Today, I’ve found myself thinking in terms of three phases:
- Adaptation Phase
- Working Phase
- Integration Phase
In the adaptation phase, my mindbody system is making the structural changes that are necessary in order to process and handle the growth stimulated by the subliminals. If you’ve got a reservoir of water and you want to send that water out to everyone in a village or city, then you need to build a structure of pipes, etc., and those pipes need to be sturdy and strong enough to accommodate the pressure of the water that will flow inside of them. In this phase, results may be slower but we’ll notice a lot of internal features like dreams and thoughts.
As the system makes more and more of those changes, at some point we pass a threshold. The system has adapted well enough to handle a whole lot of that stimulation. Adaptation will keep going on in the background, but we’re now moving into the Working Phase. My mindbody system can receive and respond to the messages and possibilities in the program. Results and external manifestations start picking up steam and increasing in speed and power.
Over time, with that continued flow of stimulation and effective responses to stimulation, we get used to a new way of being. We have stabilized our relationship to these new resources and options and can explore them, play around with them, and make them a part of our life. This is the Integration Phase.
Anyway, I found myself thinking about that today.
I’m running three big customs right now. I seem to be functioning relatively decently, so the arrangement is sustainable. At the same time though, it takes a longer time for my bodymind system to structurally adapt so it can easily respond to all of the input. So, I’m having a longer Adaptation Phase. I’m noticing ongoing subtle changes and manifestations, but I think that at some point things will cross that threshold point and pick up greater momentum.
I guess that if I had chosen just one of these customs, then my adaptation phase would have taken less time.
But I’m willing to take the time, even a year, to adapt to this machine that I’m running. I want all the parts to work in tandem. Synergy.
As my system moves through the ups and downs of adaptation, sometimes I feel excited and sometimes I feel discouraged. The “view” outside of my window changes; and it impacts my momentary feelings and moods. But overall, I am okay.
I have a long-term orientation to time, and I’m generally fine with building up momentum gradually. Eventually, we will reach that escape velocity and start to fly.
