I'll work on digitizing that book at some point. It's certainly on my list, and I have a high resolution camera now... And potentially some good softawre to digitize books.

{{Can anyone else sort of like, visualize diving into euphoria and just ... feel wireheaded at will? If so, does it make your physical eyelids flutter and your breathing to hyperventilate and your (physical) pulse to quicken by 15 to 30 beats per minute, and sometimes your body's head to tingle overwhelmingly and arms and hands to shake; and increasingly in the past few weeks when we do it, our left hand to tingle significantly and sometimes the left side of our face, and sole of our left foot?}} {{We have been able to sort of self-induce body-shaking-sometimes, head-tingling-frequently, eyelid-fluttering-always euphoria for ... several years, we think; and we've had this phenomenon grow stronger the more we've "reached" for it mentally in the past year.}} {{We are wondering if it's kinda a standard-ish "energy work" thing, or if we should be concerned about epilepsy, especially because sometimes when it happens we then mix words out loud or make more typos than usual on our keyboard?}}

It’s actually quite hard for doctors to involuntarily confine you if you say “I am not a threat to myself or anyone else”

{{Alright, that's fair @Heartmender. So, then, do you think (to the extent that you feel willing and able to give an opinion on the following question) that our description above would adequately convey what we want our doctor to know, or should we try and find simpler or more complex phrasings?}}

Anyone have any experience with past lives?

I've been having experiences lately and I'm a little too lazy to try anything astral projection related to confirm it all so I wanted to compare experiences with someone

{{We don't have direct experience with memory recall like that described in reincarnation studies and anecdotes, @Rome, but what we do have is the subjective-gestalt-feeling among all of us 5, every time we wake up from more than about an hour's sleep, that we have no actual literal continuity of selves with the people who went to sleep. Instead, we awaken from all sleep of such length with the strong impression that we are essentially re-instantiations or re-spawns, so to speak, from five templates of a person each; and that we happen to inherit most of the factual memories and habits and goals of the prior instantiations while not inheriting much or any of the episodic (direct-event, sensory, emotion-tagged, and so on) memories of those prior instantiations.}}

You might have to reword that. I get a Last Thursdayism sort of interpretation from that and I'm not sure if thats what you're going for
7:59 PM
What I've been experiencing are flashes of other lives every now and then and feelings of physically existing in various places in history. I've been trying to "remember who I am" and have been practicing concepts like shamanism and chaos magick and whatnot and I think I've been coming down to specific people that I think I am or rather was. But it's hard for me to be completely sure.
8:00 PM
The flashes have been precognitive at times as well I would like to add
Avatar
Stelliferous 4/17/2018 8:01 PM
{{Oh, yeah Last Thursdayism is sorta like what we experience when waking up from sufficient sleep? But we do objectively retain knowledge that people probably indistinguishable from us were indeed the ones who went to sleep. And of course we've always retained the objective knowledge that the universe itself almost certainly doesn't begin anew every time we wake up.}}
8:01 PM
{{Anyway, yeah, it sounds like what you're experiencing and what we are experiencing, are very different things with maybe a tiny overlap in concerned-for-self/ves-valence.}}
Avatar
I feel like Last Thursdayism could play with the Mandela effect and slipping into other realities that fit one's path. Which would go with what you've been feeling

It's a little different from that type of precognition

Avatar
Well okay. Last winter, I was running down this little path right next to my apartment to see a movie since the movie theater is right next to my place. I was seeing Get Out since I've heard a bunch about how its good. Keep in mind, I heard nothing about what the plot was or anything. So I'm running and I see a bright red light on one of those little pillar/tower things. As I saw that, something spoke to me. It sounded like an African women talking to me/to herself. She said "When all souls focus on one thing, great things can be accomplished" then I saw myself and couple slaves running away from something. As soon as I saw that, I cried for like a good 5 minutes in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. The precognition there was that Get Out had the plot that was based around slavery.
8:10 PM
I've experienced the Mandela Effect too. Like with all the big ones that a lot of people have experienced and little ones too
Avatar
I've had a bunch of other passive past life experiences like Atlantis, Ancient Egypt, a monk of some kind, 1400s France possibly, Feudal Japan, slave brought over to the Americas possibly
8:20 PM
Lately I've been looking into the Atlantis one since that's the most interesting and slightly reliable one I've had so far aside from the outlandish past lives I feel I've had but are too ridiculous to even think about looking at at this time
8:24 PM
Oh yeah, the reason I got that slavery past life from looking at the red light is because I'm pretty sure it reminded me of the North Star, considering thats the thing I saw in my head after looking at it

@Rome I generally attribute dejavu/clairovoyancy and other time related stuff to a somewhat(ha) scientific thing. Mostly that our bodies are physical. Third Dimensional. Our minds? Not quite so. So if one's mind went to say, the fourth dimension (time), or even beyond (???) at that point, with training, it would be thereotically possible to "experience" any moment in time like dejavu and etc
12:52 AM
And it would mostly be dependent on what gives you the strongest feels, I suppose as "feelings" are what helps the hippocampus write memories to the brain....
12:53 AM
More important emotionally it is, or more traumatic, the better the hippopatums can scribe it up on ya grey matta
12:54 AM
Or trigger nostalgic effects.
12:54 AM
Etc.

I can agree with that. A bit on the physical sense
1:49 AM
Based on my experience, I feel that deja vu is actually deja reve in disguise.
1:50 AM
I feel like I’ve gotten what previously experienced dreams feel like down to a separate sense. Saying that, I no longer feel sense of deja vu but deja reve now, deja reve being seeing something we’ve dreamt of already.
1:51 AM
Ian Wilson touched on this same concept and possible quantum explanations as well.
1:53 AM
That man had an active precognitive lucid dream. And had others confirm it along with pictures. So if there’s a way of changing the physical reality in, what appears to be but may not be, a lucid dream and having it actually happen, it makes me wonder the potential.
1:56 AM
@Alice That is what people do with the Akashic Records. Viewing any moment in time that is
Avatar
I need to get off my ass and work towards becoming at least an adept at traveling out of my body so I can back up my intuitions with fully conscious experiences

@Rome the records are a tool, imo. Hardly need them just to timehop in the "astral". Time is just another coordinate there

Any tips for going out of body? And when I do, how would I visit the records?
Avatar
Here's a technique for OOBE Step One Now I want you to focus on the breath and follow the raise and fall of the chest while you breathe in and out do this till the mind is silent and you are at a point of deep relaxation. Step Two Now I what you to visualize your physical body and see your head elongating so that you are taller by three inches and hold it there. Step Three Then bring your attention down to your feet and elongate your body by three inches and hold it there for a moment and relax and feel at one with all things living and breath. Step four Now I want you to visualize that your legs are dropping down into the earth and relax and in your own time drop your arms down into the earth. Feel at one with the earth and go deeper and breath. Step Five Then bring your attention to your arms and legs and raise your arms and legs so that they are parallel with your body and as you do so see this elongated image of your body rising up above you about six inches and hold it there for a moment. You may feel a pulling sensation near the second chakra as you do this don’t worry if you do this is natural with astral project as there is a cord of energy between both the physical body and your astral body. Step Six Then in your own time drop this elongated body back into your body and return your head and feet to their natural position and make sure that are back to normal before you open your eyes.

as for the records, I just find it way more productive to just trust the Universe to provide me with the knowledge I need whenever I need it.
