>Some useful tips before posting:
-New readers should post that they're offering readings and what information they require from a querent.
-Look for their posts in the thread to determine what's needed and before posting, check if they finished reading already.
-Some readers will refuse to do certain readings - respect that choice. Also, bullshit queries will get bullshit answers.
-An "air query" can be made to no one in particular, but no one in particular may answer!
-Avoid making the same question over and over and/or to different readers, this may lead to more confusion than clarification
-Please refer to the Dream General threads for dream interpretation

What is the quickest way to achieve a lucid dream?
Stay awake for 2-3 days with stimulants. Lay down after becoming completely exhausted and induce sleep paralysis.
>>18270870
For me, it's lying on my back. I'm not kidding. I need to be on side to achieve restful sleep. If I'm on my back I end up in this sort of half and half twilight.
Keep a dream journal, memorize a time that would be impossible in the real world, such as 14:62, and practice a simple hand motion whenever you wake up. Get proper amount of sleep.
The hand motion and time coincide to help distinguish dream and reality: if your watch really says 14:62 then chances are you're in a dream. There is no quick way, but with practice you can achieve it.

Greatest good luck charms, any lore on luck in General appreciated
look into the John roots. they're a little specific sometimes in what types of luck they attract, though.

I found this coin once, it looked like brass and had a horseshoe imprinted on it, as well as a phrase saying something along the lines of keeping it on you when you go out will give you good luck. i carried it around for a few days. interestingly enough i was quite depressed on those very days an decided to no longer carry it around.
"luck" = chance, and could be equated with the probability distribution of your environment relative to all of those which are possible. "good" is relative. It could be equated with the concept of "dharma" for lack of a better term. Things which bring "good luck" may bring your probability curve more in line with your true dharma.
Know yourself, and understand your dharma, the dharma. Good luck will then have a universal effect of orienting your environment to align with your will.
Fuck, that sounds gay. Sorry, I'm a little drunk.

Are you 12?
It wasn't that scary but very very fun. Like a haunted house attraction. Good film.

What's a scary movie then huh? since you're the expert right?

I've heard from multiple sources that encasing orgonite in resin (with other metals/crystals) magnifies it's properties and I was wondering:
Would encasing multiple crystals in 1 resin case (and keeping that on my bedside table) magnify each of their qualities? (assuming that they are of a good combination)
It might be a nice little DIY project if anyone can give any advice/thoughts on this
>>18269214
this one on your pic is wrong!
metal and epoxy resin must be ~50to50!
>>18269214
Surrounding crystal with plastic does *not* magnify its properties. Keep crystals as they are, don't turn them into paperweights.
ayy. I remember organite threads from years ago and this is the first one ive seen in like 2 years.
Does anyone have that youtube video of a guy swirling an organite pyramid at the sky and the clouds dissipate around it? The video was a total meme, but I thought it was lulzy.
A year ago, I experienced something extremely strange and intense, which I never experienced before or after (I'm 29 years old). It lasted about five days for the peak of the experience.
at the time I became interested in zen buddhism. Read some books about it. I was not praticing meditation much though, but I tried in my everyday life to live my life with spontaneity without encumbering my head with thoughts. I've done this for a month, when life started to feel progressively dreamlike.
And then I woke up someday and started to feel a pressure, some kind of activity on top of my forehead. I feld deeply elated, energetic, liberated. Changes in my body and my "soul" seemed to happen. I felt reborn, all my senses purified.
It seemed I could now see in much more detail, and I could see profound, eternal beauty in everything. Walking in nature was like walking in heaven, or fairyland. Sound was different too, especially music. My emotions were really intense and profound in a way I could not describe in words, it was like a religious experience. Or rather, I felt exactly like when I was a really young child, all those feelings were coming flooding back.
Also I was given multiple insights. These are not philosophical ideas, but things that seemed clearly evident to me even though I could not tell why, and I am not sure today if I how I feel about those things.
- Life is a big joke or a game, there is nothing to be serious about. We are living under some kind of hypnosis. There is nothing to be anxious about. Even if the world collapsed tomorrow it would be alright.
-There is no really such thing as free will. We are part of a big intricate process that is flowing through us. Choice is a kind of illusion. But instead of feeling restrained by that, I felt liberated. I felt like I can just "dance" through life and worry less about making mistakes.
-Death is an illusion. You are indestructible. When you die you come back, just like in a video game when your avatar dies.
-Time is an illusion.
So I was wondering if anyone here has any idea to what happened to me. It seems like enlightment but from what I read about it, it was not supposed to be something so overwhelming, so different from every day experience. I think I will spend my lifetime processing what happened. I tried to speak to people about it, but no one seemed to be interested or dismissed that as a simple episode of delirium.
sounds like a natural euphoria, i had that. after the first experience i caught depression. apparently it's a warning sign.
I'd call that an awakening experience.
Hey /x/ you can help MIT create an AI they're calling the Nightmare Machine.
>A series of algorithms dubbed the Nightmare Machine is an effort to find the root of horror by generating ghoulish faces, and then relying on user feedback to see which approach makes the freakiest images. MIT also used Google’s DeepDream method to create ghastly portraits of famous locations around the world, just in time for Halloween.

