Today was a full day. I woke up with a headache this morning and it didnt go away until about an hour ago at 8pm. At work it seemed like everybody was stressed and unhappy about something, I could just feel the lower energy everywhere. I had lots to do.
Ive been cool, friendly and humorous all day.
I just started reading the sales page and noticed a number of features I recognize expressing, even after only 5 seconds which I find amazing and ridiculous in the best way.
The Open Current
Helps you recover the current underneath joy — the plain aliveness that joy runs on. As the carvings loosen, meals taste like something again. The person across from you is actually there, and so, finally, are you.
In daily life this is a slow un-dimming: moments you would have hurried past start landing at their full weight.
This one I just recently started to experience. Ive been wondering why I feel a subtle sense of passion in me. I called it passion or internal animation but I guess its “Aliveness”. I was going to write that I feel like Im running on a mild, more refined version of Joie de Vivre but its this feature, The Open Current. This is a crazy good feature. Everyday so far I wake up ‘feeling’ alive and Ive been looking for this forever.
I used to write in my journals of old that I had lost my spark and desperately needed inspiration ect because I felt dull, dead inside and without a “spark” and now, In Peace Im feeling the closest thing to it. So wild. Im really impressed by the state this scripting invokes.
Following the Grain
Cultivates the craftsman’s way of working — the one Zhuangzi’s royal cook used to keep his blade sharp for nineteen years without once sharpening it: find the seams where a task already wants to open, and go there first.
Day to day you finish with more done and less spent, because your attention has stopped grinding against resistance you were manufacturing yourself.
This one I think is showing up at work for me. I do seem to be accomplishing a bit more and yet ending up less tired than I was weeks ago while doung the same or less. A lot of internal resistance is being reduced which is restoring flow allowing me a much higher utilization and efficiency that kinda feels effortless. Kinda goes back to when I first started Peace, I said I felt lighter like the burden of my daily existence reduced. And here it is basically supporting that very statement.
The Clear Room
Helps a crowded mind empty itself — not by fighting each thought, which only multiplies them, but by simply declining to greet them at the door, at exactly the pace you’re ready for.
This shows up strongest in the last hour before sleep, when the day finally sets itself down and your mind becomes somewhere you can actually rest, instead of somewhere you’re stuck.
I literally talked about my sleep improvements earlier today and here is the reason specifically for why falling asleep got a bit easier for me. Amazing what peace of mind can do.
Trusting the Unfolding
Softens the nightly rehearsal of troubles that mostly never arrive the way you staged them. Returning is how the Tao moves — the future doesn’t need your grip on it to unfold correctly. It never did.
In daily life: shoulders down, breath moving with what’s actually in front of you, and a bedtime that stops being a negotiation with tomorrow.
I am starting to see a small decrease in held tension. Especially in face/jaw. My neck and shoulders are a work in progress but I am seeing that drop in tension, even if its temporary, its happening. Theres much less thoughts happening that would facilitate bracing. Memories that Id clench over or sit rigidly while replaying dont activate as much.
I’ve also started relaxing over wanting to add more titles or make customs. I’ll add Reforged of course but its not urgent like it would have been prior. I dont feel as rushed or in need of another fix/solution. I cant remember the last time I used one title, if at all. My first sub was Chosen From Within(experimental) that came with Chosen back in 2024 and I ran that for what, 3 weeks before adding Regeneration then Elixir back then. Lol, yeah nothing solo since. Until now, for now.
I felt like I really needed to add ARES to address this new discovery of deep shame in me. But now after writing about it and understanding its effects in my life while using Peace, the ‘power’ of it feels…less substantial. So Im kind of sitting back instead of grabbing at every possibility/tool that could be used. Thats quite a change for me, truly.
