Roman Catholic Church Altar – Duhamel, Alberta
For a number of years I have been researching the use of lucid dreaming (an alternate consciousness) for the purpose of expanding my awareness and self development. It has been very challenging to gain the necessary techniques and my results with lucid dreaming are still not consistent or to my satisfaction. I have also researched hypnosis, meditation, chanting and am now including breath work techniques and the use of psychedelics.
My purpose for accessing my alternate consciousness has increased from just self-improvement, to include better health and expanded spiritualism. My mother raised us as strong Roman Catholics but by the time I was 19 I had lost my faith. On occasion over the next 55 years I attempted to re-establish a faith in religion, but although “my heart was open”, I was unsuccessful.
Now, at 77 years, health and spiritualism are of great interest. Thru research and experimentation I am seeing more of a connection between lucid dreaming, breath work, meditation, OOBE’s and psychedelics with religion (spiritualism).

strongly reminded me of my youth as altar-boy at the Duhamel Roman Catholic Church. At the age of 8 I had the duty of serving altarboy at the funeral of Janet Kienast in 1951. To me it was a great privilege of holding the thurbile which contained a burning piece of charcoal covered by Frankincense. As I waved the thurbile thick Frankincense smoke filled the air and I had a strong feeling of contentment and being a little light-headed. That memory has remained with me and I still love the smell of Frankincense.
At Duhamel, my brothers (Harvey, Beverly, Louie) and I were altar boys at a young age. The middle boy is carrying the thurbile with frankincense smoke raising to heaven with our prayers.

Religion and Health Authorities no longer are the sole provider of answers to my questions and I have a renewed faith in my internal doctor and soul which I can access through an alternate consciousness. My belief are open to change through research and experience as I take this path of discovery.

Incredible article Roger!
Previously, I was happy with your website that featured something that is not known to many people, especially about Lucid Dream. And in this article, back again, you successfully gave me a “mind-blowing”.
During this time, I feel that Frankincense does not have any effect other than just smoke that has a smell. It turns out that behind it, Frankincense can provide a Psychoactive Antidepressant effect. However, the question is, does Frankincense have special regulations?
Apart from that, can Frankincense be used as a support for Lucid Dream in the future to find other new things?
Hi Kylie,
I appreciate your feedback. At this time I don’t know of any regulation regarding the use of Frankincense. It is available at any provider of incense with no questions asked or forms to be completed.
I will be doing more experimenting with the use of Frankincense to see if has a positive effect on lucid dreaming.

Hey Roger, Thank you for writing on Spiritualism and Frankincense (a Psychoactive Antidepressant). I enjoyed your article while and find your story interesting. You are still working on it. The results are different for each person. If we do meditation we each will get different results because of our different mind set. I found your belief are open to change through research and experience as I take this path of discovery. Thank you..

Hi Parveen,
You are right. I now have a very small THURBILE, and some CHARCOAL & FRANKINCENSE and will be doing more research.
