Super Lucid

In the last few weeks I have been working with meditative techniques through Buddhist practice to come up with better ways of becoming "super lucid" or obtaining the stage of what some consider OBE. The Buddhist call these stage of sleep one of the Extra-bodily States called "dream body" and have been practicing in order to obtain perfection of this state. At any rate I have had tremendous success.

Meditation as stated before seems to be really about paying attention. The type of meditation that I use is paying attention to my breath out. During my lucid stage where I start to feel the strong vibrations that come from being aware and obtaining my dream body, the first thing I notice is my breathing changes. I tend to focus on this as a key point to knowing that I am able to "jump out" of my body.

Its not to say that everyone should look into meditation for obtaining lucidity in their dreams, but R also reports that he would also have the same effects when he would practice the meditation. I will continue to explore this rout as I try to learn better skills in obtaining release.

In the last few weeks I have also started to read two great books. One book is called "The Antipodes of The Mind" where the writer Dr. Benny Shanon talks about his uses of Ayahuasca and conducts the first ever psychological study of the drink. So far it has been a great book. The other book is called "Failed God" written by John A. Rush Ph.D and his also turning out to be a great book. Failed God is about the history of human religious experiences and how ultimately religion has turned from an experiences to a society based control modified for its best results. Both books have become a great addition to my collection of powerful books and I hope to write more about them in the future as I explore each one. During thanksgiving break I will be writing up a post about "The Antipodes of The Mind" in hopes to explore some of the areas that the writer touched on as well as my own ideas.

Opening to Energy with Entheogens, Part 1

Martin over at The Entheogenic Evolution posted another great podcast about his newest book "Being Human". This time he talks about exploring energy with the use of entheogens. Here is some of what his podcast talks about:


This week I distinguish the methods of working with entheogens to explore energy from the practices of meditation and the dualism of shamanism and entheogenic religion as discussed in my new book, Being Human: An Entheological Guide to God, Evolution and the Fractal Energetic Nature of Reality

Dream Interpretation in Sufism Past and Present

Ryan over at dreamstudies.org posted another great article about how dream interpretation has been a large part of Sufism from the past and how it is currently being used. Here is a little of what Ryan has to say:


The reliance that Sufis place on dreams in their paths of spiritual progress is illustrated in a dream reported from the life of Imaam Abu Hamid al-Ghazzaalii (1058-1111). In Duncan B. Macdonald’s 19th century biography, it is said that Al-Ghazzaalii was beset by many personal struggles of a spiritual nature during certain phases of his religious studies.

2C-B-FLY

2C-B-FLY is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family has recently been the target of some poor qualities. Apparently the owner of Haupt-RC had added 2C-B-FLY as a new product to its assortment on Monday September 28th and the operator of the company died from consuming it on Saturday October 3rd. Between those dates Haupt-RC has sent out an unknown number of orders around the world.
Some of Haupt-RC’s customers have been warned and thereby may have been saved from fatal ingestion. Unfortunately others have not been reached in time and have been hospitalized and died.

Unconfirmed sources have stated that this 2C-B-FLY was sourced from a Chinese producer. This Chinese producer may be selling to other Research Chemical vendors. It was later said that it was not a Chinese vender that was where the 2C-B-FLY was received, and so it is urged to be careful in all situations.

With all drugs it shouldn't be needed to be said that there should be caution when consuming anything, as there is always flaws.

Long Break Over

The last few weeks I have been reading up on my new obsession about Buddhism. I have learned a lot about the philosophy of the culture as well as some of the aspects of the religion. It really helped me to understand the importance of paying attention, especially in my day to day life, as well as during my sleep. Through some of their practices I have increased my ability to have lucid dreams as well as OBE, however I still believe that this is based on the simple rule of paying attention to my body and mind during the day and when I go to sleep has been the main cause behind this.

This concept brings me to the question of if we are continuing to have lucid dreams and OBE during most nights but just don't remember it? R has brought to my attention that a few individuals have reported this to be the case in the past. It could also be that paying attention to our breathing and how our minds act differently during our transitions between NREM and REM sleep, causes us to notice this and allowing us to become lucid. At any rate meditation and paying attention are key points in just about every way of increasing your lucidity during sleep.

In the next few weeks I will be focusing more on topics that deal with cultures and their drug use though history.

Lucid Dreaming and Christianity: Entering the Light

Ryan over at Dreamstudies.org provides us another great read on "Lucid Dreaming and Christianity." He does an excellent job in educating us in the past history of Christian religion and its references to lucid dreaming, and also on how the church has gone away from these beliefs. Here is a little about what he has to say:



The loudest voices of the lucid dreaming movement cite pleasure, power, and fulfilling fantasies as among the benefits of becoming more aware in our dreams. Unfortunately this popular expression has added fuel to the smoldering and historic distrust of dreams by many contemporary Christians, who are told that dreams can only be temptations of the Devil.

I have yet had a chance to read his book but he states on his most recent podcast that this book is more of and in depth guide to understanding the relationship in psychedelics.

If anyone has had a chance to read this book, please feel free to e-mail me and tell me more about it.
