>Lucidity

You're having a lucid dream at 11am? It "feels like a vivid day dream" and some may say WTF, but I say kudos. I've practiced a great deal of lucid dreaming and one way to get there easy is a side effect from what's called "shift worker syndrome" where you are forced to sleep mid day, sometimes for shorter than 8 hour periods. I've been sleeping on a 4 hours per day and 4 hours per night sleep cycle for months. It has worked wonders for my dream practice, but I don't think it's ideal for overall physical health. Perhaps this is something best used in conjunction with fasting instead of all the time. I'm working toward that point. Will report back in the future. I digress. I'm also into entry level herbalism and I'd suggest you go to your local pharmacy and buy a supplement called "choline" to add to your mix. Don't get carried away with this all at once and buy some Dream Pill™ from Amazon. Just go buy a simple choline supplement. Even better, you don't need a full dose. Take a pair of scissors or a pill cutter and only take a quarter of the pill about an hour before bed time or before a planned deep meditation. A smaller dosage works better for dreams. This is real advice and I wouldn't tell you if I didn't think it would help you. I truly believe if you do this, you will crank up the volume on your dreams and the vivid nature. A dream journal will help with recall. Reality will blur into your dreams and visa versa. Don't be afraid of it. It's part of the process. I don't know if you swim or not, but letting go of my Earthly body and going astral feels very much to me like letting go of that last uneasy breath in a swimming pool and relaxing your body to float on your back. That's what my astral separation feels like and it might help you to practice this if you have the means to do so. I assure you, it feels so liberating to let go of everything. Floating on my back is one of my favorite things to do in the pool now.

>liver and cats

I think Aumanon might be right with the cleansing angle. Unironically, choline is good for your liver. My 2 cents might be to say that your body or spirits may be trying to tell you that you need to add it to your diet. Cats love liver. You may be deficient of a vitamin or mineral that is found rich in liver. Maybe they want it as a sacrifice. Eat some liver to heal yourself with the nutrients you are currently missing. Eat liver to help with your purification. I'd suggest I tiny portion of the classic liver and onion recipe tossed into a large serving of pasta and mushrooms. Mushrooms are a great vegan alternative to liver for purification. Garlic bread makes a great side for this meal. Soak up yummy juices. Before eating, be sure to say grace, thank God (or deity of your choice) in prayer for your delicious liver meal and ask that it purify and detoxify your mind, body, and spirit. This will suffice for the offering sacrifice ritual aspect.

>shadow people

Ding! Grats! You're talking to spirits. Achievement unlocked. Don't be afraid of them. Those spirits aren't tulpas or NPC's. They very well could be astral beings. Try talking to them. Talk to the dead. You're going to bump into a lot of dead people from your life once you learn to talk to them. I think it's the easiest form of communicating with spirits. If you're lucid and meet an old friend or relative in a dream, you should realize that they are dead, so it must be a dream. The dead, from my experience, don't announce themselves, like "Hey! Look at me! I'm dead!" I've never met any zombies or rotting corpses either. They usually appear to me as I would have recognized them in this world. I don't think they announce themselves because they know that ghosts scare most people. The dead visit me often. I will describe to you how most of my encounters work. Have dream. Go lucid. See grandpa. Interact. "Hi, grandpa!" He replies. "I know that you're dead and this is a dream. Don't go. I want to talk. I love you. How is grandma doing?" I have now turned this dream grandfather of mine into an open channel to communicate with a dead spirit. He tells me that my grandmother is fine. She keeps house like she always did. He says death isn't something to worry about. Grandpa didn't seem overjoyed or in torment either. Grandma acted like it was any other normal day which was weird. Almost like she didn't know she was dead. They seemed in limbo, like they were stuck in their earthly routines. I'm not sure if they know what they're capable of in the astral realm and that's why they're stuck in their rut. I talked to my grandfather again a few nights ago about my heart. I was showing him how I could change my pulse and blood pressure while sleeping. He told me I shouldn't play around with that because I could mess it up. I can't summon the dead though and I wouldn't want to try. I can't talk to grandpa anytime I want. If they're in a dream, they are there. If not, they're not. I also have to have lucidity to open the channel, otherwise it won't occur to me that they're dead or I won't have the free will to go have a conversation with them. Anyways, that's a topic for another thread. It's also common for me to awake with a pulse over 100. Like you, I jump around a lot in my dreams. I've not achieved full flight, but I can jump in a city and land in any other location near it. I can take a run and jump over an entire city and land on the other side of town. I have to know where I'm going though. I can't jump to places I've never been. Anyway, the height of the jump and the feeling of free fall coming back down frightens me and gives me an adrenaline rush. I've learned to control it well enough to know that I'm not going to injure my dream body, but it's still scary. I hate the feeling of free fall.

>I met (G)od.

Lucky you, if so. Take it seriously. I think I may have met Jesus once. I felt very ashamed and apologetic toward him, but he gave me a fatherly type of love and forgiveness. You could really feel the love. There was no anger in him. Just a feeling of understanding and compassion. Felt good to know He wasn't mad at me. It's the same with angels that I have met. They give you a loving nurturing feeling, the way a good master is with their pet. No hostility. Demons like to challenge you and play tricks though. Most human spirits usually seem neutral, but they're bored or confused. That's how I always know the difference in who I'm dealing with. Demons visit me less now because I've learned to challenge them back. If a monster manifests itself in my dream, and I'm lucid, instead of running away in fear, I'll tackle the monster and wrestle with it. The past two succubus visits that I had, I was too aggressive maybe a bit rape-ish with them. I don't think it wanted a dominant partner. It left abruptly. She hasn't been back to visit me for nearly a month. I miss her. :( Maybe Lilith can send me one who enjoys playing the sub role.

