Awesome! Thank you for the tip && the welcome .
Feels pretty good to find a community to chat in. I stumbled on to a board a few days ago and got banned =/ but referred here YAY!
Just to avoid a ban here too, if psychoactive drugs are related to an experience am I allowed to speak freely on the matter? I can filter myself I just wanna know how much xD

I was reading your intro and how you went to theory and was thinking o-oh , and then you introduced Bull **** .
all the best to your efforts of getting back to lucidity
it is amazing how effortless lucidity could be when we were younger. We just gotta relearn, and de-program ourselves .
welcome to our site
P.S. I made it so that your tag does not appear on this site, but your profile will have it always. Yuku only allows members to sign in through a site, which gives everyone some tag (if you have a .sorcery tag it will not appear on our sorcery site, but if you go on another yuku site you will see it display there). The only way now to remove it is to become a whatever they call it, upgrading your yuku account (by giving them some money) . In the past when I joined this was not so, thus I am without a tag of a specific site. But, everyone has .something. The ones who have no site tags have a user tag which gives them a .u (so, I am watergaze.u), but thankfully the .u is not displayed anywhere, it is just in the profile's html.
Thank you Much appreciated for the tag hide .
&& RE: Theory -> LOL, I know what you mean, I try to avoid dogmatic spiritual behaviour. I started searching and learning as much as I could when I was 12, which started off with the lucid dreaming and progressed first to Wicca *facepalm* then quickly realizing the amount of Bull **** territory spanned through countless different things. Over all an extremely confusing time in my life but I learned to trust a tingle that goes up my spine any time I read/learn something worth while. I started to ignore anything that didn't move me in that way and follow anything that did, no matter which direction it lead me.
What I meant in the end by "came to understand spiritual theory" is more so the feeling of the elements, a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of the inner mind to the universe, and a stronger grasp on the energies that make me tick. I don't claim to understand anything except for how to make myself feel like fire, air, water and earth in my meditations. I learned to see the world not for what is happening on the surface, but to recognize the patterns around me and trying to connect with those energies as deeply as possible. I guess this is why it has all came back to the lucid/astral world for me now... I've learned the basics that get me through the day, make me feel more stable and complete, but reading on to further claims by any one has seemed like giving Bull **** an embrace.
I like a lot of knowledge that many paths have, especially the most basics of them since they all say the same thing, but I don't much fancy the magician's summonings or the kabbalist's obsession with the one God, or a Wiccan's belief their petty spells are the extent of magic. Shamanism has always been a root for myself as I called it. It came to me right after lucid dreaming and wicca, I guess wicca led me to shamanism in a way that I found something more mystifying and complete. Something that pre-dated Bull ****'s obsession with Truth. I didn't have much to go off of though for a long time and continued to find knowledge anywhere I could.
I'm happy that it took me this long to cycle around, along the way I had a decent obsession with some psychoactives like DMT, which in my honest view has given me some experience in altered states of consciousness. I wouldn't trade those experiences for any gold, they showed me the true depths of myself and a taste of the nagual's power. I feel they've made me more prepared for my up coming journey, mostly by teaching me how to remain stable when completely and utterly helpless and at the mercy of forces far greater than myself. Eventually I have come to the conclusion that no substance is my vehicle to what I want to achieve, and the only gate I should be taking is the first gate of dreaming. Every thing lays there, all of it. Every bit of taste I've ever had, any bit of truth that rang in my spine, it all lays behind that gate and the ones behind it.
As I said in my intro.. I basically took 12 years to loop around the same thing. Tried different things until I came to the conclusion that lucid dreaming was my only viable way. Laughed about it a bit then continued my studies and ironically hit upon reading my first Castaneda book... Which made my spine tingles shoot out the wazoo and the crown back and forth until I felt like a vibratory jack hammer ready to rip the fabric of space and time. I listened to a few of his books on audio, read a couple in text, and read the excepts of just Don Juan's words from the ones I didn't end up reading. The final one was The Art of Dreaming and it all started to make sense. Give or take 6 months later I'm here .
YAY LIFE STORY! xD
