Compared to yesterday’s meditation, today’s felt like I had removed lead weights.
Yesterday’s was not unpleasant, it was just more ‘weighted’, for lack of a better term.
Like a 2G planet compared to a .5G planet.
Also, I find that, these days (when I have the luxury), I’ll often take 10-20 minutes to transition from meditation back to normal daily activity.
That transition time feels a bit more necessary at the moment.
Today definitely feels like “Day 2”.
I’m processing that amazing stack from yesterday.
This is going to be an interesting month/year(s).
I’ll take this as a good sign:
I just took a mid-day shower.
Granted I don’t usually shower at this time of day, but…
I saw a rainbow in my shower.
It was created by the sunlight beaming through the stream of water from the shower.
Haven’t had that experience before.
Got a good outside walk.
This feels so vitally important, what with the current stack.
The brisk but relaxed 6-mile walk utterly helps with processing.
Walking Gods: Johnny Appleseed, Jesus, Buddha, Forrest Gump; I call on you to walk with me and to help me to keep on walking!
I’m no productivity workhorse yet. But I seem to be noticing a gradual build in desire and effort.

Processing x Execution x Time = Growth and Change
Second listening day with Naissance ZP + Sapiens ZP.
Today was much more comfortable. Helps that I had more than 4 hours of sleep this time, I guess.
This gives me more confidence for running the stack in the long-term.
Especially since next month the final piece slides into place, and I’m pushing the envelope by running all three programs together.
I’ve chosen Saturdays and Tuesdays as my weekly listening days. 3 weeks on, 1 week off.
As regards experimentation, I think it’s a good idea to establish a baseline by sticking closely to the recommendations for 6 months or longer. Get a sense of how you respond to that frequency and duration of exposure. Then start making adjustments and tweaks to tailor the listening schedule to your individual needs and to optimize your process.
There’s this elusive, tenuous space–prior to emotion, prior to belief.
This is the changing room–backstage—before we put on those costumes of personae, that we wear to perform and to contend.
If you’re still arguing and debating about what is true and what is false—about who is right and who is wrong----you’re already too late, you’ve already missed this point.
This is the still point. Before belief.
Every so often, I almost see; almost remember it.
PRACTICALITY
The capacity to stay mentally engaged with What Is Happening on multiple, numerous levels.
Head in the Heavens, Feet on the Ground
The Earth
Substance.
Practicality includes a wise understanding of limitations. How to use them. How to harness them. How to work within them. How to apply them. How (and when) to expand them.
Some archetypes of Practicality: The Engineer. The Mechanic. The Troubleshooter. The Mother. The Doctor. and (even more so) The Nurse. The Midwife. The Gardener. People who work with earth and growing things in general. The Farmer. The Accountant. The Supply and Logistics Officers. The Engineering Corp. The Editor. The Proofreader. Saturn.
But also for Enlightened, Expanded, Integrative Practicality: The General.
It is not our limitations that hold us back from reaching our goals and dreams.
It is the mismanagement of our limitations.
Based on the foolish belief that we should not have limitations or that we should have limitations that are different from those that we have, we are ineffective in harnessing and handling our limitations.
When do you need to take a breath?
When do you need to strategically retreat, regroup, and recover?
Knowing the answers to these, you can use your limitations to move with wisdom and effectiveness, and you can reach your dreams, not be held back from them.
Don’t curse your limitations; learn your limitations.
Use them!
Now that’s Wisdom worthy to be bookmarked and followed.
When I have a question about my subliminals, I can ask my question to the subliminal directly by writing a letter.
My paper is my life situations.
My pen is the actions I take.
Another question:
Am I giving my subs a good container to be able to work optimally.
If you have a bouquet of beautiful, high-quality tulips, you also need to have a large enough vase that can hold fresh water, and you need to change the water periodically.
If you have a high-quality, well-trained guard dog, you need to have a shelter where your guard dog can live, you need to feed it, wash it, groom it, and love it.
These conditions constitute good ‘Containers’. They constitute ‘Care’.
Care always comes down to proper feeding, proper grooming, proper shelter, proper stimulation. I think that’s about it.
So, what kind of ‘Container’ am I providing to the subliminal so that it can function at its optimal level?
The name of my current stack
NAISSANCE Terminus2 + SAPIENS Terminus2
PHENOMENAUT ZP
.
.
.
When I add in the final piece next month it will be
NAISSANCE Terminus2 + SAPIENS Terminus2 + PATHS Terminus2
PHENOMENAUT Optimized ZP
.
And this is as far as my plan goes.
It’s a little silly to make dramatic pronouncements on here, when innovations occur every 3-6 months that can completely change how you relate to your plans.
I don’t know what innovative, game-changing leaps Saint and Fire will create in the next 3 years or even 1 year.
Still, when I think of my current stack, PHENOMENAUT Optimized, I find myself thinking in terms of a 3 year journey.
Three years tends to be a meaningful cycle for me. As also does 9 years.
My first 3 years of sub club got me to this point, where I’m now in a more present-focused, active engagement phase. And I imagine that the three years after this period (i.e., 2025 to 2028) will likely be important and distinctive in some way as well.
But for now, here we are. Working with PHENOMENAUT.
Today was the 3rd time playing Phenomenaut.
I’m noticing that each time is more comfortable than the last. That’s encouraging.
A lot of my work has been online in the past 2 years, but today there was a sudden issue that required me to go into the office. I saw a lot of people on the street around it. And I realized that I had been feeling somewhat in a cocoon of isolation. I found myself really responding to the energy of people around me. Not quite positive or negative; probably a mixture of both.
One positive is that there’s more of a feeling of being connected to my work. A negative is that it can be a bit overwhelming.
Then I had to rush back home again, and now I’m preparing for two online appointments.
Here we go.

I just went down a very bizarre rabbit hole (pun possibly intended).
I was thinking about the parallels between eating and f**king.
In essence, they’re both appetitive.
I first had the thought, ‘people seem to be willing to be with other people who they do not particularly like in order to satisfy the desire for pleasure through f**ing.’
Then I thought, ‘Hmmm…well, maybe that’s not so strange. After all, no one eating a piece of chicken concerns herself over whether that chicken had an agreeable, friendly manner about him.’
This then led to the thought, ‘Well, one major difference is that in the case of eating, the other being is already dead. So there’s not much basis for a relationship.’
Which naturally led me to think about animals that are or have been eaten by human beings while those animals are still alive. I found a list of 8 or 9 animals for whom this has occurred. (To quote a wise teenager I know, “Just…no.”)
That then led me to reflecting on the habits of non-human animals.
Not having access to kitchens, spatulas, or controlled heat, it’s comparatively more common to see a carnivorous animal eating another animal alive.
I was reflecting on how that is inherently relational. In other words, there are two subjectivities involved and interacting. Psychologically, this is the opposite of empathy.
As I sat, fixed in a low-level seethe of horror, it occurred to me that I might be reacting to the intensity of my current listening schedule/stack. (All of this had occurred over about a 7 to 9 minute time period.)
I remember that when I first started running Terminus and Terminus2 build tracks back in 2020, I was similarly drawn to macabre themes.
I’ll keep an eye on this type of ideation and see whether it increases, persists, or dissipates.
I’m noticing that the tendency and direction of my thoughts today are almost comically dysfunctional.
Seems pretty clear that there’s some processing going on.
Easy to feel a sense of frustration.
Feels a bit corny.
Let’s keep going through it.
