Nunca busquei viver a minha vida

Nunca busquei viver a minha vida

A minha vida viveu-se sem que eu quisesse ou não quisesse.

Só quis ver como se não tivesse alma

Só quis ver como se fosse eterno.

Learning lucid dreaming to reach the void state

The existence of a brain as powerful as ours opens the door to infinite possibilities. The human mind is extraordinarily complex; we have yet to fully understand its capabilities, and every day we witness brilliant minds and creations.

Dreams take us to an even more astonishing aspect of our minds, offering a vast range of possibilities. In dreams, you can be whoever or whatever you want, experiencing the limits of your imagination, leading us to lucid dreams.

Lucid dreaming is the closest thing to scientific "transcendence." When you develop and refine the ability to have lucid dreams, the possibilities become endless. As someone with experience in lucid dreaming, I can say it’s an extraordinary feeling.

To achieve the ability to lucid dream, there are various methods, but it all begins with questioning reality. "What proves I’m not dreaming right now?" or "Could this be a dream?" are ways to train your brain. It doesn't happen overnight, but the moment you rationally question whether you're dreaming, you’ve already gained awareness. That’s a significant step. From there, you’ll start noticing oddities within the dream or sensations that attempt to simulate real life but verge on strangeness.

Once you achieve awareness within a dream, staying in it becomes another challenge. Your brain will try to wake you up because you’re venturing into territory it hasn’t "simulated." You’ll need to be firm in staying within the dream while remaining conscious. It’s normal to feel your body in bed, but don’t give up — you’re still in the dream. Since you're in a drowsy state, there’s a good chance you’ll enter a trance that allows you to stay a bit longer. Luck also plays a role, and you’ll need focus if you want to transition from the current dream to a desired reality.

The void state can be reached through lucid dreaming, and from there, anything is possible. Your mind is incredible, and you can use it however you want — it just takes practice. You’re in control, so don’t let yourself think otherwise. You can do it.

Nothing can stop you.

Queria aprender a descansar de mim mesma. Parar de ser essa presença que nunca silencia, que nunca sossega. Dentro da minha cabeça, sou uma conversa sem fim, um ruído contínuo. Eu me exijo tanto, cobro, argumento, reviro e canso. Queria, por um instante, me abandonar como quem larga um peso na calçada e vai embora sem olhar para trás. Descansar de mim seria como um mergulho no fundo do mar: um silêncio absoluto, uma ausência de palavras, um vazio que não dói. Talvez eu me encontre lá, no intervalo entre o que fui e o que finjo ser. Talvez, no descanso, eu descubra que não preciso de tanto esforço para existir. Mas quem me ensina? Quem me ensina a me despedir sem medo, a me deixar em paz? Eu carrego comigo mesma como uma mala pesada, cheia de coisas que nem lembro porque guardei. E se, ao descansar, eu acabar descobrindo que não sei ser outra coisa além de cansaço? Ah, se eu pudesse descansar de mim, talvez, enfim, eu pudesse me encontrar.

Finally peace.

When you embrace the void, it rewards you with peace. An inner peace. It's as if all the doubts in your life don't need an answer, because you finally understand that none of this needs to be rushed, that it doesn't matter enough to disturb you or deprive you of sleep. You finally snuggle into the void - but you don't stop living.

The bond with the void is something special. Looking up at the sky brings you closer to comfort, brings back memories of what you didn't experience and an immense nostalgia. Longing for home. As if what you were looking for to fill the gap in your existence was there. Nothing else afflicts you, your existence is here, but your soul is already traveling through universes and possibilities. The void has no time, no form. It is the same today and will be the same tomorrow and that's comforting.

You may be thinking "What is this? A cult of the void? A religion?", feel free to think that. But that's the truth that I carry with me and I want to express it. The universe connects us and we are all dust of the same expanse, so call it what you want, religion, philosophy, shifting, lifestyle. We are all gods of our own lives and now you have control of it, of your own life.

Make the choice.
