Thanks for posting! I will probably be getting his book and CD soon. This is a very interesting question. Astral explorer Kurt Leland has performed a sort of non-physical cartography and bestiary; he talks about the "Dream Zone" and "Afterdeath Zone" being parts of the astral plane. This is from his personal experience in having what he calls "adventures in consciousness" during his sleep, where he has learned to navigate these different realms and identify the beings he encounters as projections of his own consciousness, other dreamers, the recently deceased, non-physical guides, thought forms created by people's emotions, and more besides. His books "Otherwhere" and the "Unanswered Question" deal with this kind of thing. More recently, he came upon the Theosophical notion of multiple planes and bodies, and now talks about the path of spiritual development in terms of accessing the higher planes and devloping the abilities of the "bodies" (e.g. mental body, causal body) that operate on these planes. Here is an account of his interacting with a "dream guide" - a being whose job it is to be of assistance to dreamers: http://www.kurtleland.com/astral-projection-log/2004/115-diner-in-the-sky-astral-and-mental-planes Like I said in another thread recently, there are very few authors who have changed my worldview so dramatically, and IMO much what he writes resonates with Michael Lomax's teachings.

ok some more questions santiago i have started using the inner smile. My instructions come from glann morises books and meditation mastery cds. i have been using my own series of images to invoke positive feelings basically following morrises instructions. My questions are what abilities/benefits does this meditation develop. im inclined to guess manifestation, bliss and healing. are there any specific things i should know about this meditation. I believe santiago said that it was originally used by kings? Also do you use the same 6 healing sounds from mantak chia with the stretches. I have tried a technique that involves taking the inner smile energy and moving it up and down through my body sort of like a wave crashing over me, it has allowed me to enter a trance. would this be helpful for achieving astral projection? What, in your opinion, is the quickest most effective way to achieve astral projection. I have tried various techniques but havent ever been able to leave my body. Santiago you once said that you practiced real dream yoga. are there any books that describe the method you use for dream yoga. Have you had any experience with sleep yoga. My only source of information on the subjects of dream and sleep yoga is The tibetan yogas of dream and sleep is this a good book on the subject. Thank you

Hi Steve, The V8 engines - Dream on... - Anand

Thank you, Lienshan. Here's a sample of what the Eranos I Ching (Rudolf Ritsema and Shantena Augusto Sabbadini) does: 24 Return -- Fu The situation described by this hexagram is characterized by the re-emergence of something past, returning to a previous time or place or retracing a path in order to correct one's mistakes. Image of the situation Return. Growing. Emerging, entering, without affliction. Partners come, without fault. Reversing: returning (to) one's dao. (The) seventh day comes return. Harvesting: possessing directed going. Fields of meaning: Return, FU: go back, turn or lead back; recur, reappear, come again; restore, renew, recover; return to an earlier time or place. Ideogram: step and retrace a path. Grow, HENG: heavenly influence pervading and nourishing all things; prosper, succeed, expand, develop; effective, favorable; quality of summer and South, second stage of the Time Cycle. With pronunciation XIANG: offer a sacrifice; offer a gift to a superior; accept, enjoy. And so on for each word... then come Patterns of Wisdom (words in brackets absent from the original text, added by translators very tentatively, different in fonts to make sure the reader does not mistake the stylistic organization toward a sentence that is easier on the uppermost crust of one's neocortex for the real thing -- the real thing, in the meantime, is processed a level below, at least, and on several levels of meaning simultaneously... They say interpreting the images of the I Ching is like interpreting dreams -- complete certainty is laughable, but getting the drift of a dream is an innate skill all undamaged humans either have or can learn.) Thunder Located (in the) earth('s) center. Return. (The) earlier kings used culminating sun (to) bar (the) passages. Bargaining sojourners (used culminating sun) not (to) move. (The) crown prince (used culminating sun) not (to) inspect (on all) sides. with the following Field of Meanings for the "earlier kings": XIAN WANG: ideal rulers of old; the golden age, primal time; mythical sages in harmony with nature and with one of the meanings of "bargain" being "hour before sunrise and sunset." This is one of the delicious hidden double-talk inner metaphors of the I Ching (little by little you start discerning them with practice... and suspecting there's thousands -- maybe millions -- maybe billions! and there's triple-talk and quadruple-talk ones there too... perhaps trillions?..). So, if we take "hour before sunrise and sunset" for the second-layer meaning of the double-meaningful "bargaining sojourners," and "harmony with nature" for the "earlier kings," and also notice that "crown prince" may or may not be "crown prince" because the field of meanings includes "empress, mother of a prince..." ...but at this point you have to be dreaming the I Ching dream of time and space and it's really easy to get lost in a dream, as everyone knows, so studying the I Ching is the art of lucid dreaming within its dreams of time and space... then doing something that will affect the waking reality. And I've done it many times but still it sends shivers down my spine every time. (Anyone has a shivering emoticon? )

