Self transcendence in my opinion is one of the foundations of man’s spiritual and religious practice over the ages. The idea that man’s true nature is spiritual and not material. Somehow, it’s expected of man to choose between serving Self and serving the Divine in his actions with emphasis on the Divine. I think it boils down to knowing your true nature as Spirit and acting accordingly.

To transcend Self, one must know Self.

I don’t know much o, so it’ll be good to see a lama for this one lol

Hello Gustav0, welcome to the thread.
Pls can you give a more detailed description - mode, or method you utilised when flying in your dreams?

Okay. So basically, when I float in these dream states, I usually float upwards as if I’m headed to space. I’m not conscious of flying methods or anything like that. I’ll usually be too scared to start thinking about that lol.

Same here bro.. I I feel isolated too. But here's a tip.(might not work for you tho) Just flow along with everyone even though you know who you are. Just be silent about your thoughts and perspective and blend along. But don't let them reduce your IQ. Avoid discussions or arguments with these guys.

With time you'll find like minded people who share similar Ideology with you. They will help sharpen your mind when you interact with them.

Speaking of meditation, i have done the regular posture and breathing exercises. It gets boring to me too and i feel I'm not doing it well too.

Here's the thing, there's another kind of meditation called deep or dark sighting. In a dark quiet room or space where no one will disturb you....close your eyes tightly (after taking any posture or position that suits you) for some seconds then open them slightly. 30% open 70% closed. (Like squinting your eyes) allow yourself go.. ease your mind
Now try to see lights. If you do this well, you might see things that might scare you but when you remain brave and keep meditating, you'll be in an entire realm.

For this to work faster, try visiting places of nature. Parks, gardens, trees, river, bush, forest, etc and love nature.

A lot of us here have had many inspiring experiences from this kind of meditation. Even out of body experiences. Also you might notice that you start having lucid dreams..

Have you dreamt of flying??

I try my best to flow with people lol. I just literally flow with whatever, sometimes I’m so silent.

Yes, I have dreamt of flying on many occasions and what’s even more fascinating to me is that I’m always aware of myself and the emotions of fear that creep in when I start floating higher and higher, most times I start meditating while I’m flying to strengthen my mind against fear.

I’ll attempt this dark sighting meditation and see what results I get. Thank You.

Okay. On the contrary your life on Earth might be not be easier with brighter lights. Imagine a dog in the midst of cows... It would be lonely and and tough since the cows might view him as mentally deranged (I'm not talking of physical features here).
Better still imagine smart and genius Albert Einstein having to school in an underdeveloped educational system like Nigeria. No proper funding and adequate tools for research and full exploitation of his potential. He'd have to leave to a different environment... But what if there were no popular better alternative? He'd have to reduce and stoop low to the level of the educational system here...

To be more conscious of your lights don't just believe everything you hear. The fact that everyone believes it doesn't make it authentic. It's a journey that requires boldness. Stemming from politics to religion and social norms.

To be conscious of your lights means you understand that you are an eternal and super intelligent being with acess to the vast knowledge of the cosmos. This is where meditation comes in as it's like a key to open up the doors to these stuffs I just mentioned.

Life's deep. Humans generally are weak, mentally and psychologically. And that's why they have to believe and hope for a higher being to do things for them. Like a job promotion, healings and stuff. But we have the power deep down to do most of these things. And you can understand better by meditating and loving nature.

We are scared of the unknown and things we can't explain we leave it to "god" (except some white guys tho). Even at that, using a scenario I explained, the cows might consider some of your innovations and high lwvwl thinking as sorcery and come for you.
Now that's why I said life might not be easier here if you build your lights.

But should you stop chasing your lights? No. Remember we are eternal beings and life here is just a mere fraction of lives you will live after death.

Spiritual science on Earth is very unexplored here. You need to understand that we need to evolve spiritually (build lights) just as you hustle to build your material progress here (wealth).

Look, just start reading from the beginning of this thread... Along the line a lot of your questions will be answered... Don't forget; use your head.. don't just swallow up everything. Some answers can be found deep down within you also..

We have a lot of intelligent folks here excluding sisterfire so relax.. we'll all learn.

It gets lonely around me because I don’t think in the same way as my parents or my siblings or even my friends and I accept that and sometimes I can’t even flow with people and it’s usually tough for me when I’m trying to come up with normal people conversation topics lol.

What kind of meditation are you referring to? I practice the stillness and breathing meditation and for as long as I have been practicing, I still feel I’m not doing it right.

Also, I’ve started reading through the thread and I’m learning new things.

Wisdom.. when you realize that it's not about just good and bad, but wisdom and folly; it'd make more sense to you. Depending on how evolved your mind is tho.

To trascend to a higher plane you might have to die. Not just die, but die after growing your lights here while alive. That way, with bright lights in your soul (you know what I mean by lights), you can trascend to a higher plane... It's wide.



To grow lights you should meditate, love nature, use your head, hate politics and religion especially religion... It dims your light cos you yourself are a God... And why would a god stoop so low, to be a slave in the guise of religion to another being?

You can enter into deeper realms of reality by intense meditation actually.

But don't take my word for it (even though I haven't answered your questions well)... Sisterfire and other guys here will give you better answers... I suck at explaining things

I appreciate your answer and your explanation is great, thank you.
I think I understand when you say wisdom is two sided, participating in duality as with a great number of things.

You talked about the lights present in all of us, how does one become more conscious of their light? Are you saying all we have to do is cultivate our lights and our lives will be better?

I’m hearing this for the first time and somehow it makes sense to me.

Hello, SisterFire I just created an account specifically for your thread. I’m really interested in all you’re saying, some of them are so advanced that I cannot relate.
I want to ask why Earth is so full of pain and sorrow and misery at this time and how can souls transcend this Earth plane into higher states of being.

Many religious groups talk about heaven and dimensions of bliss but they never tell you how to get there and even their priests have no idea of the inner worlds.

How can one enter into these deeper dimensions of reality?

P.S I observe SisterFire has not been active recently so anyone can answer me. Thanks
