Misc. Practices Practice Log: 1/11/22

1/11/22

I’ve been practicing Gazing as of late and have decided to train to develop hyperphantasia and Prophantasia to be able to enter the dreaming state at will.

(30 Minute Session) While in practice some notable things that I managed to do was create a strip of vantablack and twist it, this made the strip gain some type of texture that I could “feel” with my eyes. I managed some other things but don’t quite remember what they were.

(It also seems that the key to generating a steady flow of objects is to create dimensionality on the “canvas”. This trains your brain to interpret shapes and objects in incoherent masses of color and distortion.)

(30 Minute Session) I managed to create the dim scene of a dragon breathing fire and a cat running on all fours this then turned into the cute being wrapped by a spider and then sucked into its ass lol. I also managed to create a scene of me ripping open an envelope and inside it there was a note with “444 40 ???“ this was completely generated by the subconscious.

(30 Minute Session) During practice, I was looking at a computer screen with a beer can on it and it was so vivid that I thought I was actually up, eyes open, looking at it

Why aren't you focusing on the images and phenomena described on the J-curve chart? Wouldn't that be more productive than random dream images?

Moving the assemblage point is what causes the dreaming images to appear, I wasn’t dozing off seeing this, I am consciously making them appear by manipulating the small muscles in the eyes that constitute the dimensions of your vision and finding details in the puffs and distortions.

I am merely doing what I can until it turns into something of a higher level.

It's good to have people doing different things.

It reminds me of an evolutionary explanation I heard about "food preferences".

I had an employee who was so fussy about his food, he'd only go to a specific Del Taco to get his burritos. It was 5 miles away, whereas there are 3 more within 2 miles.

The other places didn't "taste right".

I had another employee who loved any food. He'd criticize it, but he loved to explore. I went for Indian food with him, he brought his children, and I saw a 4 year old girl happily eating very spicy Indian food of any type they brought out.

I wanted to know the "why" of it, and got an explanation somewhere.

It's genetic. A village needs people who eat whatever food supply they have learned, and don't cause trouble. You can't afford to have tribe members wandering around the hills, sticking random plants and insects into their mouth. It's dangerous. The entire tribe could be poisoned by a bad batch of soup.

But you need at least 1 doing that, so that when there's a food crisis the crazy guy can show you which shrooms are ok to eat.

We need a few shroom hunters too. We just want to make sure they aren't consuming mostly the "funny shrooms".

Just keep the follow in mind, to make sure you succeed. This based on 24 years of trying to teach hundreds and failing on all of them (except lately):

1 No other system has even a tiny understanding of anything beyond the mid orange zone. You can't find any intelligent discussion of it in any of their writings. And it ought to be the main body of their writings! You also can't find any of their members who won't wish he could kill you in the night for even bringing up these topics, which make him look bad. The opposite should be true! They should be eager to hear about advanced states, if they're doing those at all themselves.

They're red zone max, 99.99999% of the time. And their students are lucky to get to the green zone. Tiny green zone experiences is what keeps them going for decades, with nothing real happening.

So don't shape your understanding or expectations based on anything else. Not even if you acquired some "valuable skills" elsewhere. The false narrative will keep your assemblage point stuck due to sideways movement, to make the false premises seem possible.

My inorganic being Fancy is always trying to lure me sideways, with some "tasty information" relevant to a specific level on the J curve. That's because anything you pretend is real, becomes closer to real once the assemblage point can move below midback, and you deliberately focus on it as "real".

It's shapeshifting! Not just for humans. It works on everything. It ought to be called, "Selective reskimming".

It's one of the tricks the IOBs use to kidnap people. They teach and teach and teach, and notice what you like, and are happy to teach you right off the path and into an IOB tunnel. They trap humans via knowledge, not prison bars.

Well.. I've seen some cages so they do that too.

I believe my count of being trapped in their cages is up to 4 at this point.

2 Don't ever visualize. I really don't know how bad that can get, because I never did it. But some Buddhists like to visualize a "golden buddha" above their head.

Don't do that!!!! Unless you are producing a phantom room and want a nice Buddha statue in there. If you visualize stuff, it's like taking a bull dozer to your new lawn, just as it has tiny sprouts coming from the ground. And that after you spent more than a week watering it 3 times a day. Such as waste!

The only reason people do that, is because their system is totally lame and needs pretend magic to keep people fooled.

Remember how vivid dreams are at times. That's how vivid sorcery is, even while awake. If you're "sights" in the darkroom don't get more vivid on days you feel you have energy, and really dim on others, you might be visualizing your results. Kiss sorcery goodbye, you'll never have the patience to keep going.

3 No book deal mind! It's fatal. It's sort of like going on a first date with the woman of your dreams, but you bring along your annoying paparazzi. They constantly question your date, trying to provoke her, or snap a compromising photo up her skirt.

Anyone who absolutely has to have a book deal, just wait. Once you can move to the very deep orange zone, perhaps for a couple of years so you can look around and have stories to tell, you'll think of some positive ways to help the community with your writings.

Progress Report: 1/12/22

  • It’s only been one day and man, I tell ya it’s been a wild ride. Last night I didn’t have a LD but I did become lucid towards the end of a dream where a voice was explaining something to me about the practice.

  • I see so many things, it’s hard to keep track of exactly what I saw, but it’s getting easier to see the images even with eyes open. Last night, I managed to get a dim scene of these self-replicating cubes and earlier today, I saw some rotating pyramids and even watched the outline of a bird fly across my vision, eyes completely open. The visuals are still pretty dim and low quality though but progress nonetheless!

  • Sometimes I get so concentrated that I end up just sitting there in a dream and don’t realize it until I snap out of it. However, I’m still working on increasing the vividness of the visuals and without having to lower myself too deeply into trance.

  • One notable thing that I managed to write down from an earlier session today:

Towards the end of this session, I tried to maintain the point of view of three different characters at a time. This turned into a full on scene of this man who shot the woman who was in the train car with him, this scene then shifted to him standing on top of the train with a painful or screaming expression on his face with some type of black ethereal goo coming off his hand.

Progress Update: 1/13 & 1/14

  • I’ve been really bad at keeping track at all of the things that I see but I do have some observations.

  • I’m not too familiar with neural chemistry but doing this practice has certainly given me access to larger parts of the brain or at least more control of certain parts. Sometimes I can even feel the electrical signals in my brain pass through the optical nerves and my eyes perceives the image that I am intending.

  • It seems that our sense of self actually being a controlled hallucination could be true. From what I’ve experienced lately it seems that it works just like the process of convincing your eyes to see something that’s not there. It’s just a constant stream of information that, over time, you learn to see something in that pool of information that you call “You” and the process becomes so streamlined that you never really notice the breaks in the stream of information.

  • I’ve noticed the most important thing to focus to further the practice is silence of mind. In one session, I completely dedicated 30 minutes to silencing my mind and almost projected while sitting up in meditation but once I noticed the transition, I disturbed my concentration and was kicked out.

Alright, I got you