>I chose knowledge over satisfaction.

That's the best path of a /fringe/ wizard if you ask me. Good for you. I've always considered "Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?" to be bad prayer or selfish magick. Asking God for anything material is never a good idea, in my opinion. I don't want material things. Keyword being WANT. God knows your needs and they will be provided, not your wants. You can however pray for another to recieve a gift and that's okay, but I have to believe that you need it instead of it being something you want. I want a new car, but I don't need it. There are demons who like to gift wealth though, but I never deal with them. Buyer beware if you ever ask Clauneck for money. That's black magick. I find this interesting that God showed you Jesus, Krishna, and Muhammad. There is so much to learn from all of these religious paths. Even more to learn if you choose to practice their prayer, meditations, rituals, and magick. Satisfaction only serves the desires of right now while knowledge lasts forever. Satisfaction only provides contentment. Knowledge provides skills. Always choose knowledge.

>sex

I'll tell you this because I've summoned and had astral sex with succubi in my times of need. (long story for another thread) Every normie wants to imagine that sex with an astral being or daemon or angel or whatever is going to be like having straight hetero intercourse with a sexy she-devil with rockin hot tits and a perfect bubble butt, in the missionary position, with the lights on and under the covers, but I assure you, this isn't always the case. One of my best sexual encounters was with a being that fully enveloped me in it's aura, almost like a slime girl?! blob, and it was a constant enduring orgasmic euphoric feeling with love and desire for companionship. I could feel her flowing through me like I was drowning in her, in the best way imagineable. I wanted nothing more than to merge with it, but I was brought back to my body. I honestly didn't want to wake up. *sigh* Upon awaking, I realized merging would probably be a bad idea, possible possession? A tulpa? Do I really want a room mate living in my head? Lilith (or one of her sisters) suggested to me that I study tulpamancy, but I failed to do so. I think she wanted me to partition a part of my mind for a demon to reside as a cure for my loneliness, but I'd rather not be possessed. It seemed too risky and it may cause me to be afflicted with Multiple Personality Disorder, or whatever they call it these days, if I went along with her tulpamancy scheme. Since I failed to do her bidding or follow her instruction, they haven't tried speaking to me again since. She wants a proper invitation from me and I won't give it to her, so she has left me alone for now.

>7 Temples

7 levels of Heaven theory. I believe in the leveled Heaven and Hell too. I think of them to be parallel planes of existence. Imagine a String Theory type astral multiverse. Beings like Satan, God (capital G, Yahweh, The Creator), Angels, and maybe a few others are capable of interdimensional astral travel, but not simple spirits like me. Who's to say that after billions of years of practice, I may learn how to do it, but it won't be any time soon. I think this explains all of the Biblical descriptions of hell. Hell isn't one specific place, but a "type" of place, just like "the devil" isn't one specific being, but a "type" of person. "The devil made me do it!" What devil? Satan? Lucifer? Jinn? She-devil succubus give you a blowjob? Awesome! If I was to say, "You're going to the island!" You would ask me, what island?! It could be Hawaii. Noice. It could be Alcatraz. Not noice. The Bible tells us of the bottomless pit, the lake of fire, lost in eternal darkness. A type of hell may be drifting endlessly through the aether and another type splashing around in the lava with Senator John McCain. Likewise, it is said that after the final battle, the end of this universe, "God will create a new heaven and new earth." He will also create a New Jerusalem. Most /christian/s think of New Jerusalem City when they think of going to Heaven. "Walking down those streets of gold, singing songs with my best friend Jesus, living in a mansion, chilling with Angels, in my pearly gated members only community." I don't think many of us will be getting to that idea of Heaven, to Yahweh's Capital City to reside, or the 7th Temple from your dream. Maybe some of the saints if they're lucky. I believe most of us will find our homes in the new heavens and new earth. Again, Heaven and Earth as we believe it to be in this existence is a speficic place, but I ask that you think of it as a type of place. Not Earth as our current blue ball of water orbiting the sun, but earth meaning soil or ground. When God creates a new earth, it doesn't mean that He will recreate a carbon copy of the current planet we reside on. The heavens are the skies above us. The cosmos. Space. A new heaven and earth will be plenty of room for all of us spirits to frolic play around and live happily. New Jerusalem City itself is a specific place though. Like I'd said of the interdimensional astral travel though, unless we have an Angel, Jesus, or God Himself to take us there, most of us will never see that city. Is it possible? Yes. God is able to warp and bend time and space as he sees fit. "That's crazy talk!" In science, you can use gravity to warp and bend time and space. How could it not be possible then? We know that worm holes and black holes exist and have theories of their nature and how they work. Science and other religions haven't shaken my faith, but bolstered it and challenged my mind to imagine greater possibilities. I always smirk at the preacher who says science is a lie or atheists who say, "You literally believe the universe was created in 7 days? 168 hours?" No. The human clock and calendar didn't exist back then. I don't think Yahweh checked his Timex while working on the Milky Way Galaxy. "000.00018 seconds. New best time!" That aside, a single day in Heaven could be trillions of years here on this Earth. For me, once upon a time, Yahweh said, "Let there be light. (BIG BANG) And there was light." A being powerful enough to create the entire universe from nothing with only a few simple words sure is awesome. Mr Atheist also believes that the universe banged into existence from nothingness as well, so we finally agree on something. *tips fedora* The great mystery I'd like to find out is if this is the first time it's happened or am I on my thousandth respawn? God does create a new heaven and new earth at the end of the story. How many times has this story been repeated?
