I worked quietly for 11 months to lay the foundations for what is now my flagship custom: NAISSANCE.
From May 24 2020, when I first began to meditate with Mind’s Eye Terminus2; to July 11, 2020 when I began the stages of Alchemist and Quantum Limitless. And finally to April 30 2021, when I completed that very heavy stack and prepared for this lighter, focused, and Qv2-supercharged stack.
We’re wired to not-know certain things; and it’s very helpful, but it also can potentially backfire.
There’s something that’s known to 1) people who meditate or concentrate deeply, 2) people who engage in certain types of drug use, and 3) people who just have very deep sleeps or naps.
In those three conditions, one can have the experience of perceiving the world from a very non-ordinary state or observing the world with eyes that have only just returned from a non-ordinary state.
The basic effect is the same: the so-called ‘normal’ world appears not normal at all. New. Strange. Fresh.
If one repeats this experience enough times, a certain awareness arises: Ordinariness is a sense impression. It is neurologically (and endocrinally) generated. It is not a characteristic of the world itself. In fact, no perceptions are characteristics of the world itself. They are all neurologically-generated. Whether you believe that these neurological generations are relatively fixed responses to an objectively unchanging and knowable referent phenomenal condition (i.e, ‘the material, physical world’) or whether you think that something quite else may be going on here, the fact remains that are perceptions and sensations are generated within the nervous system.
This means that the sensation of ‘ordinary’ is no different in fundamental character than the sensation ‘red’ (or, for that matter, the sensation ‘mind-blowing’).
They’re all sensations.
This is the context of the Non-Dual practice of Neti, Neti. ‘not this, not that’.
hmm…well, just some thoughts.
Almost EVERY statement that a person makes about reality is a decision, not a truth.
Recognition of the fact that it is a decision, and not a truth, makes it no less powerful and no less real.
It simply reframes the rules and the site—the context—of engagement.
It means, in essence, that you are contending not with larger nature, but simply with human will–a legitimate force in its own right.
Human beings will continually masquerade our decisions as Truths. We do this not because we are evil, nefarious, schemers of conspiracy; but because doing so allays our constant sense of anxiety. We wish to feel the elusive security of being True and owning Truth. Even the illusion of that security is compellingly addictive to us, at a very fundamental level.
lately I feel the backdrop of everything is a profound uncertainty about everything, and I’m learning to settle into it like a comfortable chair.
I recognize what I choose to believe around soul, spirituality, energy on one level I have equal cynicism towards as I do faith and conviction- or maybe more accurately said-an in-authenticity has been revealed that I believe in it for others but not for myself
My new motto is- if I can’t know and if it could be not true–it could also be true 
Throughout life, I’ve always gotten these Intuitive Downloads. And they’ve only gotten stronger with the presence in my life of Alchemist and Quantum Limitless. Often, I’ll just jot them down or summarize them here.
Whereas to an outside reader they may seem like random observations, for me, they’re a kind of Process Journal of how the subliminals are facilitating my flow of ideas.
I’m going to summarize another one in the next post.
A couple of days ago, as I was on my walk another framework got intuitively downloaded into my mind. Here it is:
In contending with reality, very much including the social and cultural reality of norms, conventions, mores, rhetoric, and so on, there are three factors that we need to keep in mind.
These are Imagination, Energy, and Wisdom.
Working to increase these three factors makes the difference between living as a drone or slave or, gradually, increasing self-determination.
The first factor is Imagination. The capacity to conceive of alternatives. Without imagination, whatever condition or status quo happens to be before you will seem to be inevitable and unalterable. The thought of doing something different will not even occur to you, because you simply do not have the capacity to accommodate the Idea or Possibility of ‘the alternate’ or ‘the different’.
Until this gate is passed, the other factors are irrelevant. You will simply be swept along by the caprice of forces or powers that you are unable to interrogate, critique, or decenter. Any desire for difference will have to wait until someone else, who does possess imagination is able to offer you some viable or at least inspiring alternative to what you already know.
it’s clear, then, that Imagination is the first gate to the Freedom of self-determination.
Without the second gate, Energy (or Willpower), imagination will remain only as potential. Energy is power. It is the capacity to move the internal and external environments on the basis of what is imagined. It is the capacity to take action.
