Skygates Of The Mind

Intergenerational trauma and epigenetic research have discovered that trauma is passed between generations. The epigenetic inheritance theory holds that even environmental factors and your diet affects the genes of future generations. It does not matter where you start; it matters where you end up. I had my first conscious dream in 1973. It took over a year of research to find two references what that was; one in Tibetan Book of Bon and the other in Egyptian Book of Dead. Two sentences and that was it. Now you guys have literally hundreds of websites on the subject, dozens of books, thousands of articles, workshops, Dream machine, etc. I feel I can contribute, at least a bit, to this knowledge and expand its horizons. The term lucid dreaming represents a different orientation to the same experience; instead unconsciously dreams are experienced consciously. You know you are dreaming while in a dream world. OBE (out of body) and a Lucid Dream are the same. Just like you can dream you are awake, or have more than one body, so you can dream you OBE-d your physical or your dream body. More important than OBE is knowledge how to exit the Dream World and see what is beyond. Of course; many exercises can be performed during advanced Yogic Dreams. The beauty of it all is that Conscious Dreams and waking reality experiences both go to the same place; your memory. Users and addicts of external DMT, LSD, THC, and many other drugs, substitute fantasies and verbal discussions for concrete work. The fictional idea some guru is going to liberate us by some magic touch is an illusion that serves to satisfy the needs of people to conceal the possibility of escaping from their situation by the force of their own efforts. Instead of the beliefs we need action, action filled with a very strong positive emotion. When we are ready to give up being warriors of the sofa, to convert ourselves into committed practitioners, only then can something happen. What counts is the individual effort each person will make. Books, masters, gurus, schools, workshops, retreats are useful help only when we are ready to perform concrete acts in the vast task of knowledge. One word of caution; at least 95% of so called gurus have failed or are outright con-artists. Here is an example; insight into Ouspensky's mind and Gurdjijeff- Ouspensky "System" given by a friend. (also see my eBook; 'SuperConscious Meditation'; three chapters on the dark side of the coin.) The Case of P. D. Ouspensky by Marie Seton Copyright (c) 1962 Quest, www. Gurdjieff-Bibliography.com "He instructed me to cancel the lecture set for that evening because he wanted to go to dinner at this restaurant which had very good food and wine. I cancelled the lecture and informed as many of the people as possible. Ouspensky then asked me to go out to dinner with him. It was a most excellent dinner, but during it I felt the time had come when I must ask him for an explanation as to how he could consider that this dinner justified the sudden cancellation of a lecture. Where did such action fit into the System, and where also did his violent temper towards some people fit in? The thought went through my mind several times: Is it I who do not understand? Is it I who have lost all sense of proportion? Is it I who am being temperamental in feeling I have a right to seek an explanation and not to take all this for granted as being in order?" When the coffee came, I asked: "Can you, or will you, explain how it is you could cancel a lecture at a few hours' notice for the sake of this dinner? I don't understand. And I am sorry to feel compelled to ask you; but do you lose your temper with people consciously, or because you have lost control of yourself? You do not lose your temper with me in this way."

A thought-provoking and dramatic account two families who hope to start a new life in the boglands of New Jersey only to discover, much too late, that their new living environment was riddled with radiation and toxic waste. Two immigrant families drawn together from wildly different parts of the world, Italy on one side and Barbados on the other, pursued their vision of the American dream by building a summer escape in the boglands of New Jersey, where the rural and industrial collide. They picked gooseberries on hot afternoons and spent lazy days rowing dinghies down creeks. But the gooseberry patch was near a nuclear power plant that released record levels of radiation, and the creeks were invisibly ruined by illegally dumped toxic waste. One by one, family members found their bodies mirroring the compromised landscape of the Barrens: infertile and damaged by inexplicable growths. Soon the area parents were being asked to donate their children's baby teeth to be tested for radiation. Body Toxic is an environmental memoir--merging the personal and familial with the political and environmental, fusing fact with meditation. Intensely intimate and starkly contemporary, it is a story of bravery and resignation, of great hope and great loss. This book presents American families in the midst of the wreckage of the American dream.

Maya San Lucas had been lost in her dreamworld for the better part of five years. But Desparia was no longer a fantasy world for her. It was a nightmare, full of powers and creatures beyond her control. Going to that world took everything from her, destroying her sanity, and bringing her and her friends to certain doom. The life of a thief, and a mage, was so much more exciting than high school, but in all the wrong ways. After returning from that world of horrors, Maya is left with nightmares plaguing both her sleeping and waking life. Demons stalk her from the corner of her eye, or even out in broad daylight. Therapy was doing little to help, though she knew that her therapist was likely to have her committed for telling the truth. The only thing that lent her any solace was the new girl Meg. For some reason, the demons never came when she was with her. But as Maya's powers grew, summoning magic to a world that had none, she got a disheartening look at the world that she had left behind. A new evil has come to the empire, taking the place of the fallen emperor as if nothing had changed. When her friends became more determined than ever to return and carry on the fight, Maya ran from them, seeking the safety of the new girl. But Meg has secrets of her own, mysteries that Maya wasn't quite ready for. And as the two of them grew closer, there were other powers coming into the picture that Maya wasn't expecting.

What is 'Female Leadership'? It's accepting that 'She knows best' in all matters. From the finances to the household to how best to accomplish long-term goals. It's trusting in Her judgement to run things and embracing 'Her way'. This doesn't make the man weak, just the opposite, because men are the best at 'getting things done' when the task is clearly defined but difficult to do. A Female Dominant Household plays to both side's strengths and minimizes weaknesses, leading to Female empowerment, greater satisfaction in the relationship, trust, bonding and yes, mind-blowing sex.Surrender, Submit, Serve Her seeks to help implement your Female Led household through tools like the Command and Conquer meeting (commanding and conquering tasks and roadblocks, not people), laying out the contract of servitude (clearly defining her dominion and removing unnecessary confusion) and crafting your own pledge that personalizes and empowers the act of his submission.Surrender, Submit, Serve Her has been nominated for the BDSM Writers Con 2017 Golden Flogger Awards for BEST BDSM Book of the Year in the Non-fiction category.Updated for 2018! Better formatting and new content.
