silent lucidity

Fear.
Power.
Madness.
Lust.
Are these your four enemies of a man of knowledge?
Could be.
I swapped out Carlos CastaƱeda's clarity and death for madness and lust.

Late Paul would be approaching the end of the world stories.
The world does seem to be on the brink, but that's been the way it is for a while now.
Yeah, we tend not to notice that the story is barely keeping it together.
For the most part, we go about our daily lives without concern.
The end of the world scenario is a possibility.
Or, it could be the end of a civilization with another one ready to assume power.
The ruling empire is finite.
Those in power find a way to continue on.
Maybe that's what they have mastered from the lessons of history.
The empire will collapse, prepare for it, and transition to the next power centre.
From observation, what do you gather?
The scramble to preserve wealth in vehicles that will maintain value through the transition.
Like gold and works of art.
There would be a move away from investments backed by fiat currencies that have no intrinsic value.
The value is from the stability of the issuing country, so if things get unstable, the currency will become unstable.
Then all your wealth goes poof.
What does the average person do?
I think you panic.
Bad times are ahead.
Is there anything you can do?
I looked into buying ETFs of gold and saw it was a bad idea in terms of a hedge against systemic collapse.
Why?
The gold system is manipulated the same way as the dollar system.
If you think fractional reserve banking is a house of cards, you should check out gold.
Apparently, it's 500 to 1 by some estimates.
It's called paper gold.
The only true hedge is physical custody of the gold you own.
That is hard to do.
Fees, storage, transport, insurance, and lots of red tape.
Why?
Fiat gold.
If everyone wanted their piece of the metal, the system would collapse.
Gold is probably worth 500x its price.
I think the proper accounting is that your investment in gold is worth 500x less than the price because when the system collapses and you get your share, it will be a little crumb and not the whole cookie you thought you were entitled to.
Can't you then sue for what you are owed?
Sure.
You may even win.
How will you collect on something that doesn't exist?
That's an interesting koan.
So, what do you do?
Live in the now.
The future is unpredictable, and if you want my opinion, it doesn't appear to be rosy.
If you wait, there might not be anything left to wait for.

You are in late Paul because you went through the steps.
You conquered fear.
You survived the tests of power.
Madness did not collapse you.
Fulfillment of lustful desires has appeared.
That one is contained through doing nothing, though it remains a challenge.
Rather than reading it as a marker to your demise, as in you have finished the journey and are expected to leave, it just means your game piece is at the end of the board.
You already knew that.
You knew you had traversed the length of the game you were playing.
When that happens, the game board comes to an end.
The natural inclination is that it is game over.

Ever notice that no one questions that?
Like in Monopoly when you end up owning everything and bankrupting your opponents, the game ends.
Or in cribbage when you reach 121 points, the game stops.
Why?
I don't know.
That's what was decided.
What if you ignore the arbitrary end?
I think that's where you are.
You reached the end of your game and ignored all the people and signs who told you it was over.
Yeah, that's weird, eh?
You wake up at the end of the game, you could substitute a dream for a game here and realize that's it.
The dream is over and it is time to leave.
So, this is now the lucid dreaming stage?
That's a good analogy.
Do you think don Howard asked you that question to determine if you wake up, could you remain?
I don't know his motivation for asking that question.
I tend to think he knew much more than he let on.
Why?
I think he realized it was time for him to go, and he hung onto the dream as long as possible by being of service.
Once he could no longer do that and the body broke down, he had to go.
The breakdown of the body gets everyone.
No exceptions.
You can stay mentally ensconced in the dream if you are skilled until finally the vehicle within the dream expires.
So, I guess if you want to stay as long as possible, you need to focus on maintenance of the body.
That is correct.
What's the best way to do that?
That's a tough question.
I'd simplify it.
Avoid cosmetic alterations.
Avoid quick fixes.
The strategy would involve choosing things that are beneficial in the long run that don't have a lot of immediate effects.
You want change or improvement to be gradual, so it doesn't shock the system.
Anything that shocks the system is met with an inverse corollary response in order to return to homeostasis.
So, the key is balance?
Yeah.

