The will to thrill

Greetings to all visiting this posting, ah!, [queue the music] spring is in the air, the blossoms, the birds are singing,[record scratch] wait a minute! I'm a guy!, let me re-phrase, oh yeah! spring, positive changes, workin' out, blastin' tunes, havin' fun, livin' in my vortex, that's more like it! When in my early twenties I used to love to go to the amusement parks, places like Magic Mountain, [six flags] Marriots Great America, [Santa Clara, Calif.] and in my much younger years Knots berry farm in Anaheim California, I even got to experience Disney World in Orlando Florida early summer 1987. These days amusement parks no longer amuse me, not that there's anything wrong with visiting them, they're great for the kids, but I'm 51 years old, and I've used up my amused! Some of the things I've lost interest with in my life are slowly being replaced with new interests, what I would seek outside of myself for thrills and excitement in the past I'm now getting the same going inward, of course this doesn't happen every day, life can have it's many distractions, but the ride can be just as good inside as it is outside, even better. To illustrate this the best way I can, it has much to do with our imagination and it's ability to create our reality, how using creative visualization can feel so real that you are already experiencing your new reality. It doesn't stop there, those who practice and master creative visualization know well the side effects of the practice, lucid dreaming, and from my own experience I've had lucid dreams where I could hover above ground and even fly! This has happened more than once, some would even say this is a classic out of body experience, but during deep sleep, not the near death experience we hear of, this is more to do with awakening or even ascension, but I'm no expert on this topic, I've just experienced it personally. If we're lucid dreaming and having the ability to hover or fly, and literally controlling our movements as well as being aware of what we're dreaming, could it mean we are experiencing our higher selves? I don't know for sure, but I DO know that this was better than any ride I've ever taken at any amusement park, one dream I had was very unique, nearly a year ago, it was almost pitch black, like a fluid, underwater feeling, when something took hold of me, and sent me swooping up, down, and sideways, it was like flying, but more like a humming bird maneuvers, or having a jet pack, yet the whole time I felt something holding on to me, and it felt calm and peaceful, not at all frightening, there was this total trusting, helping me to accomplish such feats beyond conscious awakened physical ability. This has only happened once, and not since then have I experienced this kind of consciously aware dream of what could possibly be, witnessing the realm of the higher self. It is hard to understand some things, or why they happen, and just maybe they're better left a mystery, it is possible experiencing them is good enough without questioning them, a gift is given, we should never question whether we deserve it or not, but accept it whole heartedly, in the physical or non-physical, keep arms and feet at all times inside the cart please!
