I think that Magick is a word we use to describe connection and interaction with the patterns and processes in the vast field of Consciousness.
Constellations of Consciousness
Unfolding in Time
Hereās something:
There were certain problems and challenges that you were simply Going To Have.
It was more a question of which version of those problems youād get.
Knowing this puts things into a different context.
Itās very possible, for example, that you got the best version of that particular problem that you were going to get.
Being somewhat simple-minded, we tend to assume that the alternative to a problem is a not-problem.
That is not the case.
Very, very often; the alternative to the problem that you currently have, is yet another problem that you do not currently have.
Knowing this is what helps some people to feel genuine gratitude for a painful or uncomfortable situation.
They have seen worse alternatives. So they work with what theyāve got.
I think Iām ready for a workshop on Time.
Two more domains around which I find myself contemplating, developing, and deepening are the significance of somatic processing (integrative, cohering, grounding); and the, often unacknowledged, interpersonal aspect of individual identity and its consequences/ramifications.
Working on it.
I downloaded the beautiful new AoH subliminal.
But Iām not playing it yet. For one thing, Iām processing Revelation of Spirit. Thereās some real synergy there. For another, man, I am really committed to my stack.
With 3 program cores in each title, I donāt know if that added more time to how long I would need to process these subs. I never felt any difficulty or ill-effects; but itās also a gradual process. So I want to give it as much time as possible.
One push or urge that Iām getting now is to (possibly) really take the time to express my views and ideas about things. Iām noticing a growing impulse to articulate my senses of things. Weāll see where it goes.
Morning meditation with the Malkuth Catharsis.
It seems that I want to (possibly) write about the significance of phenomenological and somatic perspectives. I think this is something very important that needs to be better understood.
So many dreams
So many half-imagined, half-remembered dreams
Feeling the most interesting varieties of nostalgia these days.
Nostalgia to me is like an optical illusion of emotion and physicality.
Itās a thing that appears to be another thing.
Was fortunate enough to do a meditation hour this morning even though I had two meetings set up from 9 am to 11 am. It was thanks to my son who had to get up at 6 and be out by 6:45 am. I rode on that wave. And was able to meditate from 7:20 to 8:20.
Itās Thursday, so it was a subliminal day.
PHENOMENAUT Genesis feels like itās expressing so smoothly these days. My cluelessness notwithstanding.
We are the ground on which the gods (the archetypes) battle and make peace.
We are the medium of their expression in the world.
The Wave and the Particle
Consider an Instruction
Is an instruction a real thing?
Does it influence and have consequences for reality?
Yet what are its physical characteristics?
Does it have weight? Color? Momentum?
How strong do your muscles have to be in order to bear the weight of a challenging instruction? Or to toss it away from you?
Do instructions mate, combine, and reproduce?
Here we can see the limitations of the materialist paradigm.
It cannot make precise sense of an instruction.
loneliness nostalgia isolated

Consider the process of birthing a sensation
Consider the process of birthing a belief
Consider the process of birthing a feeling
Now think about interacting with these processes of birthing, shaping, flowing, adapting, and becoming
of subjective experiencing
I made a decision a long time ago,
that it was not any other person,
or any organization,
but my mindās own tendencies to Discouragement, Hopelessness, and Despair
which were the adversaries whose menace I needed to respect and against whom I must never cease to strive.
Imagination is truly the Eyes of Consciousness
The conventional āFiveā Senses (there are in fact many more and many subdivisions within them: proprioception, temperature, pressure, etc.,) are like hardwired āprogramsā of imagination. Like ROM programs in a computer. They arrive ready to run, but are only changeable within a narrow range.
What we usually think of as Open Imagination is like the trainable, malleable expression of imagination. RAM programs that can be shaped, trained, and applied, but which require more work and investment to be ready to run effectively and accurately.
Limitless: Mindās Eye
Money does not buy happiness.
Money buys Choices.
And Wise Choices bring Happiness.
