Funny, isn’t it, the things that we think are not spiritual? Why is telling jokes not spiritual? Why is something beautiful—a car, a suit—not spiritual? Why is physical excellence not spiritual? Why is sex not spiritual? Religion is simply institutionalized spirituality, passing on its good news to the next generation to do with as they see fit, which will then itself be passed on, and thus unto the ends of time. - taken from #IntegralSpirituality

Of the many dreams I recall having the night of Tues 10 Feb, one was lucid. In this dream, I tried twice to manipulate the scenery and died both times as a result. Died in the dream, that is; I'm not a zombie blogger guys don't panic.

Dreaming fascinates me. I have often wondered whether I was dreaming, joked that I might be dreaming, or concluded without a doubt that I was *not* dreaming, only to wake up. Being truly scientific and open-minded, it is impossible to know if I might some day wake up from what is considered "real life". Or, as I call it, "waking reality".



In addition, I have had one dream experience that leads me to question the nature of reality to this day. Several...
