Do you ever close your eyes when you need to feel like you’re in a different place, and you actually manage to take yourself there? You KNOW you’re in that place because not only are you in your mind with it, but it is in your body with you. My friend Donald used to talk about astral projection and I’m beginning to think he was on to something. When you know a place so well, like you know a well-beloved, you quiet your mind, and go within, and I swear Donald’s astral projection can take you there.
It is amazing what are minds are capable of. In terms of consciously connecting with our spirit/higher selves. I agree, that doing so allows for us to exceed past our/this reality. In fact, consuming drugs/hallucinogens are considered to be a short-cut/quick path towards connecting with our higher selves. However, pop-culture, stigma, and big brother either look to silence this form of thinking and life course practice as being, “pseudo.” That is, it’s pseudo only if it can’t be corporatized/commodified.
Yes, but on the other hand, I’m hopeful it doesn’t become commodified, that can taint a otherwise powerful experience for me.
I have to admit, I have attempted at times in a quiet dark room, but only manage to slip into slumber. I suppose that I’ll get it right someday, lol.
Ah, but where does that slumber take you? Is it really just a dream?
