Week 12

For the past week, I have been consciously remembering my dreams and writing them down. This provided me with a bit of insight into my subconscious mind. I’m not sure if I mentioned this in my last post, but I could go weeks without dreaming during the night. Or at least I did not remember anything. As I’ve been writing them down, I started to remember almost everything. For this reason, I decided to give lucid dreaming a shot. So, the next week I will do my best to have at least 1 lucid dream.

Lucid dreaming is something truly mind-blowing. I remember that when I was a kid, I had a lot more spontaneous lucid dreams than I have now. They often started as a nightmare, but then I became lucid and transformed the dream into something positive. Usually, it was about a monster chasing me and once I realized I was inside a dream, I just flew away or something like that. Lucid dreaming could also be a very useful tool for manifestation, since you can feel emotions within dreams. Typically, you can’t even tell you are dreaming. Until you notice that, and the dream either quickly ends or you become lucid. And that’s basically the only thing you need to learn and practice… being aware of what’s reality and what is not. Haha, what even is real, am I right?

Overcoming procrastination with Dr. K.

Recently, I watched a video by Dr. Alok Kanojia about why it is so difficult to stay consistent. He presented an intriguing way of thinking about daily life. That is, to think you only live today. Tomorrow, somebody else will take the wheel. The core principle is to convince yourself that you will die at the struck of midnight and somebody else will be reborn into your life. It is still you, but a different version of you. A version of you that has to deal with decisions and actions you did today. It is a way to trick yourself into thinking, “Since I live only this one day, how can I improve my life for the next guy that will wake up tomorrow?”.

Week 13

Deleting my Instagram account

I had plenty of reasons for deleting my Instagram account. But the main reason is Instagram Reels. I’m aware that this is me treating the symptom rather than the underlying cause, but I believe this will also help me. The second reason is to start with a clean slate. I was following a lot of degenerate content that was fucking with my head a little. Basically, soft core pornography and a lot of negative stuff that is “happening” in the west. I made a new account that I will only fill with good content this time. No more “red-pill”, no more “based” content, no more west is falling apart fearmongering. I mean, the world is going to shit lately, but I don’t need to be reminded of that every waking hour. We are basically on the verge of world war III, but the media exaggerates things a lot. Not necessarily the war stuff, but everything else in general. It’s the reason I don’t really read the news. Ironically, I’ve been feeding my brain something worse.

Journaling and mediation

Journaling is a remarkable practice. Especially when writing on physical media such as pen and paper, haha. Because the writing takes more time, I actually think more about the thoughts I write down. Sort of a beneficial inefficiency. This week I took my notebook to a local park and pondered about recent events in my life. Usually, I find chirping birds annoying, but this time it was a very pleasant background noise. I was sitting on a bench for about 30 minutes and I would have probably stayed longer, but it started pouring, so I took a bus back home. I have to start doing this more often. Journaling at home is fun, but something about fresh oxygen, sunshine, and being away from modern technology is irreplaceable.

Lucid dreaming update

Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. Actually, I was very close one night, but it just didn’t happen. On the bright side, my imagination, and visualization greatly improved. I can now imagine more complex structures, longer and in more detail. Therefore, I will continue in this mystical endeavor, haha. I had very interesting and personal dreams which I won’t disclose here, but as I said I was very close to becoming lucid. I will keep you guys posted…

Newsletter! Maybe… plus some minor changes.

I optimized my SEO a little more and now my blog is the top result if you google “orions void”. I still need to do some more enhancements, so the article names and link slugs (URL’s) may break! I will add redirect links where possible, but I can’t promise anything.
