5 minute loop of BUILD QTKS today.
Meditated right after.
Experienced some insight.
More in the vein of PHENOMENAUT, but of course these two subliminals are hand-in-hand. Inhale and Exhale.

Thoughts this morning:
Human beings are, biologically, creatures of signification and meaning-making.
This means that belief, view, narrative, and the patterns that organize them, are non-negotiable elements of what we are and what we do. These elements are fundamentally creative and open-ended. We do not, in other words, get the option to be ‘Not Creative’.
We are currently emerging from a generations-long attempt to hide these elements of ourselves behind the pretensions of/to scientific materialism. Seemingly substituting axioms, theories, and laws for a sober acceptance and taking of creative responsibility.

I’m getting some thoughts and ideas that seem to pretty clear responses to my custom; as well as some angst that may be recon.

7 min 48 sec of BUILD QTKS just now.
Meant to do a bit less originally.
Next week, I’ll switch to a week of PHENOMENAUT Genesis.

Great Spirit, Great Nature, Dear God, Great Consciousness, Great Universe,
Imbue me with the spirit of the Builder
When there is something I need, I build it
When there is something I want, I build it
When something vital is missing or absent, I smile, and prepare:
To BUILD

Played 5 minutes of PHENOMENAUT Genesis this morning,
and 6 minutes 26 seconds of the new Love Bomb just now at 5:30 pm.
This is my first loop ever of Love Bomb. Never owned it before. So, we’ll see what happens.

Not currently a member of the open third-eye club, but it really did seem that my aura was affected after my Love Bomb loop 2 hours ago. I walked the three miles home from work, the circulation from which I imagine was probably also good for aura effects.
A child unconsciously walked towards me. The older woman working at the checkout (stopped to by some sushi, etc.) smiled and said kind words. Seemed to notice friendly, if distant, attention from others. How interesting.

Son has two days off from my school for parent-teacher-student meetings. We signed up for one by Zoom at 9:45 am.
Was able to do a morning meditation from 8:38 to 9:38, and then went over to the computer to have the meeting.
Today will be another PHENOMENAUT Genesis day. 5 minutes? or more? We’ll see. I’m leaning towards 7.
And I’ll most likely play Love Bomb again. The second time.

Yup. Stuck with 5 minutes.
And actually got some further movement on some insights afterwards.
Amazing.

I was thinking earlier today about a three-part framework for my vocation/life work.
There’s the ‘intellectual’ component: anthropological and psychological perspectives, phenomenological perspectives, religious and philosophical perspectives. Just trying to learn responsible, grown-up, and sufficiently accommodative frameworks for contextualizing and ‘making sense of’ things.
There’s the contemplative, experiential component. The ongoing deepening, expansion, exploration, and development of felt experiences of being alive in the world as a consciousness. This is the meditation part.
There’s the healing and therapeutic part. Developing the skills and knowledge to support and facilitate wellbeing in other beings where possible.
I was noticing that these correspond fairly well to Ken Wilber’s notions of Growing Up, Waking Up/Cleaning Up, and Showing Up.
And I am continuing to think about how to build, arrange, and approach my life and my interactions so as to make a proper space for these parts of my version of a meaningful, engaged life.
Just want to put this in my journal before I forget what ‘insights’ I was specifically referring to in the previous post (as sometimes happens).

I lead a group of 10 people through a kind of training/learning experience on Thursday nights. Tonight at the very end, I asked them to break into 5 pairs.
As I watched them earnestly and intently working together, I felt this warm sense of being moved. I felt a warm pride in their sincerity and the value embodied in their attention and altruism. It just hit me now a couple of hours later, that that was love.
Love Bomb.

A flow of ontological, ‘spiritual’ shifts happened for me in the late 90s to early 00s. That was just before I got married and started a family. They started to slow down and drop off after that. Understandable, as the emphasis was now upon stability and solidity. Contemplative practices can sometimes be like ingesting hallucinogenic drugs. Not always the best combination with family building and householding.
The period of 98 to 99 was particularly intense in its way, and one of the really pivotal and important openings happened then. There was this moment of perceiving that there is nothing non-miraculous and that we do not actually understand anything. We can describe repeating patterns, which is essentially what we have done, and to great effect, but beneath that, around that, above that, is a fundamental unknownness.
Was going to write something else, but the idea’s gone for now. Maybe it will come back later.

Eventually, I always come back to Cesar Millan videos. It’s hard to think of a better example of someone whose money is where their mouth is.
His career is built in the No Bullshit zone.
