This book might explain it somehow. I'm still reading it but of the part I've covered, it says that interaction within what is so-called dreamscape between two entities (case in point: human) is real as have been shown by their repeated excursions.

Simply put, what you both experienced is as real as what could have possibly happened if you were not sleeping. It's just that you both had the opportunity to generate the same brain waves to be able to speak through a higher channel of communication.

Edit: Oh the downvote. I can't really understand how people can be so close-minded without evidence to the contrary.

I see what you mean because I've experienced it too - walking around my house, where everything was pretty much the same, except for the kitchen which was completely different, or a table that wasn't supposed to be there, etc. It is real, in its own context. One might consider it as being "not real" if you think that things are supposed to be as objective as the physical world is, but that might not be the case (most likely it isn't the case).

One good example of this is Thomas Campbell's research and book (The Monroe Institute) - he has some talks on YouTube about this subject and how he came to study consciousness with Bob Monroe, their experiments, etc.

At first he also thought it was "just in your head", until one day they did an experiment where two humans, in a lab setting but different rooms, without direct physical communication between them, were to "astral project" and meet, then go about experiencing stuff - talking to beings, going places, etc together, then they should come back and record the things they experienced (before talking to each other). Turned out that they did in fact experienced together the same events and their stories matched.

So I think the subject has a lot more to it than just "real" and "not real", or objective vs. subjective.

Thanks! I buy it the first chance I get. I recommend these two. https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-God-Ford/dp/0615149626 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0972509461/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491092254&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=my+big+t.o.e. I came across these two books on my journey. The first is a fairly easy book to read, and I would consider it an introductory to the way I feel things are. Many of you could probably read it in a night or two. It was here that I learned about the double slit experiment. The second book is a larger book written by a scientist, Tom Campbell. It is much more exhaustive. This will take more time to read, but it's also a very good book in my opinion.

If you want to further your understanding of the universe you should read this and this. 2 of the most mind altering books I've read.

u/esadatari · 2 pointsr/todayilearned

I came to the same conclusion, but I am most assuredly not a neuroscientist, just an avid fan of it! I work for a tech hosting company that's heavily cloud based, and happen to be someone who teaches our employees how to manage and troubleshoot the technology behind "the cloud", as well as the servers in the cloud, etc. To teach more efficiently, I eventually stumbled upon brain science books and TED talks (back when they were amazing, like Jeff Hawkins-amazing) and blogs, and tDCS, and learning theory and the list goes on. Somewhere along the line, someone ended up suggesting I try out some mindfulness meditation, and recommended Get Some Headspace, which helped me tremendously.

I eventually got to the point of where you are describing; you really do just observe, and sometimes it can provide great clarity. I then started thinking a lot about who I am, where am I when I am dreaming, or when I am not dreaming, where I am when I'm observing myself and my thoughts, even when I was driving. Someone also really dug me deeper into a mental hole when they showed me some podcast discussing consciousness, which mentioned that when driving your car, your conscious sense of "self" extends to your entire vehicle. So I applied the claim as theory, and tested it, and understood exactly what they were saying at that moment. I had always taken it for granted, lol. So, jump to about 6 months ago.

I, similarly, had already started noting synchronicity between the seperation of brain and mind and the end-result of a cloud-based virtual server operation (groupings of hypervisors, which run vms, are waiting to be used, but the communication/action happens due to what's happening within the hyp, etc). It's ironic, too, because I had just been introduced to the concept of Docker containerization concepts, and then the next day, someone i had just met ended up serendipitously suggesting I read this book after he and I had discussed a lot of the same books we've read. I'm very skeptical when anyone mentions any consciousness theories, so it really only was the reason that he and I had been talking about books like Mindsight, Mindset, A Whole New Mind, Start with Why, Talent Code, and the list goes on; I had deduced this person was not a crackpot. So I said, "I'll just see what this is about." I highly suggest being very skeptical about it, treat it like historical "what if" fiction, and enjoy the theory. There are parts with which I do not agree, but as someone who works in technology and also takes an active interest in learning theory, neuroscience, and AI, it makes A LOT of sense. I used to write stories a lot back in college, so I'm used to taking a fictional "what if" on a stroll down mental lane. I decided to make it to the end and then judge for myself. I'm not finished yet, but I'm in the final stretch. I have to say, I'm intrigued enough to suggest it to others if they show the same awareness. I hope you have the open-enough mind to ponder it and reserve judgement until full grokking/understanding has been achieved.

