Lucid Dreaming “It’s the only way to fly.” Lucid dreaming is the experience of being completely aware within a dream that you are, in fact, in a dream. This realization leads to complete power for the dreamer, allowing him/her to go anywhere and do anything in their dream. You might have had this happen to you once or twice in your life, but chances are the dream didn’t last very long. This is because as soon as people get excited from realizing they have achieved lucidity, they tend to wake up. So how does one avoid this problem, or even have more consistently lucid dreams in the first place? 1) Master Dream Re-Call Before you can lucid dream, you have to be able to remember that dreams that you have so that you can improve your technique. Second, figure out your method for recording your dreams when you do remember them. 2) Carry Over Some Consciousness Pick a night when you are so tired that you will fall asleep as soon as you hit the bed…but don’t. 3) Reality Checks 4) Final Tips
What Are the Essentials of Buddhism? The workings of the mind are examined with great precision in these teachings of the Buddha that originated in India over 2000 years back. However the way to freedom lies not in a scholarly study of these teachings, but instead in practicing meditation and mindfulness. The reality of suffering draws many to Buddha's teachings; the teachings are not about suffering though. Instead they are about ultimate freedom, and the exuberance that this freedom is accessible to all. Strive to be a Buddha, not a Buddhist! Four Noble Truths 1.

by the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance A fresh news item impacting religion. This column is updated more or less weekly: 2014-APR-02: About natural and human-made disasters: Major natural or human-made disasters continue to happen, like the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, mass murders, tsunamis, hurricanes, 9/11, etc. If God is omniscient and omnipresent, then he would know about these disasters long before they happened. Rabbi Kushner has suggested that we drop belief in one of the four attributes of God. - Adopt the Deistic belief: that God created the Earth and the rest of the universe, established its natural laws, started it up, left the scene, and hasn't been heard of or hasn't taken any interest in his creation since. - Adopt Agnosticism (indecision about the existence of God), Atheism (no belief in God) or strong Atheism (active denial of God's existence). - Assume that the Theodicy cannot be resolved at this time, but may be resolved in the future.
Lucid Dreaming/Using Dream stabilization[edit] Once you are able to dream lucidly, you may find that it is difficult to stay in the dream; for example, you may wake instantly or the dream may start “fading” which is characterized by loss or degradation of any of the senses, especially vision. Alternatively, a new lucid dreamer could easily forget that they are in a dream, as a result of the shock of the sensation. Don't worry if you wake immediately after becoming lucid. You can avoid more gradual fadings by stimulating your senses. Ideally you should be able to use the techniques below to stabilize your dream before it starts to fade (or “black out”). If you still can’t stabilize your dream, you may decide to try and wake up with the aim of remembering your dream as accurately as possible while its still fresh in your mind. Hand Touching[edit] Rub your hands together and concentrate on the rubbing. Spinning[edit] You spin around in your dream much as you would if you suddenly want to feel dizzy in real life.
