✣ Free Neville Goddard PDF: manifestwithneville.com✣ God Mode 2025 Retreat: https://godmoderetreats.com✣ God Mode Course: https://unlockgodmode.org----------------------In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the concept of Imaginism, emphasizing that imagination is the supreme power that creates and sustains the universe. He asserts that man is all imagination and that God exists within every individual. Neville discusses the importance of revising past events, the role of vision in awakening, and the necessity of breaking down mental structures that hinder spiritual growth. He references Douglas Fawcett, a philosopher who arrived at Imaginism after eliminating other ideas, supporting Neville's teachings on the transformative power of imagination. Neville encourages individuals to reshape their realities through imagination, overcome reason, and awaken to their divine nature.Key Takeaways:Imagination is SupremeThe universe and man are created and sustained by imagination, which Neville equates with God.To awaken spiritually, one must fully grasp their own invisibility as pure imagination.Destruction of Mental StructuresThe Bible's message of buildings falling refers not to physical structures but to mental constructs.Long-standing beliefs, teachings, and doctrines must collapse individually for true awakening to occur.Revision as a Spiritual PracticePast events can be revised through imagination, which leads to a transformation of present and future reality.Neville refers to Fawcett's validation of revision as knowledge coming from the Divine Society—a higher realm of awakened individuals.Speaking with AuthorityTrue teachers of imagination speak with conviction because they have experienced the truth.Neville emphasizes that those who truly understand Imaginism do not merely repeat others' words but speak from direct experience.Overcoming Reason and Living in ImaginationThe ‘specter of reason' stands between man and his true self, preventing him from accepting imagination as reality.Man must cast reason aside and fully immerse himself in his imagined world to transform his reality.Individual AwakeningAwakening does not happen collectively but individually, as each person breaks free from conditioned thinking.Every individual will eventually awaken to their divine nature, as God's plan ensures that no one is lost.Grace and Effort90% of awakening is by grace, and only 10% is by effort.While effort is necessary, the vast majority of transformation is a divine gift.Faith in the Creative Power of ImaginationNeville urges his audience to live nobly, remain faithful to their dreams, and continuously create new realities rather than becoming attached to their past creations.The Role of Vision in Spiritual GrowthVisions serve as signposts of one's spiritual progress, confirming the truth of scriptural revelations.True visions, not mental conjecture, are what remain after all false structures collapse.Fire of ExperienceThis world is a purifying fire, and life is a journey through experience, ultimately leading to spiritual rebirth.Every individual will emerge from this fire transformed, returning to their divine nature.Conclusion:Neville Goddard's Fawcett's Letter reinforces the foundational belief that imagination is God and that awakening requires the destruction of mental constructs, acceptance of vision, and the practice of revising one's past experiences. He encourages individuals to break free from reason, trust in their imagination, and embrace the divine journey toward self-realization. By doing so, man will ultimately rediscover his true identity as God. ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:•

Go here: https://healthpreneurgroup.com/youtubeHere's what a terrible car in Mexico taught me about your coaching business (and why you need to stop undercharging).If you think clients aren't willing to pay high-ticket prices for your coaching, you're making a massive mistake. The truth is, you attract what you put out. If you charge bargain-bin prices, you'll get low-commitment, high-maintenance clients. But when you position yourself as a premium expert, you attract people who value what you do—and are happy to pay for it.In this episode, I'm breaking down:✔️ Why you always get what you pay for (and why your clients do too)✔️ The mindset shift you need to sell high-ticket coaching with confidence✔️ How to stop selling out of your own pocket and start charging what you're worth✔️ Why the right clients WANT to pay premium prices for the best experienceThis is the difference between struggling in your business and thriving. If you're ready to build a profitable coaching business, listen now.
