Have you run the EoG stages previously as an individual program ?

I should also report here that last night, I experienced a NAISSANCE manifestation. I returned to some material that I had studied a year ago, and I was able to recognize that this is information of current significance to my ‘spiritual’ path.
I’d been reading it for an hour, when it suddenly hit me: ‘Of course! This is a result!’

I realized at some point that there was some foundation-building work to be done before I would get greater benefit from Ecstasy of Gold. But I decided to keep playing it anyway, as a form of long-term investment.
And the truth is, most of what I did in my first three years of subliminals use could be categorized as Long-Term Investment and Future-Oriented.
This time right now feels like the beginning of a transition to Present-Oriented. There are still, however, some of those features of my former approach. For example, I’m still running a somewhat heavy stack.
But I was reflecting that now is the first time that I’m truly working–for the long-term–with Single Stage programs. Between October 2019 and July 2022, most of the time my main focus was on working through 1 or more multi-stage programs.
I had two months May and June 2021 when I originally tried to do this. But by July 2021, I was back on a multi-stager, working my way through Dragon Reborn.
So, just the focus on single-stagers right now represents a greater NOW-focus than before. And the more these programs come online is the stronger that the Now-focus will become.
The three programs that I’m running now actually represent the most important parts of my entire Vision.
This is, in essence, it.

Was feeling in a kind of discouraged frame of mind earlier today. For a few hours in the afternoon to early evening.
Now it’s kind of easing up.
Was primarily in response to: Long-Standing Situations That I Have Not Changed. Work, Relationship, (possibly, Health).

Sometimes, the possibility of Achievement is a distraction from what actually matters;
and only when one sees through it can one step onto a Path that transcends both failure and success.

Decided to sleep on it and see how I felt in the morning.
Feel ready for another play day. So I’ll add subliminals when I meditate after son leaves for school.
Then we’ll see how Wednesday, Thursday and Friday go.

Ended up meditating (with subliminals) from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. (Later than usual.)
Fifteen minutes after that my two early afternoon meetings happened. And those just ended about 15 minutes ago. I’ll have two more related meetings tomorrow afternoon.
The meetings went quite well (I think).
The meditation was relatively smooth and comfortable. Not laser-focused. It’s usually not laser-focused these days. More like a calm, floating presence. There happens to be very little discomfort these days. But that can vary.
It feels, subjectively, like my mind is gradually acclimating to the stimulation of the subliminals.
They actually started out feeling pretty smooth even from the initial listens, I think. And that is only increasing over time.

Audio-journaling. Spontaneously and extemporaneously.
It’s interesting because I notice that the topics and questions that my mind is drawn to contemplate are a definite reflection of the subliminals that I’m processing.
This is one of the clearest ways for me to observe what’s happening.

I wrote this up above, but it’s important and it’s elusive to me at this time, so I’m going to write it again:
When I get into a pattern of Contraction (which is, ironically, based on nothing), I become compelled by seemingly distant Markers of Attainment;
the right job, the right relationship, the right bank balance.
And, let me be clear, none of those are bad things. It’s just that they’re Side-Things.
They are joys and pleasures that I intend to achieve and enjoy;
but they’re also NOT THE POINT.
The POINT is confident engagement with the process of Expansion and Contraction itself.
It’s that engagement—-that grounded embrace—-that makes it possible for you to enjoy that job, that relationship, that bank balance, in the first place.
And without that engagement, they’ll just be empty details or even worse, they’ll be active burdens. Just that these burdens will be wrought from gold.
The moment you truly grasp this, you are free.

a man who walks about with clenched fists, can never truly grasp anything; never truly caress anything, never truly hold anything.
This is not a problem of the world. And it’s not even a problem of the man.
Simply unclench the fists, and you’ll see that wherever you currently are is exactly where your embrace of the Cosmos begins. It’s already right in your hands.

Getting all depressed and frustrated over fake desires.
Things that you’ve convinced yourself that you must want.
What you really want is a joyful state of mind and state of engagement.

That’s interesting. You don’t like your desires? Why are they fake?

