Nice to see the videos coming so fast ^^ |

Hey guys, I've just made this quick video. I thought about this particular idea because I saw a thread about how someone's parents didn't agree with their lucid dreaming. |

Hi Slash, |
|
Yeah the ignorance blows my mind, but like I said in the video, I do understand that people do tend to dismiss what they don't know or understand. |

No. I don't think it comes down to a lack of education. Most people aren't educated about Simple Network Management Protocol, but we all use it, and nobody associates it with the work of the devil (Okay, very few people associate it with the work of the devil.) |

Sloth: It's not as simple as comparing it to something else. To be honest there isn't a rhyme or reason to it, but it really does come down to lack of understanding. When the understanding is gained, it is made much clearer, meaning less disagreements (or to put my point across clearer: less misunderstandings) |

I don't comprehend not thinking it is possible. I guess the whole unconscious while conscious thing might seem impossible, but I thought that most people had had at least one time in their life that they woke themselves up from a nightmare or such. |
|
Ah. Well, funny thing about nightmares is, it goes both ways in relation to lucid dreaming: lucid dreaming can help with nightmares, and recurring nightmares can actually help gain lucidity (recurring dreams means really easy dream signs to use with a technique such as DILD). |

Whenever I think of someone calling anything "the devil" I imagine someone like Adam Sandler's mom from Waterboy saying it. Theres always those "fringe christians" or extremists which call everything "the devil", just like adam sandlers mom from waterboy. They've put that label on Dungeons and Dragons, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Star Wars, and many other things. Seems like mostly geeky things but you get the idea. Of course to even be that kind of christian means you have a severe lack of questioning reality, and ultimately only very gullible people get to that level. You aern't going to win in a debate, simply because their mind will never be open to one. It's really such a shame to see a religious person unable to experience the real beauty of life. |

Hahah yeah man, when I came home from uni (after making and uploading that video), my dad actually put on the film Waterboy, and I was laughing my head off cause of the timing. |

No, I get your point. And I did not mean to imply that it is not stemmed from a lack of education (I heard that unintended hint upon reading it agian). What I am saying is that it is not ONLY stemmed from a lack of eduaction. What I intended to convey was that there were other factors that go along with that. I don't understand why dreams would be considered evil. |
|

This is why the only way I can progress with learning things that are abnormal is to simply not be fixated too much on other people's misunderstandings of those concepts. I think people are just afraid of losing their foundation and having their ideal schemata of life demoted or degraded when something like this acknowledged by a vast number of individuals. |

Sloth: Ah, fair point actually. As CloudlessSky pointed out, some people are at that incredible level of being blind following, gullible, closed minded numpties. And in those cases my video will actually do no good, cause they think they've got it all figured out. |

Evil is of course a religious term, and religion is about mind control - thought policing. Religions seem opposed to anything that promises the individual freedom and power, and they want to be able to frighten people into thinking their way because when people open up their minds and develop knowledge of their own inner nature they stop believing religious claims. Add to that the fact that to uneducated people Lucid sounds a lot like Lurid, and also that many people (not just religious) are afraid of psychology and the subconscious mind (Freud made it out to be pretty messed up!) and I think it's pretty clear why a majority of people (those who aren't well educated or liberal in their beliefs in particular, in other words most people) get pretty freaked out when people want to talk about dreams in an open and honest way. |
|
Of course. As a non-religious person I don't believe in Good and Evil as external forces that control us and are presided over respectively by God and Satan. |

Great vid. I think it's great that someone faces the issue that some parents may keep their children from lucid dreaming or what so ever. It would be great if lucid dreaming would be recognized and that would be a more accessible topic. |
|
And is that the accepted definition of evil? Surely the term existed before Satan. Obviously the term was made up by humans, just like "table", "life", "truth", and "know". Why does the word hold such strong connotation? What would make something "evil"? |