InsightsNo. 1"A strong leader accepts blame and gives the credit. A weak leader gives blame and accepts the credit." -John WoodenIf you're leading, everything is your fault - but it is your responsibility. Accept that and get back to work fixing it.No. 2“If you lose your voracious curiosity about tactical details, if you lose passionate interest in people and how they are feeling, if you insulate yourself in the protective cocoon of executive comforts, you may well wake up one day to discover your company has already entered a doom loop of decline and self-destruction.” - Jim CollinsThe bigger the organization and your title, the more time you must spend hunting for the truth. You have to spend time in the weeds rooting out opportunities and the real causes of the problem or success. No. 3“When someone speaks well of you, do not get puffed up. Simply say to yourself: 'If they knew all my faults, they would not speak so well of me.” - Epictetus A ThoughtThese insights highlight essential traits of leadership - responsibility, curiosity, and humility. It's easy to nod in agreement but how do we develop these and help others do the same? Recently, I came across this interview with Shreyas Doshi, in which he explains the relationship to agency and talent - he calls it the Agency / Talent Matrix. What is Talent?While often viewed as innate ability, talent in this context means demonstrated capability or competence. It's important to note that talent isn't fixed – what you are born with is not your destiny. Someone doing the work will eventually beat someone sitting on the sidelines. What is agency? This is the ability to make decisions about your work, take initiative, and influence outcomes. Someone with high agency can self manage and collaborate to get things done. While talent gets attention, it doesn't matter without agency. People with high agency are:* Self-confident and resilient* Take ownership* Excel at creative execution* Communicate effectively and influentially* Bring others along to achieve the right results2x2 MatrixTo illustrate this, he created a 2x2 matrix. On the horizontal axis is agency, and on the vertical axis is talent.Cogs In The Wheel - (Low Agency / Low Talent)* They do undifferentiated but often necessary work.* Won't improve outcomesFrustrated Geniuses - (Low Agency / High Talent)* Highly competent with tremendous potential* Lack of creative execution to get it done* Strong ability to point to what is wrong but wait for things to be perfect.Game Changers - (High Agency / High Talent)* Rare - change the game for the company* If you find them, do whatever you can to hire and retainGo Getters - (High Agency / Low Talent)* Usually early in their career* Ambitious and optimistic - they roll with ambiguity* Can move to Game Changer with enough time and experienceThis is an interesting framework to use for hiring, promoting, and retention. Where does someone fall on this matrix? Where do you fall? The Go-Getter is the one that stands out for me. The Go Getter can decide to be optimistic, roll with ambiguity, and be ambitious enough to work their craft until they have skills and agency to be a game changer. With enough time and practice they can become Game Changers. Key Takeaways:* Agency as a skill is underrated and can be improved. * Conditions are rarely perfect, and waiting for them will mean nothing gets done* Excuses are easier than execution* Cultivate your comfort with looking foolish (experiment, ask questions)- that's how you learn and improve your craft.* The characteristics of a game changer (ownership, curiosity, and comfort with imperfection) are also essential to leadership.There are lots of reasons why things don't get done. Make sure you're not one of them. Be good. Kelly This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit kellyvohs.substack.com

In this solo episode, I unpack how both of my postpartum experiences have differed, from my relationships with anxiety and depression; to my fixation on controlling outcomes; to how I have prioritized self care and developed mental health toolkits for myself. I recap my first postpartum experience in 2021, sharing what my relationship with anxiety was like before getting pregnant and how it manifested in postpartum, and how my need for control created obsessive behaviors. I then share my second and most recent postpartum experience, from dealing with sleep issues with both children; to feeling mentally stronger; to letting go of how things “should be” and embracing them for what they are. Finally, I share what I wish I had started earlier during postpartum, and what I would tell myself as a first-time mother experiencing both the highs and lows of postpartum.Key Takeaway / Points:Recapping my first postpartum experience in 2021My relationship with anxiety and journey with anxiety medication before getting pregnantOn planning for postpartum anxiety and depression before giving birthWhen and how my mental health struggles hit during postpartumHow I developed a self-care toolkit and prioritized my mental healthOn experiencing intrusive thoughtsOn my need for control and planning obsessivelyMy postpartum experience with our second childOn dealing with sleep issues with both childrenWhat has helped with my mental health this time aroundOn letting go of control as a second-time momWhat I wish I had started earlier during postpartumWhat I would tell myself during my first postpartum experienceThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

TL;DR!In this podcast episode, we discuss the importance of consistent branding and the major problems inconsistent branding creates. We explain that your brand makes a first impression on customers, so incoherent branding across channels confuses customers and erodes trust.Research shows inconsistent branding can reduce purchases by up to 30%. We contrast accidental, disjointed branding with deliberate brand consistency exemplified by Coca-Cola. We state that while specific brand colors aren't needed, strategic coherence in messaging and visuals builds engagement. We then dive into common website branding issues like unclear purpose, lack of integration with business strategy, confusing copy, and lack of user focus!The detailed bit:What is a brand?A brand identifies a seller's products/services as distinct from competitors. Branding imbues products with the power of the brand.Who's affected by your branding?Consumers: Brands provide decision-making shortcuts (and can lead to 30% loss in revenue if you mess it up!)Employees/shareholders/partners: Branding affects reputation, desire to work there, and overall engagement. What is brand consistency?Customers receive the same impression and experience interacting with a brand across channels. This builds familiarity and confidence.What are heuristics?Mental shortcuts people use to simplify problems and avoid overload. Help us reach quick conclusions.Who is Lumpy Space Princess?! https://adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/Lumpy_Space_Princess How big is the branding consistency issue?8% of organizations have brand guidelines, but only 30% enforce them. Results in off-brand content.Why consistency matters:Inconsistent branding is confusing and erodes trust.Can reduce purchases by 30%.Strong brands like Coca-Cola deliberately ensure consistency.Common website branding issues:No defined purposeLack of integration with marketing, cultureUnclear purpose and confusing copyToo much jargonUnclear value proposition and toneNo visible user problem solvedPoor user experienceThis leads to high bounce rates and loss of conversions. The key is keeping user experience consistent across branding.Let's continue the discussion! What branding consistency issues have you faced?

