interested in MAP as a tribe?

would anyone like to join me for a 90 day trip around the astral universe?

i've started the journey once before and only made it to day 9!
i'll admit i'm not the most commited person in the world and for this reason, i'd like to begin the journey all over again with one or two future Astral Projectionists (or more if there is enough interest).

i assume it'll be easier to stick to if there is a few of us with common goals and can share success or frustrations with each other. we don't have to know each other on a personal level to make this journey, we are setting out to discover more about ourselves and our place in this universe, not each other. so don't be shy, just trust in yourself that this skill can be mastered and prove it to yourself in 90 days!

if you're interested in starting your quest over again from day one leave a message here.

open for discussion: strategies, journal keeping ideas, time-frame etc.

I was in a MAP group before, it was great. we got alot farther in the book than any of us had alone. for somereason everyone just stoped showing up at the fourm. i would like to be in another one though.

[Nazerel]

I'm afraid I was a part of that ill fated group as well. I even put up the forum. I would like to try again, as my reason for failing was my health(wisdom teeth problems), which is now rectified, thankfully.

So yeah, I can recreate the forum in a new format, and do all organization stuff stuff again.

Ill join.

[reality.failure]

awesome!!

so we are ready to do this!


Nazerel, it would be great if you could recreate the forum again if it isn't too much trouble. if it is too much hassle, there are other options we can go with such as blogger.com, tribe.net etc.

let us know how you go with the forum.

i definately think we'll need that little corner of cyberspace commited to our MAP journey so no distractions tempt us away from our goals.


Moogle_Assassin, BrettB - Hi!!
glad to see you guys would like to face this challenge also. i never expected so many replies...it's great!


how many people do you all think we should have in the tribe? personally, i'd feel comfortable with around 5 or 6. i've been in dream teams before and feel like that is a good number to aim for.


also, how far along did you guys get in your last team?

Well i have no idea what this tribe is going to be like, as I have not been in one before.

Is it like a group that chats everday about MAP, throughout all the days?

By the way i have a pretty busy lifestyle and I can only get on the computer about 2 hours on week days, but plenty on weekends.

[reality.failure]

well, i've had experience with dream teams before (http://sealife.dreamofpeace.net) and what we'd do is every day or a few times a week at the absolute minimum, post your most memorable dreams.

it doesn't have to be every dream. sometimes i used to remember 7 a night, other times none for over a week! depending on how busy i was with real life i either posted as much detail as i could remember or just a brief one or two lines of each dream, enough so i could recall it myself when reading it again in the future. i'd keep a written journal too with little notes, drawings, affirmations etc.

after getting to know each other you find it easy to comment on each others dreams and experiences with ease. this isn't totally necessary for MAPping, it's good to have some feedback on your dreams but the MAP doesn't focus on sharing your dream experiences. the focus seems to be on discovering your own dreams and getting inside your head enough so you understand where the dreams are coming from.

i guess it's totally up to the individual how much they share about their dreaming life. i think the tribe will focus on experiences brought on by the MAP journey. there are the daily exercises to do, so we could discuss techniques with each other...share our opinions and report our results we achieved. i know in my short experience with MAPping last time i experienced intense dreaming due to the relaxation exercises and really obvious HH and myoclonic jerks (which i hadn't experienced for months prior).

you'll get out of it what you put into it, the tribe will be for sharing as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. i just think it would be incredible to come out of the 90 day experience having AP at will!! that is my aim.

;)

Ohh sounds very good, I was thinking it would be us doing MAP day by day together and that would be hard due to schedules.
I like the idea how its 5 people getting to realize one another from all diffrent perspectives, which could help tons.

Im definetly in!

[reality.failure]

:)

yeh, we can't be too strict following the exact 90 day regime.

even the authors admit it's easy to miss a day here or there and pick up from where you left off again as long as the gap hasn't been too long. at least as a team we will be able to offer encouragement and support for each other so the journey will be easier to travel.

*excited now*

The forum, as it stands now, is located at:

http://www.areani.net/forum/

I'll need to fix it up, but that's the address in the meantime. I may try a different format than the last time. I don't know yet, I'll have to think about it some more.

[reality.failure]

cool!

i read your old thread on here about your last study group.
seems like your ideas for a general one for chat topics, links etc and also the MAP project forum with the 3 sections for discussing the specifics of the program. also the seperate forum for each of us to keep our dream journals in is ideal!

one request, can we have a light (white or any light colours) alternative template for the forum. i have vision problems with dark coloured websites.

:wink:

Will do. Just need to find the proper style.

I just took a quick gander at that forum, and while I can't see the posts I can say the energy I am seeing there is quite impressive! good luck on your endevours :)

[Moogle_Assassin]

i thought ur name was familier, thats the same group as b4!

Not too bright though, dark isn't that bad :P .

[Nazerel]

I changed it to the original style, so I hope that's good. I'll try and set up the forums tonight.

[Scorpyn]

I got the book today, would it be possible to join your group or have you already started (or is the group full)? :)

[Nazerel]

Certainly. I still need to set up the board, so it won't be ready until tomorrow sometime.

[Scorpyn]

Great :D

[reality.failure]

we welcome you along for the journey.

i'd like to start sometime in the coming few days. i've read almost every post in this forum looking for hints and tips, can't wait to see this tribe in action.

so far we have:
reality.failure
Nazerel
brettb
Moogle_Assassin
Scorpyn

if anyone else is interested, please add a post to this thread...don't be shy!


Spectral Dragon - thanks for your words of encouragement! :wink:

[Nazerel]

Okay, for anyone who want's to join, sign up to the board. I need to make you moderators of your journals.

http://www.areani.net/forum/

We also need a start date. I don't think we need a static date for everyone; we're all starting eventually anyway, the point is to finish the program.

I suggest this weekend, or tomorrow as the starting time. Really, it doesn't matter too much, as time/schedules will likely shift around everyone's progress relative to each other's.

[Scorpyn]

We are also on different time zones...

Well, the day doesn't matter that much to me, I feel about the same regarding the weekend or tomorrow.

Hi guys, yes we got pretty far last time. The reason that I stopped showing up was that I got a new job and I couldn't keep up due to very long work hours. Sorry guys!! When I finally decided it's time to start again, our forum wasn't working anymore :-( It's funny that I ran into this discussion since this is the first time I looked at this forum in a long time. Talk about coincidences...

Anyway, please, do count me in! Hi Stephan (is that how you spell your name? :-) I'm still registered, so I'm all good to go and I'll go check it out now. I think the format we had last time was IDEAL. Everybody had their own space and other people couldn't start topics in that space. Separate place for dream journal was also very nice.

I missed you guys! Last time was so much fun. And it's the only group I felt comfortable in to share all my dreams. I'm looking forward to getting to know new people.

Love,

Lena

[reality.failure]

:) welcome Lena!


we're only just beginning now.

anyone else want to jump aboard before we get too far from the shore?

[Will]

Is it too late for me to join? I'm new to MAP, and would love to be able to share my experiences with other people :) It'd be a good incentive too

Will x

[Nazerel]

It's not too late. I'm only on day 8 and a few others aren't too far along either. Just go to the site and make an account, and I'll set up your journal.