Silent lucidity.
Yeah, that seems to be the stage I've reached.
The only way to hold it is to not discuss it.
Aren't I discussing it?
With yourself.
Is that allowed?
You must tell someone.
Why?
It's too big a secret to try and contain.
So, you tell your other half.
You mean Dion?
Yeah.
What if I write about it?
No one reads it.
A few people do.
Yeah, but they think you're a crackpot, so it's all good.
So, I can write that I have awakened in the dream and am still playing along and no one will care.
That's correct.
But that's the big takeaway.
That's earth shattering news.
You can awaken in the game, ignore the ending, and stick around.
Yeah, no one will care.
Why?
They are living their own lives, and you are a nut.
Don't knock it.
It's the way to keep going.
If they can easily see you are fucking around in this strange reality, they will tell you to leave.
I already experienced that.
What did you do?
I had to laugh and ignore it.
What would you do now?
Laugh.
What else can you do?
Ignore it.
Certainly not take their advice.
That's game over.
To continue to play is to laugh at people or ignore them.
Won't that invite scorn?
Sure.
It's also an invitation to counsel them.
I wouldn't directly teach them awakening.
I'd couch it in mystery.
Why?
If you tell them the truth, they will hate you.
Why?
You won the game and you didn't leave.
It's very disconcerting.
Why is that?
A winner departs for the next level.
That's what we are conditioned to believe.
There's no rule that states that.
It is an expectation.
You defy expectations.
I most certainly do.
I am unique in that regard.
No one understands me, nor will they ever.
It's a big factor in wanting to be left alone.
I get funny looks from those trying to understand me.
Then I must somehow navigate the situation, get them to move on, and resume trying to fit in.
That about sums it up.

mediocrity

The tricks and illusions sent your way were a test to see what are your intentions.
The darkness tried to trip you up many times.
Confuse you.
Offer you power.
Get you enamoured with power, and you forget the whole reason for doing the spiritual trip.
You passed the tests and didn't become mesmerized with your glorification.
You remained mediocre.
That's the key - embrace mediocrity.
You weren't fooled by the trapping of power and the gifts of the spiritual climb.
So, I'm through?
You reached the summit of that climb.
The power is yours if you want it.
Nah, I'm good.

You shouldn't be here.
Like literally, you should be somewhere else.
Yeah, what happened?
Dionysos stopped the story.
Why?
It was getting out of control.
It was going to blow.
Yeah, for sure.
What a clusterfuck.
So, Dion wanted to keep playing?
You both did.
Well, I don't know; I think I wanted to blow up.
I kept walking towards that outcome and Dion encouraged it.
Then he stopped the game at the end of the path.
Seems to be a trust he will do that.
Why did he stop it?
He wanted to see how far you'd go and then when he saw it, he realized you're the one.
I'm Neo.
For sure.
Why would the writer give up a character who is playing the writer?
You are the one who can play the writer.
I can play with the writer and play the writer.
Yes, you're it.
Dion wanted to keep that character around.
Yeah, so now he is going to have that character play God in the sequel.
The character of Paul is great.
Some say the greatest.
God is kind and caring.
What a fool you are.
God knows who he is.
A degenerate?
Of course.

Strange dream last night taught me that in order to escape that reality, wake up.
Don't go back to sleep.
So, if you want to exit a situation or simulation, just wake up.
Well, if you want to get out of the whole mess that means a total awakening which would be death.
Death kills the reality dream.
What if you want to only change part of the dream?
Then you must petition the Devil or God to change your story, so you do that and stay in this reality.
You know to let it be and follow your story because you know it will work out.
That seems to be part of the lesson.
This is all part of your story.

Now you see it, you wake up and are supposed to go.
There are methods for awakening and when you get there then you go.
Except you.
I'm exceptional. 
Fuck, for sure.
You're going to ruin it for the others.
Why?
Because you are still here, and you know the game.
You figure it out and now you are going to tell everyone don't wake up or it's time to go.
I can tell them not to go.
They don't have your mind strength.
They'll go.
So, you will tell them not to wake up.
No, you just send them on a different path like in the labyrinth.
Get them lost for a bit.
That's the secret about the spiritual path.
Yes, it's a killer.

You can look at this as gravy time as you were supposed to go.
Parker is waiting.
Yeah, he went.
He took a lot of psychedelics.
Ram Dass tells a story about an acquaintance who reached that state and blew up.
It was a warning he was issuing.
Ram Dass comforted the dying.
He was a death doula; it was his path of service so he could remain.
He was a bodhisattva.
You spaced out your awakening and then found Mary Jayne.
MJ shows you what's going on.
She took away the confusion of waking up.
It's overtime.
I'm going to go for a skate.
The dream is over, or has it just begun?
Part of the story was waking up in this dream, knowing how to leave the dream, and staying.
The answer to leaving is obvious.
Yes, but for most it's suicide.
Nobody wants that but that's why they do it.
Their minds aren't strong.
You must be able to withstand the tests.
Don Howard never said what those were?
Well, obviously.
They are always looking for the one who can pass the tests.
Neo.
Mediocre Neo is the one.