What we discuss:Plant medicines can help us reconnect with ourselves by amplifying our sensitivity. How an Ayahuasca plant medicine retreat proved to be a transformational experienceThis experience caused a shift from being a devout atheist to “blowing the door off the hinges into the spiritual world”Behold Retreats has people who are medicine facilitators as well as people who would be described as shamans, energy healers, and lightworkersThere's actually not much of an overlap between those who have developed their own energetic capacities in the metaphysical realm and those who actually work with plant medicinePlant medicine is a tool that can accelerate the Ascension processCommon misconceptions about Plant Medicine, especially the myth that Plant medicine will solve your problemsVipassana Meditation RetreatsFor More Info: wwww.behold-retreats.com

There are times we come across a song or rhyme we know students would enjoy, but we might not be sure where it fits in the curriculum. How can we step back and imagine musical possibilities? What if we were to treat songs like musical prompts? In this post we talked about some ways to explore one rhyme with several different pedagogical lenses. Today we'll do the same for a song, Sea Shell. Here's an example of how one song might be used for three different pedagogical outcomes and three different age groups. This also shows how we might approach the song in different areas of learning: The first activities are for students who don't know the song. The next two, it's expected that students would know the song already. The 2nd grade activities are in preparation, before students are aware of the notation and label for half note. The 3rd grade activities are in practice, after students consciously know low sol. Each grade objective includes student choice in the activities.Let's jump in! The SongThis song is sourced from the collection at Holy Names University. Echo Singing & Vocal ExplorationKindergarten / 1st Grade This activity is designed for young musical learners in the early grades. Before the Activity: Previous Knowledge and ExperienceThis activity doesn't require any previous knowledge or experience! Consider using this as an introduction to vocal exploration and add it to your collection of echo songs. Learning Experiences Experience #1: IntroduceIn this first learning experience, the teacher introduces the song through movement and active listening. Seated, the teacher sings the song and leads students in swaying side to side as they listen. In between rounds of the song, the teacher asks questions: “What is our song about?” “What do you think the sea shell is singing about?” “Wait, can sea shells actually sing?”Sing while moving hands like the waves of the ocean, showing the melodic contour of the song. Students echo each four-beat phrase with ocean movements.Sea shell, sea shell (sea shell sea shell), Sing a song for me (sing a song for me) Experience #2: Ocean Movements In this second experience, students extend their ocean movements and continue echoing the song. This learning experience is primarily a review and reinforcement of the previous class, giving students more opportunities to listen and move to the song.Review the previous class: Sing while moving hands like the waves of the ocean, showing the melodic contour of the song. Students echo each four-beat phrase with ocean movements.Sea shell, sea shell (sea shell sea shell), Sing a song for me (sing a song for me) “What if you could make your ocean movements while standing on your spot?” Repeat the activity with students echo singing and showing the melodic contour with stationary movement Experience #3: Whole-Class Pitch Exploration There are many possibilities for the pitch exploration here! Feel free to write your own on the board. Echo sing and move to the song as review “What do you think the sea shell's song sounded like?” Show several options of melodic contour on the board, and lead students in performing with vocals and movementsExperience #4: Partner Pitch Exploration Students have sung the song and explored many examples of pitch exploration. Now it's time for them to create their own sea shell songs. Asking for four different options encourages students to invent variations, instead of stopping after one idea.Echo sing and move to the song as review Review pitch exploration ideas on the board With their shoulder partner, students use a piece of yarn to create their own vocal explorations Ask students to come up with four different options Students take turns sharing their ideas with the class Half Note & Form 2nd Grade Many music curricula explore one sound over two beats in the 2nd grade year. The ocean theme of this song can make it convenient for exploring elongated sounds, like ocean waves. We can also experiment with the form of the song. Before the Activity: Previous Knowledge and ExperiencePrevious Knowledge: Before this activity, students should have conscious knowledge of steady beat, quarter notes, and eighth notes. Even though the activity focuses on one sound over two beats, students don't need to have conscious knowledge of half notes. In future classes, students will be introduced to the half note vocabulary and symbol we'll use in this class. Previous Experience: Students should have plenty of independent and collaborative experiences singing, playing instruments, speaking, moving, reading, writing, improvising, arranging, and aurally identifying the rhythmic set listed in the knowledge section above. For these activities, students should have heard the song before, though it does not need to be memorized for the first learning experiences. Learning ExperiencesExperience #1: Rhythm Movement In this first learning experience, students use movement to show the duration of the rhythm. This happens as a whole class at first, then with pairs of students. There is an opportunity for formative assessment as students tiptoe, step, and slide with a partner at the end of this experience. The teacher sings the song with movement directions for tiptoe, step, and slide. Students echo sing and move (locomotor or non-locomotor) Step step step step (students