As for meditation, I practice daily now. I'm very happy I stumbled across the suggestion of de-stressing by mindfulness meditation. It's led to nothing but more reality and context being shaped around me, and it's allowed me to understand myself very well.

Edit: format

u/animistern · 2 pointsr/lawofattraction

My Big TOE weaves everything together in a coherent big-picture framework that eventually makes a whole lot of sense, but you have to be willing to re-examine much of what you think you know. Kindle edition is also available.

u/kojopolis · 2 pointsr/Psychonaut

I don't 'believe' anything that can't be proven

you're prying at irrelevant details

My Big TOE - The Complete Trilogy [Paperback]

read this book, the dude who wrote it is a physicist, and he promotes skepticism


i see your perspective, but i can tell you don't understand mine, which is why i recommended that book, written by someone who actually dedicated their whole life to this shit, so i can totally understand why it is probably difficult to understand people like me

so the problem isn't you not understanding, but me being unable to explain, the book kind of challenges your thoughts and sort of poses questions that can lead you to contemplating this on your own



that's really all i can say, do what you want with your life, but until you've tried to understand don't go attacking everyone lol.

There's a great book series that is like the "ELI5" version of this idea, written by a NASA rocket scientist:

u/SpiritWolfie · 2 pointsr/freedomearth

Wow I LOVE this!! Thanks for posting it.

I've been a fan of Tom Campbell for a few years now and I find his ideas quite compelling. His book trilogy, My Big TOE goes into great detail about these ideas. I've only been able to get through about 1/2 the first book and that was years ago. The ideas were just too "out there" for me at the time. Hmm.....maybe I should try again because it was all quite compelling.

I just finished reading "astral voyages" by Bruce Goldberg and i thought it was really good.

planning on reading this one next. Thomas Campbell worked with Robert Monroe and the Monroe institute and proved astral projection to be real.

Check out the My Big Toe Trilogy. This is a mind exercise that can help remove the, therefore God argument.

He broke his theory into three volumes.

I encourage your skepticism, but you will be served best by an open mind.

DMT: The Spirit Molecule :: describes how DMT spikes are released when we're born and die and the connections the author believes are made once we understand that the pineal gland is the seat of the spirit.

The Archaic Revival: Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFOs, Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History by Terence McKenna :: Discusses origins of mankind and the probable development of higher-consciousness through psilocybin and other entheogens. Also discusses beings in realms that closely resemble the same realms discussed in the book My Big T.O.E. below.

Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind by Graham Hancock :: Discusses how, through different culture's entheogens (natural cultural psychedelics), one can see/visit/communicate with other beings co-evolving with us through history. Just like humans are evolving in this plane, this author believes that the stories of Elves or Fairies are the same beings that have now become Greys/Aliens in today's mythos. He discusses his journeys and experiences as well as other's first-hand accounts on certain entheogens and the patterns seen.

Not In His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief by John Lamb Lash :: discusses how the current Judea-Christian god is a counterfeit-mimic deity (villain of the galaxy basically) and how we're trapped in a false-copy (matrix) of a more perfect realm. Goes through the Gnostic mythos that shows and explains how they came to write/believe such concepts.

My Big T.O.E./Theory Of Everything by Thomas Campbell :: doesn't use psychedelics to achieve other states of consciousness but uses transcendental meditation and science to map non-physical matter realities. The author is one of the early students from the Monroe Institute (of Out-of-Body experience fame).

All planes differ due to your vibration state/level of awareness. I think I personally have only been to the lower planes(Near Earth/Near Time.) Generally everything looks like you would expect but some things are abnormal.

In 2007 I had an experience, felt the vibrations, relaxed, rolled out of my body and drifted straight towards and out the window landing two stories down into the grass(My bedroom was'nt in a multi-story home). To me, the grass was vivid and green. It was dark where my body was but in this reality plane , it was dayish, foggy. I could feel the moisture on the blades of grass touching my hands, I could smell the grass. I looked up, and all the houses around my neighborhood had 20 foot chain link fences around the entirety of the property. I stated to myself "odd.." I took off up into the air, and all of surrounding houses blocks away had the same. At the end of each street there were these large machines, they were operating though made no noise. I went to inspect one but before I got to close i was whisked back to my body.

I concur with danwasinjapan, read Robert Monroe's books. If you want a more scientific look on Astrial travel, etc check out "my Big Toe" by Thomas Campbell. https://www.amazon.com/My-Big-TOE-Complete-Trilogy/dp/0972509461
