Ahh, hypnagogia - bloody love it! It must be over 30 years since I first heard about Salvador Dali's practice of hanging on to – was it some keys, or some coins? – and drifting off in a chair while holding them over a metal tray, so that the coin drop would awake him as soon as he slept. And, when I heard it, I determined to try it myself. Over 30 years, and I still haven't managed to manoeuvre some keys, a chair, a metal tray and the will to doze into the same spot of space-and-time. Perhaps I'll do it now? Or mañana...

Poetry tips are very welcome. Dunno whether you saw, but I managed to break my block at 2:25am the night before last. Hypnogogia! https://www.instagram.com/p/DDYmKGAtiAG/

Who's there?

A bee!

Very enjoyable.

I would offer that if one considers that our Essence (Soul) creates thousands of focuses of attention, in our terms past, present and future lives, of which our present lives are one, and all of these focuses communicate with each other, that goes a long ways toward explaining how we access seemingly disparate communications from other sources than our own minds.

That's an idea that feels true. And very Philkdickean.

Thank you.

And the real kicker is that, even though from our perspective these lives would be considered past, concurrent, and future, they all occur at once in what some have termed to be the spacious present. This is why these communications seem so fresh and vital.

Everything occurs now. We exchange information with our other focuses in this spacious present.

Because of our position in this physical reality in which time is a factor, our brains are in charge of placing events in an order which makes sense to our current perspective.

But outside of this physical reality, in non-physical and other-dimensional realms, time can take on a very different cadence. That is, if it is expressed at all.

Believing in time was such an evolutionary wrong move.

I would say it was quite ingenious. Those of us who developed it for implementation knew that it would complete the illusion in a way nothing else could.
