Today is my first practical test of the Free Pass module. Heading over to the US Consulate General to arrange passports for my son and myself.
Things seemed to go smoothly.
Helpful people. No complications. 45 minutes basically, in and out.
Iām feeling the difference with these full-loops since 30 May. Thereās a noticeable intensification. I worked up to this over several months, and it seems that that was a good idea.
Push-ups target today was 68 on the first set.
I stalled out at 67.5. (Phone started ringing with an incoming call when I was at about 50 or so. Might that have thrown me off? Who knows.). Still a good workout.
So Iāll be repeating this workout in 2 or 3 days. Maybe Iāll get it that time. Next time Iāll try to remember to turn on āDo not disturbā.
Itās very interesting.
Iām feeling gratitude for my life. And for my work. I just feel like I have a little more capacity. And, honestly, thatās what it takes. Whenever I have more capacity, gratitude comes and fills in the spaces. When the capacity goes, I may forget it again.
I havenāt done my subliminal listens today. I was already kind of tired.
I woke up at 7 or so, after about 6 hours of sleep. Eventually, I meditated. Did another kind of practice. Tried to do the next push-ups workout. Then showered. Later, I cooked myself some breakfast: two fried eggs, diced portobello mushrooms, and diced okra, all with fried onions and a light tap of sesame oil. Was good.
Then I came to my office to get ready for tomorrowās meeting.
Here I am.
Iām also finding that engagement with ideas and concepts seems to work better when I can introduce more space and context (and distance?) around them.
This involves bringing specific beneficial somatic or bodily states to activities of intellectual engagement.
On the one hand, thereās a focused engagement with the idea, the article, the reading; on the other hand, thereās a grounded confident comfort in the homebase of my own experience of being in and knowing the world. These two seem to balance each other out in beneficial ways.
Meanwhile the agile swallows are still āaerobatā-ing outside of the window. Theyāre having a busy Saturday afternoon. Right now, there seem to be about 12 to 15 of them, gyring and swooping away. Tracing circles with about a 15-foot radius at their widest.
Hey Malkuth! Have you updated your customs with the Synergy modules yet? I think you might have talked about it in a previous post but I canāt remember.
Hey @Lion! Always great to see you.
I havenāt yet.
I really like my customs exactly as they are. Iād like to give them the chance to really work with me, and later at some point, Iāll look into adjusting them.
A wise decision indeed!
1 loop each of my Malkuth Catharsis custom programs today. My first time to play BUILD in Ultrasonic.
Itās been a few hours and I feel comfortable. Iāll take that as a good sign.
Iāve just been working away on prepping for a meeting tomorrow.
Iām noticing that my results often seem to show up first on the intellectual level. Interesting, because this is also the way that my spiritual development went in the past.
Our actions and choices are largely driven by repressed, implicit, and half-unconscious emotional patterns.
Weāve evolved to do it this way because it, by and large, works.
My Wealthy Life is founded on spiritual, intellectual, intuitive engagement.
Iām getting opportunities to develop more faith in my capacity and ability.
These tend to arrive at first looking like āchallengesā. But that is actually a little misleading.
The only way for you to gain an experiential familiarity with your resources is to encounter opportunities that invite you to use and apply those resources. The āparadoxā is: if you are currently unfamiliar with those resources, then the opportunities will not appear to be opportunities at all. You only realize that they were opportunities retroactively once you have discovered that you actually possessed, all along, what was needed to deal with those situations.
Our contemporary, modern societies do not have nuanced or developed frameworks for exploring or understanding Consciousness. Objectivist materialism, as a paradigm, is primitive when it comes to developing an account of Consciousness. It canāt even decide if consciousness is really there.
Woke from fairly active dreaming this morning.
Not a huge amount to say these days.
I feel kind of like this guy:
Iāve got my hose (i.e., my growth methods) and Iām aiming to fill up my pool (i.e., to realize and bring to fruition my dreams and aspirations).
My hose is in good working order, but the bottom line is: itās going to take a while. Things are in process, and thatās not just understandable, itās actually great. Yet, thereās still this sense of unpredictability and, at times, doubt.
At the same time, thereās something reasonable and comforting about Just Working On Things.
Staying the Course.
Anyway, I seem to find little things to type out and share in this my journal.
i am arguing in favor of a subjectivity/phenomenogically-based, consciousness-oriented ontological paradigm.
For the life of me I have never understood why consciousness, the thing we directly experience is considered the offshoot of the universe, the thing we only experience through and as consciousnessā¦ā¦
