  It's what you see when there's nothing to see. 

this doesnt explain how he was able to see behind himself

thanks although there wasnt an actual flame i was just using that as a metaphor

As the title suggest that is what I experience. Last night i was over-whelmed by one.

almost like a violet flame about to annihilate a lint ball, in the face of these I feel infinitely powerless, infinitely meaningless. In the face of these life has no meaning anymore. It seemed to have the power to take-away "my purpose" because if "this" could exist everything I am is meaningless. From doctors I've worked with, they've told me you are more susceptible to these attacks when you wake in the night because parts of your brain that normally intercept these energy onslaughts are shut-off.
To describe the experience it was just "over-whelming energy".
I am upsetted by these experiences afterwards because of the re-definition they have caused. Its just something i cant ignore.
In your opinion do you think these experiences are:

*something i was meant to experience?
*something that contains a lesson?
*some totally illusory force?
*something incomprehensible by me, so i interpret it as the most "dangerously" possible event imaginable?

Thanks for reading

im not a subscriber of coast to coast am, but i go on the website to learn about interesting poeple and find cool links

Did anyone happen to see the show 2 or 3 nights ago? they had someone on, morgan spence, a researcher who has deidicated him/herself to studying the "shadow people" and proposes that they are "real" or seperate from humans, i guess is a way of saying it. Tho, the person did not have a website or link, and i didnt find much on them, being as the "shadow people" are often discussed here i could imagine that this persons research would be relevant to many regardless of their beliefs.

when the consitution was written ppl were firing muskets that took like 15 minutes to load and shot one round at a time, if the ppl who wrote the constitution saw the guns we have today they would probably shlt themselves.

with progress and technology guns are going to become more and more lethal and efficient.. no matter what, someone is going to have to draw the line sometime soon.

so if the ppl who embrace the 2nd amended want to hold strong to its orginal meaning i have no problem with them owng flimsy inaccurte 200 year old rifles.

i read that link, once you are "locked there" as you said do you have to keep stimulating those senses to stay lucid or does there come a point where you can just explore?

i saw that doc.

it was very good, not only do they talk about the origins and age of the pryamid they talk about the mystisicm and spirituality involved in the design and layout of egyptian monuments and temples.

An interesting part i learned about is when they talk about how the masculine vs. femine approach affected the evolution of egyptian society.

I wonder what the significance of the orion constellation was? maybe some kind of origin?

go to the energy body and chakras section of the forum, there is a sticky there with a link to some very good free binural beats

mother nature has been speaking up!

the past 2 decades have produced some of the most bizarre weather ever seen, in affect that we are messing with the composition of the atmosphere.

its projected to increase the next 50 years atleast. we can expect to see increased tropical storms, floods, droughts, record breaking temperatures...

im not looking forward to summer

Someone posted this here awhile ago, sounds like you might be interested in it.

the sounds work without you concentrating on them, so its preferrable to focus on a visualization, relaxation,"noticing", etc.

there should be a sticky on this question

usually when i get to the point where scenes are playing before me or images come i am half conscoious and my awareness has checked out. I try getting to that point during the day, i can get my body very relaxed but my mind will remain very active,im an anxious person and my mind is always racing with thougts,. Once i get relaxed i sometimes try to day dream something but my creativity runs out and i return to analyzing and questioning.

At what point in your relaxation do you know your ready for phasing?

wow pliestocene? 100,000 years? unfathomable.. but who knows. this, i believe ties into egypts link with atlantis. As plato had stated. 

It seems that the egyptian civilization faded away as they turned away from the old teachings and converted to a more masculine unbalanced approach to life.

I dont think the pryamids were one of the first structures on earth though. I mean the earth is 4 billion years old.

I know there are pryamids all around the world, the largest by volume actually is in Mexico and they are at the same latitude as egypts. There must be a link, which also makes me think of the supposed pryamids found on Mars.

If you want to start an all protein diet it wouldn't be smart to rely only on vegetal proteins since they don't contain all the essential amino acids your system needs. (These are the ones your body unable to synthetize). And these amino acids are essential for the uptake of the other amino acids, so without them you would be in a serious trouble in the long run.

I am a vegetarian too, and I consume dairy to avoid that. Another option could be recombinant proteins produced by microorganisms, but I'm not sure if they are used for nutrition purposes by humans, at least not where I live.

Also, you should ask your doctors about metabolic acidosis whet it comes to all protein diet  .

Eating corn and beans will provide you with all the amino acids you need. Its that simple 

Contemporary archealogist believe they are around 3,000 years

Alternative researchers like anthony west believe they are 10,000-30,000 years old, for reasons like the erosion of the walls of the sphinx, the difference in dating between sites, and many undiscored sites just to name a few

Also I believe many with spiritual insight believe they are far older.

Personally im guessing >10,000 years

I would search for beats that say theta or delta, or sleep
