  1. @tsuki Me too. ✌️? Thanks, friend.
  2. Uniquely expressing ideas from my own experiences in life which affect others deeply and help them to resolve the disparities in their own lives regarding transformation of being. To connect deeply with others through the written word. I really have no interest in becoming a public personality other than maybe a having some degree of credibility with my ability to express through writing, ideas which connects with others on a deep level. Specifically others who struggle the greatest with resolving their own existential crises. Its an idea which often feeds me inspiration. This is in spite of having no training in composition or of being a writer.
  3. "Rome falls 9 times an hour." - Terence McKenna describing James Joyce's Ulysses. This describes the tone of my emotional life in the past when I've been disconnected from the center. Nonexpression of negative emotions is a barometer of one's enlightenment. I heard someone once say that about the process of purifying the emotional center.
  4. I CHING reading 12-2-2019 Hexagram 25 Innocence. Not Expecting/Not Projecting changing line 6 Hexagram 17 Following A small excerpt from the council of line 6 - This line also councils a person not to blame himself when he has made a mistake. Making mistakes is a part of the Cosmic Way of learning. After recognizing that he has made a mistake, all he needs to do is rid himself of the mistaken idea or belief, let go of the matter, and go on. Only the ego attaches itself to the mistake and indulges in blaming the person. The ego does this to make him afraid of learning. Accepting the ego's blame puts a poison arrow on him, and also opens the door to more blame being heaped on by the egos in others. All these consequences of accepting self blame compromise the misfortune mentioned. He can end his misfortune by freeing himself from the poison arrow of self- blame.
  5. Note to noself/Self. My days left in this body on this planet are numbered. That I'm sure. I better find a way to make them really count. Freqently being in tune and sporadically touching base with the strange attractor is my strategy for getting accurate downloads. Hot steaming showers seem to fascilitate this process. Letting go and returning to beginners mind resets the conditions which spontaneously inspire insights which initiate the process of deepening insights. Creating a space in which insights/images can display themselves brfore me in an empty un perpurbed mind. I'm patiently stalking. Stalking involves sobriety, recognizing the cubic centermeter of Chance when it appears, spontaneity born from clarity, trust and the innocence found in recognizing the good the will witnessed in others when they are vibrationally in resonance. Laughter and lightheartness ?provides extra illumination for the discernment Truth.. ?
  6. A perspective about Conscience There is a necessity for some form of ongoing sitting practice in addition to mindfulness and body awareness. We have to be able to boss our Automaton around at least a little each day in order for our being to grow. Making my Automaton sit still and not think thoughts for at least 20 minutes at a time Is my practice, called Centering Prayer. I'm a person who for years refused to practice any kind of regular meditation. Perhaps you're an athlete and already have a kinesthetic body. Can you make it sit still? Ocke: "We arouse the intelligence of the Spiritual Witness through the practice of ‘I AM’. Through ‘I AM’ we can get access to the universal ‘I AM’. This will bring us a more stable presence and therefore an intuitive intelligence, which is called the intelligence of the Heart. This intelligence will teach us to live from Conscience – that is, to do the Will of the cosmos. Our cognitive intelligence is way to slow for this process." From : http://www.higherbeingbodies.com/a-dialogue-with-ocke.html also: "Formatory thinking is only dualistic; this is to think with the most mechanical part of the intellectual center. To understand something beyond the formatory is to understand with the higher parts of both the intellectual and emotional centers. Reason of understanding is the Reason of your Being. It is the intelligence of your heart. It is literally a working together of Anahatha, the heart-chakra and Vishuda, Ajgna and Ahasrara. The three higher chakras, namely the throat, forehead and crown. The chakras are the sense organs of the Kesdjan-body. They are the same as what we call in our Work the centers. Mr. Adie knew this. This is why his sittings are so important. Doing these will lead to a higher vibration-level of the sense-organs of the Kesdjan body. This will enable you to contact and to receive the higher hydrogens of Work-ideas – these have their residence in the Kesdjan-body of the Earth. The mind is just an over-valued computer and it is not much help in the growing of the Reason of understanding." Ocke: "Remorse will bring conscious suffering. This is to see and feel your own mechanical behaviour or negativity and seeing you can’t do anything about it. Conscious suffering will bring the Work deeper in you and therefore will increase your being so that conscience can speak. It will give a constant and unflagging need to work and enable you to pass the first threshold. Conscious suffering is the medicine to make the Automaton surrender to the Permanent Witness. The Automaton is an instrument. The Permanent Witness has to learn how to use it. This process comes into being with man number four." I love this sentence.- Conscious suffering is the medicine to make the Automaton surrender to the Permanent Witness.
  7. Knowing your body, and creating an energy body, are the first two steps on the Wisdom path. Your study of this book/web should be accompanied by some type of body and energy work, otherwise the full meaning of the concepts in this book will never become clear. The ideas presented presuppose an experience of body/energy Awareness, considered by most to be an "altered state of consciousness". Without this background and experience with the body and the soul, you will not be able to make sense of many of the ideas. Isolated development of the spirit alone, without a solid foundation in the body and soul, is simply not possible. from : http://www.chanceandchoice.com/course-overview/brain-and-mind/ another excerpt from the same page - When you are in head centered ego dominated consciousness, you are functioning at the lowest level. It is equivalent to the ground state of the atom where all electrons are in the lowest energy position. To reach awareness and attain mastery you must increase your energy level. You do this by creating a kinesthetic body from out of chaotic imagination. The bioenergies then become a Vehicle of Awareness, a link with the total Self, the right brain and the Universe. Then the new "I" linked with All can develop, create and act. This is the path to reality - the fourth dimension - where the Mandelbrot formula applies for navigation through chaos.

