Surviving the Void

Great thread as always. What helped me reach the void was a lot of cleansing and purifying, sweat lodges, crystal skull water ceremonies. It was equal parts bliss and terror but overcoming the fear made my soul grow. I wonder if more and more people will experience these things? Or perhaps its just for the select few? Very interesting times we live in. I also wonder if its just kundalini activation or something more. A shaman told me its "walking with one foot in the spirit world and one in our world". Writing about your experiences will be a great service to many. I could have definitely used this info during my "adventure" :-)

perhaps you could quote my post, in which you say i do as you describe, for more clarity?

There are no outside forces. There is only you.

One Foot In, One Foot Out

When traversing this territory, we may have a tendency to become so overwhelmed by the things we are seeing that they begin to override the "normal" reality which most people inhabit. When this happens we can seem "delusional." This is where the paranoia, fear, and uncertainty start to take control. We must always be aware that what we are seeing is not the ONLY version of reality which exists. We must remember that we are existing now in multiple realities at the same time. We inhabit the "normal" universe which the many consider to be the "only" universe. But we are beginning to experience things which they CANNOT perceive (at least in their current state). If we wish to survive this unscathed, we must continue to be aware of this. We must learn to live with one foot in and one foot out. Maintain stability in physical space while experiencing the void.

Hello Kai :) Nice post...like a cat lol

How do you personally access the void? I have been there via entheogens, but do you have any natural ways?

Sleep deprivation. And again, I am not recommending this. But you asked and I am answering.

How long?

Have you tried fasting?

Agreed. this is one sure way. the first sign you have been successful is that you are clinically insane. then in time you will come to realize that you are the only one left with any sanity.

Yes. "Void" is just a word for a place where everything converges. All realities exist and we begin to swim in a sea of uncertainty. It is a place where universal consciousness begins to project into our very realities.

Okay thanks!
I have read through this entire thread, and your explanations have been very helpful to me in understanding my own experience, which in many ways seem to mirror yours (I am assuming that you are writing from personal experience)

Have you met/spoken to anyone there/here? I would be interested to hear, if you are comfortable sharing.
I was wondering if you had formed any sort of friendship/relationship (teacher, friend, adversary, protector etc ) with anyone there and how well you got to know he/she/it.

After a few days of no sleep, it seems like certain senses are heightened and others are dulled. I always got incredibly creative for one example.

Thanks for this.

@kai - if what you write about the "void" were correct many people are living fhat "reality" every moment of their life, so your theory is hypothetical and unproven.

what you are speaking of is people who are leaders and are able to shape ot just their own "reality" but influence reality at a larger of scale as God must be allowing them to have a larger scale of influence. so, i don't believe this has anything to do with any "void," but God allowing certain individuals to lead (even though some of them may not be elected leaders or in the public eye), by shaping things within the world more to their way of thinking. this mist really piss off those who seek the NWO and deny God,

evil exists. even if one person was in a virtual world (what is real? real is still what is happening im that "world"), it would still be evil to be a child molester, murder people, engage in beastiality. etc. in that "world" bc only an evil person would want to experience those things. period.

to deny evil is to deny good and help and what you say you are trying to do here with wanting to help others. why would people need help unless bad and evil exist?

Creativity seems to be inextricably linked to the state of mind which brings perception of the void. This creative insight is tied to the awareness of correlations.

I think I can clarify.

When you mentioned a "disturbed" crowd you were passing judgement on a group of people who you do not know. This is what was being referred to.

Fear and uncertainty are not "evil," my friend.

define "God"

perhaps it is this void? or The Mind (not yours or his/hers or mine but all of ours)

or perhaps it is all non-sense?

"If we were meant to die,"
she started calmly, the dragon finishing:
"why go to all the trouble of living?"

My companion spoke again:
"You don't think we're skilled enough at the art of death? Give us a little credit.
It's been done a billion times before, and you know what? I happen to think that at death, we are second to none.
The void collapses, is tangled in a web to infinity;
matter is born, then stars, then planets, then atmospheres, then cells, then creatures..."
she left off,

the dragon continuing;
"then, a type of creature whom shall bear the crown.
A billion times over, one gets caught in the web that is its reality.
No matter the form, it is in all;
merely look to the crabs that walk on land,
the fish that breach the shore,
the lizards that glide through the air,
the mouse that braves the light,
the wolves that prowl the seas."

At last I spoke... "and the ape... that stands... to reach the apple..."

The realm folded in on itself as the dragon broke its stare and lowered its head to my feet.

"Aha...” My companion whispers. “So now we know for sure...”
She extended her hand, a gentle, sly smile across her face.
“So then.... who is the dragon? Who... is the void?”
My existential fear vanished forever. I grinned triumphantly as I spoke:
“It is I, my dear. I AM. I AM. I, AM!”

I gripped the waiting hand of Ishtar in tremendous, electrified agreement.
The world was almost crumbled to nothing: the black tar had again surrounded the three of us.
I stepped onto the dragon’s mighty brow to stand beside her.

Ishtar bellows: “Oh, hell yes! Time to kick some ass!”

The egos of the three spirits,
identical yet unmistakeable,
jumbled apart then aligned as one.
The black tar rippled,
and its gravity and pressure became incredible.
Electrical bolts ran through the tar as the dragon roared a sigh... of relief.
It began to swim through the thickening, hardening tar.

It burst forth from the blackness,
shattering the thick mire like glass.

“Never again....” the dragon chuckled as it ascended proudly, magnificently.

“Never again”.
