Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Lucid Dreams How To Be Successful

By Sheila Kavanagh

Lucid dreaming is all about passing on to the realms of dreams with a completely wakeful and focused mind. That is, the dreamer is aware of the fact that he is in the dreamworld. Hence, it can be said that in case of lucid dreams, how to bring it about, what to do and how to do it are some things that the world is highly interested in, in recent days.

Firstly, in case of Lucid Dreams, how to bring about the lucidity or induce the required mental state is the primary question. Always remember that your main objective is to let your body sleep while keeping your mind conscious and wakeful during your journey from the realm of consciousness to the dreams.

In bringing about lucid dreaming, the three main weapons in you hand are those of proper preparation, relaxation and meditation. Starting with the first point of preparation, wear loose and comfortable clothing and lie down in a calm and quiet room. Banish all negative thoughts from your mind and also remember not to have any food item that generates heat and increases the number of thoughts in an individual's mind.

For lucid dreams, how to relax every part of your body is a difficult task which one needs to master. The best way about this would be to tense every muscle in your body at first and thereafter concentrate on each part and relax them. Moreover, do basic meditation practices so as to rest your body, calm your mind but keep it focused enough to enter a state of deep trance.

Secondly, in case of lucid dreams, how to maintain the lucidity after it has been achieved is the third and perhaps the most important question. Many a times, as a beginner you will find the dream settings to be fading away, or yourself loosing grip on the lucidity, or it may also happen that you force to change something in your dream but it wakes you up. For avoiding all such perils, two of the best methods are those of dream spinning and verbal commands.

Dream spinning refers to standing in a spot and spinning like a kid, and can be used as an effective tool in bringing clarity in fading away scenes or bringing about the changed dream setting that you have been putting so much effort in achieving for so long. Moreover, you can also constantly go on saying to yourself or giving verbal commands regarding what you want to accomplish which also effectively stops loosing control and maintaining the desired lucidity.

Moreover, talking about lucid dreams, how to overcome nightmares is also a frequently asked question. It must be said that the very knowledge that it is only a dream works wonders for the nightmare issue. Moreover, say that there's this monstrous beast which frequently attacks you in your dreams, try to stay calm and administer dream control by constantly saying to yourself that "this time the beast will be friendly to me" and you will be amazed at how effectively nightmares can be overcome in lucid dreaming.

It can be concluded that lucid dreams are an experiences of a lifetime where most of the 'pre lucid dreams how to' questions are answered by meditation while 'during lucid dreams how to' questions are answered by effective dream spinning and verbal affirmations.
