Portal to Equestria

[J.R. 3,182]

One Can Dream... Maybe one day we'll be advanced enough to create our own Equestria. imagine if we could just plug ourselves into a computer generated land with Ponies that are programmed to do what the real MLP:FiM ponies would do.

(Im not High, just very tired)

That's a good idea! Yes let's do that!

[Confucius 194]

Just remember, the cake is a lie.  :okiedokielokie:

[Hocus Pocus 636]

As fun as it would be, I don't really think that Equestria could exist.... not even if I believed Multiverse theory (in which there is a new universe for every decision you make, or every thing that happens). The problem is that Equestria has magic, and all universes in the multiverse still have to follow our laws of physics... But again, I don't really believe in multiverse theory for other reasons of which I won't go into detail.

 

If there were any possibility of Equestria existing, it would probably be explainable through the double-slit experiment (an experiment in which results differed depending on whether or not the experiment was being observed, resulting in the theory that our laws of physics and logic may not apply when nothing is observing them). Essentially, Equestria would disappear the moment you looked at it. Outside your door right now could be Equestria, or heck, right behind you, Fluttershy herself could be standing right now, but the moment you open that door or look over your shoulder and observe reality, it all goes away in place of our own reality... Sort of like the old question "If a tree falls in the forest and nopony's around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

 

Your best bet for visiting Equestria I'd say is through Tabletop RPGs..... because I'm obsessed with Pathfinder....

 

Just build a setting around the MLP universe, and there you have it. If it's a narrative based Tabletop (such as D&D or Pathfinder) you can essentially do whatever you want, with a fair chance of passing or failing depending on your skill set as a character (Because there's a skill check for every possible action you might want to take, even the things nopony would think of). With a good enough DM, it'll be the next best thing to actually being in Equestria.

i think it would be down right close to impossible, the energy you would need to open up a portal into another world would be MASSIVE, and because there are an infinate number of alternate universes the big problem would be finding equestria out of the INFINATE number of different worlds, you could litterally try TRILLIONS of different worlds and never find the right one, you could spend your whole life looking and never come across the right one, and if you DID then hope that the portal does no kill you or turn into a black hole that swallows the earth. I have thought of opening a portal to equestria to, but the tech and science to do it is beyond what mankind can do right now.

[whitetiger187 197]

In My Little Dashie, princess Celestia already knows about our world's existence and has the ability to come here if she wishes (Being a goddess and all.) If she would work things on her end with her magic, then maybe....

[WriteCodes46 178]

If anyone actually believes this to be even remotely possible, in any way, shape or form, they should get off the alcohol, dope, shrooms, ecstasy, crack, amphetamines, NOS, Vicodin, gas fumes, binaural beats, hypnosis, tulpas, etc. And if you believe that you have the key for such a thing, you should get checked for delusional disorders.

 

But what you can try is, while watching and episode of MLP FiM (or G3, if that's your thing) take a shitload of hallucinogens (like the ones listed above, but try not to OD or wreck your mind), and let yourself go for the trip, it should be the same from your perspective, which is all that matters.

 

But if this actually ever becomes possible during my lifetime, I'd rather blow my brains out than risk the remote chance of being thrown in Equestria and becoming a colorful midget horse (a large throughout bred is my absolute limit).

Faith, trust, and pixie dust. Seriously, the best/closest way you'll get to Equestria is with some really high quality software and a virtual reality helmet. Technology is about the only way we can make the unreal as real as they can get.

[Chronamut 355]

in my spiritual knowledge we have something called the "Ackashic Records" - they are a record of all that has ever transpired in any dimension, any parallel, ever.

 

It is stated that people do not have imagination - all that they think or imagine is actually pulled from the ackashic records - sort of like graphics in a video game being pulled from existing code. Thus my little pony is most likely referenced from an actual event somewhere in history, simply candy coated with ponies.

 

So basically you can take several different elements from history and frankenstein them together, and you are left with references to history, which you think is "imagination" in a result you find appealing.

