States Of Consciousness - Superhuman OS

Integration Questions:

1. Consider your relationship to the states of consciousness. Which state(s) are you now at
least somewhat able to access consciously?

I am currently on the subtle (Dreaming) state. I think this is what everyone is at anyways - nothign special.

2. Describe one transformative state experience that you’ve had at any point in your life. Which
state(s) of consciousness were you accessing? How did that experience impact your life?

I had one experience when I was very happy in my sleep. I felt very connected to the world, very free, like a king. That was when I was meditating like 45 minutes a day for every day in the morning as well as night.

Not sure if this is still within the reals of the subtle(Dreaming) state or casual(Dreamless sleep). 

Still confusing between different states. I think the only real way to understand it is to experience it for myself and not by reading about it.

3. In what ways are you called to deepen your development within the states of consciousness?

Falun Gong. Yoga mediation - Transcendental meditation (repeating a phrase) : "One with the Universe."

4. If you are part of a spiritual tradition, which practices have you engaged in within your tradition
that have helped you to access expanded states of consciousness? What was the state of
consciousness that you were able to consciously evoke through this practice?

Falun Gong?

Purpose to Live and Strive

What Really Matters to Me in Life and What Have I or Will I Do to Get There?

Be Specific!

Spiritual: What is of ultimate concern to me?

  • Human connection with Nature, Animals, World, Universe | Knowledge; Philosophy
  • Happiness (choice, freedom, fun, progress)
  • Balance - High level Relationships, Health, Wealth
  • Purpose - what my mission is in life? To be the best version of myself. To give back. 
  • Growth
E.g
  1. PUA
    1. Daygame Mall/Campus. Nightgame Bars. Events
  2. Buddhism/Philosophy 
    1. Tashi. Falun Gong.
  3. Books
  4. Health/Exercise/Kung fu
    1. