A short with Kellogg's

Took 1 h of work time for building an enclosure for a RPi storage server. Then took 15 min off and meditated at the sunset. This jerked the third eye a bit more open, felt a bit floaty and a headache appeared at the center of the right hemisphere.

Last night I practised Kellogg's method for inducing OBEs ("Consciousness Beyond the Body: Evidence and Reflections" by Alexander De Foe). Stomach didn't feel too good, so I fled to sleep instead. Woke up at 4 AM, visited the toilet. Then picked the cat up from my room and put it down on the couch in the living room .. did that maybe 15 times in a row. Brain woke up, I stumbled on something that made noise and redirected cat's attention. Another attempt at Kellogg's method. I think I did get an awake mind in a sleeping body but didn't try to crawl out .. just laid there for some time.

Maybe that also contributed to the release of blockages, which has increased the flow of psi in the right hemisphere.

Swaying in the waves of infinity

Took a bus to the capital to use the last chance to see Ryoji Ikeda's "Supersymmetry". First impression: "mildly interesting". I liked the way he presented the idea of particles forming crystal lattices.With lasers and stroboscopic light, I think he highlighted Heisenberg's uncertainty principle as well as the limitations of our technology in measuring these particles (need to take snapshots or integrate). Stepped into the second room. A lot of screens, showing the same thing - what we've learned about the physics of the universe at various scales (probably from Planck's length and time up to the size and age of the universe). Every now and then in the room, there were flashes of light going one way and reflecting back at a different speed. Guide said something about space and time flowing in different directions. General theory of relativity, perhaps? The light cone thing hasn't made too much sense to me, ever since secondary school. Then the pre-experiment tests and characterization measurements were illustrated. Me: "meh". Suddenly the experiment started and something "clicked". I realized the whole exhibition was being shown from the perspective of computers and technology (a sort of sterile, sad an neutral infinity). A sudden boost of inspiration and a bunch of emotions were released. Walked over to the guide again, to listen to the last part. Most of what the guide talked, wasn't that much related to the ideology or philosophy of the exhibition. It was mostly about the art, art philosophy and the biography of the artist. Apparently, Ikeda had managed to remain anonymous throughout the opening of the exhibition. (This made perfect sense to me.) Other artists had wanted to ask questions and comment, but never got the chance. (Somehow my body spontaneously made a sound of scorn. This sort of reaction was out of my role, so I felt embarrassed.)

A short introduction into channeling? In any case, serious respect towards Ikeda's group. The most deep and awesome exhibition I've experienced so far.

About a week ago I remembered the image of an ominous bell tower in the hometown. First time I saw it, I thought it wasn't real because it's not supposed to be there. Anyway, remembered it and had a tough time trying not to focus on it in the mind's eye. For me, the tower associates with a dark age in the present but similar to that during the medieval times. Suddenly it seemed way too easy to accidentally slip through. An "easy" portal to the lower realms?

Hmm .. I think the tower is only visible from two places (or even just one). Either from the church or from an apartment building next to a theatre. The apartment theatre and apartment building have been built on a field, which I remember from early childhood. Walked through the field with Mom one day, and I guess I had previously also visited the place in OBE or something. The place was exceptionally bright with golden light. Perhaps it's just two poles around a center (a mansion with yellow brick walls)?

Not sure what this is about, but each time I visit a museum or art exhibition, I become a bit disoriented. This time two girls went past me on the stairs and commented about the same effect. Each piece of art seems like a portal to a different realm. Perhaps it's this that causes the disorientation and confusion of the mind?

Black orb .. another succubus?

Experimented with applying focus to things slightly beyond my interpretation of the world. They're so subtle that it's difficult to maintain focus on them without trying to interpret or judge them. Very difficult to put this into words properly. In Castaneda's terms, this practice could be described as moving the assemblage point to unlit fibers of energy within the luminous egg. It's exciting because of all the "foreign" and yet "familiar" experiences that are triggered. It's risky as well, because the practitioner would often encounter things without being prepared for it.

Anyway, yesterday evening I explored my blockages like this. Very effective in releasing hidden tension and stress. Felt quite good and floaty already when suddenly a small dark blob came at me from across the room. It went past the tip of the nose and hit the cheek so that I could physically feel the impact. Wondered about it but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary in the mind.

A random dream. Some kind of a meeting or a conference or something. Eventually someone shooed me away from the podium - apparently I was sleeping there or something. Thought I would do some work, so I left the hall and started looking for a neat place where I could sit down, take the laptop and code. Found a horizontal surface that would've been okay but it was a bit small and very slippery. As I climbed on it, others did too. Took a place and was about to take the laptop out of my backpack when a pretty girl climbed and sat on me. Me: "Hey, what the heck?" Realized she was a succubus (although she seemed to be missing that typical malicious intent). Some kind of a scoreboard appeared on the HUD, displaying the amount of energy vamped. Quickly anchored the energy from the lower body up the spine and into to the head (have been practising this recently). Not good enough. Gently hit against her lower back with my right palm. Vamping stopped and she lost consciousness. Didn't feel too good about that, though. Too violent an approach, in my humble opinion. Tried to make up for it in my mind, while on the way to work.

Ah, and while waiting for a car, I stared at a tiny cloud in the sky. The tiny one was right next to a couple of larger ones. Tried making it larger. The cloud gradually branched out. The branches looked as if someone had pulled from the little ball of wool. Then the branches gradually became thicker. In a few minutes, the cloud was quite a bit larger. Some time later when I looked for the cloud in the sky, then it seemed to have merged with the other clouds.

Dream: pouring through the ceiling

Leaked energy on purpose again while trying to redirect as much of it up the spine as possible. There's no combustion with wet candles. Need a proper ratio of fuel and air in the mixture.

Felt pretty good after that, and actually managed to concentrate on the right hemisphere again. Have been feeling somewhat floaty ever since. There's also a specific sensation of pleasure spread throughout the upper-body. Last night I had two dreams.

1. I'm at some kind of a hall, planning for a festivity with a facebook friend from a remote country that I've never visited. We brought food and started moving furniture around and stuff. Eventually other people started coming in. Everything okay so far, except for the fact that it's probably raining outside and the ceiling is leaking. A few drips here and there, at first. But in the end it was literally pouring indoors ... through the ceiling. While it seemed somewhat wrong, I took advantage of it and enjoyed the rain.

2. I'm at the summerhouse. Working on my laptop, of course ::facepalm::. One of the aunts there is a vet. She was analyzing different kind of genetic diseases and described me some (with pictures and all). The first one was something about a specific part / component being missing in the throat. It was dependent on gender. Then another one was some sort of scales or lobes or somesuch growing out of the neck or something. Didn't pay that much attention anymore. Asked her about a dis-ease that only manifests in the astral. A friend popped up with a dog or cat that had this dis-ease. Basically, the spine was loose in a half-manifested body. To us it seemed obvious but aunt couldn't make heads or tails of it. I had assumed she would know a lot more about astral manifestations and how issues propagate between astral and physical realms.

The first dream highlights what's going on with tummo. Things are melting inside, and ego is trying to hold it together while it's pouring through from the cracks between fingers like fine-grained sand. Enjoyed thought-provoking discussions with sister yesterday and today.

Mentioned one of the glitches that I had many years ago - a theatre swapped places with a printing house. Though, sister's reaction was strange. She was also sincerely surprised that she remembered the theatre the same way I did. This printing house is cool tho, stylish, covered in solar panels and stuff. So maybe it's good that it's there.

Das Detachment

On Monday and Tuesday I had unconditional love, happiness and heat flowing round and about. On Wednesday there was a local peak in stress. On Thursday it transformed into a local peak in depression. It was a combination of many things:
  • Exponentially growing amount of work with a negative timeline.
  • One of the best colleagues in the project still severely ill (has been weeks) with no signs of getting better.
  • Have been missing deep sleep stages for some time (sleep deprivation).
  • Probably some of it from friends (M. Grubb's brother; and another friend with tough times), via empathy.
So, I had been working on detachment .. which wasn't all that successful, either. Today morning I sneezed once and felt something leave. Some kind of a dark cloud around me was gone (everything looked brighter and more colourful) and I felt a lot better. Felt like enjoying a 1.5 h hike to the meeting. Detachment had its effect and I couldn't help but notice again just how sad nature / Earth is. As a familiar side-effect to detachment, I could see the light that shines through everything and my emotions had an immediate effect on the weather. This yielded some cool weather phenomena:
  • Sky with high contrast - patches of thick clouds and cracks of clear sky.
  • Mild rainfall with thick clouds and a small opening where the sun shines through, producing a column of light.
  • Medium snowfall with the sun shining through.
In addition, focused detachment produced a feeling of weight-reduction, several realizations and flashbacks.

Hypnagogic snake rising

Yesterday was nice. Today wasn't as nice.

A couple of evenings ago I relaxed my mind into earth, then into water, then into fire.

Yesterday there was a calmness, unconditional love and internal heat present throughout the day. Sometimes a problem appeared in the mind, but dissolved very quickly. Each time something "burned" away like that, it felt as if I were at the desert somewhere, dreaming of this life. Before falling asleep in the evening, I had hypnagogic imagery of being at the desert again. Then a snake appeared. This snake started rising like a straight vertical pole. It seemed as if this snake was infinitely long. At some moment I recognized the symbolism as "kundalini rising". Regardless, nothing unpleasant happened.

A couple of nights ago I transformed boring war game dreams into a flying race. My cloud of consciousness was small in and around a large building. Flew through spider cobwebs, slalom around roof support beams and stuff. Increased speed almost up to the typical speed in drone racing.



Last night I visited the summerhouse in the dreams. Met with one of my many aunts. She showed me a lot of things that had changed since the last time I was there (1.5 years ago or more - basically worked throughout holidays). There were recurring elements in the dream: pipework in the sauna and a storage building full of burning coal. For some reason, the storage building had to be set on fire. An entity even threw a fireball at it but I don't think it lit up. It was about the time for sunrise and I told aunt I have to leave. She asked: "you'll be back tomorrow, right?" Me: "Uh, probably not. Or perhaps without a body I might. With a body it takes like a whole day to drive here and the same to go back. Would be really nice if I finally learned teleportation though, then I could visit each evening for up to 4 hours." A bit awkward that I didn't realize I was dreaming and in dreams I could visit the place anytime.

Left the place together with an entity (I think). Passed by some sort of a event or festivity, I think. Then some guy in a uniform walked past. There was an acronym on his back, similar to "STIS" or somesuch. Seemed out of place and suspicious, so I wondered what the acronym would mean. "Soviet something something?" The entity: "No, looks like a Mexican." Well, whatever. We arrived at another odd scene. There were a few cameras, microphones and then an actor playing wounded on a blanket next to the road (with a few bandage rolls and other dummy stuff around him). The general atmosphere seemed to indicate that he was playing a civilian war victim or something. Decided to act along and loudly express my thoughts on war: "Why put so much effort in fighting? Better cooperate with space agencies in space exploration projects." We continued walking as I said that. One of the people at the scene stressed/freaked out because of what I said. I could feel that. Then it occurred to me that although I was dreaming, I could have affected something in the physical world.

OBEChain

A lot of daily naps and messy sleep schedule during the weekend. This yielded a lot of sleep paralysis and OBE. Though, none of the events were planned and didn't do much useful while out. Simply found myself around different parts of the body, trying to move the body without success. Eventually bounced back into body and then out again shortly after. Once found myself on my nose (which was huge, compared to the cloud of consciousness. Tried to scratch the nose from there without much of a success.

Due to a messy sleep schedule, most of the time I spent in shallow dream states. Shallow dream states I've often used for healing or plumbing energy channels. So, most of the dreams have been related to that. In one of the dreams I glanced at a mirror image of myself. I was baffled by the haircut. In the physical realm, I have short hair since .. well .. visiting the barber. In the dream somehow I had both long (longer than I've ever had) and short hair simultaneously.

Each time I relaxed and slipped into deeper dream states, I saw a flash of light. Experimented with this for some time, wondering where the light came from.

Finally got raw EEG data from Emotiv headset in linux. A lot of libraries but all of them needed / still need modifications to get them working. This weekend I've also been playing with ArtRage and Unity a bit. Last week I decided to start working on one of the old game ideas. Previously I've always started out with something "simple" and eventually found a lack of motivation to finish the projects. This time I'll go at it different. This game I've been postponing for more than 10 years, considering it too challenging. This is also to blame for the messy sleep schedule =D.

Today morning my eyes were very tired, so I tried an old exercise again. Laid in bed on my back and covered eyes with my palms. Then focused into the distance of pitch black. It had immediate effect on the eyes, but more interestingly there was something about this dark emptiness that was different. I felt as if I was being drawn out of body and into the darkness. It also felt as if there was something there, which I had not noticed before.