I'll reply this as it's not just related to chocolate haha. What you have said certainly is one side of the coin, and I know this what you were getting at too, Beyonder. However, if you buy into evolution...should our distant relatives (non human) had stuck with that notion, we may have never left the oceans. I dream to be more than this stage of human, although it is still just a dream.

a "lucid dream" doesn't give you superpowers, depending on what those words means to you. Some people say a dream in which you know it is a dream. Lucidness, however, gives you awareness which you can use to witness higher potentials. Wether in dreams or not in dreams. Alot of people fail to do what they want even within lucid dreams. Because their reality is stuck in desire, not lucidness. Once you actually stop desiring and change reality from desiring to actually seeing that which you initially wanted, or atleast the potential of it, then you will have succeeded in waking up.

Thank you! 3. What I have come to believe is that if you are going to access a different timeline, it will let you know that you might... that you can, you should, you have a chance, you have a need, etc.. You will get some nudges from there. E.g., I've been working on gaining access to a timeline which I initially started dimly recalling for the way it smells -- olfactory memory triggering jing-level memory, not personal and not genetic and not even DNA-level -- inclusive of these but spanning far, far beyond -- billions of years. Jing has access to that level, in fact most of it exists on that level. Jing and cosmic memory are synonymous interchangeable notions. So, OK, from either a different time (a past life or a future one) or a different timeline (a parallel one), I remember the way the steppe smells when set on fire. When wormwood burns, it smells of -- um, moxa. That's why burning moxa in this life, smelled for the first time, triggered that memory from a different one. Well, nothing would happen if I just noticed that "this smells familiar and tantalizingly so, beyond just the smell of burning moxa," but then I grab the spontaneous trigger and add the learned tools of cultivation. I add meditation. I add dream-consciousness access techniques. I add past life regression techinques (which can be used for parallel and future lives too). The trick, the difference between it working and it not really working, is to find the spontaneous personal "gateway." I suspect everybody has those but we aren't taught to notice, much less use them -- we are taught to ignore such things. Well, that's why the majority of the population does not time travel. So, the discovery that the smell of burning moxa triggers a memory of a life where there's steppe wormwood on fire is mine alone -- no one else can discover THIS timeline using THIS method, or others I've gained some access to. You have your own to which no one else has access. Well, actually I don't know if that's true, maybe people move through timelines in clusters (Edgar Cayce asserted they do reincarnate in more or less simultaneous clusters -- families, nations, races -- because of collective karma shared by all members of a family, nation, race, etc.. -- species for that matter ). But personally I have no access to someone else's jing-level memories, only my own (well, that's not exactly true either, but I can't explain in few words and don't want to spend many), and these are rare and precious. They are triggered by whatever "nudges" them and then they get somewhat expanded in a dream spontaneously following a trigger, and then it's up to me to put two and two together and start working on gaining more access. So, e.g., the technique I suggested earlier -- "look at your feet in your dream's eye, see what you're wearing, watch where your feet are going" -- is something I used with moxa, and I saw boots of leather as soft as kid gloves, crimson in color and embossed with gold, and the word for the material was "safian." I knew I was someone wearing safian boots. That was the beginning of a beautiful "know thyself" journey that is still going on. I can't tell you more about that woman, but whatever she's doing with her life has no applications for my current one -- none. It's just great to know her for a part of me, is all. There's no way I can "use" her, or she, me. It's more like... if you see a magnificent landscape at dawn and it takes your breath away, it does something for you, to you, through you -- but you can't "use" it, you can just... well, experience it and be changed favorably for the experience. So, the best use I've found so far for timelines I can access is like that. It's a bit like finding your lost family... it makes you more complete, but a child separated from her family is not looking to "use" them once she's found them -- just to be herself, and "herself" means "part of my family." The flower of your timelines is your family in a sense -- the family of one who is also infinite. It's just cool to get to know some of its members, for its own sake.

