Where can I find the last recording of the lucidity induction group?
Doubt these are the correct ones but they are the latest available. Alyssa is away for a bit (I think a week). It will probably be shared when she gets back:
video # 5
I also had a lot of trouble finding these vids on the home page, the only place I could find them are here in the forums.
Not sure if there is a link to them on the homepage.
Here’s a link to find them on the main page!

I read through the lucidity induction group transcript posted above, and there were a couple things that caught my eye: the first was the classification of MILD as a subtype of WILD, which I’ve never heard before, sort of surprising and unusual, but an interesting take.
The other was a question on illusory form from an attendee, who was asking how to maintain that “sense of wonder” in illusory form when facing the same daily routine, over and over again.
I don’t know if the attendees read these forums, but I have a little experience with this, and can offer the following advice:
I understand where the question comes from. I, too, often tried to “force” or “reach for” or “grasp for” those feelings of elation when you perform illusory form. I don’t think they are sustainable for long as the questioner points out, when faced with the reality of a daily routine.
BUT. When one spends enough time with the practices, and “just lets the practice be part of your life” instead of “working hard to make results happen,” that’s when the magic begins.
Most of my days are now spent in that sense of wonder, but it’s a quieter wonder most of the time. It is based around the deep realization that the entirety of all my experiences takes place only in my mind. There is no actual “out there”, there is only my mind’s projection of an experience, and that we take for “reality.”
I find I can discover that sense of wonder in the most mundane things. My red toaster, the shape of the toilet (haha sorry but it’s true it’s something I notice several times a day), the line of kitchen knives hanging on the magnetic strip, the kitchen sink, all these everyday things, become remarkable when you reach the understanding that, in essence, your mind is creating these objects for you to perceive.
One very helpful teachings to return to this mode of vision is the first and second of the 5-fold teachings of Dawa Gyaltsen: “vision is mind, mind is empty”. Vision here means the totality of all experience, and that the totality of all experience takes place only and entirely within your mind, and that these objects and experiences are fundamentally illusory and transitional, without any separate solid basis (empty)." Looking out the window, I perceive that the tree I see is a projection of my mind, and has no inherent substance on its own.
It’s a change-up of the usual perspective: from “there is a solid, real world, and we perceive ourselves as interacting within that world” to internalizing everything, that your experiences and reaction to the experiences all originate from inside you.
Eventually, you can begin to actually feel these projections occuring as you encounter the objects of the senses, your thoughts, and so on. It helps to cultivate a quiet, still mind, in reaching these conclusions, which is why the practices of zhine (shamatha), mindfulness meditation, and so forth are so important in supporting these other practices.
Yes, on page 2 of the magazine
I think it is a must read for any serious dreamer, and dont think you will be disappointed. It gets really good towards the middle and ending. Well worth your time
thank you for your unquenchable persistence BB! hihihi…
Intuition told my that it was probably stuff you already knew, but that there may be other people in your life who might benefit from the wisdom shared in it.
Thank you for your beautiful Heart, my Heart
