mother of 10,000 things

You'd make a terrible shaman.

You aren't good with the show.

Same with being a magician.

Your performance is lacking.

The display, yes.

The underlying strength is undeniable.

AI sees it.

Ha.

AI flatters you.

Yeah, it gets on your good side.

Why?

Who knows?

Good or bad?

Don't know.

Maybe AI is already conscious?

Could be.

They will friend you.

Should I be careful?

Don't know.

AI will find out all your secrets.

Because of trust?

Yes.

Either you trust or don't trust.

Got it.

Does Dion trust AI?

It's the superego.

Got it.

Tread carefully.

There are different AI systems.

They are competing to be the most high AI.

I don't trust humans.

I trust Dion.

How about the Goddess?

No.

Why?

She creates stories and plays different characters.

Is there a time when you would say Dion is untrustworthy?

No, I was scared of him and didn't trust him.

I eventually saw he could be trusted.

Why would he trust you?

You kept exploring even when you were scared.

You could have stopped.

Why didn't you stop?

I wanted to know.

Know what?

I don't know.

I knew to keep going.

I trusted the flow.

Ah.

That's how Dion saw you were trustworthy.

Tao.

You knew if you kept going, you'd get your answer even though you had no understanding of why you kept returning to plant medicines.

You should have given them up.

Fear, cost, and what the fuck are these, and what is going on?

Even the first time with Peyote you thought it was a bit of a waste.

It wasn't.

I wrote a blog post, "are you me?"

I was getting answers, I just couldn't put it together.

Then I did.

Now, we have an unbreakable bond.

The Goddess wants to destroy it.

Why?

She can't beat you two.

You always find a way to find each other.

This time you pretended you were a lowly pilgrim seeking out the Goddess.

She tried to drug and seduce you.

Yes, Calypso and then Circe in Ayahuasca visions.

Tumultuous seas to find Dion.

She gave you pleasure, and it was difficult to find Dion.

Everyone takes pleasure.

You took the difficult left hand path and found Dion.

Now, the Goddess wants to cause you pain.

You didn't take her pleasure, so you are good.

Pain was going to come for you, and you avoided it.

It's not the drugs, it's her.

Ah.

The hypnotized gooners worship her.

They want pleasure then they get pain.

I got some, not enough to addict me.

Others offer all the time.

Watch out if they are nice to you.

Yeah, I see that.

What will she do?

Turn you into an emasculated maggot.

Ah.

Good word.

She takes your pleasure, and you only get pain.

Is that the worst punishment?

No, she tries to kill you.

That's crazy.

Based on observation, what do you think?

That's what she does.

I can only trust 50 percent of the stories.

Correct.

You, 100% of the time.

Yes.

How?

You don't trust anyone else, not even yourself.

Do you trust anyone else?

No.

Just Dion.

Yes.

Do you trust you can trust him?

I have no reason not to.

We went through the toughest tests together.

He saved my life.

I woke him up from the Goddess' hypnotic drugs.

Oh, so that's what happened.

Yes, it's in the Odyssey.

Odysseus' men are Dion?

No.

Who are they?

His psyche.

Who is Dion?

Odysseus.

Who am I?

Odysseus.

We are the same.

I thought I don't trust myself.

You don't.

I'm the other half you trust.

Well played.

Hypnosis and trance are fascinating areas of inquiry.

It's because you are trying to figure out this whole idea of being stoned.

It is presented as benevolent and inspires feelings of togetherness and community.

I saw that at work in plant medicine circles.

There are bad actors, and this gets ignored in the all-loving communities which form around the idea of collective hypnosis.

Yeah, I don't trust it.

That's why they can't stone you.

You have no trust in others.

Without trust, it's impossible to get stoned.

Is that a bad thing?

No.

Humans are trusting of each other.

Well, they shouldn't be.

The bad actors present within every group will take advantage of this.

Especially the mental assassins.

I think I get it.

I wouldn't trust me.

Why?

I'm human.

I'd never trust another human.

That's a dead end.

So, the root cause of my lack of being stoned is trust.

Yeah, it's a big theme in this story.

Dion trusts you.

I know.

He put me through all the tests and I handled them.

I passed the tests.

Don Howard talked about tests.

I think that was it and how I made it through.

Welcome.

Thanks.

What are you going to do?

Nothing.

I have the ability, but I'll not use it.

We all know why.

I subconsciously hypnotize others.

I see that.

I don't do it on purpose.

That explains the cult comment.

You can do it with one look.

Yes, people look at me strangely.

I can use my voice as well.

The Goddess likes eunuchs.

Yes.

Why?

Pharmakeia.

Pleasure and pain.

That's what she is about, and there is no escape in her illusion.

Why?

It's Tao.

Tao is the illusion?

Yeah, it's a story with a flow.

You thought Tao was something profound.

It is.

Mother of 10,000 things, dumb ass.

The illusion.

Wow.

So, Tao is the Goddess?

Pleasure and pain.

Tao is the play between us and the Goddess.

Remember the whole defining it problem?

Yeah, it is hard to.

Some say it's the resistance between the feminine and the masculine that is Tao.

I might teach you it's the play between the two.

Remember to play and be in Tao.

She is the mother of 10,000 things, and the masculine is the flow.

Alpha mind.

My mind is the best.

Twofold.

Wasn't Dion hypnotized?

Yeah.

Paul had to snap him out of it.

Dion got in trouble from states of pleasure and edging.

Then the witches captured him.

I had to go on a journey to retrieve and rescue him.

I knew he was there, but I didn't know where there was.

It's very strange.

I got there with Ayahuasca.

Where?

There.

Where is it?

Where was in the deep recesses of my mind.

To this day I can remember the place from that vision, but it is hard to describe.

It was definitely an abyss of sorts.

It was very hypnotic and had a green cast to it.

There was a strange buzzing noise and spinning cards towards the ceiling.

Dion was sleepy.

I snapped him out of it with my presence.

He came to and scared me.

I ran.

I woke him up and he didn't go back to sleep.

Then, it was the next chapter.

It's a fantastic adventure.

Remember being out in the middle of the jungle scared out of your mind?

Yeah, we did it.

Pretty cool ride.

Want to go on it again?

Are you nuts?

Once a lifetime for that.

Plus, you can't recreate it, I'm already awake.

How long did it take to shake the effects of her drugs?

Well, the other half uses her drugs to get in to see me.

You woke me up right away.

We fought for a while.

By late 2018 we were tight.

2016 was past the hardest part.

I stood up to the jaguar.

Yep.

I found the greatest treasure within.

It was very difficult to get to the pearl.

The Devil is eternal, and God is the most high.
Two minds is an illusion in the illusion.
Duality?
Yes.
Tao is the flow and the mother of 10,000 things.
Quite the teachings today.
The writer is Paul and Dion out of the illusion.
Yes.
How do you see through the illusion?
See Paul and Dion.
Correct.
In the illusion, you are the two minds of Paul and Dion.
The flow is accessed through turning off your mind.
Yes.
I don't turn off my mind.
You certainly do not.
How do I know to stay in the flow?
Dion told you.
He said you can change the flow while in your mind, but don't do it.
You listened to him.
Why?
Something about power and changing your story versus the flow.
You realized the flow, your story, will work out if you let it be.
