what IF this is all there is?
just this. nothing more.
oh gonna be a whole lotta religious
freaks shittin' their pants at the
end. this is as good as it gets?
better make it good, don't be farting
around with horseshit. right ?
### - the ability to quite consciously + deliberately enter into altered
states of awareness and explore/probe them in a more controlled + sober
manner, isn't horseshit... it's an utterly intrinsic + fundamental part of ourselves (and probably all life) that we've apparently cut ourselves off
from over incredibly long periods of time, and until all we know about it today being strange tales, quite ordinary random/unconscious dreams + that
of occasionally messin' around with getting out of it via drink & drugs
and/or even via religious fervour; one that merely remains relatively unexplored/mapped in & by modern standards is all, due mainly to all the
taboos that've been placed on (or near) it over time...
horseshit... is to live a life devoid of being fully aware of ourselves
and all the things we can do while being alive! horseshit is to live a
life of just living to work instead of working to live?
yes this IS as good as it gets in... wallyworld! (that shit hole!)
fortunately, there's more to life & living than just sealing oneself away inside a clockwork orange for life heh, and thank goodness there is! true,
we lack the missing + relevant cultural reference points, but can find
them again no problem due to the alternate + unwavering 'nature' of
knowledge existing at/beyond that midway point...
this being something you'll have too personally see/experience directly
for yourself (or anyone) to 'really' understand... the closest cc came to
it in 'his' terms being his concept of 'silent knowledge' heh ;)
lay down, be silent, and your awareness will slowly shift to include the awareness of mild hypnagogia... hang there & keep watching them, don't
fall asleep and they get a whole heap clearer, then examine one of 'em
more closely and allow yourself to be pulled/zoomed into a WILD as you currently 'are' in the full awareness of what you're doing, and now you're
in another reality (one with which you're already quite familiar with so
no biggie, although perforce everything in it will appear far more vividly
than usual...), then, over few more sessions, get used to the more
volitional aspects of having done this by stepping in and out of lucid
dream states at will and until you discover the midway point, linger there
and play around with your awareness under such circumstances, note how
standing at that particular spot enhances everything else to the point of complete volition, note too how by doing that for long enough awareness
deepens noticeably yet again until that of lucid dreaming and/or waking up become utterly equal options compared to each other... play with all that
a while to confirm, and by now another 'type' of awareness altogether
emerges, a completely + utterly detached one/mood! one that snatches knowledge/understanding right outta the air and hands it to ya on a
plate! have a good long soak in that tub before waking up out of it + note
then how you've carried that same completely detached awareness back with
you into the waking world (usually for several hours afterwards) and then look/gaze at the waking world (wallyworld heh) 'from' that pov and tell me
it's not important hehehe ;)
then just do that a few more times (again to confirm) + note how your
overall awareness (of the world) has changed/is changing (expanding
actually) to include this new found ability to be more complete/whole...
note there's a distinct feeling of harmony & ease that goes along with it
all, nature apparently restoreth our humanity...
smile, this isn't just about lucid dreaming pal, lucid dreaming is only
one clue/hint of what we can (and should be) doing all along, the
proverbial tip of the iceberg, an inroad only and thus only 'one' aspect
of it all (again totally unexplored so who knows what that might also
actually contain just in the purely ld-ing-side of it all, that's still anyone's guess apart from weird rumours & myths of ap/obe/parallel worlds
etc, it's another unknown...)
yes chris, the horseshit has to end! the pure horseshit of fake people
living fake lives in fake realities hehehe... people literally raised to
be suckers instead of being raised to be increasingly aware... that shit
really has to end! :)
down with wallyworld!?
(t-shirts/next title? really laffing, nah it'll just fade away all by
itself from lack of attention)
