Return of Luminosity

Original Source ↗

Have you retrieved your luminosity from the labyrinth and other places?

The luminosity found in labyrinths belongs only to those who were caught there in a Lucid Dream. These are rare cases; Inorganic Beings hunt only for energetically "valuable" prey (examples: C.C., blue scout, etc.). This means that we, as beginners, do not possess special value for them. Usually, they catch people with various tricks to then physically manifest themselves in our world through them. Once, in a Lucid Dream, I was drawn into a labyrinth. [A story is omitted, it might appear later. Perhaps. :)]

As for parts of our luminosity, the Dream Hackers have found five places on the map where one can reclaim something lost (no, it's better to say "something taken from you"). Since such discoveries sharply enhance the awareness of the dreamer in Dreaming and boost their energy (tone, reactions, wisdom) in ordinary life, we decided that this is how a person recovers their luminosity of consciousness.

The first such place – usually – is located in the middle of a large body of water (on an island or underwater in magical grottoes, or on a ship as something that fell from above, or as something brought to you by a fish). In short, it is a beautiful object (a relic, an amulet, a gemstone, etc.).

The sensations in a Lucid Dream are as follows: you are not allowed into this place (guards, scary animals, natives, etc.), you penetrate it, then a culmination occurs when you want to escape rather than retrieve the object. But then the dreamer overcomes their fear and, as a reward, receives a part of their luminosity. And the guards immediately transform into allies.

Three more such places are located at the corners of the map – each person has their own. And one more place is a prison (a giant computer, a concentration camp, a military academy; in short, a place of coercion). To go, retrieve your luminosity there, and leave is a trifling matter. But the trick is that this part of you constantly slips away and returns to the prison. In short, we have not yet found a way to assimilate it. Doc says that this process can be compared to the loss of human form, which, in our case, the image of the prison embodies.

When searching for parts of yourself at the corners of the map (and these corners are formed by certain extreme boundaries of the Tonal), you always experience the same scenario – you are hindered, sometimes very strongly, then you must penetrate the protected place and search it. You are almost always accompanied by allies – two or three loyal Sprites, which represent some averaged templates of your friends. Well, like five of your good comrades, merged into one person.

Yes, I was communicating with Olgierd and wrote him the following: that the main goal in cartography is acceleration. Do you want to reach the Nagual via the northern path? Then do this: go to the northern limit, and from there, consciously move south, leaving markers (Perception Bubbles consciously perceived by you). When you weave them into a long thread (leaving an energetic trace for the subsequent movement of the Assemblage Point), you need to provoke a reverse movement. You sit in a Lucid Dream on a train or simply fly, observing the markers you left in reverse order: Aha! Here's my village! Here's my big house! A lake! A tree with a nest! and so on. Your Assemblage Point rushes along this energetic trace. Its inertia drags you into the Nagual. There you try to fixate (describe) a part of "god-knows-what" (and Dao has no names!), remember your sensations, and somehow return to our everyday world. And so, again and again. It's not for nothing that a Dream Hacker said that the Tonal should be used as a springboard. Well, in our interpretation, as a slingshot for your first attention.

And why did you have the strength to go there and retrieve luminosity, after all, the labyrinth is a very dangerous place?

When you know what needs to be done and that there's no other way, you just go and do it. But besides everything else, practice gives strength, a certain desire to take one more step and see what happens next. It's like alcoholism – the more you drink, the more you want. And that's precisely why, to keep myself from obsession with Lucid Dreams and to develop a particle of impeccability, I propose to other dreamers a new topic (knock on wood, an old Castaneda topic): THE ART OF INTENT.