Whatever happens, happens.
You should be dead.
How would they get you to go now?
You are already awake, and the past is gone by where I was supposed to go.
It's come and gone.
If you do something stupid.
That's a possibility.
In 2024 you were supposed to go, end the dream, and spare others the suffering.
Instead, you let it happen.
I did nothing.
The longer it goes on, the more suffering and revelations.
Yeah.
Oh, well.
Some would want you to end the drama and some to keep it going.
Especially the rich kids.
Do nothing.
Done.

Being alone in the woods mimics waking up.
Everything disappears.
All your troubles, hopes, and dreams.
It was all a story.
You make another story to rejoin your friends.
When your friends start to leave you see it's okay to go.
That's why you make new stories in the dream.
The key to being awake in the dream is to continue making stories.
By default, we do it while sleeping.
While awake you do it to stay around.

I was having a hard time getting to the conclusion of the dream last night and then it kept getting weirder.
Finally, I woke up and then realized it was done.
That dream was telling you about waking up.
The Akhet is where you bridge the two worlds of awakening and dreaming.
We are born in the Akhet and pass there as well.
The Great Goddess holds the keys to transformation.
It's the threshold you cross where the veil is put over you or removed.
Death in the west removes the veil and you see what it was you were doing.
Dreaming a story into existence.
Birth in the east places the veil over you so you don't know it's a dream.
It's a dream.
You can play along now if you'd like.
The danger is over.
What was the danger?
Waking up.
If you pursue meaning in some spiritual quest and you wake up, then you must go.
That's the natural flow of life.
So, I came out of the flow?
Yes.
How did I do that?
You did nothing.
Doing nothing is the flow.
Yeah, how absurd.
The secret to waking up in this world and not going is a puzzle.
An absurdity.
As always you have the answer, and it is to do nothing.
You bypass the natural flow by going with the flow.
Everyone fights death.
When it's time to go, we all try to avoid it.
You didn't avoid any of the signs telling you to go.
Some were literal.
People told me to go.
Yet, you did nothing.
I practiced all my life.
Now, here you are.
I'd almost think I'm invincible.
By doing nothing you can keep the game going.

A stone Buddha is awake and has no stories.
Like being stoned.
Samadhi.
He needs a prince to wake him up.
He's the prince.
I see the problem.

When people see you when you are awake, they tell you to go.
That's why I want to hang out in the woods by myself.
Plus, the animals are friends.

What's the 4 about?
I don't know, I forgot.
Dosage.
Different vibration today.
Yes, good knowledge.
If you take a day off from the lessons, you might miss something good.
Yeah, trust in the flow though.
I mean you'd drive yourself nuts trying to figure out an optimal dose from each day to get that piece of knowledge you are seeking.
What knowledge are you seeking?
I don't know.
I'll know when I see it.

The last stop on the awakening pilgrimage is Heaven's Gate when you are ready.
You went there in 2020, but you hadn't fully awakened.
They were supposed to take you there in 2023 but there was a detour on the day, and you declined the propellant.
That was Dionysos at work steering you past the rocks that were meant to hasten your passing.
You know when you see those events that look like a sacrifice and it now takes a short time to see them, well, the Heaven's Gate sacrifice took a while to see.
Yes, because I wasn't awake and couldn't see it, or see how my magic got me through it.
You avoided it on the 7th leg of the 7 stops while on your 7th trip to Peru.
It was a triple 7 where you should have hit the jackpot of awakening.
Well, I did, and I woke up because I went to the edge, but I never took the leap.
It's the last step.
The flow took me somewhere else.
Yes, that's your story.
You awaken in this world and then you find out that your story was to not only awaken, but to stay in the story.
Is that why don Howard asked about lucid dreaming?
Yes.
He knew that was the answer to the riddle of awakening.
He gave you the answer on the first questionnaire and then when you do the quest you see that's how you awaken and stay.
Did he do that?
Yes, he became of service and tried to be impeccable and give back.
That was his deal.
Who did he make the deal with?
The spirit within he awoke.
Did he know who he was?
He called him the Great Spirit.
He externalized him.
You know the Great Spirit.
Yeah, it's me.
There's nothing special about him except that he is the writer of this drama/comedy/tragedy.
Conceptually, he feels different but that's due to conditioning.
He's me.
Don Howard recognized don MartĆ­n knew of the Great Spirit and so he talked highly of him.
When you awaken the Great Spirit, you must externalize him and do what he asks.
I got it.
You awakened him, befriended him, treated him with respect and an equal.
Your studies took you to a place where you realized it was you.
That's how you do it.
You can teach that if you want.
The Peyote people aren't teaching that.
They get you hypnotized to the fire which reveals the Great Spirit.
He's external in their cult.
You are correct in that they give away their power.
That's how I felt that night when I was astounded that people gave away their power.
Yes, because you know that power is within us all and we give it away.