echo) Tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide (students echo)Tiptoe tiptoe step step (students echo)Tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide (students echo)The teacher sings the song on text. Students echo sing and move, translating to tiptoe, step, and sliding movements Sea shell sea shell (student sing text and step step step step)Sing a song for me (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide) Sing about the ocean (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe step step) Sing about the sea (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide)Divide the class in half. One half sings and moves first, then pauses for the other partner to sing and echoExperience #2: Aurally Identify The movement work from the previous class is extended here, as the teacher takes away the movement directions and replaces them with an instrument or neutral syllable. Students use their aural awareness to identify one sound that lasts for two beats. Review previous class. Students echo sing the song on text“Let's take out the echo and sing it straight through.” Students sing the song straight through, without echoing.Students sing the whole song and clap the words, remaining seated Seated with their feet in front of them, students sing and put the rhythm of the words in their feetStudents stand, and sing the whole song while tiptoeing and stepping in open space As a B section, the teacher plays four or eight-beat rhythms on a recorder (or sings on a neutral syllable), using a combination of two sounds on a beat, one sound on a beat, or one sound elongated over two beats. Students echo move.Example: ta ta ta-a (students step step sliiiiiiide), ta-di ta-di ta-di ta (tiptoe tiptoe tiptoe step) ta-a ta-di ta (sliiiiiiide tiptoe step) ta-di ta-di ta-a (tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiide)Students sing the song as they tiptoe, step, and slide back to their spots. “How many times do we slide in this song?” Students inner hear and pat a steady beat (we slide two times)“How many sounds do you hear in the word, ‘me'?” (one sound) “How many beats does it last?” Students sing and pat a steady beat (it lasts two beats) Experience #3: Visual & Form Students have identified one sound that lasts for two beats. Now they use their aural awareness and translate it to a visual representation of the rhythm. Iconic notation is used here to show the elongated sound. In later lessons, the label and symbol for a half note may be used. At the end of the learning experience, students mix up the form to create a new order of the song. Review previous experiences as necessary“Which phrases of the song have matching rhythms?” Students sing and pat a steady beat (phrases 2 and 4 have matching rhythms) Help the teacher put the phrases of the song in the correct order. “How do you know this is the correct answer? Talk to your shoulder partner.” Students explain their thinking, then share their answers as time allows “I'm tired of giving the correct answer all the time. Let's mix up the form so it's the incorrect answer.” Mix up the form to create new version of tiptoeing and sliding. Students speak the new combination while moving their feet in front of them (staying seated) or turning their fingers into people and moving on the floor in front of them. Repeat the activity, with students arranging the form for the classStudents repeat the activity with a partner and move around the room to their arrangement. Share combinations as time allows Low Sol & Partwork3rd Grade By the 3rd grade year, many students are ready to work on the extended pentatone, including low sol. As melodic vocabulary grows, students can apply their knowledge to their developing partwork skills. Before the Activity: Previous Knowledge and ExperiencePrevious Knowledge: Before this activity, students should have conscious knowledge of solfege pitches, do, re, mi, sol, la, low la, low sol. These learning experiences would fall in to the “practice” phase of learning. Previous Experience: This activity is for students who are ready to sing a bass line to a known song. Consider previous experiences students have had with bass lines and partner melodies to prepare them for these experiences. You can find more information about scaffolding vocal partwork skills here. Students should also already know the song for these experiences. Learning ExperiencesThese are adapted from the low sol concept plan in the 2021 - 2022 Planning Binder. Experience #1: Partner Melody & Movement In this learning experience, students listen to the new partner melody with the song. After hearing the melody, students learn it by rote through a combination of movement and aural skills. Aurally decoding the melody is one of the reasons this experience should fall in the practice phase of the learning process. When students have learned the melody, they sing it as the teacher sings the main song. Students walk in a circle, singing the song without teacher assistance“I'll try to mess you up this time. Listen to each other.” The teacher walks inside the circle in the opposite direction, singing the partner melody: Students sit in place. The teacher teaches the partner melody by rote. Students echo sing eight beats at a time, showing the high and low movements of the melodic contour The teacher sings eight beats at a time. Students echo on solfege with Curwen hand signs or with the movements they just created “Hey there, let me hear your song” (do do do do sol sol sol) “Hey there, then we'll sing along” (do do sol sol do do do) Students walk around in a circle, singing the partner melody without teacher assistance. The teacher walks around the inside of the circle singing the main melody of Sea Shell. Experience #2: PartworkThis lesson experience reviews the melody from the previous class, and expands partwork skills. Instead of the teacher singing one part and the whole class singing the other, students work toward partwork interdependence by dividing the partner melody and main melody between half the class. With a partner, students decide if they'll sing the partner melody on solfege with hand signs, or on text with movement that matches the melodic contour. Seated with their