Science has long held that the liminal state of hypnagogia has been the solution state for creative breakthroughs, where inner guides are easily accessible. It’s an ideal launch pad for lucid dreaming and astral travel.

Come prepared to release heavy energy of the deceased and multi-generational patterns of addiction and dysfunction.
You may find yourself engaged in cultural soul recovery, bringing back knowledge from your wise ancestors.
The deceased may also need help and guidance from you — maybe because they have unfinished business or are unable to detach from old environments and addictions.

Australian Aborigines say that the Big stories are hunting the right people to tell them, like predators stalking in the bush.
The trick is to put yourself in a place where the Big stories can find you. When you’re seized by the Big story, you step beyond limiting definitions and beliefs. Great healing becomes available because you can draw on the immense energy t generated by the sense of serving a larger purpose — and living a mythic life.