Do you have all the answers?
No.
I have the answers that everyone is looking for.
Plus, you still have your sanity.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

god is a waste of time

I made a video a couple years ago which is the genesis of my ritual out in the forest.
The performance and layout evolved from humble beginnings.
It's at the river bend where my dog Luna dug a hole.


Originally, I started one in 2015 at witches' cove that wasn't as far along the path.
Luna dug a hole there as well and I made the spot holy.
The river bend is farther into my mind.
I added sticks to represent the four directions and burnt incense in the centre.
With Mary Jayne's help, I assigned names to the four points representing my friends.
By friends, I am referring to the four voices in my head I experience during ego dissolution.
Later, I added flat sticks to cross the cardinal points.
I am in the process of discovery, and I imagine these in-between characters are amalgamations of the main four.

My state of mind in the morning when I get out of bed is uncluttered especially if I'm alone.
My ego is diminished, and I listen to my friends.
I have a heightened ability to write.
Interactions with others produce the ego.
I see how it works.
I put on an act and a show once I engage the world.
So, the performance of this play is tied to ego?
Yes, you play a character which is influenced by interactions with others.
When I alter consciousness and dissolve the ego, I need to be alone.
I must escape to the forest and return to my nature.
What about plant medicine trips and ceremonies with others?
They work among strangers as you leave your baggage at the door.
Doing ceremonies with friends invites in distortions because they expect a performance out of you.
Plus, you see into their motivations, and it crosses boundaries.
At this point in my life, I don't want to change consciousness around other people.
I don't like being in the house during this time.

The show is tied to ego.
Correct.
Stories are derivative of everyone's egos.
You got it.
To create new adventures means coming out into the world and putting on a performance.
That's how you make a new story.
If you are by yourself or switching between the multiple bedrocks of who you are, you can't make stories.
That's when I write them.
Exactly.

The confusion of who you are throws others for a loop and they can't handle it.
They want you gone.
They can't control you if they don't know who you are at any point.
They want to peg you down as a known entity or tie you up, so you stay the same.
I get it.
It's a thrill to find someone who wants to do that and then find ways to escape.
That's a fun game.
I know your game.
You find a female to designate as the Goddess.
You pursue or worship her.
Yes.
Sometimes, you get her, other times she's out of reach.
Or, she slips from my grasp.
You've made a bunch the Goddess.
Yes, but eventually I took the crown back from them all.
Except your dogs.
I still honour them.
Also, part of your game are your three familiars of Eros, Dionysos, and Apollo.
Lust, mystery, and light.
I'm a smart and horny fucker who is a badass.
Mentally, I'm a badass which is the best kind to be.
I could always put on a show and try to act that part, however I have learned the mystery is much better when you leave it for discovery.

You are writing all this I hope you know.
It has already been written.
I'm just revealing it to myself.
Wanting to be used and taking pain.
It's your game.
Follow your desires and that path.
This reveals your story.
Chasing desires brings ruin.
Do you see the difference?
Chasing forces the issue.
Desire is a predator.
By chasing desires, you turn desire into a predator, and you become its prey.
Following desires is stalking desire.
You remain the predator and keep the game moving.
That's highbrow.

You have the best stories.
It's what makes you attractive.
Plus, you will make fun of yourself and put yourself in danger.
My darkness is an act.
Normally, others wouldn't look at me twice, however I make them take a second look and then they see it.
They like the darkness.
I think it's on my right.
My eye socket is darker on the right.

So, I went on the biggest ego trip.
Yes.
You need to do that before ego dissolution or death.
To get to God you go on a huge ego trip.
You keep going.
Subconsciously, people see it.
They grow to hate you for it and want you to go.
In regular life you just act naturally. 
That's why some said you were going to start a cult.
I denied it, confirming I'm taking the biggest ego trip ever and I'm doing it alone.
That's the secret to avoid blowing up.
Do it alone.
Autoeroticism again.
To win this game you must be excellent at all forms of masturbation.
Mental masturbation.
You're the best.
I am.
So, how did I not blow up?
You kept going.
You did it by yourself, so you didn't stop at God; instead, you saw he was a waste of time.
You say the most uncomplimentary things about God.
Yeah, it's a trick so you don't stay God, or you'll blow out or turn to stone.
You keep going to the writer.
Everything starts in darkness if you are looking for hierarchy.
Apollo knows this and to balance this imbalance, he takes the initial ego trips before giving the writer a chance to take a trip later in life.