 

This also explains why if you have had an idea, and you google it, most people have already thought of it. Our ideas are not unique, but how we apply them can be.

 

For example cupcakes have existed for ever, but I can choose to make rock sculptures showcasing cupcakes, or throw them at someones head - this takes the concept of the "cupcake" and applies your own concept to it.

 

So if you look at the events IN equestria, you might be able to find a reality where those concepts were pulled from. Heck those concepts might even be here on earth, some of them.

 

anything you "create" can be a "reality" - but a cartoon is in itself a reality- you view it and things happen - not all realities are things you can visit. I can write a reality where panda bears with trees for arms inhabit the planet of pandatreeia - doesn't mean it exists as a place - just as a "constructed concept".

Take a 2-liter of coke, 6 rolls of mentos, wrap them in alluminum foil and stick them in the microwave for 10 minutes and voila.

[Broken Gear 29]

Well... I mixed a monster energy with strong coffee and alcohol once. It didn't transport me to Equestria but all colours seemed more like in the show and I'm pretty sure I might believed I turned into a pony for a second. Downside was headache and LITERAL heartache. Like, I'm not even joking my heart hurt until next day. Mind I was also in right mindset so that probably was a factor as well.

[Varrack 1,080]

It exists, not as a place, but as a shared concept. So no, you can't really visit it here on Earth, but if you know how to lucid dream you can. You can also create a virtual reality of it via computer software. That's all I can think of :/

[ChrysalisM 263]

My parents taught me this, and it's nice to find someone that believes! I've been mentally making focuses to get myself there including writing up a physical document giving me the right to go to equestria. It worked to some extent as I had a dream which when i interpreted it,  it seemed like something saw through that very quickly. I oddly have had more dreams since I started tucking it under my pillow.

not christian but spiritual. My mom says I'd get called a heathen if I mention that Christ was l most likely born more around march, and that they changed the date to convince the pagans to stop celebrating the solstice and convert to christianity.

But it is! Have you even tried to look it up? ;-J Here's a map.

 

OK, OK, I know that this is not the same Equestria the OP had on mind. But bear with me.

 

 

True. But this alone doesn't stop from getting there yet. I'll explain shortly.

 

 

 

 

 

So much defeatism... :/ I thought this fandom is more creative-thinking and open-minded ;-J

 

 

Much better.

 

 

But you can! I've been there several times already. With all seriousness! (Cross my hear and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye ) I'll explain it all to you shortly

 

 

True. But at least you see that it's not impossible in general -- it's just a matter of our limited technology and imagination. This is a good path. See the next answer.

 

 

I read tons of physics textbooks but I haven't found a squat about making portals in any of them.

What does it mean to me? That making portals is physically impossible?

No!

It just means that this is not a physics problem! :> A very different kind of "technology" is required. One which is not much investigated in our world yet. This "technology" is... Magic :>

 

 

Oh, another Traveler? Brohoof to you :>

 

 

Done

Division by zero and what I called "Creative Numbers" is a mathematical way to describe it, because creative power (or Magic) and the technique called "imagination" (introducing Magic into business) is what is needed (as I've already said).

 

Another close guess. You're on the right track, but trust me, no LSD or shrooms are needed. They're just "external inducers".

 

 

Maretrix

Another close guess, but computer-brain interfaces aren't needed too.

 

 

BINGO! :>

 

OK, so here's a good place for my explanation:

 

HOW TO MAKE A PORTAL TO EQUESTRIA -- A SHORT TUTORIAL

 

As I already said, physics and science we know is of no help here, because physics deals only with material things, and there are lots of things which are outside this domain, ideas and imagination included. We need much more advanced technology, which transcends beyond physics. We need Magic.

 

In our "modern" world, technology is based mostly on electromagnetism, which is only a narrow range of reality. Even quantum mechanics is not yet ready for such things, since physicists doesn't quite understand yet that our physical world is made of vibrations and waves of empty space itself. They have gotten rid of Ether, which was the last hope for any understanding of Magic of Harmony ;-/ Fortunately there were, and there still are, some exceptional dreamers who still investigate these Etheric Sciences (like me, for example).

