I'm bringing this website back as-is, along with my other two magically disappearing websites, at Limberluck.com, minus the dream journals. I'll be gradually sifting through the chapters for things to edit, but for now it's the same old website, minus the dream journals and other personal stuff.

I worked pretty hard on a book called The Appendages of Intent which was supposed to be a journal of me teaching myself volitional unworlding. Some people call that "out-of-body experience" or "wake-initiated-lucid dreaming (WILD)". But as my mama used to say, there's no telling about some people.

The book or journal got so long that I had to start the sequel, entitled The Mind People of Earthville, a project which didn't get very far past the amazing title.

One of my new goals has been to learn how to Do It without a dream journal. While I obviously like to write, one problem with dream journals is that when it becomes a task to grind out pages of description that no one will ever read, there's a tendency to start resenting your choice of preoccupations. Hell's bells, maybe I'd rather watch the news than write down all the things I experienced in the Unworld while my head was drooling on a pillow.

Remembering dreams without a prop is an Intent kinda thing. In fact, it's all an Intent kinda thing. So many unworldings, officially lucid or not, are about what we do with hands, feet, eyes, and ears. In my way of defining lucidity, the more of these appendages of Intent get involved in an unworlding experience, the more lucid the dream. Life is just a long recurring dream, you might call it the Prime Unworlding or something. In life we become preoccupied with making dreams more lucid: longer, more relevant, and more personal. More solid, more 3-dimensional. That's what a lucid dream really is. A big dream is a dream that matters more: is more like matter.

But a Tibetan dream yoga teacher urges us to never cling to any experience. Carlos Castaneda ridicules the notion of a dream journal through the voice of don Juan. My journal was up to 37 volumes thick when I stopped writing and started experiencing.

I don't know about you, but the dream journal technique works so well for me that I don't have time to write them all down. Typing and re-typing for public consumption on my website was a huge burnout. My so-called practice was destroyed by social pressure, not from others--who were more than supportive--but from me. The urge to impress others with my experiences had to be chopped up, digested, and sublimated as the urge to experience. The Magical Mindset still gives me big dreams, but seems to suffer from strangulation by social pressure when I brag about my big dreams to others.

Having a Facebook group was just plain stupid. Thinking in terms of making "progress" in some "practice" was a huge burnout, especially when trying to do it as a public charity. Calling myself a beginner so no one could accuse me of teaching something I could hardly do... wasn't enough. A few months ago someone had to remind me that I had not closed the Facebook group, but rather just left it. I forgot the group even existed. That's how badly I needed a forum for pretending I knew something about unworlding. It was a huge burnout to secretly think of myself as some kind of teacher, even with the pronouncements that I was a beginner.

As I slowly read through these chapters, I still like most of them. I'll delete those I no longer like. This website is not a monument to everything that's ever passed through my mind, god forbid.

I like what Christopher Kelley kept saying in forums. You have your methods and I have mine. They are not going to be the same.

But as impossible or paradoxical as it sounds, I try to generate spontaneity in what I used to call my practice. And in spite of steadfastly refusing to write down even the biggest of dreams, there are certain activities that--for me at least--seem to lead to results.

I've talked about the breathing a lot in this website and on my YouTube channel, and coupled with the practice of paying attention to both everything that's audible and everything my body feels, I am seeing evidence that this might lead into instant hypnagogia and Going to Sleep Right. That thing they klunkily call Wake Back to Bed is pretty much the bee's knees. This worked so well last night--coupled with other notions such as pretending to be slightly bored when I find myself saying, in a dream, "Heck, I must be dreaming..." I'm not bragging... well, yes I am, but only for a moment. But yeah... in spite of no dream journal and a horrific diet, when I lay down and closed my eyes I instantly knew and saw that the darkness behind closed eyelids is not darkness but an infinite pile of images, one on top of the other. The idea is to just see the one on top. I'd love to brag about the amazing lucid dream I had last night, but my focus now is not on teaching or bragging or whatever it is, but on experiencing.

My attitude about progress has changed into this: progress doesn't matter. The purpose of experience is to have experience. Experience is its own reward. I'm chipping away at that pile of dream journals, using the paper to start fires. My belief now, as to why we have a hard time remembering dreams, is that in a dream I am not me. I am someone else. Volitional unworlding then becomes a matter of spontaneously paying attention because it's interesting and because I want to. Instead of forcing myself via the Obsession Technique to "get lucid". In this way I avoid having a bunch of discouraging 2-second-long "lucid dreams" where I realize I'm dreaming and quickly wake myself up by worrying about how to make the dream last longer. The idea now is to have all this progress stuff happen at its own pace. Pushing the river is a huge burnout. The evaluative state of mind is wrong for learning this skill. "Relax no matter what."

