It’s not a joke, I’d highly recommend you try talking to one if you want their perspective on the issue.
While they aren’t that hurt by you thinking of them as eldritch monsters, you still shouldn’t do it. They’re not a monolith of course, but I’ve never met one that enjoyed the fear they create in people. The old Abrahamic “unfeeling servants of God” is only half true. Some are like that but most are surprisingly sensitive to suffering. They just try not to make it about themselves because they’re the ones overstepping, even though it’s for a good cause.
Sure, I do magic, astral projection, and lucid dreaming. This doesn’t mesh well with communism so I usually hide it. I may also just be delusional or have some sort of undiagnosed condition. That makes more sense logically and is what I personally think is happening. But I have fun and it doesn’t intrude on my personal life so who cares.
I’ve met a few and here’s what I’ve been told. They’re essentially non-human spirits with some allegiance to a higher power. Not a God per say but a “piece of god” as they’ve described it. What we describe as Gods are entities with some sort of connection to the Eternal Source of all things from which all souls and energy comes from. Certain gods claim to be “the whole” of this power but others are more hesitant. Angels are spirits contracted under one of these gods and are usually created by the god in question. As opposed to “demons” who either spring up naturally from energy or are separated from their creator god.
Their interest in the material realm is two-fold. One, they seek to harvest earth energy, which we can think of as matter, because it is a valuable resource in the astral plane. It acts as a ground in which harmful/unnecessary energy can be directed. This is also why magic is weaker on the material plane. Anything you could do on the astral would require a shit ton more energy in the material. This has also given us protection from the outside astral. Their second interest is in following the human scientific process of understanding the universe. Like I mentioned earlier, the Eternal Source is a big deal in the astral. Their magicians are constantly seeking new ways to use and understand it. They hope that by us studying the universe, we’ll reveal more about their portion of it.
As for personal interactions, they’re pretty friendly for the most part. I can’t describe exactly what I’ve seen because they request anonymity. I can say that biblically accurate angels are largely accurate. I would describe them differently, but I can see how someone without an understanding of particles/waves would come up with that description.
My mind literally prevents me from getting horny dreams.
I had a lucid one last night and saw a nice girl who looked like a crush I had in school. I could literally feel the dream ending until I said I just wanted to talk about our time in high school. It immediately stabilized and we had a nice chat for a few minutes.
Lucid dreaming may be socially odd but should be fine, Caudwell wrote about it hypothetically (guy didn’t know it existed) as a tool to explore potential praxis but worried when they weren’t shared it’d recreate all the errors of old fashioned religion (and ofc escapism). Neurosci/psych agree on lding being existent, the question 10 years ago was were really conscious during them or just remembering so, some of the older neuropsychs are still adamant we’re not really conscious during them (Damasio comes to mind for a famous one), imaging studies looked promising, and since this is story telling by the campfire, tbh I’ve been more lucid in some dreams than I have at work or trips to the grocery store, then again I’m an lding natural, so its like twice a week with next to 0 effort for me.
Rest heck if I know, I’m pretty hard materialist but I’m of the mind if the bourgeois use all sorts of symbolism etc as a tool as should we, no tool should be off the table. There was an old USSR film where Mullah Nasreddin pretended to be an astrologer to avoid the king’s wraith. Now, I wouldn’t do that in current conditions since there’s as many laws still in the books against astrologers and similar in the west esp Burgerland as there are against reds, but there shows some potential use.
What methods do you use to lucid dream? I’ve tried to fulfill my dreams of shooting up trenches full of nazis in my sleep (video games just aren’t the same!!111!) but failed, are there any specific things you do?
I wake up an hour early in the morning and immediately roll on to my stomach to sleep. I can’t sleep on my stomach usually but when I’m half asleep it’s a breeze. I still feel some connection to the body which enables me to enter a dream lucidly. I’ve gotten about 2-3 lucid dreams a week this way and I stumbled upon it completely unintentionally.
MILD and WILD also exist but I’ve never found success in those. Dreams are unstable by design, you need to learn to be present but still calm enough. Get a dream journal, try some techniques, but don’t really make it an obsession. You ultimately can’t control when you lucid dream as a beginner, I can’t even control the when as a more experienced person. All you can do is make the right conditions and wait. You’ll get the hang of it if you try, but getting there is hard.
Keeping a dream journal is a classic one, just write your dreams first thing when get up in the morning. Then there’s methods, an easy one is reality checks for example if you can breathe through a pinched nose, break laws of physics or have really weird hands/whatever versus normally it’s a good chance you’re in a dream. Do note dreams are ruled by expectations if you expect xyz you will get xyz.
When I really want to put effort into LDing I keep a scrap of paper like a receipt etc (or I guess a phone would work) and I just scrawl my memories first thing on waking up on that then transfer to a dream journal if I feel like it.
New tagline just dropped?

Can you tell me about your experiences talking to angels?

Or I could just be delusional ymmv.
I just use my dream powers to get horny dreams. Maybe I should be more ambitious.

Gotcha. I had a dream journal but I keep forgetting to write in it lol, same goes for reality checks.
When I really want to put effort into LDing I keep a scrap of paper like a receipt etc (or I guess a phone would work) and I just scrawl my memories first thing on waking up on that then transfer to a dream journal if I feel like it.
This is the thing that always bothers me about magic is that I know I can’t do it.
well they must be feeling because lucifer’s rebellion was a result of his wounded pride which is a feeling
