i have been in search of a perfect brain chemistry that can be achieved, this is my theory. i believe that people smoke drink or even do that things they do without themselves even knowing this, its pretty amazing. the answer is the brain. the brain wants you to feed it chemicals the turn to neurotransmitter,
for your knowledge the future of humanbeing will be only the study of these chemicals, i can say that
consciousness can be altered, now knowing this dont you think that conciousness can be alter to higherlevels, even higher levels the will bring knowledge, wisdom, total focus or even understanding of life. i tell that if you learn more about right combinations of chemicals for your brain, you wont be wasting your time.
what is intellinge , i will tell you intelligence is how much you know, intelligence is only a state of mind
that youre able to process information, and undertand it. all this is base on your neurotransmittere present on your brain.
let me get you down to the basiscs.
Lucid dreaming. what is lucid dreaming?. lucid dreaming is when you know youre dreaming and you awareness is present within that dream. you can do what ever you wish when you lucid dream.
also lucid dreaming is healthy for the brain , since the brain goes on REM(rapid eye movement)
at this state the brain frenquency is very rapid. when you are in REM the brain makes new synapsis,
and it strenghtens your fresh connections. you can say the brain is defragmenting itself, like a computer does.
Herbs for lucid dreaming
there is a plant called RED SPIDER LILLY, this plant is very amazing.
it works as an acetylcholinestererase inhibitor(achei) Galantamine is what all this is about.
the plant blocks premature aged -related breakdown of the natural neurotransmitter acetylcholine
if you take galantamine you will lucid dream less than two weeks, but you will become cracy lucid in the first night. every night the lucidity will increase enought until you know that its only a dream, and bingo
Lucid dreaming.

I'm assuming that you "do" red spider lily, then? If so, can you tell me if once you "learn" to experience lucid dreams via the plant, could you do so again later without requiring the plant?

mm another possibility is to build or buy the lucid dream glasses, they wait until you are in sleep and then wake you up just enough to experience lucid dream by having lights flash at a certain frequency

Galantamine (the active compound in the red spider lily plant) is found in many sources daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus L.) and snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis). There is little if any difference between the sources of Galantamine (as cool as red spider lily sounds).
Example www.brillant dreams.com the main company selling "red spider lily" sourced Galantamine: Galantamine 4 mg 60 capsules $34.95
Other Sources:
Unique Nutrition: Galantamine 8 mg 90 servings $49.99, Smart Nutriton: Galantamine 8 mg 30 capsules $23.95, etc.
Raising ACh levels in many cases effect Lucid Dreaming quite strongly. Perhaps the most cost effective way to do this is with the AChE inhibitor L-Huperzine A (Huperzia serrata), rather than Galantamine. But since everyone reactions differently to compounds that effect neurochemistry trial and error is the best way to find out.

Entheos literally means "god (theos) within", more freely translated "inspired". The Greeks used it as a term of praise for poets and other artists. Genesthai means "to cause to be" or becoming. So an entheogen is "that which causes God (or godly inspiration) to be within a person".
In its strictest sense the term refers to a psychoactive substance (most often some plant matter with hallucinogenic effects) that occasions enlightening spiritual or mystical experience, within the parameters of a cult, in the original non-pejorative sense of cultus. In a broader sense, the word "entheogen" refers to artificial as well as natural substances that induce alterations of consciousness similar to those documented for ritual ingestion of traditional shamanic inebriants, even if it is used in a secular context.

I can say Rene Descartes prove you wrong.
Rene Descartes: 'I think therefore I am'
I HAD long since remarked that in matters of conduct it is necessary sometimes to follow opinions known to be uncertain, as if they were not subject to doubt; but, because now I was desirous to devote myself to the search after truth, I considered that I must do just the contrary, and reject as absolutely false every-thing concerning which I could imagine the least doubt to exist.
Thus, because our senses sometimes deceive us, I would suppose that nothing is such as they make us to imagine it; and because I was as likely to err as another in reasoning, I rejected as false all the reasons which I had formerly accepted as demonstrative; and finally, considering that all the thoughts we have when awake can come to us also when we sleep without any of them being true, I resolved to feign that everything which had ever entered my mind was no more truth than the illusion of my dreams.
But I observed that, while I was thus resolved to feign that everything was false, I who thought must of necessity be somewhat; and remarking this truth--I think, therefore I am--was so firm and so assured that all the most extravagant suppositions of the sceptics were unable to shake it, I judged that I could unhesitatingly accept it as the first principle of the philosophy I was seeking. I could feign that there was no world, I could not feign that I did not exist. And I judged that I might take it as a general rule that the things which we conceive very clearly and very distinctly are all true, and that the only difficulty lies in the way of discerning which those things are that we conceive distinctly.
After this, reflecting upon the fact that I doubted, and that consequently my being was not quite perfected (for I saw that to know is a greater perfection than to doubt), I bethought me to inquire whence I had learnt to think of something more perfect than myself; and it was clear to me that this must come from some nature which was in fact more perfect. For other things I could regard as dependencies of my nature if they were real, and if they were not real they might proceed from nothing--that is to say, they might exist in me by way of defect.
But it could not be the same with the idea of a being more perfect than my own; for to derive it from nothing was manifestly impossible; and because it is no less repugnant that the more perfect should follow and depend upon the less perfect than that something should come forth out of nothing. I could not derive it from myself.
It remained, then, to conclude that it was put into me by a nature truly more perfect than was I and possessing in itself all the perfections of what I could form an idea--in a word, by God. To which I added that, since I knew some perfections which I did not possess, I was not the only being who existed, but that there must of necessity be some other being, more perfect, on whom I depended, and from whom I had acquired all that I possessed; for if I had existed alone and independent of all other, so that I had of myself all this little whereby I participated in the Perfect Being, I should have been able to have in myself all those other qualities which I knew myself to lack, and so to be infinite, eternal, immutable, omniscient, almighty--in fine, to possess all the perfections which I could observe in God.

