      im sharing a book... :)

      http://www.scribd.com/doc/11877374/T...rthur-E-Powell


      read page around 64-72. It's so fucking amazing. Everything I've learned / explored with lucid dreaming etc, the concept here, just wraps it all together.
      The ultimate truth that connects everything...

      After reading this and going to bed at 4:30am I had a low level projection.
      I didn't directly slip into it but i think I became consciously aware pretty soon after falling asleep.

      If you take the time to read, It will probably impact people differently than it did me (obviously).

      I am just doing my part by sharing this .

      pretty nice information there and its very accurate
      but i hate the way how he words everything. like he tries to make everything sound complicated even though its not. basically all it says is that in order to LD, we must have control over our brain which is pretty obvious

      thnx for sharing

      Just skimmed the intro, and it seems to be geared towards Theosophy students. The Theosophy "bible" is The Secret Doctrine, by H.P Blavatsky. Theosophy is at heart a comparative study of all religions, or what they have in common.

      I had joined a Theosophy lodge for a bit. It was billed as a theosophy study group, but when I got there the guy said it was a lodge. I didn't get along with the main guy running it. Right off the bat, when I brought up dreaming, he just dismissed it all as an illusion and not important. I didn't even bother arguing with the guy that what we perceive as reality is an illusion as well.

      I thought it would be a place where we could discuss ideas freely, but it turned out to be a place where you get indoctrinated. Memorizing the book seemed more important than experience, so I didn't go back. Plus the parts where we all held hands in a circle for meditation were really gay.

      It's too bad, there were some great people in that group. There was a university professor who could read and write Sanskrit! Totally cool.

      I was seeing a girl at the time, and she asked where I was going, so I jokingly told her it was a cult. Stupid bitch had no sense of humor and actually believed me.

      wow, too bad your experience it was like that. I have almost finished the book and it does say whereas spiritualism is more for people who need to see to believe theosophy is more philosophical. Theosophy has me believing in vampires...haha...very weird but it's interesting.

      funny about the girl lol, was she like "ohhh which cult is it" hahahaha.
