Yesterday I felt tired and low energy. In a somatic and cognitive space of discouragement.
And there was that thought, “Am I processing? Or is this just how life is?” I wondered how much of this was an interaction with the subliminal. And how much of this was just me facing the reality of my life and my self.
So interesting.
It started to break up a bit more in the evening. But I was pretty much tired for the whole day.
Truth is, it wasn’t that bad; particularly because I’ve experienced much harder times in the past.
Also, there seems to be a very small part of my consciousness that just watches what’s happening and eats popcorn, no matter what’s going on. I suspect that part of what meditation has done has been to feed that part.
I wonder how much of that is my post-Dragon Reborn processing happening. That makes sense to me.
Did a bit of working with music last night. Took a sketch from last October and filled it out a bit more.
Thought a woman’s voice would sound good on it. So, sent it over to a friend to see if she gets any ideas.
Here’s the current iteration:

And—just like clockwork—today I’m having beautiful experiences of creative engagement and unfolding.

Hmm…
Not sure how you mean the question.
Everything has many meanings.
But, I would say, “I think so”.
I personally use it:
- to connect to the Divine
- to acknowledge that all plans, projects, and undertakings have their true origins, true beginnings, and true context in the Divine, and
- to invite awareness of this connection and this context to be present in how I bring this vision into reality
It also:
- connects me to everyone else who has found this same awareness and who has said this same prayer
But that’s me.
How about for you?

Thank you.
It’s beautiful.
And as I begin this next phase of my journey (I will start a new journal in August, I think), I will say:
Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem!
It has taken three years to reach this point.
I’m ready (I hope) to begin.

If my following my path and becoming who I am causes you to disrespect me,
then I am grateful to have achieved the honor of your disrespect

This is truly beautiful brother!
If you want any help in understanding what that means. I would love to explain with the best of my abilities.
That phrase has a very very very deep meaning, which transcends way beyond the English translation
Just in case you are interested to learn the accurate phrase
“Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim”

I’m still actively processing Dragon Reborn.
This month of washout is very necessary.

If your energy levels are low, be skeptical of the thoughts and perceptions you’re having. They’re likely to be more about your own energetic condition than about the objective conditions in the world.
Most people move through life somewhat oblivious and ignorant of our internal energetic states. Instead, we project those states onto the world around us and use our imaginations to behave as if they are coming from the outside.
In a world as rich and diverse as ours, it’s an easy enough task to find evidence to support whatever your internal states happen to be. And that’s the best strategy to avoid taking responsibility for them.
Frightened people focus on the dangerous possibilities that exist in the world and imagine that they are constantly encroaching.
Angry, aggressive people focus on the presence of offensive, disrespectful, and unfair people around them.
And so on.
But if you’re in a movie theatre and there seems to be a problem with the movie that’s playing, you’re usually sometimes better off addressing the problem by first checking the film projector than you are in trying to deal with it by wiping off the movie screen.

You’re exactly right.
The subliminal washout seems like a good time to do a little forum washout as well.
Thank you, brother, for looking out.
And thanks @Chase and @Sub.Zero.
I’ll be on about 3 more weeks of subliminal washout.
Last week, in particular, there was a lot of instability, doubt, and recon being processed. My mind and energy have been adjusting and re-stabilizing. Being quiet felt like a timely practice. And I’m still finding it useful. I’ll probably keep being quiet for a while longer.
But my spirit is with you, wishing you well.

6 days left in my washout, including today. It will have been 31 days. A full month.
I feel like I still need these remaining 6 days.
A year, more or less, of Dragon Reborn.
And from 16 May to July 11, I ramped up the intensity. I listened to Dragon Reborn as one of the cores of a Terminus-build custom. At the same time, I was also playing a Terminus2 build based on Paragon Complete.
I knew that after July 11, it would be quite a long time before I played these Healing Programs again. So I decided to go for it and to do a last strong push. I think I’m glad that I did, but at the same time, I also kind of feel that the processing of that has required this whole month, and I suspect it will continue to process and execute for some time afterwards.
When I start on the coming Friday, it will be with a new custom subliminal, just one program: SAPIENS ZP Terminus2.
I plan to listen once every 4 days. And when I begin I will open a new journal for this new leg of my journey.
I plan to call it: MALKUTH, Building : BUILDING, Malkuth
