MALKUTH The Phenomenaut

I must be in recon.

Although, I really don’t feel like it.

But, looking from the outside, I clearly am.

I’ve mentioned before that results and recon often show up for me in the form of external manifestations. My go-to example is the time, during my run of Dragon Reborn, when I was taking my evening walk and a group of police officers just surrounded me and required me to show ID, my bag, etc. Prior to that, I had taken the same walk, at the same time of day, practically every day for about 2 years.

Another one, I played Chosen from Within with Dragon Reborn, and suddenly was contacted by the family member of an ex-girlfriend about 28 years later. They’d ‘just thought of me’. Meanwhile, i’d been finding myself releasing the pain of that relationship in the several weeks before that.

So, anyway, yeah. I get external manifestations sometimes.

This week, I’ve found lots of little hiccups happening. Nothing horrible. But just the kinds of things that make you wonder if you’ve got gremlins or poltergeists around you. At the same time, I’ve also once again got this mindstate of feeling stuck and trapped. And discouraged.

It’s not overwhelming. Not really. More like a clear sensation of the plausibility of an unchanged future. Just quietly and calmly hanging around you.

Pretty freaking interesting actually.

My programs right now: Phenomenaut (RoM, RoS, Genesis), Khan Black stage 3, Genesis: Mogul.

I LOVE these programs.

But I guess if I were to point a finger it would be at Khan Black stage 3. That’s the one I’ve introduced most recently. So maybe it’s doing some heavy lifting and reorganizing of internal things. I think that a lot of people complain about Khan Black stage 2. I found that stage nice and smooth.

But maybe it’s KB3 that’s bumping me around somewhat. Don’t know.

Like I said, it’s not clearly subliminally-driven. I’m just trying to use objective reason.

Frankly, it feels more like it’s about life. But I know that’s how the mind often shows up. Mind doesn’t label itself for me. It just kind of projects its current status onto my perceptions of Life and the world. It just kind of silently mixes itself in there.

So, it’s completely plausible that what I’m experiencing now could be some subtle (for me, at least) form of reconciliation. If so, we’ll see where it leads.

If your aim is to enjoy something, then make sure that you keep it at the right distance, where it can be enjoyed properly.

That second one you have a connection to the event. But the first. What do you think that represents symbolically?

2 Likes

I think symbols represent many things simultaneously.

Cop-out answer? (pun intended)

Authority. Power. Fear. Threat. Being tested. Being oppressed. Being ‘tried’. Being suspected. The capacity to navigate socially-sanctioned challenge. Being doubted. Being the outsider. The pariah. The capacity to cross boundaries between the accepted and the unaccepted, the acceptable and the unacceptable.

What did it represent for me specifically at that time, and what did it represent in me?

Hard to say.

But I know it represented a bunch of meaningful processes both superficial and profound.

My Definition of a Subliminal
(Shower Thoughts #876)

A well-made subliminal program is a master teacher, an elite coach, and a sage advisor that communicates directly with your deep mind; instructing it on (and reminding it of) the best and most effective principles for learning, for growth, and for performance; particularly in the areas focused on by the program.

In this way, the subliminal serves as a tool that helps you to develop and express your greatest potential.

Same sort of vibe from the same Era

Funny, because the reason I just looked up and rediscovered Jeffrey Osbourne was that I was actually thinking of Billy Ocean. Funny because these guys don’t really seem to share much in common stylistically or vocally.

You know, I think it’s because their names are pronounced almost identically. Two syllable first and last name. Emphasis on the first syllable. So they just kind of sit similarly in my mnemonic storehouse.

Anyway, I love this song. So I guess they share that in common too. (That I like their music)

A lot of music from that time sounded similar yet different at the same time.

You’re right.

Same (or similar) producers and song-writers behind a lot of the different stars.

It’s that way with rock and metal at the same time. I listen to the first couple of Def Leppard songs such as Rock Brigade and Hello America and then listen to anything off Pyromania and there’s a huge difference. The difference being their producer Mutt Lang who produced albums for Brian Adams and AC/DC prior. There’s definite sound similarities yet obvious differences.

He’s the reason Shania Twain sounded like she did in the mid 90s.
