Cultivating a cosmology that is more than just an amplification of your individual perspective and experience.
That’s a concise summation.
Gradually stretching and expanding awareness to accommodate experiences beyond that of only one body-mind.

Currently in a subjective space of feeling lost and ‘not knowing what to do with myself’.
That’s the default setting right now.
I’ve been here before. It’s a place my mind goes.
Sometimes it happens when you push too forcefully with practices.
Interesting.
May add in some grounding influences.

An illusion is a phenomenological problem or puzzle.
Saying something is an illusion does not somehow negate that thing. It only contextualizes.
Saying, ‘Oh, this is nothing but a difficult math problem’, is not equivalent to having somehow solved that problem. It’s just clarifying the nature of the task.
When people say that the self is an Illusion, that has nothing to do with negating the importance, the influence, or the salience of the self. Rather it’s a reminder that Here is something to be (better) studied and understood.
It is, literally, not as it seems.

Today was Sunday.
Woke up at 8:15 to 8:30 am. Meditated from 8:55 to 9:55.
Walked a bit.
Reviewed the Taijiquan form to make sure I remembered the whole thing. Went through the form physically a few times. Also recited the names of the postures. And practiced typing them from memory into a blank Excel form.
Eventually finished 10000 steps. Was actually alone here today, and so walked inside and walked faster since it wouldn’t freak anyone out.
The moderately vigorous exercise helped to ground me and energized my mind, and my mind made more connections, which I typed up above.
Heated up food that I’d cooked yesterday. Lentil stew. Brown rice.
What I did not do today was wrangle my mind into doing any preparatory work for tomorrow’s workday. Those tasks slipped from my mind like wet fishes.
As usual, I have two longer meetings to run tomorrow (Monday). Each close to three hours.
One of them is basically going to run itself. Not literally; but, the structure is basically set-up to go. The other one needs a bit of thought from me. Hmm…Well, I’m finally thinking about it right now, so guess I’ll be doing that now. Although, once my son gets back, I’ll give him a quick haircut.
Then I need to at least get to some bit of work on a research/writing project.
I also have about 10 e-mails to answer.
And there are a number of setting-up tasks to be attended to related to a post that I’ll be taking up in about a month.
Okay, so there we are.
And behind the scenes, my subs are being processed. Tuesday will be the final Exposure Day of this play period.
Here we go.

Slow start this morning.
Looks like subtle processing effects possibly.
If so, they really snuck up subtly.
Tomorrow’s the last exposure day and then there will be 10 processing days.
Interesting.

Do NOT give up.
Remember:
Even if you feel that you’ve been wandering in the night for weeks, months, years; it only takes one moment for a flash of clarifying insight and awareness to arise that can shift things in a helpful direction.

Just experienced another one of these this morning (which is what prompted me to write that).
I’ve taken an interesting approach to my work with subliminals. I think it’s just an expression of my nature.
I think it’s safe to say that:
Increasing the ‘mass’ and ‘density’ of a subliminal program means that it will take a longer time to process, integrate, and execute that program.
Therefore, all else being equal, ONE 10-module, ZP standard custom subliminal should be processed the most quickly.
TWO 10-module ZP standard customs played in the same stack will take longer to process.
ONE 20-module ZP standard custom will take longer to process.
ONE 10-module ZP Terminus custom will take longer to process.
As we increase:
- the number of modules included in each custom
- the number of subliminals included in the stack
- the build strength
we can also add - the number of different focus directions or goal directions included in the customs or the stack
it makes sense to budget more time for processing.
If you desire quick, agile, instantaneous movements, PACK LIGHT.
-
Choose a tight, specifically-focused agenda that you care about and that is closely aligned with your potential, with your nature, and with who you are becoming.
-
Choose one program or create one 10-module, ZP standard custom that is precisely focused on that agenda.
-
Run it and work towards your goal with enthusiasm and with balance.
That should be the recipe for seeing the quickest movement.
You’re going with the flow and you’re turbo-charging your movement.
Okay.
Now, I’ve taken a different tack.
I have an over-arching, deeply valued dream for a Way of Being.
All of my programs are contributing to that.
They’re unified and harmonious, but, they’re not surgical and agile. (I do find, though, that with each passing year, they are evolving more in the direction of agile, precise focus. We’re just not there yet.)
So, I’ve done the opposite of what I described above. As far away from that as I could have gotten without leaving the overall guidelines.
I have 3 customs in my stack.
Each custom has 20 modules included.
Each custom is built in the Terminus2 build strength
Each custom contributes one ‘leg’ of an overarching Tripod agenda:
- Inner, ontological work.
- Outer vocational application
- Wealth, Planning, and Executive Optimization
Even in the Jet Stream world of ZP, I’ve managed to create a Heavy Lifting type of stack.
Yup.
I’m a Taurus.
Only going to allow a certain degree of agility.
This morning, I thought over the last two to three years, and how it’s leading to where I am now, and where I am going.
Things clarified and focused and I caught a vision of how I want to approach things.
I’ll stay with the process; but that felt good.
Okay. Enough reflecting.

The point of that:
By increasing all of those (well, maybe not number 4 so much), I’ve created a stack that needs more time and requires more patience.
Despite my best efforts, I’m still seeing results trickling in.
But I have a feeling that as I work with it over a longer period of time, that trickle will become a flow and then a raging river.
And I’m cool with that.
I can also see appropriate tasks for me to do right now in this moment where I am.
And again, that feels good.

Felt a bit scattered in my morning consultation meeting just now.
Partly because it was a Zoom call and I had people walking past me and talking at one point. But I think it was a bit more than just that.
Today was my last play day of this play period. The next 10 days are just for processing. So, that means today is the point of maximal exposure.
This morning I woke up at 5:45 am or so. I meditated (with subs) from 6:25 to 7:25. Gave my son a few extra minutes of shut-eye; then woke him up to get ready for school.
Tried to lay down myself and rest from about 8:20 to 9:50 or so, then got up to shower and be ready for morning meeting.
All things considered, it’s feeling pretty smooth and chill.
But can’t forget that my brain/mind is processing a very powerful stimulus.
So here we are.
I guess the scatteredness was partly from processing; but mostly due to environmental disturbances around me.
I’ll have another meeting in the early afternoon. So we’ll how that one goes. Better get some food in me first.
I’m noticing gradual shifts and openings up with regard to productivity and directions for productivity. Just certain directions that suddenly seem to make sense.
I’m glad and grateful that my programs are continuing to unfold.
The term Evolutionary Omakase came to me this morning.

After three years I’ve reached a stable stack. As in, there are no plans to change; to work through any stages; to arrive at some ideal, future configuration.
This stack is the destination.
For a person like me, this feels so good.

Thursday morning
Son has left for school.
Meditation: 6:26 to 7:27
on Tuesday night, I chose to stay up reading about Nei Gong until 2:30 AM.
Read the first chapter of:
Very glad that I did.
But Wednesday morning, still had to wake up early as always. So yesterday was a pretty tired day.
Today’s better.
Next scheduled subliminal day: Saturday 26 November.
Until then, we are processing.
Freaking medial epicondylitis at right elbow. So, no pull-ups for the past 5 days or so. Need to reinstate my old rehab routines.
Ordered a new scale and it arrived yesterday. Found that I’ve lost about 8 to 10 pounds in the last 2 years. Wasn’t really my plan. But if you walk 10000 steps a day, and eat one meal a day, do intermittent fasting, and a couple of 3-5 day complete fasts, I guess this isn’t that strange.
Now, I’ll gradually shift to the other direction. Gently, non-beast mode, return to the gym. Be humble and unconcerned. Lift moderately.
Yeah, right.
Well, I’ll try.
Want to emphasize consistency over drama. Same as with the walking.
I’ll do more taijiquan first, and just gradually bring the gym back in. Maybe I’ll lift 60% for rehab at first. It’s all about the tendons. Muscles impress. But tendons get things done.
Okay. Well, wish whoever reads this an excellent day and week.

Interesting.
More from my stack seems to be kicking in today.
I’m feeling more optimistic, productive, and (dare I say) focused.
I’ll hold my expectations loosely. Not sure where it’s headed. But I need to get things done either way, so there should definitely be an ongoing workshop and ‘sandbox’ for experiencing the effects of my subs.