When Imagination is combined with Energy, the result is Creative Action and Empowered Creativity.
When both of these capacities have passed a certain threshold and reached high enough levels, Intentional Action arises.
The third factor, however, is just as important. This is Wisdom. Wisdom is, essentially, the apprehension of Context. The ability to accurately project, the consequences and ramifications of various courses of action.
Without Wisdom, the creative action of Imagination and Energy will routinely produce inferior and disappointing realities. You will create, but much of the creation will be wasteful and distressing. With the addition of Wisdom, satisfying realities can begin to be created.
This all may sound a bit abstract or philosophical, but here is where it gets extremely practical:
Rather than railing against the forces that you feel are directing and controlling you, the right approach is to instead focus on increasing these three factors. As you do so more and more, the idea of blaming anyone else will feel more and more irrelevant.
So for anyone just joining the program, quick recap:
A. Nova Elite
Created a custom around Alchemist, Quantum Limitless, and Mind’s Eye. It’s called Naissance (meaning both ‘Birth’ and ‘Immanence’). Timed things to start listening to it on my birthday.
Naissance is part of an overall stack called Nova Elite: Naissance Standard Qv2, Paths of Wealth Qv2, Jet Stream Ultima (custom booster), and Paragon Complete.
Nova is the name for the current phase and current stack of my subliminals. There were two more potential titles to be included in that stack, but I want to keep things lean. So, I’m running the 2 central customs, with 2 ultimas; thus, Nova Elite.
I don’t want to make any changes to my stack until I’m feeling definite movement and momentum with these. I love this stack.
Basic structure:
Morning Terminus meditation (I also ordered Terminus builds of my two customs). M, W, F Paths of Wealth Terminus and T, Th, Sa Naissance Terminus
Then:
Paths
Naissance
Paths
Naissance
Jet Stream
Jet Stream
Then I’d either play two loops of Paragon during the day or 2-3 loops while sleeping.
Initial Run
So, yes, started out this stack in mid-May. And I decided to start it in an unorthodox way.
I played my stack for 21 straight days (ending on 1 June 2021).
This was followed by a 12-day subliminal free period. (of which I’m now on day 9).
Why exactly did I do that? A number of reasons, but whatever the case, that experiment is, for now, complete.
I feel that the experiment has taught me to respect my stack. I’m not planning to do it again. On the contrary, when I resume on Monday, I expect to play my stack 2 times per week. First on Monday, and then on Thursday.
One element I plan to retain, however, for the foreseeable future is Terminus meditations.
I do a meditation hour with a Terminus version of my same custom subliminals. This two will only be twice a week. So that each week, I’ll have a Terminus meditation with each of my two customs.
And that is the state of things.
Here’s another one.
The role of Resolutions and Intentions.
‘Setting a Resolution’ has a particular significance in working with ‘the Unconscious’, in working magick, and in practicing meditation (contemplative practices).
The Unconscious receives and responds to a clearly placed Intention.
An example is the practice of going to sleep and pre-sleep setting the intention, ‘Tomorrow morning, I will awaken at 7:30 AM’ Often, without setting an alarm, people can still wake at the intended time.
The same principle applies in meditation practice. Take the Buddhist practice of jhana, or attentional stabilization states. An experienced practitioner can sit down and intend: “*today in my practice I will access the 3rd jhana state and explore and investigate the subjective sense of that state”
In hypnosis, Western science’s concession to the existence and potential of unconscious process, intention is a central mechanism. In that context, it’s called Suggestion or Post-Hypnotic Suggestion, and it will sound familiar as soon as you hear an example: “When you return from this trance into a normal state of waking consciousness, you will feel relaxed and refreshed. The insights and benefit that you experienced in this session will remain with you as well as the confident knowledge that you can access them whenever you need to do so.”
In magickal practice, a ritualized practice and/or image exists in order to convey an Intention across the boundary from the Known into the Beyond (or the Unknown). This dynamic of developing effective communication with the Hidden, the Beyond-self may be a good way of understanding the term ‘occult’.
1530s, “secret, not divulged,” from French occulte and directly from Latin occultus “hidden, concealed, secret,” past participle of occulere "cover over, conceal,"
All of these practices involve recognition of and cultivation of relationship with the so-called Unconscious.
