Like, I get doing stretches and some pre sleep meditation. But I’m talking about the stuff after you start projecting. My instructor introduced me to a little known trick in which you surround your mat with personal objects that hold strong memories. On my second most recent mission I found that I was able to close more portals when my childhood Raggedy Ann had been placed at my feet. And what do you guys do about the faces in the slip gates that speak in latin? Does everyone else just ignore them?

    Use the entrance to the Astral Sea nearer the parking garage, over by the Cheesecake Singularity. Way nicer astral neighborhood, though everything costs a bit more mana.

    I use the Tibetan Book of the Dead as a guide. For faces at the slip gates (i.e. the dweller on the threshold), recognize that they’re nothing other than your own mind. Bless them with love and compassion, and then let them go to continue on your quest.

    Dude. Are you sure you have your mat aligned properly? What kind of compass have you used? You need to align your mat perfectly due North. Remember: the magnetic north. Not the “true north”, which would misalign you on the magnetic lye-lines causing all kinds of halucinations. Don’t use your phone but a real compass and make sure there is no interference from metal objects.

    Get your belly full, reverse genocide purple worms, wield a rubber duck, and leave Team Ant alone. And remember: you aren’t there to fight, you just need to offer that bloody amulet on the right altar.

    And what do you guys do about the faces in the slip gates that speak in latin?

    Just don’t #chat with them. The most that they’ll say is “quid esse credis, Bellum?” anyway.

    Incense over the work station, speakers playing the chanty, recite the versus. When you see the slip gates Remember “My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred”. A mind unguarded is like a fortress with the drawbridge down. Normally I get kicked out by the locals when they go for the jump scare and the punch their face. Pretty funny.

    I once tried lucid dreaming, but couldn’t fly into space… Bounced off the dome and woke up. :/

    Try to fob it off to Jason Asano. Because no way am I skilled enough at that and Jason and the Builder already have beef with each other.
