Current Stack: EoG Stage 2 + RoW
The journal returns.
I haven’t had the time or circumstances to run titles for a long time – I generally can only do 30 days while testing, but we’ve decided that in 2025, at least one of us needs to follow the same journey as everyone else.
One of the misconceptions that people have is that we’re running some kind of advanced version of various titles. That is not the case. The released versions of the titles are the optimized ones, and thus as part of this exploration (outside of testing new products and tech), I will be running the exact same versions that you all are, without any modification. I may decide to run a custom later, but it will be built using the exact same modules that everyone has access to without modification.
That being said, I had my first “manifestation” yesterday on EoG St. 2 + RoW. We’ve been dealing with some annoying tax issues. First, our accountant shut down unceremoniously (it actually made national news), and then… two weeks later reopened? Eh.
Anyway, the second issue is the larger one. At some point, PayPal decided to report company income on our PERSONAL TAXES rather than the business, leading the IRS underreporting department to send us proposed bills around $29k. The issue is, the company paid taxes on that PayPal income, so there’s NO WAY that I’m going to double pay.
For literal months, I have sat on the phone with the IRS trying to resolve this. The IRS consumer department would transfer me to the business department, business department would send me to underreporting, underreporting would send me back to consumer. It was a nightmare, and I just gave up around December, planning to just hire a tax attorney to deal with it.
Yesterday, I had this intuitive hit to call the IRS again. And so I did. Once again, I ended up on hold for over an hour, but the lady was very nice and supportive. She finally said she would transfer me to a colleague of hers that had been with the IRS for 30 years.
Everyone.
This man was an absolute godsend. He even sounded like a “Legend of Bagger Vance” individual, with a deep, calming voice and was able to explain the situation in great detail, ending with: Oh, yeah – this is common with PayPal, we’ve received this complaint before. Have your accountant send a letter on official letterhead stating the situation and FAX it directly to me and I will personally take care of this, since looking at your IRS account, I can see you’re telling the truth.
Mouth dropped to the floor. I have never had good interactions with the IRS and while I’m reluctant to even attribute it to the title (this is why we’re doing this experiment, so we can understand why some people will “argue away” results – here I am, about to do it myself, way to go Saint), I cannot reasonably say that it wasn’t involved. Maybe it was my own calm, comfortable and yet assertive tone in speaking with the first lady, showing a bit of vulnerability that pulled at her own empathy, or maybe there is some kind of acasual link.
It’s not that we don’t believe in acasual links, we do – we even have a “practical” model of how manifestations work that we can elaborate on later (think, electricity returning the source in a closed electronic circuit system). We just prefer for results to be grounded with a casual link, since that helps people understand their issues and take action on them. But still. Part of this experiment is the expansion of consciousness, awareness and understanding, which will help us make better decisions.
So, there is a perfectly logical explanation of how this could’ve happened practically. Perhaps the sub helped me subdue my absolute frustration and anger at this situation, which would’ve put the first lady on edge and because I was leading with the heart and just put myself out there, she felt inclined to help me.
Who knows?
I just know that I dealt with the IRS all late last year and was about to rage and this time, things just went different.
