Reminds me of this parable.
A storm descends on a small town, and the downpour soon turns into a flood. As the waters rise, the local preacher kneels in prayer on the church porch, surrounded by water. By and by, one of the townsfolk comes up the street in a canoe.
“Better get in, Preacher. The waters are rising fast.”
“No,” says the preacher. “I have faith in the Lord. He will save me.”
Still the waters rise. Now the preacher is up on the balcony, wringing his hands in supplication, when another guy zips up in a motorboat.
“Come on, Preacher. We need to get you out of here. The levee’s gonna break any minute.”
Once again, the preacher is unmoved. “I shall remain. The Lord will see me through.”
After a while the levee breaks, and the flood rushes over the church until only the steeple remains above water. The preacher is up there, clinging to the cross, when a helicopter descends out of the clouds, and a state trooper calls down to him through a megaphone.
“Grab the ladder, Preacher. This is your last chance.”
Once again, the preacher insists the Lord will deliver him.
And, predictably, he drowns.
A pious man, the preacher goes to heaven. After a while he gets an interview with God, and he asks the Almighty, “Lord, I had unwavering faith in you. Why didn’t you deliver me from that flood?”
God shakes his head. “What did you want from me? I sent you two boats and a helicopter.”

Reminds me a joke about a poor man who prays to God day by day for winning a lottery. Just keeps praying/complaining/begging God to make him a winner. Finally after years of doing so, an angel shows up and he hits the poor man’s head and shouts “GET OUT AND BUY A DAMN TICKET!”

I think it’s Quantum Limitless, but I’ll find ideas for solutions just popping into my mind sometimes.
I just thought of a design for a funnel-shaped catch-and-release device for insects. Nothing super complicated, but I think it would probably work pretty well.

If you don’t understand how your spiritual path and spiritual practices work, then you won’t recognize viable alternatives to them.
You’ll end up fighting over metaphors. Like fighting over the pictures in an instruction manual for a machine that you don’t know how to build or use.
It’s very possible to get skilled in a practice without understanding how it works.

Manifested an article that seems to be carrying my process forward. Less because it is answering any questions, and more because it is bringing me into contact with resonant contexts and people.

I am becoming a lot busier these days. And also more personally invested in my work (with some spates of intense ambivalence).
I wonder if this is related to the execution of Emperor.

People love to believe that we have the whole picture on any given topic;
And we never do.

I started Emperor last week (thursday I believe) and Ive felt a lot more personally invested in my work, although I prefer to say my purpose, which led me to be busier too.
So I guess it might be Emperor.

Action, for me, does not mean forcing yourself to do contrived things that do not make sense to you.
But just allow yourself to be open to doing new things that do make sense to you.

Just because someone can do something that you can’t do, or has things that you don’t have;
does not mean that they know everything that you don’t know.
Give people exactly the credence that they deserve and no more.

People get together because we have a need to bond.
Some people play happy music while they’re doing it
Some play lonely music
Some get angry and treat it like a competition that they have to win
Some brag and treat it like a competition that they’ve already won
But underneath: we get together because we need to bond.

People will usually try to get you to be a slave to whatever masters and gods that they are serving.
(We’re just team-spirited like that.)
Don’t let them/us fool you.

The amount of work that I am having to do has really exploded and expanded over the past 4 months. It’s amazing, and I think it must certainly be a manifestation.
It kind of reminds me of the Manifest Challenges scripting. But that’s not included anymore. But maybe it’s still something sort of like that.
Also, I was reflecting that I played Yggdrasil and Jupiter starting in June 2020 and over the next 1.5 years after that. That is probably also connected to the way that Dragon Reborn manifested external results for me when I started playing that in July 2021.
This June will be 3 years since Subliminal Club first opened up the Q Customs store. Whoo!