partner, students perform their choice, then switch jobsStudents walk around in a circle, singing the partner melody without teacher assistance. The teacher walks around the inside of the circle singing the main melody of Sea Shell. The teacher “tags” a few volunteers to be on the inside circle team and sing the main melody. The rest of the class continues to sing the partner melody. Continue tagging singers until the inside and outside groups are approximately even Experience #3: Transfer to Barred Instruments Students have already aurally identified low sol in the partner melody. When it's time to transfer their understanding to a barred instrument, students use their knowledge of steps and skips to identify low sol and figure out the partner melody by ear. With a partner, students decide if they'll sing the partner melody on solfege with hand signs, or on text with movement that matches the melodic contour.Seated with their partner, students perform their choice, then switch jobsUsing a barred instrument visual on the board, students work with their partner to figure out where do and low sol live if do is F. Students help the teacher notate the melody of the partner song on the boardStudents read the notation on the board, pointing to the notation or pointing to a barred instrument visual With a partner, students sit behind a barred instrument and figure out how to play the partner melody by ear. One partner plays and sings the partner melody. The student without mallets sings the main Sea Shell melody. Switch jobs. When we step back and look at our classroom materials as musical prompts, we see many pedagogical possibilities. Today we looked at how one song might be used for vocal exploration, half notes, and low sol. But there are so many more ways this song might be re-imagined in our teaching. There are many possibilities with one simple musical invitation!

When it's time to transfer their understanding to a barred instrument, students use their knowledge of steps and skips to identify low sol and figure out the partner melody by ear. With a partner, students decide if they'll sing the partner melody on solfege with hand signs, or on text with movement that matches the melodic contour.Seated with their partner, students perform their choice, then switch jobsUsing a barred instrument visual on the board, students work with their partner to figure out where do and low sol live if do is F. Students help the teacher notate the melody of the partner song on the boardStudents read the notation on the board, pointing to the notation or pointing to a barred instrument visual With a partner, students sit behind a barred instrument and figure out how to play the partner melody by ear. One partner plays and sings the partner melody. The student without mallets sings the main Sea Shell melody. Switch jobs. When we step back and look at our classroom materials as musical prompts, we see many pedagogical possibilities. Today we looked at how one song might be used for vocal exploration, half notes, and low sol. But there are so many more ways this song might be re-imagined in our teaching. There are many possibilities with one simple musical invitation!

consciousness, brain, ego, perception, feel, people, bipolar, future, thought, power, world, higher levels, reality, gravity, bird, sensitive, near death experienceThis morning, I did some trE, trauma release exercise. And then after I was done, I was laying there. And so I decided or it occurred to me to try to do a backbend, to just lift myself up backwards. And I remember trying, maybe a year ago or something, and I couldn't do it. Whereas I could do it two years ago, when I was in manic consciousness, and I was on the swimmer side as well. When I tried a year ago, I tried to lift myself up, and I couldn't. And so I tried this morning, and I totally could, and I will insert the picture here. So yeah, talk about power poses. Amy Cuddy talks about power poses, I wonder if she studied the back bend. How many people can do one, I couldn't even do one when I was a kid. So it just goes to show that as the ego loses its hold as consciousness is freed up from matter from gravity, from being inflexible, it becomes more flexible, the body becomes more flexible, and it becomes stronger too. Our own thoughts weaken our body. I watched a clip by Neil Hill born. And it's a three minute clip of him using the spoken word, and it's sort of like bipolar poetry, and he's talking about bipolar, different aspects of it. And he talks about how he seen the future, and different things like that. And it's quite good. But really many of the things he said are kind of delusional, if you think about it, he says he's seen the future, What is he talking about, whereas a person that has experienced transconsciousness, bipolar consciousness, that consciousness has seen the future in a way because consciousness is non local, it can kind of go anywhere, when it is freed up from the matter of the brain, from the circuits of the brain from the ego scar tissue. And it was also interesting about he talked about how he sees the future kind of like gravity, where we're all coming together as one. And it's interesting that he talks about gravity, because I've felt some kind of change in gravity in the process. And I feel like there's a change in the center of gravity, there's a change in the center of consciousness. And this is part of this co creative process that's unfolding. And in a way, I feel like, if now is eternity, and we're all here, there's certain number of people at higher states of consciousness. And they exist in a different world, because they're relating and communicating in a different way, they might actually occupy the same physical space, but other people at lower levels of consciousness are never going to come into communication with them, because they don't resonate with that. So in a way, there are different worlds, even though it's the same space time. And our own world is within our consciousness. And our consciousness has to be in that particular level of consciousness in order to interact with those people at that level. So in a way, going into my consciousness and higher levels, one