The dominant evolutionary agenda when it comes to human beings is probably not much more than Survival and Reproduction. If you leave the system on auto-pilot, you’ll probably wind up with someone with whom you can do those two basic things: survive. (check.) reproduce. (check).

There’s nothing there about happiness, satisfaction, peace, contentment, meaning, and so on.

Those are real. And yes they do matter. But you’re going to have to take care of those yourself. Evolutionary inertia and momentum have their hands full with just Survival and Reproduction.

Most people probably do not spend anywhere near enough time deeply understanding who their partners are as people in the world. We’re usually more concerned with various expressions of what could be thought of as Fitness. How “Fit” is this person? Fit for childbirth. Fit for building a home. Fit for navigating society. And so on.

Nothing wrong with that. But we need to go further.

Beyond just the fitness of the person, we need to think about the Functions and Purpose of the person.

You won’t find out a person’s purpose by socializing, sexing, or dating. To know a person’s purpose, you have to watch them as they enact that purpose.

But the other half of the equation is that you also need to explore your own.

Eventually, after you’ve fucked and procreated (if that’s your path), and after all the dust settles, it’s probably going to be the combination of your (barely understood) purpose and the other person’s (barely understood) purpose that ends up determining the course and the fate of the relationship.

It’s a lot less interesting than Ass Shapes and Youthful Vigor.

And, in our defense, also much harder to understand.

Everything comes back to mind.

Every external condition that you want; you want because you believe it will allow you to feel or perceive something.

Feelings and perceptions are events in consciousness.

Your life and your experiences are a bunch of very useful data points that cannot be generalized out to all of humanity.

People constantly gain wonderful insight and make great beneficial strides in their own lives, and then make the mistake of feeling they’ve identified some fundamental rule or law for all human beings.

Great point! I am beginning to think this is especially true for manifesting the life I want.

If I listen to a generalization and think it’s true, how can I be the exception unless I be exceptional?

Being true to myself and learning from my experiences is more authentic and will lead to a real spiritual life.

For the last 3 or 4 weeks or so, my body has been waking up between 5 and 7 am without an alarm.

Today was no exception.

I woke at 5 am. Stayed up for about an hour and then I made myself go back to bed and lie down until after 8. I didn’t want to get too exhausted during the day time.

It’s afternoon now and I’m still feeling tired. So, I’m glad for the extra time that I took.

Right now:

Very busy at work. Little time for very much else.

Low money. But staying afloat.

Percolating and growing ideas and plans.

These days I keep having perceptual flashes about the memetic nature of human beings: from DNA and morphology to ideas and beliefs to social and cultural forms.

Dragon Reborn dissolves trauma-based rigidities of perception and habit. I don’t know how it works exactly; but it liberates potential that has been frozen in stasis.

I suddenly find myself playing piano again; practicing taijiquan again.

Ironically, one subtle form of dysfunctional fixation can itself be the determination to heal and fix things. The desperate rigidity of how we define the problem(s), the solution(s), and the acceptable means and avenues for bringing about solutions can paradoxically cut us off from our potential.

It’s that age-old tension between the roads and paths to fulfillment that society has emphasized, and the roads and paths that are present and optimal for you.

Recognizing and drawing on your potential is a high art form—not mere common-sense. We are often not taught or trained in how to best do this.

Dragon Reborn seems to do that teaching and that training.

I am also noticing how shadowy and foggy, how vague and blurry, so much of my memory of my past is.

Of course, this is a sign of progress.

You only notice your limitations when you have learned enough to put your abilities into a new perspective.

So, I’ll be grateful for it.

From this perspective, the perspective of human beings as complex memetic structures–structures of memetic conveyance and propagation–a human being is, essentially, a tunnel, a passageway.

Knowing very little of passageways and their functional natures, we then treat them as beautiful (or terrible) structures, complete unto themselves; never realizing that the fundamental significance of a tunnel is about what it allows to pass through; what it brings through.

When you meet a person, when you interact with a person, you are encountering a doorway into a world that is beyond that person.

Spending all of your time responding to the door and not to the world on the other side of the door, you will be continually shocked and confused about where all of these things and these issues, that you never requested, came from.

The first question to ask when evaluating and deciding whether to engage with a tunnel is not “How beautiful and attractive and ornate is this tunnel?”, but rather “To where does this tunnel lead?“

And this simple point trips us up all the time and will continue to do so.

By evolutionary logic, I guess that, to some extent, each and everything that is here j(ust about) is a remnant of something that, at some point in the past, worked.

Am finding a significant bit of internal shadow work happening in the last week or two.

Definitely has its not-fun moments.

But I am deeply appreciating the Dragon Reborn Gold journey and the Ecstasy of Gold journey.

Man, @Lion, I love it.

Confused as anything. But that tends to be how I do things.

Like I said above, I’ve had some real Shadow-Work going on. Things that are unusual for me. I had some psychic sensitivity events. I woke up from a dream that was a journey to a very odd and Shadow-energy place. I’ve engaged with different aspects of “spiritual” practice, and felt great about it. I’ve been facing some of my feelings of failure and loss.

All of this.

At the same time, true to the spirit of Dragon Reborn Gold, I have been having deep and profound experiences of connection and leadership. Facilitating others.

And glimpses of what I hope is my path.

A lot of stuff.

I’ve also had some beneficial health and healing transitions.

As far as my real-world life circumstances, that’s a bit more muddled. I’m not at a point of resolution, in work, relationships, etc.

We shall see!

And thank you, as always, for asking!