In fact my mantra as I lie down has no longer been "I am dreaming" or the like. For a few years now, my mantra has been "I'm going for a walk." And truly, when I just go for a walk in the Unworld, that's when I experience the most amazing things, because it engages the appendages of Intent. Somehow, for me, that's what makes me kinda organically start paying attention.

Professor U. d'Guru, January 2026

How dare I suggest a whole new set of terminology for the age old practice which was once called 'ecstasy', which originally meant being made to stand outside. In fact, the original meaning of 'shaman' was not just any old medicine man or witch, but specifically a practitioner whose mode of operating was to leave this place behind and seek information and healing in other places, with the physical body in a trance.

I'm glad a lot of people are interested in dreaming, lucidity and out-of-body experiences. My first act is to declare that these experiences--along with "real" or physical experiences--are all the same thing. The different terms such as "lucid dream vs. OBE" are occasionally useful because they can help when trying to communicate with someone who assumes the popular current definitions are true and complete, and then builds a house of cards on top of that foundation of sand. Since the techniques for OBE and lucid dreaming are the same, we need a general term for what these techniques accomplish instead of the hopelessly klunky "lucid dream or OBE" which reduces many a discussion to an argument over nomenclature. The fact that results are varied is not an excuse to confuse beginners with the false dichotomy of lucid dream vs. OBE, because no two unworldings are ever the same. We don't need a different term for every altered state; we need to understand how to attain altered states in general and then enjoy whatever results we can get.

People who lack ideas of their own are the first to throw the word "science" around. I don't want to sound too negative, but my role in life has always been to cast things in a different light. People who cloak themselves in assumptions feel threatened by a different light, so they label it a negative light and turn away. Using rigor and consensus as evidence of what's true is a way out for people who are afraid to think for themselves and afraid of believing something that can't be proven. Later I'll show that one should pick and choose beliefs that help him get unworlded, with less emphasis on worrying about some absolute truth that will always be beyond our reach.

Truth is what's useful vs. what's true since nothing can be proven, not really. And what's useful to me might not be useful to you.

When the topic is consciousness and altered states, the constant companion of the word "science" is the word "brain". I can't believe so many people have not caught on to the fact that science doesn't know what a brain might have to do with consciousness. We know a lot about brains and how they trigger body movements and relay information through electrochemical processes, but no one knows how a brain could possibly generate consciousness. There's no evidence that mind or consciousness is dependent on brain functions, so many philosophers of mind and consciousness agree that reality itself is a function of a pre-existing awareness. Just as you cannot teach a blind man to see the color red, no matter how much science you stuff into him, awareness must be more basic than the details of our experience which we interpret and build into events. So I go along with the notion that there's an underlying reality--existence itself--which is equivalent to both infinity and awareness. Awareness, reality, infinity, and existence are not exact synonyms, however they do have something in common. They're all imperfect descriptions of a source or energy or infinity or pure, unlimited, undifferentiated awareness that underlies every possible experience.

It will be obvious to anyone who's stuck on the scientific method that I have leapt miraculously from thought to thought and made up my own mind depending on what I prefer to believe. That's because I owe no obeisance to science. Much of the science of today will be the unquestioned tradition and/or the laughing stock of tomorrow, and this will always be true. But the deeper understandings which simplify instead of complicating our understanding of our worlds have a chance of surviving and a much greater chance of helping someone who's not a scientist and doesn't appreciate the enforced rigor of the scientific method.

Based on my own theory of everything, which I call Synfonemia, the source energy mentioned above, or oneness, is only the first harmonic of reality. The next seven harmonics--twoness through eightness--are the human chakras. They create the world as we know it, the human form. There's nothing sacred about the number seven, it's traditional. I don't study chakras much in the literature because I don't place undue stock in tradition. The point is that as a vibrational system of some kind, an assumption which most scientists, pseudo-scientists, and metaphysicians should agree on, the philosophy of the nature of reality needs harmonics. Every other vibrational system has harmonics, now so do we. The harmonics of awareness are the building blocks of our worlds.

We have to be careful about using the word "reality" as a synonym for the physical world. Reality implies absoluteness, so it's the same thing as infinity or oneness. The other harmonics are increasingly complex thoughts which build upon the notion of oneness and upon each other as a blossoming hierarchy of increasingly complex awarenesses. This hierarchy of elemental notions, or Synfonemia, describes the ideas that build our worlds. Our worlds, not our reality. Reality is what pre-exists our worlds. Reality is just undifferentiated energy, because it cannot be apprehended, comprehended, or described, or else it becomes something else. Something more complex than reality yet less substantial, more apt to be considered an illusion built on a paradox. That something else starts with the second harmonic of existence or twoness. Twoness has many imperfect descriptions also, including separation, duality, identity, definition, limitation, dichotomy, and many others. Twoness is still infinite in scope, so it's just as impossible to define perfectly as the source energy oneness.

