Astral Projection, and Lucid Dreaming

The first time I slipped between the worlds, I wasn’t meditating. I was running. It was three in the morning, and the hum of a government research facility—a place buried so deep in the Nevada desert that no map acknowledges it—was still vibrating in my skull. They had been testing something on us. A frequency. […]

The light is a lie.