is seeing and interacting at a different level, which seems like a future world, but it's actually a world that's happening now. It's just that our consciousness level isn't at the point where we're unfolding and experiencing that reality as now for us. So it's future for us, but that actual reality is reality for some people. And so then we fall down to prior levels of consciousness. Sometimes, the momentum of the fall, makes us dip into lower levels, ones that we don't necessarily occupy on a daily basis, but it definitely recalibrates us to the fact of the existence of those levels. And it shows us what happens when we exist in those levels of consciousness. And part of our prevailing level of consciousness is actually our family or friends our whole life. So that's why being at higher levels and then coming back down to one's life situation and no longer operating in that higher reality. That other reality if Feels like death. And it also feels awful. And it also feels like a hangover. Coming back to one's regular, monotonous Life is like a hangover. And then a lot of us once we've gone to those other realities in consciousness, same place and time, it's just a different level of consciousness. When we come back to this level of consciousness, this stuff seems pretty meaningless and crappy. And so it's difficult to actually get back into it. So it's difficult for people to recover back into buying into the crap that they used to buy into, because at higher levels of consciousness, that crap is no longer has any value. So since we come back down, we still have that sense that this has no value. But at the same time, we're in a reality that values that, and then is trying to get us to recover back into valuing that which we temporarily transcended. And so it's again, important to design one's life, to end the trance of being stuck in this level of consciousness. And it's also the morphogenetic field of the society that one lives in. Because that level of there's a certain level of consciousness that created this society. And so when we go off into map consciousness, we're no longer participating in the reality that we've created for ourselves, the mechanical habitual one, we feel free, and we feel like we're in this free reality, because our consciousness is free. But then we fall back down into the prevailing level of consciousness, but it's still did something. A change in consciousness is probably one of the only actions because it's a change in consciousness, and one affects the consciousness of the many, because it's all on consciousness. being filtered through us as bodies, we're like filters of consciousness. And our brain filters consciousness through our thoughts. But if we are not blinded by our thoughts, then we actually can see clearly. And when we can see clearly, we learn and when we learn, our consciousness level goes up. If we're seeing the same thing all the time, we're stuck in the same level of consciousness. So I also liked his spoken word thing, because it shows that he has a gift, he has talents, he's using language in a different way. He's using it in a creative way. He's become a bipolar poet. He's not repeating linear past memories. He's, he's putting, he's translating some of his perceptions into transformative communication. And that's part of what we need to learn as transconscious individuals, well, how do we translate what we see into something that is some form of communication, that will allow other people to see the same thing, not necessarily the same thing, but maybe see that they don't see. So if he can stand there for three and a half minutes and spout off brilliant poetry, not just saying a few words and repeating them for three and a half minutes, but actually very creative structures of language. And very intentional and very, he had to see that in order to create that to say. So it was a creative perception that created that. So that creative perception might allow others to see that it's a creative perception. Nevermind, if they can't see exactly what he's saying, never mind, if they can't see the future, they can maybe see that he saw the future. So that maybe makes them see that seeing something else is possible. So there's so many levels to that, and so many layers, and it's just, it's pretty beautiful. So it's wonderful, that he's able to express things that way enabled. In order to show his brain hasn't gotten duller, his brain hasn't gotten more effective. If anything, he sees way too much. If he can see the future, he's seeing too much. And it might only be too much because other people don't see it too. And I was thinking about how when people make small talk about the weather, in a way, it's a way for us to talk showing that we're seeing the same thing the same time. Like Oh, is it rainy today? Yes, yes, it is. Oh, hasn't it been horrible lately? Yes, yes, it has been. So we're seeing the same thing at the same time and in that way, we form a connection. Now can we take That sort of small talk scenario of seeing the same thing at the same time and apply that to higher levels of perception. Like, can somebody see that somebody might be able to see the future. And if we can see that, then we're not necessarily going to label and pathologize that person, because we might say, well, I can't right now. But I can see that others might be able to make sense, I can understand that. So seeing as the only action, the act of perception, if we don't see something, we can't act on it. And perception acts on the brain. And if something doesn't act on our brain, it's not acting on us at all. So in terms of saying things that are out there, because he said he can see the future? Well, I've seen the future to kind of forget, and that's part of seeing the futures is forgetting about it. Because if you're seeing it all the time, well, then it's, it's difficult to operate. And if you see the future, and then you try and make it something to memorize, well, then you're making it into a pattern, and then you're back in ego consciousness. So perception might be in the moment. Now, it might be something seemingly futuristic. It's important to forget all of them. Because soon as you cling