The first thing to remember is that reality as an absolute underlies any attempted description of it, so for anyone to claim that the scientific method and the consensus of multiple witnesses defines the ultimate truth about reality is just a religious statement made in blind faith. We need to be reminded that voting on what's factual has no effect on the facts. The keystone of science--being able to repeat experimental results--is the building block of consensus, not the building block of reality. There is no building block of reality itself; it just exists, because it is just existence. Consensus is just dimensionality, physicality, gravity, the joining of separate things together again: threeness. Consensus creates worlds, not reality. Worlds spring from reality, and not the other way around.

When it comes to questions of mortality, life and death, eternity and survival thereunto, we rely on the notion of time in order for the conversation to make sense. Oddly enough, nonsense is then forthcoming. Unworlders are fond of saying that there's no time in the Unworld, but then they turn around and describe an experience they had there as a "past life". I agree that there are other lives that we can live, but this would be a matter of merging with other identities and experiencing their perspectives. Reincarnation is not an invalid assumption, just an unnecessary one. The Occam's Razor of logic should have us questioning the assumption that individuals are born in the past and proceed to the future, yet on some vague spiritual level they never actually die. And this vague spiritual level depends on souls entering and leaving bodies, the klunkiest of vague notions. Time is not a basic on which reality is built, but the other way around. Time is one imperfect description of fourness. Some scientists call it the fourth dimension, but it's not a dimension, because it doesn't measure objects. Dimensionality is threeness.

Fourness is order, hierarchy, value, system, arrangement, time, etc. Time is an ordering of experience but time doesn't give birth to us. Reality gives birth to us, and that "us" or identity or 2ness underlies time which is 4ness. Identity or separateness or distinction of one thing from another is built into any notion of time, but time is not built into identity. As a belief system, reincarnation exists for sociological, religious, and psychological reasons. Same goes for the corollaries of reincarnation, the notion of lives between lives with guided counseling sessions and goal formation and flow charts and possible futures and the idea that individuals and species are evolving into something greater. With infinity underlying all these details, nothing greater awaits us in some future. Time is just one way of experiencing reality. Fourness, like any of the harmonics, can be turned up or down or turned off. The simpler explanation of the incarnations that people experience in unworldings and near death experiences is that we resonate with another identity and merge with them. I'm not talking about New Age resonance or psychobabble resonance. I'm talking about resonance as a vibrational phenomenon. If you play a G-string on a violin in a room full of violins, all the G-strings in the room will vibrate in resonance. The 1000 violins will all be playing the same note, though not loudly. The total amplitude of the note might go up about 30 decibels. That's what happens when we experience a "different" life in an unworlding. It's someone else's life, we're just temporarily resonating with it. Resonance can also be framed as entrapment.

This leads into a key part of my belief system, which is that there's only one soul and it is imperfectly described as pure awareness (also imperfectly described as infinity, reality, existence, energy, God, Tao, Akasha, the Great Spirit, etc.) Souls do not follow some stilted mechanical framework by inhabiting bodies. One soul--oneness itself--experiences itself through many perspectives or identities. Thus we are all reincarnations of everybody. An individual could conceivably resonate with any other individual--especially one that he can vibrate with sympathetically due to their having some commonalities in their configurations--and then come back from the Unworld believing in reincarnation. With our consciousness equivalent to infinity and underlying any notion of time, there's nothing to worry about in regards to whether or not we survive death. Life becomes something like a file that can be opened and closed. Awareness can take a run through any life it wants, rerun a life for kicks, or try variations of a theme. Within infinity there have to be infinite choices or infinity would not exist. If infinity didn't exist, nothing would exist. How do I know? I thought it through and made up my mind over 50 years ago.

The purpose of unworlding, in my view, is to get unstuck from physical life and its obligatory suffering. And the purpose of life, in my view, is to learn how to make a dream last longer. Is long life not our most basic urge? And one key to that skill of endurance in dreaming is to Relax No matter What.

I don't propose enlightenment or living on top of the mountain or perfecting oneself. I propose learning a skill called unworlding so that the individual's life stream of experience becomes an exploration of the unknown instead of a cowering in an earthville which comes more and more to resemble a mental institution as it's overtaken by overpopulation and the greed of those who have clawed their way to the top. My proposition is not to fix this place but to take what we can and leave the rest. To emulate a most indefinable thing: freedom. I believe that humans are here to keep them from bothering people in the Unworld at large. I'll come right out and say it: humans are entities which thrive on rehashed fear, so they are annoying to entities which don't function in that way, and earthville is their home because they belong here. We resonate with the local vibe.

The status quo version of lucid dreaming and out-of-body experience doesn't serve me in my quest, so I'm changing it to unworlding and unworlding is my life. I'm not very good at it yet but I am quite sure that my life hasn't been wasted. I think the philosophy taught in these pages is worth a lot to anyone who shares my interest in the Unworld. Because of the high value of this information, it's totally free so anybody can get access to it.
