We expand into a larger energetic field that connects us at the heart in ordinary human relationships, where life is lived. Tod …

According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

Learning to lucid dream, astral project, or have an out of body experience requires work and practice in the real world. I have personally had many lucid dreams, and have even had an incredible out of body experience. I know others that have seen/predicted the future in their dreams with amazing accuracy and detail. For decades I have read about people with money (grants) performing lucid dream experiments in labs with high tech equipment and often thought how cool it would be to get involv …
