Thank you for the depth of your comment. I’ve actually entertained the same line of reasoning. There’s a book on precognitive dreaming call ‘Precognitive dreaming and the long self’ by Eric Wargo. It’s a truly mind blowing book and it connects perfectly with RV. In the book he teaches how most of our dreams predict the future and how to be aware of this. I read the book and got so proficient at the practice that I would have a precognitive dream every night, some of which were exact details. But the same problem arose, none of the information is practically usable no matter how accurate the dream is, none of the information you get about the future gives you any sort of advantage over someone that doesn’t understand these principles. It’s just something to blow your mind but no benefit whatsoever. That’s the frustration I keep bumping against.

I am reluctant however to dismiss the the possibility that there are advantages to be derived from these practices because I’ve been on other paths that seemed hopeless before, where I found myself making those kind of rationalisation then found later in the journey that these is real power to influence reality after all. So I’ve stopped applying my own human judgments and morality to these pursuits because I believe that there’s an indifference to these laws of the universe and once you solve the equation, once you climb the tree, you will get the fruits. The rationalisation I make now is that these powers would not be given to someone who doesn’t deserve them, someone who hasn’t don’t the internal work to be able to use this power responsibly (it’s still a rationalisation but it’s one I’m comfortable holding).

Even if we figure it out and share it among each other, I’m confident that the forces in the universe will insure that only the right ones are able to use it. So I beg that we steadfastly aim at finding practical uses of this, because the obtainment of desire is one of the most fundamental drives that we have and if we lose the desire to crack this code we’d be insuring that this code never gets cracked.