my "wall"
jesus christ.
Was just at Walmart and walking through the men's section turn the walk to the next aisle, and BOOM!
A guy with black eyes is right in front of me. Correction only one was black but it was solid fucking black. I only briefly glanced at him and quickly said "sorry" as I moved past him, so honestly couldn't tell it both eyes were. But one was completely solid black. It felt like he was staring at me with both eyes with the one black eye.
As I was walking away he called back to me "Hey do you know where the socks are?"
I didn't dare turn back, totally rude of me I said "back that way!"
I stood in that section for a few minutes and didn't move.
Then I mustered some courage and really wanted to encounter a black eyed person. When I turn around I realize the aisle I ran into him in was the sock aisle.
The socks were right in front of him yet he called back to see if I would look at him and respond.
Fucking scary y'all.
I walked around the men's section and then around areas close by and then the check out and never saw him again. It was like he vanished.
I knew I was going to hear of this. Halloween is coming up and people must be wearing their new contacts.
>>18267741
>>18267741
Dude
You do know that contact lenses exist right?
And its nearly fucking Halloween, right?
People can't seriously be this stupid so you must be a shitposter
stop shitposting
>>18267741
Its common knowledge that all walmarts are portals to the underworld. You encountered a half demon shopping. They cant leave the store so since you made it out alive then you should be ok. It sounds like he tried to mark you though...id suggest shopping at target from now on.
How much more advanced do you think the human race would be if the library of Alexandria had not been burned down and we had not been set back nearly 300 years do you think we may have already found intelligiant life elsewhere maybe we'd have already colonized another planet
we would probably be at about the same level, there have been many more important events in humanities history that have contributed to, or been detrimental to, our education and knowledge
>intelligiant life
Fucks sake humanity ain't that bright in the first place.
Maybe first learn how to live like a proper vegetable, maybe there is a chance then that in a few million years we can call ourselfes "on the way to become intelligent".
Not like that though. Nope sir
>>18267597
This library held something like a half a million scrolls that we're lost in the fire definitely some of them weren't the only ones of a scroll to exist but still that is a huge amount of knowledge to be lost in a single night
let's discuss reality.
for instance, what makes a reality not a simulation.
I would say that a simulation is any encompassing reality (that contains the simulated reality) and that is not usually perceptible by the forms of consciousness of the simulated reality.
It does bring the topic of ultimate reality : a reality that you cannot go beyond.
it may exist (multiverse ?) (pure consciousness itself ?)
or not (fractal multiverse).... that's basic launching topics...
Reality does not exist.
>>18266867
Existence is reality.
>>18266869
OP
A theravada Buddhist would say they are four.
Now how you create sets based on these realities, i would say ?

Hello guys, I have looked high and low on google and have had no luck. Has anyone been able to track down a torrent that includes all the art bell midnight in the desert shows before he quit for the 50th time? I can find a bunch of individual show torrents but its a huge pain in the ass. Any help would be appreciated...
Bump for curiosity. Also - how do I get into Art Bell and Coast to Coast? Where do I start? Best episodes?
it depends which topics you are interested in - there were tons of epic calls and guests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee3bld4lTG0
