I once meditated for an hour while listening to pure theta wave binaural beats. Near the end I began to envision my hometown as it was 10, 50 and 100 years ago. Then I got a brief vision of the town in 2044. All I got to see is that people were paying for things with their fingerprint and that cars were more round in the front.

Holotropic breathing is pretty great. Powerful on its own and also whilst on entheogens. Fasting is great too but on a more subtle level (do your research and be in rude health before water or dry fasting).
>>41230318I've found extremely interesting and useful scientific evidence of the positive effects of intermittent fasting, although the differences between dry and water fasting are still unclear to me. I haven't checked the spiritual benefits of It. Can you share some info with me? I'm on day 7 of a 16 hour dry intermittent fasting.
>>41229566You simply began to dream.
>>41232915i thought lucid dreaming and meditation is one and the same. however, google said otherwise
>>41230862Yeah so fasting is in many spiritual traditions and the more esoteric you get the more frequently fasting is used as an ascetic practice. Why does it bring you closer to God et cetera? Well there are a number of reasons. Firstly is sort of forced you to become more insular and thoughtful for a time, in doing so it breaks your bonds with the material world. Secondly it purifies the material body so spiritual energies flow through you more readily. The large amounts of energy used in digestion are out to other uses. It gives you more time and energy to devote to spiritual practice and thought. It develops willpower. It red pills you on how everyone thinks they know so much but actually they know Jack shit. Because the average person doesn’t fast and in fact thinks you will die. It gives you confidence because you find you don’t actually die because you went without food for a time. Generally the parasympathetic nervous system becomes much calmer. God is within the silence.

>>41229566Be careful with visions, particuraly in this age. You never truly know what you're seeing or who's watching
>>41229566https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBlg8z-Gq7sThis is my go to Binaural Beat track. 20 minutes and i no longer feel my body, aside from a weird electrical tingling sensations. So relaxing for the body.
>>41229566You fell asleep
>>41232950It's largely about dropping things that you crave and observing this craving. When fasting, you see your hunger comes, evolves and goes away. Same with sexual abstinence or abstinence from music or social interactions. The consequence is that you train your brain to reduce its mental agitation. At some point, your inner world is so calm that you can start to see things as they are, instead of being tricked by the illusions of your mind.
>>41232930It's different indeed. Lucid dreaming is a great spiritual practice, because you can really see that everything your consciousness can witness is in fact a pure product of your mind. You don't see reality, but an approximation of it made by your mind. When awake, your imagination is highly constrained by the physical world (unless you're psychotic, under drugs and so on), but when you're dreaming, your imagination runs wild. Some Tibetans (Buddhists and Bon) think meditating while lucid dreaming is the most potent meditation practice you could do.There are lots of bad advices about lucid dreaming. Instead of trying to do it using "direct methods" like recommended everywhere, which may take forever, try the indirect one. Read the Part I of this book to learn the indirect method:https://remspace.net/files/the_phase.pdf#page=6.31There is a newer edition of this book right there, but without the nice overview of the method (unless I missed it):https://avalonlibrary.net/ebooks/Michael%20Raduga%20-%20The%20Phase%20(2015%20edition).pdfWhen you finally enter a lucid dream (to me it usually feels like I'm being sucked into it), touch everything on you and around you, look at the details of things around you and listen intently. This will make the dream clearer and more stable. Also, beforehand, think about one or two things to do when lucid dreaming, so you don't go nuts and wake up or fall back to a lower consciousness. There are ideas of things to do in those books.As said in the book, try to lucid dream up to three nights per week, and if you succeed, do as much lucid dreams as possible during that night and call it a day for about a week. It can be "intense" at first, because you're "teleported" to another world, a bit like an isekai.
>>41232915>>41234457I was sitting up with my back straight
>>41229566You just accessed what Campbell calls "probable future database" doesnt mean that will happen, there is just a certain possibility of that happening. I dont know how much of his stuff is real but intuitively i would say he is not completely full of shit.
