I have been working very hard during the day to remember myself but I have not been successful in waking in my dream state.
There are devices which will help you recognize the REM state with blinking lights at voice prompts. I am very tempted to try this.
Please tell me your opinion.

"We have been wisely told that we have ninety-seven percent of subconsciousness and three percent of Consciousness.

Plainly and bluntly speaking, we shall state that ninety-seven percent of the Essence that we carry within ourselves is bottled up, stuffed, inserted within each one of the “I’s,” which in their conjunction constitute the “myself.”

Obviously, the Essence, or Consciousness, bottled up within each “I,” processes itself in accordance to its condition.

A determined percentage of Consciousness is liberated when any “I” is disintegrated. Hence, the emancipation or liberation of the Essence or Consciousness without the disintegration of each “I” is impossible.

The greater the quantity of disintegrated “I’s,” the greater the degree of Self-cognizance. The lesser the quantity of disintegrated “I’s,” the lesser the percentage of awakened Consciousness.

Therefore, the awakening of Consciousness is only possible by dissolving the “I,” by dying in oneself, here and now.

Unquestionably, as long as the Essence or Consciousness continues bottled up within each one of the “I’s” that we carry within our interior, it will always be asleep, in a subconscious state.

It is urgent to transform the subconsciousness into Consciousness. This is only possible by annihilating the “I’s,” by dying within ourselves.

So, it is impossible to awaken without first having died within ourselves.

Those who try to awaken first and then die do not possess a real experience of what they affirm. They advance resolutely on the path of error" - Samael Aun Weor

I wouldn't recommend using such devices.

There are so many techniques and mantras given throughout the works of Samael Aun Weor for achieving astral projection and lucid dreaming. It takes some experimentation to find what works and resonates with you best. When you chose a technique or mantra to work with, practice consistently.

The more you work with and awaken your consciousness during the day, the more likely you are to do so during the hours of sleep.

The Master gives the technique of S.O.L. for achieving lucid dreaming. See the reference below.

That's what I thought you would say.

I have just worked so hard and cannot seem to get anywhere.

I have no choice but to forge forward, but I have not had any kind of real experiential knowledge that would impel me to continue the effort.

It's mainly for fear of despair and want of any better answer that I continue on this path...

Thanks for your help.

It is impossible to be awakened in the superior worlds if here in this cellular, physical, material world the aspirant is asleep. Whosoever wants to awaken their consciousness in the internal worlds must awaken here and now in this dense world.

If the consciousness of the aspirant has not awakened here, in this physical world, much less it is awakened in the superior worlds.

Whosoever awakens their consciousness here and now awakens everywhere. Whosoever awakens their consciousness here in this physical world, in fact and by their own right become awakened in the superior worlds.

Refine your self-awareness continually, and astral projection will no longer be a problem. That is, rather than having your spiritual focus be on your experience of the internal worlds, put your focus on how you are, and who you are, here and now.

I realize this sounds silly to argue with you.

I just know that in everything which is said I have attempted to do 'super efforts' consistently. I strive to be 'awake here and now', to 'remember my being', to record my dreams, say mantras before sleep, go to sleep in the lions position, save my energy, etc etc. It just becomes to seem futile after toiling away and seeing no progress that would approach 'gnosis'.

I had a vasectomy for one year, and had it surgically reversed. I know what is said about 'destroying the hermetic glass'. I just have hoped and prayed that somehow my surgical reversal could restore me to some kind of normal.

Could this be part of the explanation for my failures?

this should help. You could have karma that is holding you back from experience, but as samael said "with pererverence and seriousness you will succeed whether it takles a week, a month or years".

Question: A "Damaged Hermetic Glass" is irreversible. What do you think such person should do with their life - in respect of their inner development?
A Gnostic Instructor wrote:
There is a lot one can still do. Runes, vocalization and the comprehension of oneself through meditation for example.

Your Divine Mother is always with you no matter if your glass is damaged. If one struggles and sacrifices to work on oneself, the Divine Mother has compassion for her child and helps them.

Many Gnostics prior to entering the Path damaged their sexual organs through ignorance or because of the erroneous advice given to them by the so-called doctors of today.

But they continue in their psychological work and are succeeding in truly knowing themselves. Based upon that, the Law will give them another opportunity to return with a healthy body so that they can continue their inner development in their next life.Samael Aun Weor in The Aquarian Message wrote:
If you are already an elderly woman, if you can no longer have sexual contact, if you are already an old man, if you are sick, if you comprehend that your physical vehicle is no longer worthy in order to work with the Arcanum A.Z.F., then you must train yourself for Astral travel, that is to say, you must learn to consciously travel in the Astral Body.

So my child, prepare yourself with concentration, meditation, and adoration. Be chaste in thought, word, and deed. Comprehend your errors; annihilate not only desire, but even the very shadow of desire. Thus my child, prepare yourself with creative comprehension, and postpone your work with the Arcanum A.Z.F. for your future reincarnation.

Are you an old man? Are you an old woman? Are you an invalid? Then do not be disappointed, beloved child. Do not fill yourself with affliction, because in your future reincarnation you can work with the Arcanum A.Z.F., and you will convert yourselves into Gods.

Nevertheless, if you are full of youth, if you are not impotent, if you are a complete male or female and you reject the Great Arcanum in order to keep fornicating and you hide yourself within the speculations of your mind, then unhappiness to you, woe to you! Woe! Woe! Woe! It would be better for you not to have been born, because now you will inevitably tumble into the abyss.A Gnostic Instructor wrote:
Male Gnostic disciples who have had a vasectomy can acquire the Nine Initiations of Minor Mysteries and can disintegrate their ego through sexual alchemy; this is how they prepare themselves with chastity and creative comprehension in order to finish their work with the Sacred Arcanum in their next reincarnation.