I say ‘so-called’ because I do not believe it is unconscious at all. I think a more accurate term would be non-Egoic or super-Egoic. It is beyond the small ego with which we normally identify in everyday conventional interactions and experiences. But it seems to have if anything much greater Consciousness.
You’ll frequently hear in any of these practices, the principle to avoid speaking in negatives because ‘the Unconscious does not comprehend negative’ (e.g., not, never, no, etc.,). This is not so strange.
It communicates in representations and images. Try to draw a picture of a not-Giraffe. You’ll just end up drawing a picture of something else other than a giraffe. Not precisely a not-giraffe, but technically, sure, okay.
So, communication with the ‘unconscious’ can be approached similarly to drawing a picture. Focus on the specifics of what you want included in that picture. And then find your chosen method for conveying that picture, like a message in a bottle, into the arms of the Unknown.
Thank you for tagging me in this.
I like that you mention not liking the term of unconscious. I hadn’t thought of that before. Just because we are not conscious of what is going on in the depths of our mind, does not imply that it is not conscious.
We can gaze into the ocean depths pretty well. We know a lot of what happens on the surface. We’ve even made ground on learning about what lies pretty far down.
But current technology doesn’t allow us to penetrate certain depths, and much of it is a mystery (a bit mind-blowing to consider how much we don’t know about this ball of dirt).
Scientists don’t claim there’s nothing down there, they just don’t know what’s down there. I will probably be looking at the parts of my mind/psyche that I’m unaware of as simply the ‘Unknown’ 
Gives it a bit more flair and mystery, anyway.
As for seeing intentions for the Unknown to be directed, I admittedly have forgotten to do this clearly and concisely with some of my goals, so thank you!
This 
Plus, the term is a bit of a paradox as there’s nothing I know of in the universe in a state of lacking consciousness in some form…
My other gripe with the term 'Unconscious" is that it homogenizes a whole bunch of processes that seem like they’d probably be heterogeneous and diverse.
Kind of like saying that Queen Elizabeth, the Kung San of the Kalahari Desert, and Kim Jong Un all live in the same place: the Un-Brooklyn.
Despite all of this, my personal experiment to use terms other than ‘unconscious’ lasted a grand total of about 20 minutes. It’s pretty difficult to use anything else. People just won’t know what you’re talking about.
(Same way we still say ‘half-blood’ when we know damn well that blood is not the medium of biological inheritance. And we say ‘sunrise’ and ‘sunset’ though we know that the sun is sitting in one spot minding its own business. So…‘unconscious’ it is (for now)).
Another thing I’ve learned:
I’m not the most skilled person in the world at tracking difficult reconciliation.
Today is Day 9 of my 12-day rest. I’m feeling better compared to 6-8 days ago. If you’d asked me then, though, i’d probably have said, 'Well, I’m alright. Doing the best I can."
For years, I’ve embraced stoicism or pseudo-stoicism (i.e., wanna-be, tryna-be stoicism). I think that it impacts the way that I track suffering.
Another interesting thing: there’s definitely a bunch of synchronicity around how my process seems to express itself.
As I mentioned above, on the day that I decided to stop listening and start this rest period, a literal large storm broke, with high winds, lightning, and the whole deal. I also found myself needing to support someone in a crisis who was also supporting someone else going through an even rougher crisis.
Last night, I went out for my evening hike and at the highest and farthest point (about 3.5 miles from home at the top of a hill) there was a downpour. This was not a storm. It was a gentle, constant downpour. I got fully soaked, but I also enjoyed it.
By the time I was about a mile or so from home, the rains had stopped and I got air-dried by a constant gentle nighttime breeze.
Just feels like the world is speaking back to me.
Yes, I know.
I get freaking trigger happy with commas in my posts sometimes.
I use them like shuriken.
,
Perennial human dilemma:
How do you know that you truly want something if you don’t already have it?
One of those wash-rinse-repeat kinds of deals.
Another irony:
Anything that you are taught about what magick is or how to do it (including this) will itself be a magickal spell.
Magick is the act of creating associations or bonds. Between concepts, phenomena, feeling and experiential states, people.
The capacity to generate an associate and to then relate to that association as Real is the birthright of sentient imagination.
It tends to work particularly well when one neglects to notice that one is even doing it.
Day 10 of my 12-day break
At this point, I feel relatively back to normal. But I’m starting to get wiser to the sub-threshold nature of this phenomenon.