Interesting. This made me curious enough to dig for dream meanings of rats. This rat was huge and mostly black, but I don't think it was all black. It was not aggressive toward me but I felt like it was trying to annoy me or show me something. Plus it had all kinds of magical abilities like I've never seen before. So I interpret it as a kind of a teacher. If this rat had no extraordinary abilities, I would be more inclined to think of it as an ordinary dream rat with ordinary dream meanings. But this rat was not anything normal so normal meanings do not apply to it.

Many of the Masters you mentioned were jivanamuktas (like Swami Vivekananda, Adi Shankaracharya who lived only till the age of 32). The concept of 'human longevity' does not play a role in such cases. This human life itself is like a dream-existence. It has no significant attraction to them. They do their work as long as is needed and in the process their bodies might well disintegrate. They don't die...they are liberated while in the body from the concept of life and death (which is part of the bondage).

Just thoughts... Am I dreaming and does my dream/world reflect me/my vibration? Are all players my projections? Is all their pain my pain, their joy my joy? Is all my pain/joy self inflicted? If it's a dream how do I control it? Even if I wake I will still be dreaming, just consciously? ∞

I believe this is possible aswel. It certainly must be! In lucid dreaming, people sometimes develop positive trauma's, or faith, by doing things in their dreams they do not dare in real life. Singing in front of a crowd of people is an example of forming a positive trauma in a lucid dream. After that kind of lucid dream, you are less fearful of singing in front of crowds if you've already overcome that fear in your dreams, even if you would have forgotten such a dream. So if the "positive trauma's" are possible, surely the negative ones must be there aswell. As for regular dreams? Forgetting the event itself that formed the trauma can be even more potent, wether its positive or negative. It leaves no knowledge of the trauma. Only the impulsive instinct, the invisible scar, in your psychology. In the end, you will see that there is no single reality, but that it changes every moment. So you begin developing trauma's on the fly, you find faith in the void, you start to do impossible things and become a new person every single second. Improving, addapting... Thats lucid dreaming. All dreams are highly unstable and unpredictable. They are merely stress tests, like a sort of meter of your performance and challenges of your believes. Some crazy thing you fear deep within starts to jump out of nowhere, you decide to give a cup of coffee and talk with it, then the coffee begins to melt and you freak out! Now, you failed the test, because you were not flexible and aware enough to notice your fear of the hotness of the coffee. In my dreams I often deal with fears this way, perhaps I have more fears then usual, but love them. Without fear, courage would have no meaning.

'sublunary desires' just meaning earthly desires in English. Chan is very infused with Taoism Travailing to japan it became known as Zen. Void is an important teaching. The void also contains.....Cranial Nerves, elephants, some dancing and also dream state stuff that are empty of meaning. What we attach ourselves to becomes full of even more meaning and stuff, it is amazing.

That's where we disagree. In a dream my mind might have created a tree but no one else can see it. In awareness I can see the tree and everyone else sees it too. Sure, we difine it differently but it is still the same tree that we all are looking at. Hehehe. Okay. Another place we disagree. If we don't know the difference between a butterfly and our human being self then you need to stop doing drugs. This is where the discriminating mind comes into play. Sure, I can recognize the difference. And yes, they are different. Sure, they are of the same source (star stuff) while the ball of clay is still in its ball form the sculpture is an expression of someone who used the clay to present their thoughts. The carved block. Unshaped substance would be "uncarved block". The Manifest (yu) is potential reified. Potential (wu) cannot yet be defined. It is sometimes referred to as Mystery. Almost correct. I suggested that wu wei is action without intention. Not emptiness. Your equation: You cannot have substance is there is nothing but emptiness. When Buddhists talk about emptiness I normally respond with the concept of fullness. I believe that most Buddhists are confused about the concept of emptiness. Empty of independent existence and/or eternal existence, indeed. But not empty of substance.