 

In more ancient times, there was an advanced science called Alchemy, which dealt with this kind of Magic. It has been used in Ancient Egypt to transmute matter (including biological bodies) and travel in space to distant stars, faster than light (with the speed of thought). It has been used in Ancient India for remote viewing distant regions of the Cosmos. It has been used by Ancient Mayas, too. But it has always been a secret, forbidden science. Some aborigin tribes are still using these tricks.

 

The guesses of @@SwigglySwiggly about LSD/shroom hallucinations, and of @@Rarity34 about Matrix-like technology to interface computer simulation with our brains, were very close.

Why?

Because they match quite well the beliefs of Hopi & Yaqui Endian tribes, as described by Carlos Castaneda in his books, especially in "The Art of Dreaming".

 

Yaqui Endians believe that our conscious mind is a point of light which is connected by threads of light with everything else in the Universe (and when you know some fringe physics, you know that there's much truth in it: there are waves which travel in space between all atoms in the Universe and transfer energy/information between them all the time). All those threads pass through that point, but some of them also pass around it. Depending on which threads pass through it, we perceive different parts of reality. Yaqui Shamans train their minds in extending this "point of connection" (as they call it) to let them see more, and moving this point in space to see different realities in altered states of consciousness. When they master these techniques of "Dreaming" (as they call it), they can use their "dream bodies" to perceive different parts of reality, to travel to distant places, or even different worlds, and sometimes even "Daydream", which means that they can alter reality; they can introduce other people to their Dreaming, and alter what they perceive. Somewhat similar to mass hypnosis, but it is real for those who participate in this Dreaming state.

 

Different drugs (mostly natural, from plants and mushrooms) can be used to initiate this process for people who aren't skilled in it yet, or when their "point of connection" is fixed in one place of reality too much (as in our Western civilization). Don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Shaman, used these on Carlos Castaneda to introduce him into Dreaming, until he learned to do it himself without any external help. But other techniques can be used for it too, like hypnosis, sensory deprivation, meditation etc. Even some futuristic technology, like in "The Matrix" movie. But the point is that these are just prosthetics; everything you need for "traveling without moving" you already have: it is your own mind.

 

So my first step in creating portal to Equestria was to establish a communication link. This has been already proposed here on these forums, so I just used this technique to send a letter to Princess Luna.

 

Why Princess Luna? Because she's the Princess of the Night and she knows a lot about Dreaming And that was what I needed. So here's the letter I sent her:

 

Dear Princess Luna.

I know that you know a lot about this long-forgotten ancient Magic of Dreaming, which allows our minds to travel to different worlds. I already used this technique in the past to visit other worlds, and I've been in Equestria several times that way too. But I'm looking for a way to create a portal to Equestria which other people could use. Can you explain this type of Magic to my friends, so that they could understand it and employ in their lives too?

Your faithful student

-- SasQ (also known as Double Rainwave when in Equestria)

 

and here's what she answered:

 

Dear SasQ.

I was very surprised that you wrote to me, because no pony have ever written to me before! They always write only to Celestia ;/ You are the first one who wrote to me. I very appreciate that.

As to your problem:

You're right, Dreaming is the way to go. I visit the dreams of other ponies very often, and they usually don't even know they're dreaming. They have such a power, but they don't know about it! Can you imagine? If only they knew they could have more control over their dreams if they knew they are dreaming...

The art of Conscious Dreaming, or Lucid Dreaming, can be learned, trained and mastered. But it is not always easy, and it requires one to change one's views on reality 180 degrees. One needs to understand that there is absolutely no difference between dreams and reality.

Yes, there are things one cannot do when being in what one calls the "real" or "physical" world, but this is just an effect of tuning in to this particular set of laws and frequencies of the Threads of Light. When one resonates on the same frequency as a wall, one cannot pass through it. But the art of Dreaming is all about learning to shift your frequencies to tune in to different realities, with their own sets of laws, which can be different than in the physical world.