How did you not go crazy and blow up which would eventually lead you to disappear?
I kept going. 
Lust helped on the trip.
He kept me sane.
You did crazy shit with him.
Yeah, stuff God either wouldn't do or you'd be so disgusted with him you'd keep going to get away from him.
I liked the trip, it was fun.
Why did you stop?
I thought others would catch on, so I stopped it, and moved on.
I put God in the rearview mirror and talked of him in the third person to create distance between him and you.
It was a good act.

Are you scared?
No, I buy this.
It's trust and it's trusting myself.
If I didn't trust myself, I wouldn't trust giving away power.
It comes back when you give it away.
It blows up when you keep it.
The ultimate confusion would be believing you are not confused.
The obvious thing is the writer would write this nonsense, so you know it is a story and a story you have written. 
The confusion of non-confusion. 
Fuck off.
Haha.

As lust ages it becomes a fine wine.
Dionysian influence.
Dangerous combination.
Lust and Dionysos.
They take over from Apollo.
A game of chess.
Lust plays both sides though.
Yes, see how it becomes a game?
Lust plays both sides so that's how he never loses.
That's the secret.
Play both sides.
It's balanced.
To always win, you play both sides.
Don't you lose?
Yes, but you always win.
That's what the definition of the greatest is.
You always win.
Yeah, but you're the biggest loser as well.
I always win though.
Clever bastard.
Eros is in everyone.
Not the case for the other three.
They must be acknowledged.
Only lust gets that honour.

This would be like becoming lost forever in a dreamworld.
No passage of time elapsed but it seemed like forever.
We frantically improvise methods of measuring time in this world.
Death and birth are the transition points.
So, is this world a dream?
When you die you wake up?
Shouldn't I be dead because I woke up?
Yes, if you do wake up, you should be dead.
Why aren't you or I dead?
Lucid dreaming.
Treat this like a lucid dream.
Write lucid dreaming down in your book.
Give yourself a reminder.
Simple things work.
The writer has an existential crisis and solves it with lucidity.
Dream control.
Queensryche, dude.
That's why they were so fucking loud.
Getting in your head.
Good strategy.
Don Howard gives you that clue.
What is it?
Love on the edge.
Live on the edge.
Akhet.
Half ego and half the fantastic four.
You play it like it's real, but you know it's a dream.
Normally, when you find out it's a dream you lose interest and don't care.
You become fascinated by the dream which is a story and a story I wrote.
This is my story.
It's a great story.
I wake up in my story I wrote and realize I'm in it.
I'm the writer.
Bravo.
Plus, I don't fully believe it.
That gives me the strength to keep playing.
I don't believe it's a dream.
I know it's a dream.
Thinking about this is confusing.
Good.
You're not supposed to know, and confusion is the sleeping pill.
It's a hypnotic.
Hypnotic pills put you back to sleep so you can continue the story.
People ask for those pills.
A narcotic will put you back to sleep.
They are much different than psychedelics.
I'm all natural.
None of those hypnotics for me.
Isn't Mary Jayne hypnotic?
All Goddesses are.
I can feel when the dream is pulling me back in.
You get the shakes.
It's cold as well.

So, this is the main story.
The story where you wake up and stick around.
The three of you were always around but just missing the Goddess.
That explains the search for her.
You thought it was normal to experience those three states.
I never got diagnosed.
I hid the lust and darkness.
The dream tries always to put you back to sleep.
That's what gives you the cold shakes.
In some people, it's anxiety.
If they start to wake up, they get anxious.
The anxiety puts them back to sleep.
The shake is trying to balance everything out.
You just became fully awake, so you got the shakes.
MJ wakes you up and then you go back to sleep.
You go back to Paul the ego to fit back into society.
Don't knock the ego as it gets you through life.
It allows you to continue the game.
The ego continues the game, that's its function, and what you want.
Ego death and you're gone.
You need the ego to function.
When you lose it then you go.

The ultimate ego trip leads to becoming God and you blow up.
Nobody can do that trip unless you're the one.
White rabbits.
Yes, Neo.
Going into work forces you into ego mode.
Retirement and you let it go.
You must find another way of enforcing the discipline of identity or you will exit the drama.
Living in the forest and you are gone.
You need balance.