I have a book recommendation: The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche (Author), Mark Dahlby (Editor) Dreaming is a high and mighty human art in many traditions, but not all of them are written... so if you want to do it in a traditional non-haphazard way, oral transmission is best, but a good book describing a written dreaming tradition is better than trying to invent the wheel. I am working on switching timelines in dreamtime... not really interested in lucid dreaming in this one, I spend enough time here in my waking state. Your access to different timelines is determined by their emotional rather than spacial or temporal proximity. I.e. if you feel you "belong here" and all you want to do is tweak with your position "here," you can learn to lucid-dream in this timeline. But if you feel you "belong elsewhere," you will need to work out the details of this "elsewhere" first. Lucid-dreaming in the current timeline is much easier, because you remember many details (millions) on autopilot. What your clothes look like, and everybody else's. What houses, lampposts, money, toilet bowls looks like. What a "car" is. What a "Ph.D." means. Millions of details are already there, you don't have to change "it all" in your dream -- only something minor like your own position within this timeline. Not so easy with switching timelines. Things you don't remember outnumber things you do by orders of magnitude. Luckily, once you remember something, it's like a bead on a string -- you pull and the whole necklace of related, connected "beads" can be dragged out, and then you notice where it is tied to another one... you can disentangle a whole timeline like this. The "bead" is an emotionally significant or a very vividly remembered (due to repetitive use, e.g.) little detail. One such repetitive detail is the shoes you wear in a particular timeline. I like to start exploring other timelines by looking down at my feet (with my mind's eye, not with my physical eyes) to see what I'm wearing there. The routine is, as you go to sleep in "this" timeline, you visualize waking up in "another" one, and when you wake up, you put your shoes on, or go barefoot as the case may be. (I can't gain access yet to timelines that have no shoes.) When you are putting your shoes on, use your hands (in your mind, that is), and keep looking at your hands and feet and the shoes might materialize. If they materialize, put them on and go... where?.. Keep watching your feet, see where they are going... take it from there.

My intial questions should have gone through my review board as I got carried away mixing some queries I have. Thanks for your answers. I guess I was saying in a round about way (wrong way). This seems like a dream sometimes and I guess there are other 'real dreams' that exist and I can tune into. This is real and unreal. Sometimes emptiness envelops me more and I feel like a veil will be lifted and I can go to other places and or not be here which would then be there, which kind of makes this a dream. The only way I will solve this is by my own experience I guess. Thanks again. ∞

What stands out to me the most is that you're trying to explain something about yourself to "mom". Only you know the answer to that and to all of these symbols. Dream dictionaries all give different answers it seems but if the interpritation deeply scares/angers you than it's probably something you should be thinking about... regardless of it being dream related or not.

Bohr's Law does not imply that so-called observers and the observed need a human connection, as if humans effect things into perceived reality,...only cerebral-centric interpretations implied that. Buddhists and pre-Buddha Bonpa's questioned the validity of the brain thousands of years before today's mediocre quantuum physics. Even the Maya of Mespamerica, knew more about physics then today's Physicists,...for example, zero upsets the logic of today's physics, whereas the Maya understood zero spiritually. With the exception of a few physics like Hawkings and Hartle, most physicists are about as close to understanding the empirical world, as a monkey in the night squats scheming how to capture the moon. Steven Hawking and Jim Hartle, in their No-Boundary theory, said that since time loses characteristics that separate it from space, the concept of a beginning in time becomes meaningless. That is to say, there was no Big Bang, no singularity, no creation, no Creator, no beginning nor end, because there is no time. Duality's reality is not much different from the dream you had last night,...while in the dream, you believed the dream was real. informer asked,...."Is light and it's interactions objective or subjective?" That's object-ive, sciential thinking. Undivided Light does not "interact",...divided light, the illusion that is perceived to be projected within the holgraphic cube the cerebra-centric call reality, is viewed both object-ively and subject-ively by the same stuff that is the illusion. Scotty believes,..."Everything is occurring as this present moment, and I can easily think/look/experience anything in the "now"." This is irrefutably false,...unfortunately, when a falsity is told long enough it is veiwed as something other than being false,...like the millennia of people believing the Sun revolved around the Earth. Absolutely nothing that is detectable in the universe is, or has ever been, in the Present. You, cannot "think/look/experience anything in the "now",...totally impossible. Of course you can continue believing that lie,...but it will never make it true. As Eckhart Tolle said "we need to draw our attention to what is false in us, for unless we learn to recognize the false as the false, there can be no lasting transformation, and you will always be drawn back into illusion, for that is how the false perpetuates itself" V

Oh wow, i had no idea. That is very neat. I will be reading up more on him in relation to the I Ching. Great insight, Michael. Immediately my search led me to this recent article... http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/mar/21/ancient-book-wisdom-i-ching-computer-binary-code The ending of the article is good stuff.... "So when scientific thinkers – including many of my favourite science fiction writers – ask whether computers can create "virtual realities" or "artificial intelligence", they are missing the point. Of course we can create ever deeper and more complex layers of the dream of reality to get lost in. The real question is, can we wake up from the dream we're in already?"