Dazewalkin

Left the office for lunch, as I do regularly. Though, this time something was different about it. About when I reached the first security camera, I realized I was moving faster than usual and the feet were barely touching the ground. I was staring at a single point and my mind was in some specific state (semi-blank or something). The moment I realized that something was different, everything became normal again .. I felt the weight of the body against floor surface in my steps again. Also, the sound of walking was back (faint but it's there - ditched shoes about a month ago).

My right shoulder has started to hurt a bit. Warmed a few muscles at the beach while on my way home.

Yesterday on the morning bus I decided to tackle the challenge that my friend Hyena has become to represent for my ego. Played through a scenario from the past, thinking about the consequences that different actions would have had. At first there was an emotional burst of emotions, then there was emptiness. I realized I still respect him as much as I ever have. Decided I was ready to put up with his emotions shot at me. So today it happened. I'm ever inspired by his willpower and his ability to completely transform his personality at any moment.

Absurdity leads the cheers

A strange event. Visited a small store, stuffed the cart and went to the cashier for paying. The cashier was a pretty girl. Lamps flickered (twice, but different lamps). Somehow I managed to insert the card wrong (flipped). Did that twice before I realized it. Face went red and apologized. Then the device simply told me to pull the card out - the transaction had not been successful. Then tried again once more and finally got the payment done. So absurd a situation that it cheered me quite a bit.

While at the cashier, I wasn't focused in the moment. I was thinking about one of the dreams I had last night. So, the dream. Just "walked" around with aunt. Actually didn't walk, but pushed and pulled myself from objects (ground, boulders, walls) so that I was flying for most of the time. Had fun trying to beat aunt in speed. She was walking (abnormally fast), trying to beat me in speed. While at it, we were chatting about something. Although the environment in the dream was very bright and vivid, it was not very persistent. For one, all seasons were present simultaneously. Though, we gradually slipped more towards summer. Then there were small piles of sliced plants near the pastry. Aunt said Kevin had done this .. even in the dream the purpose of the piles was unclear. Those piles were present regardless of the season (also during the winter).

In the next dream, I was somewhere new with someone new (some kind of a friend?). A bar. Helped to clean up the mess that the friend and his friends had left. Also replaced a lamp; dunno why, I was asked to do it. The bar owner did not want to let us go. He said because we had telekinesis and could do things they could not. Shrugged and left anyway .. morning alarm.

Reality missing pieces

Busy times. Not just in real life (IRL), but also in dreams.

Finally got a haircut. Still working on working around the issues in getting everything compiling and getting Emotiv headset to work with OpenVibe.

Other than that, during and after getting a haircut, I felt strange. On my way up to the apartment, there was a peculiar moment while going up the stairs. I stepped but there was nothing under the foot. There was no step where it was supposed to be. Had to explicitly focus on there being a step, after which the step was there. Brushed it off as a minor glitch due to being sleepy or something. In the kitchen I thought I would take a zephyr (there should still be two left, unless sister has eaten them). Gone, they were supposed to be right next to the box of Greek nuts. Thought maybe sister had eaten the last ones, so I took something else that was sweet. Happened to stare at the box of Greek nuts for a few minutes. Suddenly noticed that the two zephyrs were right there, right next to the box .. right where I had looked for them. Very odd. Or even.

In the last dream last night I was at a friend's place, using the shower. After the shower, there was a flood. Each time I opened one tap, some of the others opened too. Took me some time to figure out a strategy to shut all the taps. Then verified if opening one tap still opened the others as well .. yup, repeatable experiment.

Recently I've been moving around with very light clothing and focusing on a thicker field of psi around the body. This has reduced the tension and spot of cold within the chest. Also, this has produced a floaty feeling and waves of heat in the body.

Oh, a couple of nights ago in a half-dream state I saw that a colleague added their car to the carpool. Re-registered on his car, instead. Next morning I was surprised to hear that the colleague had actually added their car to the carpool (thought he was out of town) and a trainee had added their name where in the dream I had typed mine.

There have been a few cases of empathy as well. Started with the cat sleeping next to me, I think. Anyway, recently there have been connections with colleagues and their behaviour towards me has changed.
