Troll - /A person who sends duplicitous messages to get angry responses./
For example, posting to a good looking meditator gal on a spiritual
discussion a cartoon of Lord Buddha saying /"Try not to be a cunt."/

And we have different preferences wrt FFL posts. I often enjoy your

Salyavin, you posted a comment with the c word in it and you called
Richard a crude name. How is my reading of those events obscured? And
those were expressions of your /opinion/, not reality. I've expressed
my opinions about Richard before. I recognize that he posts a lot and
repeats a lot. BUT, I don't find the tone of his posts malicious. imo
that's the essence of trollness.
You are funny. He doesn't engage, he has no opinion that he wants to
talk about, he comes here just to piss people off, what else do you
need to know? It's called trolling. Annoying people for your own
amusement. If it makes him happy I'm happy to ignore him.
What I did do yesterday was point out how much he stands out now that
the others have gone. I shall go back to ignoring him and he'll either
leave or die of boredom by the end of the week. Actually, I don't
suppose he will, he wants to piss in the well until no one else wants
to visit this place. Some sort of childish last-man-standing sort of
thing. Good luck to him if that's how he wants to waste his life.
He should join Jim's group and see if he can rediscover his
personality before it's too late. But actually conversing requires
thinking and that takes effort. I doubt he'll bother.

OMG, Richard, what happened to salyavin? He used to sound pretty even
tempered and reasonable. Now he's saying vile stuff to you. And using
the c word! Jeez...
What is it that obscures your view of reality Share? Even if you
randomly read only 1% of Willy's posts you'll know he is a pointless
troll whose only "purpose" here is to annoy people. How mature do you
think that is?
This why he hasn't gone to play on Jim's site, because he's got
nothing to say that isn't deliberately aggravating to someone, so who
would want him? Unless Jim is playing a "the enemy of my enemy is my
friend" game, he isn't going to want 300 dumb and predictable posts
littering the place up every week. So we're stuck with him until
someone starts a "say nothing as many times as you like" site. 10
years he's been doing it. At least!
The longer he stays as the only troll here the stupider he is going to
look, so he's welcome to waste his life nagging at me, it bothers me
not one jot.

Richard, I tried this last night but didn't notice anything

/The technique may not work for just anyone. Apparently MMY
dropped using this technique himself for some reason, but I found
it quite enjoyable.
People usually think thoughts just before going to sleep but
quite often they are just random thinking without any direction.
Until I was taught the "Night Technique" by Satyanand, I used
another technique that I developed myself - you simply think of
something positive to look forward to the next day and then slip
into sleep.
It works too, but not as well. There is something about the
directed sound vibration than is a subtle relaxing feeling with
the bija mantra - Laya Yoga while you sleep./

So last night I had a lucid experience while dreaming (it's
happened a few times before - always involuntary as I've never
bothered to follow the "techniques" recommended by devotees of
this perception). At least I assume it was a lucid-dream
experience - I suppose one could have a normal dream which
included the false thought that one was lucid when in fact one
wasn't (if you can follow that explanation). What's more, I
woke up (for real), mused about the dream for a minute, then
fell asleep again and immediately went back into the same dream
landscape in the same self-conscious, lucid state.
Now I'd heard that when in a lucid dream you can alter the
"dreamscape" to suit yourself. So you might find it amusing to
flip over into being a Zero pilot on a kamikaze mission and
diving into the Golden Dome in Fairfield. Whatever floats your
boat. Anyway, though I was lucidly self-aware that I was indeed
dreaming I couldn't change the story narration unfolding before
me so just left the dream to run its course while absorbing the
novel experience.
My question is: is there some trick to getting the dream to
change to suit your whim or is it a case of practice makes
perfect? Or maybe most lucid dreams are like mine? Or maybe my
will power is feeble compared with my imaginative power and
others have a more dominant will?

Satyanand: //
//
//When you are ready for sleep you just sit up in bed and then
let your bija mantra rest at the heart chakra for a few minutes.
That way, the subtle currents from your Istadevata will permeate
your entire being while you sleep.
For example, my Istadevata is Saraswati, the Goddess of
Learning, so by resting the bija portion of her mantra at the
heart chakra, my intelligence will grow by leaps and bounds,
right while I'm sleeping.
Then, when you awaken in the morning you will feel refreshed and
full of energy and knowledge. It's that simple!/

Anyone had a similar experience?

/Yes. A lucid dream is a dream in which the sleeper is aware
that he or she is dreaming. From what I've read, the phenomenon
of lucid dreaming has been well established by scientific
research, so its existence is well established. /