to something, there's a stuckness. It's clinging to the ego. The very act of clinging creates the ego. The clinger is what is clung to. So I feel bipolar is actually learning to walk in both worlds, the world of thought, the world of consciousness, filtered through thought, and the world of consciousness, sensitivity of direct perception and action. There's the world that thought creates, which is the prevailing level of consciousness. And then there's the world that consciousness creates through direct perception. If we were to directly perceive now and to infinity, we would all work together like ants and create something different. And that would be sort of the gravity of what he was talking about, pulling us all together as one, to be one we need to be cooperating to be one consciousness, sort of like when the field of consciousness meets the field of gravity, without being warped by thought, without being warped by sound. It's actually this warping, the sound barrier of the ego that makes us feel like we're separate, makes us feel like we're separate things because it's judging things instead of observing things. And thought is a distortion of the past. I feel like map consciousness is actually shedding of the past, it's brain molting, I feel like there actually is a metamorphosis in the brain, a mutation and part of the brain actually molds or it could melt and become more fluid. Because the brain is made out of fat, and it's very fluid. And it could just be a change in fluidity of the brain cell membranes, and the brain cells themselves. And when it is fluid like that, it actually molds. So the ego dyeing process, when it feels like we're dying, we're actually experiencing a re hardening of the brain. And the ego structures are coming back into play and we realize that we're going back into prison. And again, people with mob consciousness or gifted people, we're just getting acquainted with our gifts. As we learn to walk in both worlds. Yesterday, I was feeling tired, and I was feeling tired for a few days. And I figured that maybe if I watch a few hours of TV, it'll give my brain a chance to be in passive mode, and to rest up a little bit. Being in transconsciousness. In sensitive perception, the brain gets tired. And I was thinking about how normal waking consciousness is like being half asleep. Whereas map consciousness is being fully awake. So if I watch TV, that's something that normal consciousness does. And it puts them even more asleep. It's probably like three quarters asleep. But I feel like it put me half asleep, because I was just passively watching this thing in my focal vision. And so it blocks perception and block sensitivity. So that was almost a way for my brain to sleep for a while to get some rest, I in a totally worked. I was watching the show called The Oh a, on a friend's recommendation, and it's interesting because it's about near death experiences. And I feel like if near death experiences replaced by map consciousness, or psychosis, they're talking about almost the same thing. Because a person has a death experience, or they actually die and they come back. And they're saying, they come back with gifts and more personal sort of transconsciousness, they come back with gifts, just like a person with near death experience. They come back and they almost died and take some time to recover. They probably just don't spring up, like, Oh, I'm ready to get back to life tomorrow. So in a way, I feel like map consciousness is also a near death experience. Once one comes out of it, it's just no longer near death experience. And it's it's trying to scramble and destroy the ego structures in order for a person to come back to this world and be different in the world. There's a part in the show where she swallows a bird hole. And then that sort of gives her a power. When she's in this death experience. I thought it was interesting, because the very first time I was in math, consciousness, and I decided to move towards death. Because I handcuff myself somewhere, so I would stay still, because I thought I was going to jump off the balcony. Interestingly enough, I didn't jump. And when I lay down, the first thing I experienced was being a bird flying south. So it's almost like maybe part of me did jump, and became the bird. But since I didn't jump, I became the bird anyway. And I remember actually laying there and all I could feel was that my mouth was like going like this. And I was actually making a tweeting sound. But I don't know if I just heard that in my mind, or if that was coming out of my mouth, but I could feel my mouth moving. So I was this bird flying south and then consciousness, my consciousness went into being a homeless person laying on the side of the street. And then I felt this angel tried to take me but and it felt like this big white light. And it felt so warm and loving. And they tried to take me but I was handcuffed to the balcony. So I remember I was I was feeling like I was being lifted up. But then it pulled even though I was still laying there, but I remember the feeling that sensation and then feeling like darn I have to stay here because I'm handcuffed. And then when my parents when my family came in the morning and found me and they flipped me over I felt like I felt like I was dead but I felt like I was at the scene of a car accident. And I was dying at the scene of a car accident and they had just come to my side and I never opened my eyes that whole time. Except for one time when I looked at my arm and I saw blood all over it. But I just closed my eyes. That was the only time I opened my eyes and and then when I when they finally grabbed me they won the pyramid came, they squash my finger and I winced. And then I knew I was alive. But I was surprised, because when I think about it, now I feel like my consciousness or consciousness left my body for sure. So even though my body was still physically alive, I was kind of technically dead in a way because it was, it was almost like it was trying to leave my body, it did leave my body went to a bird, it went to a homeless person, it went to having risks that were bleeding or something I don't know. And went to being at a