For a very short time years ago with lots of conscious awareness work and self hypnosis I was able to just fall directly from waking consciousness into a conscious dream. Jung apparently could do this too and he met archetypes and spirit guides directly. Anyway I would loose body consciousness and see images which would be before me and then would envelope me if I focused on them. I was young and would scare myself shitless encountering parts of myself in an unknown world where my projected mixed up feeling and emotions where very intense. I spent a night on my back on top of mount Sinai in Egypt bouncing in and out of dreams all night long. I think if you can go into emptiness just set up your intent verbally or willfully like a laser beam for lucid dreaming and off you go (requires full one pointed focus). Obviously you have to get the mind out the way and I think it can help by editing/reframing the mind with self hypnosis, positive affirmations to help facilitate your goal the deeper those suggestions go in the more beneficial. It's my view that with the right mind/open minded thoughts all barriers can be removed permanently. Am thinking of creating hypnosis tapes and then going into emptiness as far as I can then playing them. About 9 months ago I was getting up in the middle of the night and standing like a tree for 15 minutes then going back to bed. Practically every time in went back to sleep I had a lucid dream. Other people I have known used Jungian active imagination techniques and gradually built up their internal senses until ther imagination was like real and they could access their subconscious/archetypes that way anytime. Practice makes perfect I guess. In my view to cultivate lucid dreaming without having to go unconcious first (sleep) is the better way to go and in its seems logical to me both ways are going to require having energy and consciousness as opposed to being in an unconcious pattern. The other technique is the Carlos Castenda one where you look at your hands and ask your self are you dreaming. You make this a pattern of behaviour and then one day in your dreams you look at your hands and your realise that you are dreaming and hey presto your lucid. ∞

My sensei was a 'serial' dreamer. He'd be mostly lucid and live in the same dream world/scenario each night. As a child if I was awakened I could go back to the same place in a dream. I've lost that ability. How many people revisit the same places over and over in there dreams?

A friend of mine can dream of cooking up a grand feast on one night, and enjoying the same feast the following night. Plus he can do this at will with other dream-activities too, like journeys he would take, from the initial planning, to starting out, going to certain places on certain nights, and then continuing the same theme over a period of a few nights. Being a devoted Vajrayana student, he loves working his dreams around pilgrimages to holy places he reads about, like Mt Kailash, Bodhgaya, etc. and meeting saints and sages along the way. He told me he can now do the Ngondro systematically over a few nights. Amazing feat! This looks like an interesting book to explore: http://www.amazon.com/Sleeping-Dreaming-Dying-Exploration-Consciousness/dp/0861711238

Actually when I say sentient universe, I am just talking about appearance and processes and relative interconnectivity, not some cosmic substance. Everything is relative and utterly unestablished. When I say universe manifest this, I mean relatively all the causes and conditions coming together to manifest this... when hearing sound, it is the entire body-mind, the air, the drum, the stick, the ears, the action of hitting, the person hitting, everything is manifesting this! I have to go into hearer-mode again and quote something from Dogen: it is “mustering the whole body-mind (the whole of existence-time, inclusive of “A” and “not-A”) to look at forms and listen to sounds,” It is not just you hearing sound or ears hearing sound... it is the entirety of it! Cause and effect is relative truth and therefore true relatively... and what arises relatively are ultimately empty of thingness, therefore non-arising... like a dream object, a dream house, a dream unicorn is mere D.O.ed appearance and cannot be located anywhere, or have a real arising, abidance, or disappearance.. This is the ultimate truth, which does not deny relative truth.

I think I may have gotten to the brink of a OBE but no luck so far. I have woken up from a dream, then walked across the floor and started to fly then woke up again. I think I may have had OBE's before but only straight after a dream and I have been unaware thinking I am actually awake.