Without MJ you are back in the dream.
Why do I want out of the dream?
The search for self-awareness.
Not having self-awareness is thinking you really are the character you are playing.
Now that you know, you can't go back to sleep.
You know too much.
You go in and out of these two mind states to keep the game going.
Light and dark.
It's an addiction to MJ then.
You can stop whenever you want.
That's not an addiction.
Addiction means you are powerless to stop, and you crave the substance.
Do you have that?
I have resistance.
Wouldn't I be addicted to lucidity?
No, the game.
We all are, that's why we do it.
The game of incarnating and trying to wake up.
You can always stop playing by going away or going back to sleep.
Those are the two choices.
You made it so you don't choose, you clever fuck.
If you go back to sleep, you are still playing but you don't know it.
No one wants that.
You want to know you are a player at this point.
You choose both.
By definition you don't make a choice.
A choice is choosing one.

The ego is happy when it regains control.
There is unease when I change consciousness.
The ego is a control freak, and resistance is a good thing.
It will keep you in balance even when you start slipping into an altered reality on the regular.
If there was no resistance, paranoia, or feelings of surveillance, then you are hypnotized.
Stoned.
As long as you feel those harbingers of unease, then you know you're good.
Either half of your mind, light and dark, will hypnotize you if you stay with one.
That's how the ego did it for most of your life.
Hypnotized you into thinking it's only you.
The ego is a psychic reality and how you function in this reality.
When you learn to dissolve it, then this reality becomes magical.

head games

A dialectic with the self seems to be the best method for instruction.
Talking to yourself?
Yes.
Doesn't that mean you are crazy?
You are crazy not to.
It's how you are taught.
An external teacher can only do so much.
The internal teacher is available 24/7 and doesn't tire of you.
They like the attention.
Dialectic means making reasonable arguments in a give and take with each other in order to resolve differences.
We did that already.
That was the first step towards reconciliation with self.
I'm not sure the process was always reasonable by any standard.
I was scared shitless at first.
There's no way around that in our culture.
Hearing voices or having a voice within your head is denounced as crazy.
Talking to yourself is pointed out in a humiliating way.
We are all aware of a presence in our heads.
Yes, but they are mostly denied.
Many will busy themselves to avoid it.
Activities, friends, media.
Anything to avoid any kind of reckoning.
What's your excuse?
I always wanted to be alone so I could think.
The recognition of the other wasn't there.
I assumed it was all me.
It is all you.
In duality, you have the ability to separate it out.
That's what I did with shamanic tools.
I wasn't prepared.
That was impossible to prepare for.
Your preparation was as good as expected.
I was thinking along the lines of I could have had some experience with mind altering drugs before drinking Ayahuasca.
Maybe, but then expectations would have been different.
This way you came at it like a virgin.
You went for the most difficult experience initially.
The amazement factor was increased and the fear as well.
It allows you to take your time processing the experience.
It took almost two years.
Yes, and then you went back to face your demon.
Everything has worked out.
You went with the flow, and all was revealed in time.
You didn't force things.
The people who hang around and do ceremony after ceremony without integrating the experience are forcing things.
Going with the flow takes work and discipline.
Doing nothing is hard work.
That is a tough lesson to understand.
You would think that you drop out of society, do nothing, and you will be in the flow.
There's truth to that, however the other extreme will sink you as well.
We live in a human society which is beneficial to your well-being if you approach it with balance.
If you give yourself over to community and culture, you will never understand self.
If you escape to the mountain's top to become enlightened, you will become incomprehensible.
I suppose that's where the muttering comes in.
That's the trigger.
Spend too much time in la la land and you will mutter to yourself incomprehensible nonsense.
Working with discipline and taking part in society allows you to retain a semblance of balance and the ability to function among other people.
It's a fool.
Basically.
You know it's a game and it's high art to be able to play the human game.
You exercise your acting skills to remain sharp at the game.
You know it's a game and have a laugh at those who take it seriously.
The advice would be don't go about living in the forest.
Find a house on the edge of the woods so a connection remains.
Electricity is tough to procure in the woods.
That's a big connection for humans.
It enables the World Wide Web.
It is a web you get caught up in.
They keep an eye on everyone through this web because they can.
The name is perfect.

