How ironic that the times when my dreams seem most impossible,
are usually also the times when I have taken the least action to bring them into reality.
Beware of pouring excessive energy into planning and thinking; and pouring insufficient energy into action and reality-testing.
I should mention that I’ve gotten more RICH manifestations. This time in the form of being asked if I could please take on a number of additional responsibilities at work for which I’ll be paid additional money.
That happened two days ago.
Earlier today someone reminded me that they’d like to consult with me on a regular paid basis.
In other news: today I noticed a kind of empty discouraged sensation. I think this sometimes happens when I’m going through a growth process. And sometimes it accompanies manifestation.
At the same time, I’m also manifesting additional time for reading, study, and training/practice. I really want that right now.
Is it possible that I’m getting the Manifest Challenges effect for my productivity modules? It does seem like it.
Did you sing it yourself?
Bro is that you SoundCloud channel?
As I meditated (a bit later in the day today) several ideas and thoughts arose in my awareness that I now recognize as Trailblazer-related/Technological Prodigy-related.
People often don’t realize it, but in the course of ‘normal’ daily life we are actually very actively maintaining walls between deeper mental processes and conventional waking awareness. The walls themselves and their maintenance are largely subconscious. Similarly (as Karel Koskuba points out) when you’re sitting up typing at the computer, your upright seated position is largely maintained by postural muscles that operate subconsciously. The sense of balance is also predominantly subconscious. Anyway, without realizing it, we actively maintain walls that block out non-conventional perceptions and sensations.
Sometimes when we’re meditating, those walls are partly lowered. Same thing can happen while jogging, while drifting off to sleep, and in many other situations.
One of the ideas that came to me today was of a VR-application that would combine with Zhan Zhuang training, and help with the Intention (意) components of the practice.
Yes, I was singing that.
And that’s my SoundCloud page.
Welcome to it.
Damn
Good voice
Thanks, brother.
That was from 7 years ago. Voice has probably degraded a bit since then. (haha. and it was already degraded then from 10 years earlier.) But it’s about the joy and the feeling. So that’s cool.
Yeah
It’s about expression
Best of luck
I’m finding myself forced to admit that my life is changing.
I started noticing it back on Dragon Reborn.
Manifestations of interesting opportunities just showing up.
And just now it hit me:
I’ve been at my current job for 12 years and starting this January will be the first time that there are no unwanted or Impostor Syndrome aspects to my job responsibilities. It just kind of snuck up on me.
I was focusing on the fact that the schedule is going to be really packed. But as I was going over what the different components of my routine would be it suddenly hit me that, although it’s a bit packed, each part is something that I prefer to do and in which I feel more motivation and fulfillment.
This represents major steps forward.
Woke up at 5 something today. It was a subliminal play day. (Day 5 of the 6 subliminal days of this play period.)
Felt awake enough; so meditated (with subs) from 6:01 am to 7:01 am.
After that, I laid back down and didn’t really get up again until 10 am.
Every so often, I’ll get this weird phenomenon where I’m in between waking and sleeping, and I’ll see a very clear image ‘through my eyelids’. In other words, it will feel like I’m looking at the room, and I’ll have to double-check that my eyes are actually closed.
So that happened.
Had an 11 am appointment today. So got up and showered, etc., before that. That just ended about 10 minutes ago. I really enjoy meeting with that person. Was able to share a particularly useful tool with them called SIMA (System for Identifying Motivated Abilities). It’s a tool that I first encountered about 25 years ago.
I think I want to expand my tool repertoire. There are so many useful frameworks and tools in the world.
Okay. Stopping here.
Trailblazer/Technological Prodigy
These days I’m finding ideas coming to me related to Haptic/Somatosensory/Kinesthetic VR applications.
I’ve been thinking, for example, of this man:
VS Ramachandran, the great neuroscientist
I remember learning about 15 or so years ago about a brilliant innovation he developed that was able to relieve the pains and discomfort associated with phantom limbs.
People who have lost limbs often continue to experience painful cramping and itching in those ‘non-existent’ limbs.
This is because the actual source of the sensations we feel is the somatosensory cortex of the brain. So even though the physical arm may no longer be present; its somatosensory representative substrate is still alive and active. It just becomes like a set of software processes that are walled-off behind an unbreachable partition.
You see, we have the relationship between the brain and the body backwards most of the time. In fact, the physical body is primarily a tool for accessing the somatosensory mind. Not the reverse.
(Our egocentrically-biased perceptions flip it around, and it becomes just one more human example of trying to be ‘the tail that wags the dog’.)
V. S. Ramachandran realized that by creating a clever “mirror box” device, he could ‘fool’ the nervous system into accessing the sensations of the phantom limb. So a soldier-amputee could look into the mirror box and have the existing physical arm scratched or massaged. The brain would then interpolate those sensations into the phantom limb.
When Ramachandran innovated this approach, VR was not yet developed to its current level.
Imagine how much he could accomplish with current technology!
Although I’m noticing progress, I’m still procrastinating.
It’s a process.
Did not get far with my writing task today. I have one more day to work on it. I’ll return to it tomorrow.
Was difficult to get anything done this evening.
Result
I just noticed a major result that happened fairly quietly 3 months ago.
Again, it’s money-related.
My Core Stack is comprised of three 20-module Terminus2 customs (Naissance, Sapiens, PATHS). This, since August 2022, is the focus and core of my listening program.
My Healing Retreat stack is made up of two 20-module Terminus2 customs (Drakari and POOLS). I’ll alternate to this healing stack periodically, as prompted by intuition and circumstances.
The point, so far, is that between May 2022 and September 2022, I purchased five 20-module Terminus2 customs.
A meaningful (and considerable) investment.
A brief aside:
I’ve mentioned in the past that for my personal success metric (when it comes to wealth-related subliminals) every opportunity or every dollar that you make beyond the initial cost of the subliminal should be considered as a success for that subliminal.
To put it a little crassly, if you spend $50 on a wealth-building subliminal and in the first month you make $150 more than usual, then you’ve essentially gotten 100 free dollars. That’s a bit like buying a tree that grows usable dollars instead of leaves. It may take a while to earn a lot from the tree, but if all you need to do is add water and sunlight, then it’s well-worth the investment. It has, in short, paid for itself.
Back to the Result
Anyway, I was just reviewing some financial records from this past quarter, and I realized that:
AND I ALSO NOTICED THAT
This contract represents earnings above and beyond what I make at my job. It can be considered, in other words, as ‘extra’.
I’m being a bit long-winded here. Let me state it concisely:
I initiated my current Customs stack on August 12, 2022. By 20 days later (in other words, by the final day of my first play period), I had secured receivables equal to the full amount paid for all of my customs PLUS 50% beyond that amount.
A major result.
And honestly, at the time, I was not even paying much attention to it.
But it deserves to be noted and acknowledged with GRATITUDE.
Some Wisdom
Practice gathering more enthusiasm around Process than you do around Outcome.
(and treat Outcome as part of Process.)
Let the Fools be Fools.
Short-term Loss for Long-term Gain.
Here is a Short-term Loss:
I am fundamentally Consciousness
I will invest my energy in the thriving and wellbeing of Consciousness first.
There’s a subtle distinction to make:
It’s not the content that gives me trouble. I know the content.
It’s accessing and organizing the content.
Somehow this can tire me out.
Need to conceptualize this and to build more effective strategies and tools for dealing with it.
When faced with the prospect of organizing information, my mind sometimes goes into gridlock and instead defaults to its preferred process of solving problems and generating insights.
Rather than resolving the issue, this simply creates additional content and information which will also need to be organized.
Interesting.
