Okay. Once more with feeling:
(‘Vocation’ (from: vocare) literally means ‘Calling’. The Soul’s Call. The path to follow in this life. One’s productive mission arising from the soul.)

8 days into my 25 day washout.
One thing that I’m doing is reviewing the descriptions of the programs that I’m running.
This morning I re-listened to the program descriptions of The Revelation of Mind, The Revelation of Spirit, and Genesis.
Struck by:
How powerful the programs are
How perfectly they align with my goals and aspirations
Within the range of our experiences, our personalities, our resources, our intelligence; we do the best we can to navigate and deal with these conditions of life.
We learn, we grow; hopefully, we transcend.
I think I definitely got some bloom today. Maybe it’s still going.
I found myself thinking in a more substantive way about what I can do/would like to do. Business-wise and Next-Steps-wise.
Really makes me think.
My last loops were on Saturday March 30. I played 2 15-minute loops of both customs, for the first time. And now, 9 days later, I felt a beneficial effect.
Fire’s been talking a lot about finding the sweet spot of exposure durations and intervals.
I don’t know.
Just thinking.
Did you record the program descriptions yourself?
And do you imply, that, maybe, your sweetspot is one full loop every nine days?
At least with your two customs?
That I did. I’ve lost track of how many of those I’ve recorded.
And unlike most things that I record, I actually go back and listen to some of these.
‘Imply’ is a little strong. It suggests that I know the answer. 
Which, for now, I don’t.
I’m really just thinking about it and trying to understand more.
But another interpretation could be that it’s just bloom.
I’ve also had the experience of playing a 1-minute micro-loop of one of my customs and experiencing a mild but noticeable response a couple of hours later.
The whole thing feels kind of dynamic to me, at the moment. It’s growing and changing; hasn’t yet reached a ‘steady state’.
Come 25 April, I’ll re-engage with the programs and see where things seem to be at that time.
Happy Eclipse (not-)Day?
Noticed a significant yet mellow, unexpected leap in meditation in this morning’s session.
That’s an inspiring idea! Great writing, though. Thanks for sharing.
Was still in my office at 7 pm so I did them here. Wondered if anyone was watching through the window from the building that is across the road from mine.
Anyway, am happy I got it done.
I can feel my muscles becoming more dense and organized, that seems like what may eventually lead to higher maximum reps.
Just be patient and constant.
Would like to do this with every muscle group in my body. But for now, we’re just concentrating on rowing, pushups, and leg press.
There’s sometimes an implicit bias to the physical/metaphysical senses when it comes to bench-marking meditative phenomena. Mindfulness of sight or hearing. Clairvoyance. Dream phenomena, and so on.
But one thing that seems major in my own path is empathy as a perceptual channel, and as a doorway to consciousness.
Get yourself a kettlebell 
Which app do you use? It looks very good.
That is a good idea.
Today, I have sore muscles in my buttocks from my kettlebell workout yesterday. The last thing I expected 
It work’s really the whole body and that in only 20 mins.
Just had a pretty odd waking experience.
Son had to get up for school and he set his alarm. I heard it and woke up too, but I was also having a dream.
Seeing that he was up fine and had things well in hand, I continued to take care of the tasks in my dream.
I had to turn the pages in this storybook to sync it up with where ‘the images’ were. Where those images were coming from, I’m not sure.
There were two little girls who had come into the room with their mothers. New Year passed a long time ago but I was finding money to put into envelopes to surprise them with.
Earlier in the dream, a sinister kind of older man had tricked me into going down an elevator into the lowest level of this building to a place with no exit. They’d trapped the scientists down there for decades. They were all white-haired surviving down there. It was a threatening, potentially lawless place. I was young and suspected I was being consigned to this place and they would possibly do ill to me.
As the elevator doors opened, and I realized what was happening, I jumped forward into the room with a yell, and I awoke somewhat, suspecting that I might have actually yelled in thethe waking world.
So the veils between dreaming and waking were somehow thinner than they usually are for me.
Time to meditate.
2 weeks into my washout.
Noticed a tangible settling feeling in this morning’s meditation.
at work now, and not feeling very focused at the moment. seems that journaling helps with that.
Last night was my late night meeting. The final one for that series of meetings actually.
Walked home afterwards.
And when I got there, still did my pushups. And it was actually fairly comfortable. The calisthenics are really helping my chest and triceps muscles. I actually enjoy it. But it’s not too punishing, so that helps.
Time for today’s only appointment/meeting.
And away we go.
It’s an app that used to exist, called runtastic Push-Ups.
It’s no longer being maintained, so most of the functionality is gone. But I never used any of that stuff. Just wanted a decent push-ups progression app.
I guess there should be other ones now that have taken its place.
Hmm…This one actually looks better than the one I’m using:
I actually like that much better than what I’m doing now.
I’m tempted to switch to it. We’ll see.
Thank you @Malkuth. That’s a cool website. Will try this training program as soon as possible (possible means finishing the current training cycle 
)
When it comes to human beings
Alliance trumps Truth
Being good at the alliance game will get you further than being good at the truth game
When it comes to the Cosmos,
Truth wins