But there's absolutely no difference for the conscious mind itself which reality it perceives. Dreams can be as real as in the "waking state" (nipping yourself to find out if you're dreaming is a bad idea, because you'll feel it the same way in a dream as in the "real world"). When you're "awake", your mind simply tunes in to the "physical world" and creates images of it inside your head; a projection. It's still an illusion (yeah, there aren't any colors in the "real world", it's your brain which creates this perception), even if based on external stimuli. You're simply "dreaming yourself into the physical world". And in the same way you can "dream yourself into" any other different world you like.

I hope it answers your question.

Sweet dreams!

-- Luna, Princess of the Night

 

This was a great explanation to me. But it wasn't enough, because there wasn't any concrete examples and techniques one can use right away. Fortunately, I'm a longstanding Dreamer, so I can fill the gaps Luna has left open and explain you some techniques I know.

 

First of all, Luna made a good point that the key is to understand that there's no difference between the dream state and waking state. Ancient Tibetan monks knew that very well and they described it in the Tibetan Dream Yoga or Milam. They practiced different exercises which were meant to let them realize this statement.

 

One of these techniques is so called "Reality Testing" (or RT in short).

How do you know you're not dreaming just now? :> If you were in a dream, you probably wouldn't know about it; you'd think that all that is happening right now is for real. That's exactly the point: When in dream, your mind doesn't have any clue to find out that this is a dream, because it feels exactly the same as in the "real world". True, there could happen some bizarre things, but if this fits the convention of the dream, you'll think this is fine and dandy. That's what Reality Tests are for.

 

If this were a dream, how could you find out about it? What would you do if you could do anything? Read carefully what I write now, remember it, and then stop reading for a while and make this exercise before reading again:

Stop reading and look around yourself carefully. What do you see? How real is it? Could it be a dream? You can feel something strange when doing this exercise, then focus on that feeling and try to strengthen it. You can stop breathing for several seconds to emphasize this feeling. You can touch some objects around you to feel their surface. Focus on the perception you have. How much real it feels? Could it be a dream? What would you do if it were a dream?

 

There are certain things you can do in a dream which you cannot do when in real life. E.g. putting your hand/hoof into a wall/desk, or changing a color/shape of something by mere looking at it, etc. But beware, sometimes you won't be able to do these things in a dream, too! So don't depend on them too much! Reality test can actually fool you when you're in a dream that you aren't. That's why you should never do a RT when you already know you're in a dream! These tests are meant to be performed when awake, to teach your mind questioning reality -- a skill which would be very useful when in a dream state. They're also there to teach your mind that there's not much difference between dreams and reality. They're both equally real, or equally unreal if you like.

 

Repeat those tests as many times during the day as you can. You can make yourself some reminder. I, for one, use Ingwaz, a Rune of Dreams, inscribed on my hand (on the skin between the thumb and pointing finger):

I received this mark in a dream from an Endian, and whenever I see it, it reminds me how it feels like to be in a dream, and that I might be dreaming now, so I look around carefully, trying to spot anything unfitting. Even if I don't, I still try to imagine what would I do if this were a dream, to train my mind in dealing with the dream state.

 

I was very surprised and amazed when I saw that Twilight Sparkle uses this rune, too, in Equestria Girls, when visiting another world. Look at her boots:

Is it possible that the creators of EqG know something about this forgotten art of Dreaming? :> Who knows... :-J

 

There are many other techniques you can use to train Conscious/Lucid Dreaming yourself. Once I made a website about that, unfortunately it's only in Polish. Maybe I'll translate it someday to English too if I find some free time. But look around over the Internet, you will probably find many resources on that subject. That's how I learned all this stuff.

 

As I've said, I've been in Equestria several times already, using these techniques. Everyone can learn the Art of Dreaming, having enough patience. And the ability to go to Equestria and visit your favorite ponies is worth the effort, am I right? ;-J

 

 

I cracked at point 1

used the dreaming rune on a letter to luna, leave it in plain sight while I go away for a few moments and it vanishes. No explanation.
