Day 144:
About 2 weeks ago the pain reached an intolerable level so I decided to throw everything that isn't bringing me closer to what I intend to achieve (which I have a vague idea about) out of the window until 7pm each day except on weekends. I have been following this rigorously.
I've been reading "Our ultimate reality", so far it seems like a great book. The author attempts to answer a lot of questions in 700 pages and still keeps repeating some thoughts over and over in a book that he could have written in 2/3 of the length. The book's contents are very interesting and have challenged me on a lot. He even believes that when we dream we leave our physical body in order to travel to the Astral planes. Because of that Astral projection in his book is considered as "lucid dreaming" (WILDs in particular) which is a more common term. And what he calls OBE (Out of body experiences) or Ethereal projection, is often called Astral projection.
Why I brought this up is because I have an easy time achieving lucid dreams when I intend to have them. Now I am more interested in having OBEs and getting some answers to a variety of questions that I haven't been able to figure out on my own. Why this has challenged me a lot is because initially I believed that "lucid dreams" are only happening in our subconscious and are each individuals private place.
How I see it is that through OBEs an immense amount of wisdom can be obtained.
