   This post will most likely be as disturbing as it is shocking.  I have   
   been asked to obtain a modicum of tact for this disturbing as it is   
   shocking message I must relay.   
      
   I must put aside my tempered emotional state in order to relay truth.   
      
   The entire paradigm at Stanford is about to change.   
      
   Learning is about to change.   
      
   Disturbing because what I am going to tell you to read is what you may   
   consider a disruptive technology if it were in fact a technology at all...   
      
   You are all somewhat aware of Stephen La Berge and his work, however, you   
   are unaware of his failures at your institution albeit more on track than   
   any other human around.   
      
   You see, Dream Induced Lucid Dreaming is NOT IT.   
      
   Waking Induced Lucid Dreaming allows one to load the equivalent of a 4   
   year degree from MIT in two weeks time.   
      
   You see, we do not delve in anything other than facts.   
      
   The fact remains no matter how disturbing you find this post, reading The   
   WILD Way by Brian Aherne will allow all human beings to accelerate the   
   rate at which they learn on a scale of which until now has remained   
   unrealized.

   ### - smile, i met this intelligent-enough young dude about 4 or 5 years   
   ago after first posting the wild way on facebook, and in that time he's   
   completely switched over to WILDing as his method of choice when it comes   
   to lucid dreaming, subsequently becoming rather proficient... (the same   
   guy in that video-review, that he made completely off his own back btw   
   such was his passion, and that i borrowed from to make adverts out of   
   etc...)   
      
   and now here he is informing stanford U of a potential paradigm shift in   
   the 'way' we learn??   
      
   afaic, he still speaks & thinks in fairly naive + even emotionally-charged   
   terms when it comes to some of the implications & ramifications of being   
   'able' to WILD... the point here, however, is that he's not wrong, and has   
   reached that 'practical' level of it where he's now making mental models   
   based upon some OF those implications/ramifications based on things he's   
   realised himself!   
      
   it's taken him 4 or 5 years to work his way through to 'realising' all   
   those chapters one by one and is obviously just about getting to the   
   (philosophical) end of it, and, as such, is one of the first to do so ;)   
      
   he also used to be a bit of a hothead, talking almost exclusively in terms   
   of astral planes and chakras/energy-points + a whole bunch of other very   
   mystical gobbledygook heh, but all this has apparently sobered him up   
   somewhat by apparently providing some kind of perhaps clear-er albeit   
   visionary direction in life...   
      
   and imho that can only be a good thing...   
      
   so am pleased :)
