Men, it has been well said, Think in Herds; it will be seen that they go Mad in Herds

Also, and perhaps this is the place to bring it up....years ago I ran across a channeling from 'Gaia.' The gist being that ALL SUFFERING AND ALL PROBLEMS ARISE FROM EGO.

It is very simple. It is not guns, or money, or 'vices;' the misuse of energy all stems from grasping and repulsion based on personal, ego-driven attachment.

Frightening!

Thank God, I'm a woman.

I tend not too run with the herd...My out of the herd thinking is a bit much for them to handle

This is a truth. I call it the herd mentality. People shop in droves. Also they are beholden to do things at certain times or within a limit of time, further driving that herd mentality. This is why you will see people all come up to a counter at the same time. This is also why when there is an item of interest-say with a limit on the amount can be sold-you will see all sense leave the herd as they stampede to be the first person to the item. They may not even really want the item, or not necessarily need the item, but because everyone is trying to get the item they feel they need to have it.

You will find this truth in trends too and it has a lot to do with conformity and fear. People are afraid to be different. They feel a strong need to conform in order to feel love. If they just embraced who they are, no matter how strange or different, they would have love, always.

I fully mastered it back in...2007 or so. I accomplished all the master techniques within about a week except for one. That one was multiplying (cloning) myself to cover the entire dreamscape. I tried and tried, night after night for about 2 weeks. Then, bam, I accomplished it. I won't go into the details of the lucid dream, but I found that you do not multiply your body image and consciousness, you only duplicate your body image. When I did that, I could transfer my consciousness through any adjacent body image. I could do it extremely fast, racing around in and through all these body doubles of me. It was crazy.

It's called, The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep.

Then whats really messed up is when there are those that define love by those who only obey and mold into there system. The group of people that think very highly of themselves and create a system in which people have to conform by - and if not they are outcasts, and social situations change. I see this too often amongst people - most of them being the Christian community - and I'm a Christian.

PRIDE is king within the system. But they'll tell you to your face they mean well.

Yes, I have had my copy for decades. :) There is a follow-up book to it as well, I posted it on my dreaming group on facebook recently.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'lucid dreaming,' -not to be confused, I am well aware of WHAT lucid dreaming is, it's just that I also know there is far more to the work than just 'conscious control'- the Tibetan Dream Yoga focuses on 'clear light dreaming,' of which I have only done once, but it was amazing!!!

I do not try to control my dreams lucidly anymore, I tend to be of the school of 'active dreaming.'

It is very much like conformity is reality, when in truth, we are all VERY unique individuals. The feeling of conformity is comforting for many people. Much of that arises from the comfort of stability and acceptance...and relieving insecurities.

The trick is to not let the fear control you.

Yes, that was the teaching of Gautama Buddha as well. Suffering takes place within the inner self and can be overcome by the inner state of Nirvana.

Moss is awesome.

I have done 'all of the above'. I can lucid dream at will, so I have done 'active dreaming', meditation in dreams, clear light dreaming, regressive dreaming, creation dreaming, astral travel, OBE, WILDs, etc. etc.

Since I am aware so often in my dreams, I have tried everything I can think of while on the other side.

Do you not find it fascinating how today we rely so much on science and technology for our answers, and YET...the prophecies and truths learned through intuitive process by ancient wise people, shamans, all over the world are ultimately what we look to for understanding? :)

When I was a child, I grew up in a natural environment...out in the woods all day every day, no electric, off-grid, sustainable life...and I discovered a truth I called 'Is-ness.' that Nature and the Universe were not in judgement of the perils or joys of existence, all in Nature simply IS. So from a very young age I decided I was going to work with THAT.

Later I discovered I had figured out what is known as ZEN. :)

I did a weekend workshop with him some years back. :)

Hey if you are on FB at all check out my dreaming group, yeah? We have some really amazing dreamers there. Some of whom you may know from this forum. ;)

"We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one new delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first.
…Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."

-– Charles Mackay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, 1852

..... Thought is difficult and painful. The difficulties and pain are due to confusion. From time to time, with enormous intellectual effect, someone creates a little order - a small spot of light in the dark sea of confusion. At first we are all dazzled by the light because we are used to living in the darkness. But when we regain our senses and examine the light we find it comes from a farthing candle - the candle of common sense. To change the metaphor, the sages chase their own tails through the ages. A little child says 'Gentlemen, you are chasing your own tails.' The sages gradually lose their angular momentum, and, glancing over their shoulders, see what they are pursuing. But most of them cannot believe what they see, and the tail chasing does not die out until a generation has passed.....

Herd lesson 101:

Once upon a time there was pappa bull and his little son bull.
One day they were standing atop of a hill over looking a valley of a herd of 50 female heffer's. The little bull got all excited and started jumping up and down saying "daddy, daddy, lets run down there fast and fuck one of them heffer's"

Daddy bull says very calmly,,
"No, No little son, we'll take our time and walk down there, and we'll fuck them all"

BEautiful. I see your light. Who is S.y.n.g.e. ?
