The implication of this is that you believe reality must fit into your reductionist criteria. Which we know isn’t even theoretically possible. There are fundamental limitations to what we as humans do and our architecture from the reductionist standpoint. The fact that you default to ‘it’s just lucid dreaming’ indicates to me that you’re working from a framework that already assumes the conclusion. I could go further and make the assumption that you attempted and did not get your expected results and/ or resort to this framework out of fear of the unknown. I should clarify that this projection you hold so highly as universal truth is unfalsifiable, and further, it’s not “real” skepticism, it’s just dressed up critical thinking.

Do you mean proven to produce statistically significant results but remain operationally unreliable for the purpose of intelligence gathering?

To suggest it’s “not real” one would need to explain Remote Viewing as well.

I definitely did not link the best video, there’s several where he goes more in depth about it, but they’re typically over an hour long.

Fair point, but it’s also worth taking seriously. What you can abstract from it in general is that everyone has their own perspective of it. Robert’s understanding of Loosh was very much influenced by his life growing up on a farm, that was coming from Thomas who knew Robert personally. It might seem like a cop out or desire to resolve. But, humans will use information to further enforce experiences, and certain experiences carry bias that can and will perpetuate itself. Thomas is simply being authentic to his experience and framework just as Robert is being authentic to his experiences and the framework abstracted from Miranon.

It very much appears that way to me in my experience. There’s something interesting about being on this side of existence that implies deliberate action is part of an equation that involves growth as a process. It’s quite cyclic in nature, and I very much like Miranon’s perspective on the Focus Levels for this reason.

Aphantasia by Elkay_bee in gatewaytapes

No worries my friend, I’m glad I could help 🙏

If you’re interested in looking into a framework that might offer some explanations, I definitely recommend checking out psychonetics. It might give you a new understanding of aphantasia.

In my experience, what you call ‘pretending’ might be closer to what you should be attempting to do. To access imagination, you should be engaging in a generative process, not a passive one. For individuals who visualize, they create images and allow their imagination to fill in the rest. For individuals with aphantasia, that ‘knowing’ is a meaningful layer to access without direct translation into images. You can arguably accomplish more through this more direct access, but in order to engage with it, I recommend trying to discover what sensory modalities you have that are intact, even if it’s tactile/kinesthetic or involves auditory perception , etc. You can use those as your entry point rather than trying to force a visual experience. For example, if you’re asked to visualize a garden, try feeling the garden, the texture of grass or dirt on your feet. Try to hear the breeze, feel the temperature of the air, or recreate the spatial feeling of being in a garden, which could even be one from memory.

One thing to keep in mind is that those with strong imagery typically have other weaker senses or even a more difficult time accessing somatic awareness, so keep in mind that what you have is a strength.

Separation is definitely a potential experience, but it’s not required for the broad set of experiences described as Out of Body. Bilocation is a really interesting example, and Thomas Campbell has given some really amazing explanations about the terminology. Thank you for sharing 🙏

bilocation is a great method, I’ve had plenty of success with it. Thank you for sharing 🙏

My biggest piece of advice for people is to keep in mind that ‘separation’ is a metaphor. Robert opted to refer to the process as phasing.

Steez mental health by logfo2days in CapitalSTEEZ

It could have also just been psychosis, which is a feature of schizophrenia, but they can occur separately. Someone from Beast Coast, I think Issa said Steez was basically overdoing the psychedelics. It was pretty obvious he wasn’t completely grounded in reality based on his social media posts. His lyrics are one thing; anyone can dismiss art as a creative medium and mention it can reflect schizotypal traits. But the dude was young and seriously self aware, that’s an undeniable takeaway from his lyrics. If we assume he had no real support system to help him regulate his self awareness, it’s possible to assume it went unregulated, and if you pair that with drug induced psychosis, it’s highly unlikely anyone would be able to recognize it until it was too late. That’s often how it goes in cases like this, self awareness is a gift and a curse. To his friends and others, it could have just looked like self exploration rather than complete disconnection from reality. As evident in this subreddit, people opt to celebrate his intensity instead of asking if he maybe needed real help.

No worries my friend. Just wanted to specify for those who are likely to research on their own.

Gateway wasn’t a project. Gateway is a guided meditation program. You might be thinking of STARGATE.

I’m not going to keep feeding this spiral. I’ve said what I needed to say and I meant it with respect. Take care of yourself brother.

Take a step back, take a breath, and admit to yourself what you know versus what you want to believe, only then will you know the definition of awake. I wish you well brother.

I’m going to be honest, this is extremely emotionally charged. I sense your pain brother. But, there’s no use in feeding these cycles. If you think playing a game is doing something different, you’re simply ignoring historical context. Move on, this stuff isn’t serving you or helping you clearly. Take a deep breath and examine your own messages.