The ladder up the knowledge of self has 7 steps.
The 4th step into my head and you can see what I'm hiding.
You see God and you see his other face.
If that doesn't scare you, then you feel my power.
On the 2nd step you can get a brief glimpse.
The 3rd step is a warning.
I let everyone in to the landing.
The 1st step gets them in the door.
That's where it stops.
If I think you are interesting, I'll let you climb up a step.
The 2nd step is enough for you.
It's dangerous to go to the 3rd step.
The 4th step is too much, and it comes crashing down.
You let friends up to the 2nd level.
That's where I give them dog characteristics.
I prepare to take them with me into the next world.
The 3rd step is intimate.
Yeah, I let them see my essence.
Some get a glimpse, and I leave it on the mental spectrum.
I don't cross over into the physical.
You can see how people try to do it.
They will use spiritual or sexual tactics to get further into your head.
Every time.
Is there another way?
There's friendship.
I've only experienced that with dogs.

You think it's all about you.
In my world, it is.
Others create their own world and story.
I can play a part in someone else's story.
I'm versatile and a good actor.
I know my story is the story which connects directly to the main story.
That's how deluded I am.
That's how I understand the path I'm on is the path.
Through delusion?
Yes, it must be this way.
You are taught the exact opposite.
You are a nobody, and you need help to be saved or conversely when you die you return to the nothingness of dust.
To believe you are the be all and end all is a sign of madness because you go against everything you were taught by society.
So, you are a narcissist.
I tend to elevate who I am.
I maintain balance by recognizing my faults.
My degeneracy, lack of empathy, and frustrating nature keeps me grounded.
You don't want to get too high.
When you get too close to the sun like Icarus, you burn up and come crashing down.
I've said it before - the Greeks figured out all this stuff, encoded it in myth, and then forgot about it.

When you get to God, you must meet Medusa.
She is tasked with turning you to stone.
That's the part she plays.
Are you going to write a blog post called, "beyond Medusa."
That's tempting.
She was supposed to turn you to stone.
In the myth, Perseus outsmarts her.
You would need to become him to get past her.
He got help from Athena and Hermes.
Wisdom and knowledge.
I got to God and had all the necessary receipts to show I was legitimate.
I was not some wandering sadhu who stumbled on to a form of enlightenment through austerity.
I was neither a pretender nor a poser.

Lost dog alert as I begin my walk.
It's preposterous that there was a woman who drove up to me in a Tesla.
Then she told me about a lost dog.
The dog is a Rhodesian Ridgeback.
It's part of my first dog Brindle's mix and nobody has those dogs.
This absurdity is validating the dream state.
Are you playing on the edge of sanity where you can see this reality is a dream?
I think I'm just advancing along the knowledge trail.
The Tesla situation is something that fits into my dreams.
I recognized the sound of the Tesla.
It was crazy.
You could spin the story so that it is a witch enticing you into her car and trying to capture you.
The witch said to her coven she could do it and tried it out.
There is no dog, it's just a ruse.
They are watching you today.
So, with 7.5mg of Mary Jayne I can get to the lucid dreaming stage which means I can see this is a dream.
Don Howard would ask about lucid dreaming.
He knew.
He'd know the game players and sorcerers who showed up at the sanctuary.
It explains last night where I would put that movie about contract killers in the dream and then the others wouldn't know and think it is a coincidence.
For you, it would be affirmation you know they are trying to get rid of me.
It's your dream and your story, so you put that in the dream.
Do you see how it works?
I think so.
You insert your story into your dream and see what happens.
You can't help but do it.
Sometimes, it can be strange and absurd.
I think most of the time the dream makes sense.
Most of the time.
The dream I'm living in does make sense.
There are some absurd parts.
This is what you're dreaming now in this consciousness.
When you shift consciousness and go to sleep, you continue on in another dream.
This dream stops when you're sleeping.
It's still going on, but you don't know what's going on.
You must wake up to see what's going on.
That's what it means to be awake.
You awaken twice from the dream world, and you see you are creating your reality.
It's still the same reality, you just know you are creating it.
Then you wonder how you do that.
I just write it.
I know that.
If you write it, there's no getting out of having to write it.
It's the lesson the past two days where you had to find a way where you could meditate to nothing.
You realize most can't do it.
The trick is to realize you know nothing because you're everything and you can't see yourself in order to understand yourself.
You need duality to understand the self.
So, you are nothing.
It's semantics, but please continue.
I'm asking you the riddle of how do you not write something when you know you have to write it?
I think you write it beforehand.
The story is already written.
You follow the trail.
I do nothing because it will play out.
That's the answer.
Do nothing, I'm sure.
I think you witness it and laugh at the absurdity of your dreams.
That Tesla thing happened though.
Yes, and you wrote it.
A dream isn't make believe; it's what is reality.
Whatever reality is.
I think it's duality.
It's a story.

