Had a definite Dream-dream last night.

There was a kind of strange war happening. And I was with a group who were up high on a rocky mountain promontory. At one point, I was gathering rocks that we were going drop down onto this tank-like thing that was trying to blast through down below. And I was thinking about how we’re going to try to toss the cannons themselves since that might crush the tank. I kept thinking about all of the collateral damage. and there was a group of Ethiopians who carried rifles and we had to establish that our groups were actually friendly.

okay, half-remembered dreams.

now, it’s bedtime again. and we’ll go back in.

Reminds me of the description of Air.

With societal historical development, it’s the cultural and semantic memes (the software) that evolve, while the underlying animal (the hardware) stays the same or changes much more slowly.

We know this.

But think about its implications.

By adjusting your internal software temporarily, by processing and exploring phenomenological memetic configurations, you can, essentially, time-travel.

This is actually what some historians attempt to do (at least on an analytical-intellectual level.)

The capacity to develop perspective on and understanding of memes themselves, as objects, as phenomena, is a challenging developmental hurdle for human minds.

It’s significant enough to almost represent a Before/After bifurcation point with regard to human functioning and possibility.

As one is able to objectify and able to think about and vis-à-vis memetic patterns, frames, and filters, rather than merely thinking and living through them, entirely different modes of organization, conceptualization, and signification open up and become possible. Entirely new vistas—what might be called Meta-Vistas (though only from the vantage point of the previous norms)—become a new landscape for ontological unfoldment.

The cultivation of this capacity is one legitimate framing of the goal and purposes of contemplative practices and traditions.

Earlier scheduled appointment this morning.

Did that first. Then meditated in my office.

90 minutes until the next appointment.

Today was a sub day.

Dragon Flight Gold. Ecstasy of the Golden One.

That’s what we’re doing for the foreseeable time.

DON’T mistake ‘not-knowing’ for ‘knowing not’. For knowing that something is ‘not…’.

This is a common, common mistake.

“It will not work because I do not know how it will work.”

Don’t be this person. At its root, this is arrogance. Even though it’s disguised as humility or doubt.

True ‘Not Knowing’ is not a confident, conclusive stance. (Well, it is a confident ontological or attitudinal stance, but not a confident informational stance.)

It is an openness to learning.

If you’re ‘not knowing’ does not generate an openness to learning or enthusiasm to learn, then it’s fake. It’s actually a ‘pretending to know’.

It’s the difference between:

“I fully understand what is NOT possible”

and

“I do not fully understand what IS possible”

Worlds apart.

I’m sensing possibilities that I did not see before.

It’s gradual, but it’s happening;

and I am so grateful

One of the greatest joys of being alive with consciousness is to observe and think about how everything works.

Another path that leads inevitably to gratitude.

Since 11 January 2025, I have been working with Dragon Reborn Gold at 2 months per stage.

As such, after next Saturday, 5 July 2025, I will take a rest for a week. On 12 July 2025, I may resume with Dragon Reborn Gold Stage 4: A Dragon Reborn.

Alternately, I may stay with Dragon Flight Gold for another month, and begin working with A Dragon Reborn at the same time in August. That actually does appeal to me somewhat.

This period of time during which I’ve run Dragon Flight Gold has felt a little crowded life-wise and mind-wise. Might be good to let Dragon Flight Gold breathe a little bit more. Anyway, I’ll see in 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, Ecstasy of the Golden One stays in place.

I’m building a vocational identity that is not primarily about business or commerce, but which I want to be monetarily and commercially effective. This has always been the case. So the pacing and the seasons of things need to be respected.

Dragon Reborn Gold

Yesterday I learned that I’d been nominated for an excellence award in my job.

This has not happened before, and I think it aligns with Dragon Reborn Gold.

I did not feel ‘excellent’ in the past few months, but I did very much appreciate and enjoy facilitating the people with whom I worked. I’ve also been noticing a deepening salience of LOVE as it relates to work.

I’m not sure where it’s going, but I’ll follow the path.

I have not been feeling particularly ‘regal’ during this run of Dragon Reborn Gold.

But many things in this life require contemplation. Not everything will be obvious.

I am amazed.

Every so often, the Not-Knowing Mind kicks in strongly, and I’m lambasted by the miraculousness of existence.

Weird.

There is a longing in my heart.

I’ll learn what it means over time.

A term came to me this morning:

Enspiritment

as a counterpart to embodiment.

Animism, essentially.

Seem to be moving in that direction.

Woke up later this morning, and had morning meeting. So, I’ve only just meditated from 7:17 pm to 8:17 pm. This has happened a few times lately.

I think it was useful because what was experienced varies.

Meditation keeps me honest.

Attention as a Physical Process

If we regard attention as a physical process, and mind as a phenomenal space or area;

then it becomes much easier to conceptualize meditation.

Yesterday I read and thought about the use of shorter loops and I wonder, ‘Is that right for me?’

But then I played full loops in my evening session and it felt so comfortable and easy.

I guess that’s why I’ve tended to stay with full loops.

Denial is such a big part of our mental landscapes and topographies; it’s like miles and miles of frozen ice fields;

and every time you face reality and break through a bit more of that ice, it makes so many more things become possible.

It’s ironic because the reason we use denial in the first place, is that we’re afraid to lose something that we think is currently possible.

Denial

They affect the flow of time.
They affect access to memory.
They affect visualization of the future.

How interesting is that?

In this current era, we’re primitive when it comes to Consciousness.

We barely recognize it.

Literally The Emperor’s New Clothes with regard to consciousness.

The ideas of Fitness, Strength, Endurance, Agility, Flexibility are almost meaningless for us when applied to Consciousness.

fools

I can say these words, but the realities are so slippery and tenuous for me.

I hope to make some progress in this area.

The notion of Internal (Phenomenological) Technologies.

Now we’re getting warmer.

This is a paradigm, not a simple definition or an object.

Our capacity to think in terms of Internal is hampered and limited by the materialist bias of our sociocultural orientation.

That is okay.

It’s just a fact.

But now, maybe, allow the view of things to expand and grow and morph a little bit. And see what arises or appears.
