Good find.

I have found that lucid people have several qualities that contribute to heightened awareness. One, they have a reason to try to crack the cosmic egg. Usually it is because they are frustrated with the given explanation of life conditions and purpose (Almost always precipitated by life in crisis). The sixties drug culture kind of pushed that conscious raising attitude; and, the true seekers probably benefitted. The party animals just got more wasted. Two, a method of seeking lucidity. Three, unsheltered involvement.

BTW, I watched K-Pax last night. The movie had a Trot (Kevin Spacy) was being questioned by the psychiatrist (Jeff Bridges) about K-Pax society. Trot said their were no laws on K-Pax. The psychiatrist wanted to know how people determined what was right from wrong. Trot stated matter-of-factly, that every creature knows what is right and what is wrong. I thought that was cool. We waste a lot of energy trying to prove the unprovable-self-evident. So, was Trot really the tormented human 'Robert' or was he an actual alien?