You need to listen deeper.
The ‘normal, nothing’s happening’ feeling just means that active processing is going on at a more manageable pace.
Another result/manifestation snuck up on me.
It’s always like this for me.
The result happens and then I see the connection afterwards.
There’s a certain work-related skill/knowledge area that I’ve been interested in for a long time. I’ve dabbled but haven’t just taken it on and developed competence.
Today, I got a random message from someone asking me to use that knowledge area with someone. I’m not ready yet, but I know that events like this are a sign to tell me that similar events are lining up to come to me.
So, it’s telling me to get ready in that area (and other areas that I may have been neglecting). 1) That will bring financial opportunities to me, and 2) This is Quantum Limitless/Alchemist manifesting opportunities and goads to increase my knowledge in the right areas.
When you pray for physical strength, [God] is going to give you a gym membership.
Day 11 (penultimate day) of 12-day rest period
The number of things that have been happening during this rest period really brings home how necessary it was.
Dreaming
I am not an active dreamer. Don’t tend to recall many dreams. But in the past week, I’ve experienced two nights with what felt like active dreaming (some recall, but more so just that sense that you were actively dreaming). Last night’s was interesting because I fell asleep before removing my headphones and a podcast played the whole time I was sleeping. They played a certain song about 20 minutes before I awoke and my dreaming brain just said, "Cool.’ and wove it right into the dreams. I woke up not sure if I’d dreamed the song or had actually heard it. (Turns out it was both.)
Phenomenological shift
Woke up the other day. That was the morning after the first time I felt active dreaming. Don’t know how to describe it but the ‘quality of my consciousness’ felt different. Like there was an eggshell around it. And it was interesting because I could literally feel that my dreams had been processing something that was now being expressed in how things felt. My boundaries were a little bit stronger.
Other
Then on Friday, there was the above manifestation (in the previous post) of a relevant working opportunity directly related to the first stage/goal of my current plan.
There have also been a number of small moments when I felt that the modules in my stack were finally getting a chance to integrate.
Resuming Subliminals
So, Monday will be my first day back to subliminals.
I plan to listen twice a week, on Mondays and on Thursdays.
The stacks are:
Day A
Paths of Wealth (Terminus meditation)
Paths of Wealth Standard
Naissance Standard
Paths of Wealth Standard
Naissance Standard
Jet Stream B Ultima
Jet Stream B Ultima
Paragon Complete Ultima (possibly overnight)
Paragon Complete Ultima (possibly overnight)
Day B
Naissance (Terminus meditation)
Naissance Standard
Paths of Wealth Standard
Naissance Standard
Paths of Wealth Standard
Jet Stream B Ultima
Jet Stream B Ultima
Paragon Complete Ultima (possibly overnight)
Paragon Complete Ultima (possibly overnight)
So, the stacks are basically identical, with just the Terminus meditations alternating.
Another point that I am just thinking to mention:
I’ve been experiencing some innovative insights about some subjects that I’ve been working with for a long time.
In addition to this being an expression of Quantum Limitless, I can also see that the connections are very harmonious with some of the modules in my subliminals: The Merger of Worlds, Harmonic Singularity, and others.
Some of these insights go farther back, and may relate to Alchemist and Quantum Limitless back when I was running them separately, and of course all of them are rooted in my own nature and experiences, independent of the subliminals.
There’s a particular feeling I’ve had for (I think) a long time, but it’s been deepening and becoming more prominent in my experience:
Thought, Awareness, and Attention are Physical Activities/Physical Processes.
It’s an interesting enough insight in its own right.
Where it really shines though is when you follow it through its numerous implications and ramifications. Just following the line.
Noticing, for example, the physical dimensions of a helping interaction or a communication with someone else.
This insight makes another point very clear, and it’s a point that I seem to forget on a daily basis. Including in the last day or two with my interactions here:
In developing your Reason, excessive rationality is fundamentally irrational.
To approach the brain as if it is merely a repository of logical proofs. directives, or programs is to ignore the fundamental and clear fact that the brain is an organic, physical organ.
This does not just effect the context of thinking, it also informs the content of cognition and perception.
When you’re sitting still contemplating or observing, you are engaged in a physical activity.
This is an important point. It is a guideline.