Differences are relative... Ultimately everything is dream-like and empty, including nirvana. Nothing whatsoever is attained. The Diamond Sutra says arhat is no arhat therefore arhats are called arhats. Same cld be said about view, view is no view therefore its called view. Today I entered a cool state (actually it is becoming increasingly common) where I lucidly projected myself into a semi dream-state where everything I think becomes a visual (even auditory) reality and I could walk through walls etc fearlessly as I knew it is my projection. Everything I think becomes 'real'. From this it is seen that dreams are no different from waking life really. Indeed everything is just like a dream! I still can't walk through walls in waking life tho but maybe when my realization deepens I hope I wld lol

Time waits for no one and as much as we may wish to fight against a New World Order, some version of it will surely emerge and it will definitely involve the Internet of Things, digital governance, the existence of your digital facsimile online and the ability to “turn off your chip”, cut off your financial supply and freedom of movement at a digital, global level, if you are non-compliant or otherwise deemed persona non grata by some authority. This is what the Bilderbergers are banking on and this is what Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman (aka MBS) is actively building with the Neom project, as TruthStreamMedia gives us a peek at, here. Why has MBS given Saudi women the right to drive? Because, soon nobody will be driving; it will all be self-driving e-Hangs and drone cars. Everybody will only be enabled to go where their e-ID allows. We may have already heard of a futuristic, renewable energy city called Neom being planned in Saudi Arabia but few may have understood that it’s expected to be both physically and legally more like a borderless free-trade city-state that spans 10,000 square miles (25,900 square kilometers) along the barren coast of the Red Sea bordering Jordan and Egypt. What the SmartCity lacks in natural resources will be made up with in high speed wireless 5G connectivity to a Big Data platform with Artificial Intelligence that enables autonomous drones, self-driving shuttles, always-on IoT sensors, biometric identification, predictive surveillance, cameras reporting suspicious activity before crimes occur, with every tidbit of data to be collected, analyzed and repurposed for the betterment of all. In this version of the future, national borders are no longer necessary because a digital facsimile of everybody and everything – down to the garbage that you fail to recycle will exist on the Internet of Things, all the better to police and analyze your every bowel movement. Seriously. The Neom project is viewed as a new economic-development engine that will fuel innovation in bio-tech, manufacturing, and media. We learn here that Israel is a big partner with Saudi Arabia in Neom, even though the two countries are publicly not friendly. This is where we begin to understand the theatrics of all these wars, how they’re largely a means of controlling the populace through chaos and of profiteering off the armaments, mercenaries and contractors who rebuild the infrastructural devastation wrought. This is part of what Bilderbergers mean when they talk about “The Future of Work.” Forging the path of global e-governance is the cyberstate of Estonia (“e-Estonia”), where it only takes 3 minutes to calculate and pay your taxes, because all of the data is already linked and fully automated! Estonia is about to become the first country to completely integrate the IoT with real life, using a national ID card, known as the “e-ID”, that will connect with ALL of your data: personal, national, banking, medical, pharmaceutical, voting records, government transactions and legal activities. It will authenticate your online comments and enable your financial and legal transactions, including the signing of contracts, etc. – plus store all of your encryption keys online. All of your data will become a part of governmental statistical studies, as if your were a prisoner. Even crazier (and as with US convicts), they are gathering samples of all of their citizens’ DNA – and demanding that Estonians cede the rights to their own genomes! There will literally be an online data version, avatar or “sim” of all Estonians, including of their genetic makeup. Similar e-ID programs have already been rolled out in all of the Scandinavian states and France wants to be on par with Estonia by 2022. In China, where similar programs exist, people are given social scores and are not allowed to travel or put their children in private school if they express or tweet unaccepted political opinions. The rest of the world is not too far behind because this all-encompassing system of identification and taxation has been the wet dream of the Bilderbergers since the end of World War Two. I see RFID chips in my two passports. If any US readers have gotten a new driver license or state ID card recently, you’ve probably noticed that the DHS’ REAL ID Act of 2005 has altered the way the state issues your card and that the card, itself has new features. So far, 30 o the US’ 50 states are compliant, 20 states and 4 territories are on an “extension”, with only one territory, American Samoa being “non-compliant”. Apparently, the REAL ID database links to a global database. https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/bilderberg-and-the-digital-new-world-order/