First of all you havent disproved anything, "I think, therefore I am" only further proves my point. Reality is subjective to the individual, this is left to the individual whether they wish to create their own reality or be subjected to someone elses. I think therefore I am only proves that you need to only change your perception to create, change or destroy, it is quite a simple concept really.
It has already been established a while ago that for "nothing" to exist is impossible for us to know. Why? because even the word nothing has existance, even black exists, it is the contrast to white and simply even thinking about nothing gives it a form of existance, so yes you clearly do exist in one form or another.

One good definition of 'real' is:-
Being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory, ie.,
"real objects"; "real people; not ghosts"; "a film based on real life"; "a real illness"; "real humility"; "Life is real! Life is earnest!"
_________________________________________________________________________________________
All our thoughts are real! They do occur!
But, we need to decide if they represent or mimic the reality of the World in we live.
We each create 'models' of 'reality' and should continually test them, and modify them based on what we read and hear, compare our thoughts to those of others etc., before we accept any thought or concept as representative of the real world.
All events we witness are real, but our perception of them may be flawed (I exclude hallucinations).

All of anyones thoughts really do occur (in that person), whether that person is drug free or on hallucinogens.
The important point we should be considering is whether those thoughts reflect what goes on in the real external world.

there is a plant called RED SPIDER LILLY, this plant is very amazing.
it works as an acetylcholinestererase inhibitor(achei) Galantamine is what all this is about.
I heard about galantamine aiding in dream recognition so i bought pills that also had choline from dreamamins . com. I read on a post somewhere about people experimenting with galantamine, and one guy said he had the best results when he woke up about 4 or 5am and took one. I stayed home from work one day and decided a mid-day nap would be great testing grounds. I took one pill a half hour before laying down.
It worked extremely well, almost frighiteningly. I had about a half dozen dreams, half of which were lucid and the other half non-lucid, but all were very very vivid. Also, the lucid dreams were very lucid, where i was very aware that I was indeed dreaming and had much control.
The only negative point I'd like to touch on was that for the first time in my life, I found it difficult to leave the dreams and wake up. I'd open my eyes but only for a second, then fall back into the dream. this happened a few times and when i finally awoke, i was a bit rattled that I couldn't get out of the dream faster.
Other than that, great dream-aid. However, with all other chemicals, I wouldn't take it more than once or twice a week in fear of becoming tolerant of the drug.

Ok firstly, Peyote does not contain DMT, it contains mescaline which is equally relevant but I just thought I'd bring it up to see if you even knew about his distinction or if it was a typo.
Secondly you seem to be pushing a lucid dreaming technique on to help forward our consciousness, which is admirable, but it seems you actually forgot the curriculum for all us lucid dreamers. What exactly do you propose the dream state to help us to do?
I suspect the lucid dreaming state can only be used to help analyse your own problems although I have read about people practising on their musical instruments in their lucid dreams and becoming better in reality.
Also this notion of dreams being more real than reality - I cant seem to justify this at all. When I have no awareness in a dream, the only impression i get is of different imagery whizzing by at different speeds and accompanied by extreme emotions, which kind of makes sense since what your really dealing with is thought-forms not consciously created worlds. When I am more aware it does seem more like a 3D space I can move around in, but barely. When I'm lucid its the same but I can guide and create scenes, but my dreams all seem silent and the speech doesnt come out of characters mouths but just appears in my head like a fact.
The most frightening and enlightening experience I've had was whilst under extreme inebriation from cocktail of various drugs in my youth... We were standing in the kitchen and a friend was talking to this girl, a girl he had argued with before. He was explaining the Derbyshire phrase "duck" but what I saw was a screaming fight with the f word and spit flying, raging at each others throats. After they split up and she moved to the sitting room I told my friend it was out of order acting like that... he didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I explained what I had saw to both of them individually and neither had any recollection of what I'd seen. That is THE most definitive proof I can give for a true hallucination, I've seen distortions and patterns but never like that.
So as you can see I've experienced both sides of the coin and am yet to understand lucid dreams that feel "real".

Descartes never said "I think therefore i am",
He said "i am a thinking thing" and later on concluded that he has to exist due to a few arguments he presents.

maximus, your vast knowledge of nlp and the like not only provided you with knowledge but extreme bias towards their ideas.. think about it. I suggest develop more skepticism.
The reason people get sick in the winter is because of heat changes which lower your immune system.

It is also well known that viruses thrive in colder temperatures, plus people spend more time in-doors, which facilitates the transmission of air-borne pathogens.