scene of a car accident and went all these places. And then it came back to my body. I'm seeing some stuff that I shouldn't really talk about right now. But there's something around indestructibility. So most of us are communicating from our past. mob consciousness gives us access to future communication, which is seeing the new, which is sort of like seeing the future in a way because it's something new. It's bringing the new into the present moment, as opposed to the old, which is the past. So it's a different movement. Just as gravity is a force that pulls us together, I feel like consciousness is a force that pulls us together to our level of consciousness is what pulls whatever into our reality through the resonance of that consciousness. So more and more people resonating at that level is what is going to pull that possible future into the present moment. People are afraid of consciousness, because they're afraid of the power of the human brain. It's very powerful. And I'm wondering, I've read that our ears emit sound. And I wonder if people who go into my consciousness can actually hear this without hearing it, or read that energy as part of being able to read the pattern of somebody. So in that way, it could be one of the ways that we can tell when people are being judgmental and negative and, and it makes us feel kind of sick to our stomach. And the power of the human brain requires sensitivity, which requires ego lessness. And so these powers of the human brain can't be used for personal gain, they can be used for evil, because that which is evil is the ego. And if it's there, you can't be that sensitive, and you can't be that powerful. So it could perhaps be the only way to power is to selflessly want other people to see their power. Which is their power to see. Which has nothing to do with me and my ego. And nothing to do with the other person in their ego. Feel like the heart can actually pick up on the sound coming out of other people's ears, possibly. So the heart beats, and then the pattern of the sound coming out of the person's ear is picked up by the heart when it pings back. This morning, I had to email somebody and I was thinking, Oh, I could just leave them a message. But then I realized, if I left them a message, they would have to write stuff down. So if I email them, they don't have to write stuff down. And then from there, I was imagining what if we lived in a world where we couldn't write stuff down, or we couldn't put stuff in our calendar or we couldn't record things in general. In that world, it would be advantageous to be super perceptive and sensitive in the moment to know how to just act moment. moment, if we couldn't record anything, if we couldn't remember anything beyond our working memory, like the seven bits of information or something, we would really have to be sensitive and know how to read people. And then you might think, Well, you'd have to remember stuff in order to be sensitive to stuff. But it's not necessarily true. Because we would evolve the sensitivity of perception and understanding at the same time. Because if I have to remember this detail, and that detail and that detail, I'm projecting those details onto the moment, and I'm not actually seeing the moment. So that's the very point where the whole projecting memories onto the moment. It's about judging things in order to act in instead of seeing things and acting. If I want to turn on my kettle, I just look at it and press the button. I don't have to judge the kettle in order to understand the kettle. But we project our judgments on to things and then we don't understand it. Because the judgment is from the past. So by clogging ourselves up with memories and programs where we've programmed ourselves out of being in touch with the present moment, we're seeing our past knowledge as the 50%. And so mania isn't attention to the present moment, 100%. And that's why people have a bad memory. I remember actually turning on the kettle and then letting it boil dry, because I forgot about it. Because I was on to the next thing. I actually like to have things in view, I don't like closed cupboards and things like that, because if I can't see it, I'm not going to remember it. Because my brain works more on intention. It sees something and then it knows to do it, instead of thinking about what it needs to do. So this morning, I was getting ready. And then I just looked at my hands, I didn't think I'm going to look at my hands. I just looked at them. And I noticed my nails were long, so I cut them. So when the brain relies on to do lists, and, and plans and everything. It's so busy looking at its plans, its abstractions about life, that it doesn't see life. And so relies on plans. So I stopped making to do lists. Probably about six months ago, I used to have daily to do, I do have some in my calendar on my computer because I need to at least keep track of appointments and things. And I do have tasks that I need to do. But I used to put things on my to do list like cut nails, there's quite a few things that I've been able to just export to perception. Just wait until I see it and notice it and then do it. So when I saw that my nails were long, I could have walked over and put it on a to do list cut nails. But I sort of put it in my mind that I'll cut my nails when I'm straightening my hair. And the way I remembered was actually to move my nail clippers from their storage place to on my sink where I get ready. So that way, I gave myself a visual reminder of what I needed to do. If I want to move that I might have forgot. This might seem trivial. But when we start to use our visual field to remind us instead of abstract words and computers, then we get our brain more tuned to starting to look in to the present moment. But that was like half an hour later. And I didn't forget I did cut my nails. But if I would have forgotten I would have seen it again some other time. So things that we can see. We don't necessarily have to put on to do lists. That's one way to untrain the brain from to do lists is to actually leave some things up to perception to notice physicallySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bipolar_inquiry.
