Specifically on how to lucid dream/astral project. I've read about the trick that is the white light and the field around the earth that prevents souls from breaking free.

I think that explaining the existence of the phenomenal world as some kind of privation, mistake, error, or catastrophe presents a more rational view of a benevolent God even if He has somehow allowed such a schism to occur

The idea that God actively set about making this world and all of the utterly unhappy creatures within it, and thought that doing this was a good thing, becomes more and more reprehensible the further it's thought out; to seriously affirm that God considers human trafficking, children dying of cancer, sex slaves being kidnapped and raped to death, and millions of families being genocided to be necessary for the purposes of some nebulous "greater good" or equally unfathomable eschatological plot - and to bow before this deity in spite of it - is functionally equivalent to worshipping an arch-fiend, a monstrous demon of infinite malignity whose sheer depravity and malevolent intent makes Moloch look like an angel

Ivan Karamazov was right to consider the "God needs evil to bring about a greater good" excuse to be pernicious twaddle

Books on escaping the matrix/whatever you want to call it that opt for a more practical approach rather than a merely descriptive one?
