WoW....Very poetic and enlightning.... I pretty much agree with a lot of what you posted. As for what Bigdaddy was saying, Past present and the future, in my opinion are one. In the realm of all etheric beings lies no time. Remote viewing relies mostly with places and things. But Numbers seem to be very hard, even among the top achievers of rv.
I have had many lucid dreams through first, accident, then modification by learning what Rip Snorter said earlier. The understanding to me was the fear, anticipation, and resolve. To have a lucid dream like the ones I have had requires, in my case overcoming the sheer authenticity and realism, rapid heartbeat, that funny feeling in the pit of your stomach when freefalling. All those intensities only allow me to be in that state for no longer than about a minute, up to maybe 2. Overcoming the pains in life can be used in a similair anology.
Problems in our lives will never go away Rip Snorter. I'll be the first in line to agree with you on humility. What I love so much about the positive side of humility. Lessons learned in the process, being humbled, The fast and crazy society around you whizzing by like some fanatical mind game in progress does not intefere, remembering that crazy talk is not to be taken with a grain of salt, Knowing most of the great artists of our time were manic depressionists( if that is even a word),The only solice in poverty is knowing the rich can not and will not take it with them.
In saying that, Life, and the beauty that lies in it's hard deciphering, only leads to the growth of knowledge and wisdom on how to deal with problems around all of us. Bad vibes,bad karma, all lead to negativity which is what we don't need. For me the only way I can still be happy, to this date is the following.......
Meditation one hour everyday........plus absorbing info from good friends like Rip Snorter,
and other members on this post who contribute in such a teamly way. Only if the governments and peoples of this world would act the way LP members do to each other, the world would be a much safer place to live.
Peace out!!!!!