Oh, I like them well enough.
But yes, I think a lot of our desires (not just mine) are probably fake.
Fake in the sense that they’re built on top of false premises about what life is and what we are.
I’m not saying that this is unconscionable or tragic or some such. More that it is ‘missing the mark’.
I’m also not thinking in terms of extreme dichotomies. I’m not saying, in other words: This is RIGHT, so that must be WRONG.
These things that we desire are fine. Generally speaking, they will bring some pleasure.
And that’s probably the crux of it.
People tend to (understandably) use instinctual programs and cognitive heuristics to manage most of our lives. With limited attentional resources, it makes sense that we rely heavily on default programs; using our ‘auto-pilot’ function. And those programs work too.
But…
Our instincts seem to be more focused on survival than on happiness.
So if we allow our default settings to run major parts of the show, we’re likely to survive, but we won’t necessarily be happy.
One of our default programs says: Pleasure is good and pain is bad. Good can be understood very broadly here: desirable, moral, correct, rewarding etc.,
And of course, I like pleasure. That’s not the point. I want a pleasurable life. I’m talking here about subtle distinctions.
That pleasurable life is great, but it won’t be enough to constitute a happy life.
Happiness is a bit more nuanced.
It includes pleasure but is not limited to pleasure.
If we set our Happiness Course-Heading based on the “Accumulate (appropriate) Pleasure and Relieve Pain” Program, and if we’re successful at it, we’ll have a pretty good life. But it won’t get there.
We are Consciousness.
So this thing has to happen on the level of Consciousness.
Consciousness is slippery and invisible.
It’s hard for us to relate to it.
It’s simultaneously too big and too subtle.
So, for the most part, we ignore it. While, at the same time, it totally guides and determines our lives.
I think that discerning true and legitimate desires requires upgrading the orientation to Consciousness. The care and feeding of consciousness.
This vast, powerful, subtle, invisible context of our existence.
Consciousness is like the atmosphere of invisible Oxygen that exists all around us and within us. Except that in this case, we’re also made of it. Like fish that are made of water.
Swimming through water and composed of water.
We focus on the momentary shapes and patterns that arise in the water. And we ignore the nature of the water itself.

Alright. So some daily reflections.
Realized that as of today, I’ve already been playing SAPIENS Terminus2 for 2 months.
SAPIENS ZP.
Sapiens which is focused on building my Empire of Service through Wise, Compassionate Facilitation. If I’m honest, I would have to say that yes, I’m getting regular, meaningful opportunities to support, serve, and facilitate others. Even up to and including today. Today, I had the chance to sit down with a team of four people and facilitate them through a shared reflection on their work and on how to best deal with the challenges and situations that tend to arise in their organization. I hope that it went well and was helpful.
When your eyes are screwed tightly shut, you won’t see or recognize your heart’s desire even if it appears right in front of you.
To see the desired you must also allow some room for seeing the undesired.
Hmm…okay.
I’ve noticed some of those Emperor effects. Have been having thoughts of ending things. When are you getting out of this job? Thoughts like that.
Just hit me tonight that that is related to the self-determination drive of Emperor.
Good. I’m not leaving it (the job) yet. But it’s an encouraging sign that Emperor is on deck and supporting me.
Have been experiencing cool NAISSANCE manifestations as well. Hunches, insights, and nudges related to my sense of meaning and my practices of seeking meaning, experiencing meaning, and expressing meaning.
Another Emperor thing: Have been feeling marked increased thoughts of desire for various women in my orbit. Sheesh. Funny how there’s almost always a delayed reaction for me in recognizing that these effects are related to my subliminals.
No idea how those women are feeling about me. Definitely not a priority. And in the settings I’m in, I do not need to know what they’re feeling. So I’m glad I don’t.
Sheesh. But whatever part of the brain is responsible for admiring beautiful legs is definitely working in my brain. Kind of annoying. haha.
There are probably other manifestations happening that I’m a little too clueless to connect at the moment. That’s okay.
Day by day.
Step by step.

During this a.m.'s meditation, I decided to shift focus to the Touch/Feel sensory modality. I observed that while visual imagery and content feels tenuous and elusive, there is (in contrast) usually a readily and easily available access to an ongoing flow of somatic content.
It occurred to me that I had been inaccurately under-perceiving the importance of that Touch/Feel content, probably because it felt so ‘normal’ and ‘ordinary’. But this is an arm of Consciousness and a pathway to Consciousness; no more or less ordinary than any other.
I think I was shifting my focus to ‘the gold that I have’, rather than ‘the gold that is far away’.
I then pretty quickly noticed that this attentional orientation provided a nicely effective pathway for Harmonic Singularity to manifest. I’m thinking that there is also a Mind’s Eye lesson to be learned here as well.
Somatic Focus for the win!
