Welcome to Getting Lucid. Our goal here is to investigate our highest human potential. We’ll explore topics like mysticism, extrasensory perception (ESP), consciousness (including altered/elevated states of consciousness), intuition, spirituality, manifestation, meditation, breathwork, etc. We’ll aim to establish an everyday actionable practice of these topics that is accessible to all.

My name is Kushawn, I began Getting Lucid in 2015, initially because of an interest in lucid dreaming. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and I have studied and have a deep interest in consciousness and human potential. I’ve had a consistent meditation practice since a teenager and learned Transcendental Meditation in 2014. I have traveled to India in 2016 to further learn meditation. On this trip I lived in a Monastery (Ashram) with Monks in Northern India for many months. This greatly deepened my meditation practice and sparked even more of a curiousity of human potential. All this has led to the creation of this blog. This blog will be a documentation of my investigation of human potential. 

In closing I would like to share my favourite quote from the novel “Demain” by Hermann Hesse (who also wrote my favourite novel “Siddhartha”).

“I cannot call myself a scholar. I have always been and still am a seeker but I no longer do my seeking among the stars or in books. I am beginning to hear the lessons which whisper in my blood. Mine is not a pleasant story, it does not posses the gentle harmony of invented tales; like the lives of all men who have given up trying to deceive themselves, it is a mixture of nonsense and chaos, madness and dreams.”