  9. Lose a front tooth and immediately experience being marginalized by the majority of people you encounter. I also saw this in myself, as the one who judged others for such things. For appearances. I saw some of my automatic judgements. Afterward I was a little bit freer. It's ok to have preferences. It doesn't matter. Cuture endorses acquired Conscience which changes from Culture to Culture. Inner quiet and peace is experienced with Awakened Conscience. Which is universal. It's in the language of the smile. Nobody seems to really want this.
  10. https://iasos.com/metaphys/bashar/ Thanks @Waken Great resource for Bashar. Lots of links inside. Ive just partially discovered him for myself within the last year. From the link you gave I just found a clip of where he was questioned about dmt. https://youtu.be/-Gjc9hhhtro
  11. Having abandoned modern dental care years ago, I look crazy if I smile or laugh big. Back in the 90's a friend introduced me to the idea of making my own colloidal silver. I learned how to clear up infection in a tooth in about 2-3 days. But it hasn't prevented most of them from slowly rotting out. I'm really ok about it as long as I can find soft foods to eat.
  12. I have no idea what this is,,,? Guess I'm officially schizophrenic.

  14. I had forgotten about this great Fourth Way Website. http://www.rahul.net/raithel/otfw/fourthway.html An excerpt - The scientific information contained in these essays is generally accepted and can be found on the web or in popular modern books. What is different here and not contained in those sources, is the organization or ordering of the information. In particular, the structure applied here is based on my understanding of the fourth way. It may seem strange to see fourth way ideas expressed in terms of modern scientific thought, but much of the fourth way cosmology is supported by modern science (albeit unwittingly). It would appear, to one who values the fourth way even above modern science, to give modern science a special validity, especially in that area of modern endeavor known as quantum physics. In a similar way, we can find correspondences between modern psychological and neurological discoveries with fourth way ideas, but again the interpretation of the information, its meaning, is understood differently. I am writing this and publishing it here because I think it is a useful example of how work on the fourth way (called, simply, "the work") can lead us into a more active and personal relationship with the world in which we find ourselves. We now find an announcement of some new scientific discovery intriguing, know what relates or might relate to it, "where it belongs" so to speak, and how it might add to our understanding in many different areas. We read a myth and suddenly gain an insight into something the inventors were trying to tell us. The fourth way enables us to integrate knowledge with life and so forge a path of ever-increasing understanding and wonder.
  15. Good question. The I Ching advises me to not look the other person in the eye if I have been treated unjustly because it only feeds the painbody of the other person. Also it counsels to ask in an inner way for the other persons higher self to come into the picture while you're in their presence. In a sense, to become a placeholder for them while they are controlled by the reactivity of the ego.
  16. One of my practices is avoiding verbal expressions of negative emotions. This does mean I repress them but rather not give expression to them. It's crucial to feel what ever you feel and to sit with it completely. Feeling them fully but not identify with whatever arises. It can be a very difficult thing to do but when I'm able to sit with and "cook" until some inner processing provides relief or understanding - To use a metaphor. We can feel spiritual coin added to the account of our being. This process in in itself increases that capacity for sitting with difficult things which will arise in the future and not get swept away by identifying with thoughts or emotions. Gurdjieff referred to it as "good cooking". It's not an easy thing and there is also benefit in watching oneself Failing (going over the waterfall.) The more we practice, even observing our failures, the stronger this capacity becomes. In short, totally feel what you feel but don't give verbal expression of negative emotion. This grows one's Being and the capacity for non-identification. Gurdjieff used to give newlyweds cheap dishes to through and smash against the wall as an alternative to being overtaken by word vomit. Angry word vomit causes loss of chi energy.
  17. Being is spontaneity. Mind is reactive. "Worry is preposterous" - Terence McKenna
  18. Set and setting,,,, in relation to peak breakthroughs. Silence is golden but It's also interesting the effects of having very high quality sound equipment combined with a stiff dose of 5 meo dmt with eyes closed. Different genres of music as well.
  19. I've watch Akilesh's podcast twice and Just watched this one by Martin Butler on Kant. I thought these videos were complementary to one another.
  20. Sounds like Heaven on Earth. ?
  21. Thanks @DrewNows i just watched the video @pluto shared. I like the distinctions he makes about anger and attention.
  22. I like ? @JustThinkingAloud Thsnks!
  23. "Suddenly I realized I had carried around unconsciously for five years, a masturbation fantasy about Wilma Flintstone." - George Carlin Sexual energy is considered a center unto itself in the Fourth Way Work. A system of seven centers.
  24. I was born in 1967 so I kinda grew up in the 70's-80's. Thank you. When I quit cigarettes and stayed on pain pills for a few weeks, I fell in love with Warren Beaty for a short time. It's the only time in my life that I felt really gay. Particularly Warren Beaty in his role in Heaven can wait. This was about 20 years ago.
