Some dreams really just feel like you’re chilling with real people.
Actually many of my dreams. And most of them unremembered.

So much to learn.
So much to learn.
Learning requires strength. Stability. Humility. Weakness. Flexibility.

One way of seeing things:
In general, I have three categories of goals, projects, growth dimensions, etc.,
-
Inner Processes. This can be captured by the Kabalistic term: Kether. Heaven. Consciousness. The Ether. The realm of dreams, concepts, cognition, ideas, vision, imagination, insight.
-
Bridging Processes (Building the connections between inner experience/process and outer conditions, relationships, and circumstances)
-
External Projects and Circumstances. These can be captured in the Kabalistic term: Malkuth. The material, substantive, tangible expression of things. That which has been established, built, and which exists in form.
Being who I am, the first category, Inner Processes, Kether, is the one in which I feel constant activity and engagement.
The last category, External Project and Circumstances, is the one in which I tend to feel the least engagement.
My journey with Subliminal Club has been about crossing the divide, weaving the connection, and bridging the gap. Thus, my first journal here was called
My results show up quickly and clearly on the level of Kether. But my results show up gradually on the level of Malkuth.
But I am finding that the BRIDGE between them is gradually emerging and coming into being.
That bridge for me is represented in the subliminal GENESIS. For me, it’s much, much more than a ‘beginner’s program’. For some people, that’s all it would be. But since a big part of my life’s work involves forging my “Bifrost”, my bridge from Kether to Malkuth, then for me Genesis is a major, major program of central and profound importance.
And amazingly, I’m finding that it’s working.
It’s gradual. And I’ve repeatedly gotten the guidance: Trust the Process. It’s not just about Malkuth for you. It’s about Kether AND Malkuth. From Kether TO Malkuth.
There’s a timing to that.
And I’m here for it.

I’m diving deeper into the work of Eugene Gendlin. It’s the perfect thing to be doing right now.
As I move forward, I’ll dive into the work of Milton Erickson, Ira Progoff, Gregory Bateson/Nora Bateson, Stephen Gilligan. And Maxine Sheets-Johnstone.
This is it.
These are the right ideas.
How much time will I have for this?
I don’t know. But I know, at least, that it’s the right direction.
And what tangible products will come from this.
I don’t know.
We will see.

Three legs of the tripod
It seems that an intellectual landscape may be opening up and clarifying.
With a deepening perspective on the psychic and consciousness development of a human being, life and history look very different. The relationship between time and cultural/social continuity seems less coherent and inevitable. Each generation iterates a society. There are many, many blips and disjunctures under the surface.
We cannot observe our learning process and we do not remember it or even experience it very clearly. This leads us to rewrite or simply construct history. Very inaccurately.
No crime here. But it is worth noting.
Imbue my mind with the flexibility to find, recognize, and receive the answers I seek. And better questions than I’ve already asked.
Meditating on how people learn, grow, and become.
A meta-perspective on consciousness-as-object.
So far, I can’t think of anything more valuable than that. The ability to contemplate, regard, and observe consciousness as a process.
It’s tenuous for me, but it’s golden.
People are constantly framing personal growth as a series of insights or cognitive realizations.
I do not think that is wrong, but I relate to my growth more as a physical, somatic process. Especially since I’ve been a person who has been intellectually and analytically active throughout life. Frankly, that’s actually what led me to this place of somatic framing.
This is the core of my path.

Mind and consciousness as physical processes.
In my 20s and 30s, I worked to deconstruct (or refine) many of my ideas and concepts. Eventually, I found a kind of intellectual openness. And that only revealed to me all the more clearly the extent of how much I needed to do on the physical, experiential, somatic level.
I’ve more or less been working on this since then. Although kind of slowly sometimes.
I’m not saying that I attained intellectual mastery. I did not. But I did attain a kind of intellectual neutrality and stability.
Feeling a bit paralyzed.
We have to learn how to be humble in our pride.
Intellectualization as a coping strategy and a defense mechanism.
