Thanks you, i has used ball energy for lucid dream and pull it into my heart. I got lucid dream, but when i try the same method (which i pull may ball of energy into my head) i dont get lucid dream, so i know now that the key to lucid dream is in heart/mind.
The combined essence of all the Buddhas, pervading lord of the ocean of mandalas and Buddha families, incomparable kind and precious root teacher, please hear me, please bless my mind i pray, please grant your blessings to recognize dreams as dreams, please bless me with the power to emanate and transform in dreams, please grant your blessings so that dreams arise in clear light, please grant your blessings so that bliss and clarity are integrated 🙏🏽
One reason for why heart and mind might be referred to by the same word, is that in some cases, ancient civilizations may have been referring to the cerebellum as the heart rather than the pump in the chest that moves the blood. The reasoning for that goes something like this - it is the heart of what makes humans cognitively human in the brain. It is also the source of our ability to understand and make things like art, which evoke strong emotion.
I understand your appealing to skeptics about higher powers with silly phrases like "I'm a sucker for this", noting you believe in theses powers but they might be explained with current scientific psychology. I guess you're saying it works for skeptics, too. But I kind of wish you didn't, and say unequivocally that spiritual entities will help you upon request. In the "West" we're in an impossible position, we have to appeal to science, and note we know very little about these entities, if they exist. As I understand it, Tibetan Dream Yoga isn't ambiguous about this issue. But, we don't want to sound like insincere New Age hucksters, either. My past attempts at lucidity haven't been successful, so I'm desperate enough to try this. It might be a bit more encouraging if you said something like "supernatural forces will help you, whether you believe in them or not!" lol. It's a tightrope walk, but it might serve you well to say firmly your experience, and subjective evidence, is that such forces help. Appealing to skeptics feeds my cynical side, and perhaps that is exactly the obstacle I need to overcome. I hope this is constructive criticism, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has trouble committing when both sides are presented with equal consideration. It's not that "you're a sucker" when one side gets results and the other not so much, as charmingly disarming these admissions may be.
