I would like to know about Cultists experience on self remembering
I have had moments where I could experience it, but because of my laziness and other things that have troubled me, I have not felt it for a long time.
Also I would like to know about techniques that can be used on this matter.

For me, it feels free, or at least more free than the lower level of mere 'waking consciousness'. At the very least it has a lighter feeling that I've dropped something I didn't know I was carrying until I let go of it. At the other end, it feels like a shifting up gears in a car; first there's the moment of free-floating deceleration and then the gear 'catches' 'in the now', immediately followed by the feeling that I'm moving under my own power. Depending on how the moons are arranged at any given moment in combination with unknown forces of esoteric voodoo it also can have the feeling of clean air rushing into a smoke-filled room; or a forest with noisy crickets at night quieting down at morning; or being underwater and then breaking the surface and being able to breathe. In general it has the feeling of having more space, as if the walls of a room I'm in moved further away. Here's the slightly unorthodox textbook theory: Everybody is two people. The first is who you are and the second is who you think you are. The first is your existential self, which is you, thinking and feeling in real time, right now. The second exists as something you imagine or think about. It's a thing, not a you. Self-remembering is the degree of non-identification with your secondary, imaginary self. If you imagine yourself dancing the funky chicken you are seeing your second self. You're most likely not identified with this imaginary you because you're most likely aware you're the one creating the imaginary you. Because you're aware that you're the one doing it, not only are you aware, you're self-aware. This highlights why it's important to remember yourself rather than think about remembering yourself. To remember yourself is to remember your real, existential self flowing in the now. If you just think about remembering yourself, you are likely to imagine yourself remembering yourself just as you imagined yourself doing the funky chicken, with the exception that you don't realize that the real you is the one creating the imaginary image and not the imaginary image itself. In a way, self-remembering happens at the moment that your neck snaps at the end of the hangman's noose, except that at that moment you realize that that your real, existential self is the hangman executing your imaginary self. The Gospels Jesus repeatedly says "Blessed are they that lose their lives, for they shall find it." In the song I posted in your thread, the equivalent lyrics are "What is it really that's in your head, what little life you had just died. I'm going to be the one who's taking over, that's what it's like when worlds collide!" The song / video is a blueprint of this moment and things surrounding it. Notice the ruler uses a ring (an artifice) while Spider One counters the force from the ring by force from his hands ( from his real self. ) (Also note the Work-idea expressed by TITTIES! ) CKY's (camp kill yourself) version is the song "As the Tables Turn" -- "Now it's dramatic to be your own disguise, when the butcher's hand is mine." Steve Miller Band's "Wide River" is much more mellow but about the same thing. And for fun, there's Billy Idol's "Shock to the System" Tech doc come soon.

Awake Remember your body : feel your clothes on your skin, remember to feel the ground under your feet, the air in your lungs. Remember your emotions and your intellect : remember who you are, where you are, why. Remember what makes you happy, remember your life and your goal. Remember the Void !
Once you succeed to remember all this altogether, you got it, self-remembering.
And NOW is the time of Awakening (not tomorrow)

Thank you, this is very helpful and shows me that I can for sure relate to others experiences, I have felt this way like floating on some different level, that is my experience and I am glad to find that others describe it in the same way.
Now back to work, much to do and things to complete
Awake

I recently re-read "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. They're a bit like self-remembering creeper weed. I highly recommend them. Yes, you did just read 'self-remembering creeper weed.'
