Author: [[Samael Aun Weor]] Full Title: Dream Yoga Category: #books To those persons, we offer the following quote: “We have given many clues in order to consciously travel with the Astral Body, so thousands of students have learned to travel in their Astral Body. However, we have seen in practice that those people who cannot quiet the mind, not even for an instant, who are accustomed to hopping from school to school, from lodge to lodge, always inquiring, always preoccupied, are not able to consciously astral travel.” - Samael Aun Weor, The Aquarian Message Therefore, understand that this is a scientific, practical, and rigorous effort of working with the consciousness. Information is only useful when it is utilized in the right way. We need Right Effort. Without the effort to be consciously awake from moment to moment, Dream Yoga is impossible. Said another way, the techniques in this book will work for anyone who is making the effort to become consciously awake from moment to moment. To awaken consciousness, we must stop dreaming, and this must be in each moment. Only the individual by himself—and nobody but himself—can become aware at any given instant, at any given moment, if before that instant, if before that moment, he was not really cognizant, that his consciousness was very asleep. Thereafter, he will fall asleep again and forget that experience, or will keep it as a memory, as the memory of a strong experience. Sadly, the life of present human-like people is a life of dreams, yet they believe they are awake and will never admit that they are dreaming—that is, that their consciousness is asleep. If any of them were to suddenly awaken, he would feel terribly ashamed of himself, he would immediately comprehend his clownishness, his own buffoonery, since this life is frightfully ludicrous, horribly tragic, and seldomly sublime. Those who confuse the consciousness with psychological functions, i.e. thoughts, feelings, motor impulses and sensations, are indeed very unconscious: they are profoundly asleep.
