Another great edge science post from TAL - thanks for being a reader. A tease: They were then asked to voluntarily “dream” that they were repeatedly clenching first their right fist and then their left one for ten seconds. This enabled the scientists to measure the entry into REM sleep – a phase in which dreams are perceived particularly intensively – with the help of the subject’s electroencephalogram (EEG) and to detect the beginning of a lucid phase. The brain activity measured from this time onwards corresponded with the arranged “dream” involving the fist clenching. A region in the sensorimotor cortex of the brain, which is responsible for the execution of movements, was actually activated during the dream. This is directly comparable with the brain activity that arises when the hand is moved while the person is awake. Even if the lucid dreamer just imagines the hand movement while awake, the sensorimotor cortex reacts in a similar way. Controlled Lucid Dreaming was a vital part of the wisdom of the Carlos Castaneda guru - Don Juan. Scientists Measure Dream CONTENT. ============================

Lujan Matus's words are attracting more attention on the internet than JUST my blog The Heavy Stuff - and here - in this link, he provides an interview on some amazing perception structures that he seems able to activate in some individuals. Here's a tease: Q:
Lujan, after practicing the recapitulation gazing techniques, I'm really aware of the increasing activation of DMT as it is naturally produced in the pineal gland. At this time there is a boom going on in the global entheogenic community, particularly towards the healing & enlightening experiences people are having with ayahuasca and DMT, as a substance introduced to the body from an external source. Techniques that can activate this potential from our own internal source are rare or rarely discussed in these terms. I believe that we have been compromised in our third eye function over a long period of time (whether by natural evolutionary pathways or by interference, I'm not sure) but at this time the evolutionary development seems to be pointing towards enhancing third eye perception by activating our pineal gland potential. This pineal gland potential functioning seems to involve producing and releasing DMT, resulting in our ability to see energy and beyond linear time. Can you talk about this effect of the gazing techniques introduced in your book Awakening the Third Eye and how you came across these techniques? What exactly are they doing for us?
Lujan:
I had an extensive apprenticeship, specifically with two very old shamans. Their primary purpose in the intervention in my life at the age of seven was to awaken my third eye through dimensionalizing my consciousness by introducing me to a dreamscape that was not composed of normal dream awareness but was linked to a multifaceted facility that is connected to the third eye potential. And the above is only the tip of the iceberg. As many of you know, LM is simply the best selling author on my blogs. And while I've only read one of his books - he speaks with great clarity on some very interesting perception issues. http://coyopaheart.blogspot.com/2011/01/interview-with-lujan-matus-on-heart.html ---------------------------------------------- Awakening the Third Eye: Discovering the True Essence of Recapitulation The Art of Stalking Parallel Perception: The Living Tapestry of Lujan Matus The above are books by Lujan. ---------------------------------------------- Now, imagine if you had to HUNT for the next eight hours for your next food - Great TAL mankind link:
Here is a fairly lucid account of lucid dreaming practices from the website of Lujan Matus. One of the things that LM stresses is the idea that there are `perception structures' -- and that shifting awareness, even if in a dreamstate - can open up a new reality: http://lujanmatus.blogspot.com/2011/02/what-is-parallel-perception.html - From the Link: But the most fascinating thing about this quite strange experience for most of us is the feeling of freedom which evades you. Certain authors explain this as freedom granted once you are beyond the laws of physics or the laws of society. Among those who have managed to experience these, some benefited from sublime euphoric love, others from a condition of regeneration, one of infinite plenary emptiness which is full of meaning and love at the same time. It is an inspiring state which allows you to develop your personal abilities. The meaning of identity is more amplified. The greatest value of this awareness which unveils us while sleeping is that it develops a lot our mental lucidity. It is true that this is a ....

As you know, I seek out the good reads for my readers at TAL, how's this for a tease from one of the sites I monitor:
`My thought patterns on specific concepts that the ancients put forth, that in turn have become constructs of our reality, have changed in the last year.
Imagine, knowing your spirit while being physical, knowing what is beyond physical death, being in communion with not only your past, but others past...being in communion with the universe...no disease, no hunger, no violence, no lies, no distrust in the human condition...rather, everything about your spiritual/physical family of beings is pure...nothing missing...the veil is not only gone, it had yet to even come into existence.
Back then, energies began leaving, and the veil was coming. Some began thinking of what exactly that might entail, though they could not imagine it as it truly would become...because the veil...the forgetting...the separation had yet to make mankind fall into tragedy, trauma...fear. Imagine...fear was not even in their reality...they were connected to everything. It was the Golden Age.
As cycles spin round, spiral in form as the universe decrees, the increased energies that birthed their Golden Age - their own version of the Fluff that they resided in - began falling, spinning away from the solar system into mythology, receding into the aether behind.
We spiritual beings called humans were entering the darkness at the same rate that the Fluff fell away, falling away from knowing the universe, falling far from the comfort of God's communion...A new name took hold...The Fallen. And the process of forgetting our souls began...of being separated from the divine, of the eternal fall from being a conscious spiritual knowing being...to being utterly'
