Thanks Webwanderer Well, you're right. But I describe Lucid dreams and OBE's as same because both of them are Out of body experiences and they are in the Spirit world. There are many dimensions in the spirit world and the subjective dream world is one of them. I think William Buhlman describes this ...

Wow.. What an amazing morning. I had tens of lucid dreams..I am not sure how many.. Maybe 20,30 or maybe even 40..After becoming lucid in one dream, I was waking up (returning to the bed) and then shortly after going to a dream again while being lucid or returning to the same dream. And after waking...

Coronavirus is a minor problem compared to the real problems of the world. Today the weather news told that Arctic is going to be over 5 C over average. And perhaps that is not correct because the recent forecast says that the situation in Arctic is going worse today. As spiritual people we must acc...

The agenda seems to be.. ultimately, to change what is being witnessed. "A new earth".. But don't you see that it's the ego that wants to change the world? We shall all be nice to eachother, mellow, tender, warm, soft, innocent, loving, like cute little white lambs? No! Life is dangerous, wild and ...

In Buddhism there is morality too, and I actually subscribe to it's definitions and approach to morality. Because it is deeply rooted in spiritual practise and the "words" that point the rules actually have a deeper meaning. But when I forget about Buddhism and remember the rest of the "moralists" a...

Yes all of these things are possible in Lucid dreams. Lucid dreams are same as OBE's/Astral Projections really. I frequently have lucid dreams because every night I wake up to go to toilet few times and after I return to sleep I start to have very vivid dreams and/or have lucid dreams. I also time t...

I think that the people who have NDE's, OBE's or people who have limited or (relatively) great psychic powers can't explain the FULL TRUTH of the nature of things. I don't say that they know nothing, they obviously know many things through direct experience, but that is simply not enough. That's why...

Hopefully this title is not misleading, but I find within myself that when I have this uncertainty with having individuality, I find myself more attached to the ego. I had done some observations, and I have noticed that I hate when people dont "Live and let live" or embrace their individuality. The...

Why is it that when you listen to Eckhart talk about enlightenment, he uses very basic words that are far from woo woo talk yet in India they talk about states of samadhi and mahasamadhi in particular where you intentionally leave the body because you are already realized? This guy Sadhguru mention...

Great video. Thank you. When I look to a human, I see a chimpanzee. When I look to a chimpanzee, I see a panther. When I look to a panther, I see a rat. When I look to a rat, I see a neanderthal. When I look to the fake Neanderthal pictures in internet I see a human again. Ironically being aware of ...

I'm reading the Power of Now, about halfway through. He says, in my interpretation, that when you learn to break free of your ego (stop identifying with your thoughts) and live in the "Now", you will feel a sense of peace and joy bubble up in you. If this is incorrect or incomplete in any way pleas...

Thanks you for your feedback. These conditions usually show up in very relaxed states such as going into sleep or coming out of it. It can also happen during deep meditations. What I experience happens all the time in the waking state. Eyes open or closed, with or without earplugs. I don't know if ...

What are your thoughts on the use of psychedelics as tools for presence? I cannot speak for all those since, I am limited to mushrooms and psilocybin. IMHO I can say, I notice a significant degree of presence and or peeling away of layers of ego. My last experience was pretty intense. My first expe...

Anyone reads Eckhart's or any other awakened master's book, he or she would not need to do any further thing to understand it conceptually. I agree with those that spirituality is hard to grasp for the humans because it is opposite of crazy monkey mind humans way of living, but to understand it a pe...

There are different ways to experience the Universal Self and especially one of them is easier to describe it with the words-although it is not possible to completely to describe it because it is beyond form. I experienced many types of ultimate reality realization and one of them is easier to descr...