You know how in a dream when you remember it, you get obsessed with psychoanalyzing and trying to figure out what it means.
Imagine now that you see these elements in your waking life and you're going to over analyze them.
Yeah, before this I would think the Tesla story was random.
Now, it has lots of meaning and I'm trying to figure out what the dog's name is telling me.
What does that mean?
If you take too much MJ at once and are involved in the game of stories, then the pieces of the story are going to come flying at you in rapid succession and you won't be able to figure it all out.
This will lead to horrible anxiety.
Everything is being revealed to you, but it's too much at a time.
That's why you have discipline with the dosage of the mind expander called MJ.
You know a relatively small amount will get you to that far-out place because you're mimicking the leap within a container.

Most of this dream seems like I've balanced it out.
Most everything fits into the story, so it looks balanced.
It's the events that don't fit in which look like dream elements as you know them to be.
The elements have been on your mind at some point.
Yeah, the sound of a Tesla.
So, be on the lookout for things that don't line up and don't make sense.
It's the writer inserting conflict and absurdity into the story to keep it going.
You can see where you are in the story contingent on how many things look out of place.
That will give you a rough idea of where you are in the story.
If there's no story left, that weird shit will go away, and you'll live happily ever after.
Nothing will happen.
Isn't that happiness?
Linguistically, it seems like it's related.
It's dubious.
I think you just want to keep the game going.
When the story ends, nothing's happening.

The story is the in and out.
It's another cosmic cycle.
The initial cycle is part of the story.
It's a sex story, so it's God going in and out of the Goddess.
You mean the writer.
Just one in and out in that original cycle and then bam, a new universe begins.
Maybe he went into her slowly this time and he's going to take it out fast?
That's his new technique to try and impress her.
Slow build up and sudden ending.
That's usually the way of intercourse.
The good lovers know about foreplay.
This may have been excessive.
Well, however long it took this farce to get going, which was a long fucking time, the inverse will be how long it takes for it to go away.
The key to the technique is balance.
You already know that.
Your story took forever to get good.
It's really good now.
Yeah, but you took us through all of creation.
Couldn't you have condensed that?
No, I was honouring the Great Goddess.
This story is her portrait.
Is that why you had me fucking around with pictures today?
Yeah, I was going to teach you that you're a painter and you're painting the Goddess.
When you get through to the writer you see he's also a painter.
Yes.
He just wants to be called an artist.
His writing is good, but his painting skills are terrible.
We are going to stick with writer.
You are the writer.
I'm also a painter.
There are some rough patches in this painting.
I don't know if you know that, but dude, you gotta take a look at that shit.
This whole nonsense, wasting time, and masturbation -  do you know what a picture of that looks like?
It's pornographic.
You're not supposed to see that until you look closely.
From up far it's a pretty decent image of the universe and solar system and then into our lives.
You don't want to go too deep into the image.
Didn't you find that the world is a sexual metaphor?
Yeah, that's obvious.
Nobody wants to say porno.

All the stuff happening to me is my story?
Your dream.
Isn't that true of everybody?
No, remember they traded their story back to the writer to get a new story.
This is your story.
Why is my life ridiculous then?
Well, we had to keep it that way because who else would believe this nonsense?
Only your mind has the ability to comprehend this nonsense.
The nonsense makes total sense.
Nobody else would believe this.
Yeah, and you have the choice to believe it or not.
I also know that to get someone to go against their own beliefs involves coercion.
I would feel coerced if someone wanted me to believe this nonsense.
That is correct.
There's no obligation for you to believe this nonsense.
Your beliefs say it's true.
You should end the lesson there because beliefs aren't true but they are all we have.
It's a crazy idea.
I see how if you don't accept it then it would confirm that you are crazy so you have to accept it.
You don't have to.
You can decide you're on a path towards craziness and you would put the brakes on it.
It's because you work within a container and you can stop at any time.
I don't feel pressured into believing this nonsense and I don't feel pressured into continuing on with this nonsense.
You can debate the reason why you're feeling this, but I would go with your gut instinct.
It's nonsense and it's my story.

When you go fully to the writer then you start muttering nonsense.
That's how they figure out when to lock you up.
You're uttering nonsense all the time.
You don't make sense.
Something will happen with the Goddess and the witches in your story.
You can start to see that.
The 7 stories are the big parts of your dream.
The dream pulls mostly from those 7 stories.
Your life story will be based on those 7 stories.
You can rotate through the 7 and figure out what's to come in your story.
The Tesla story is surveillance, paranoia, dogs, and witches plus my own experience with Tesla.
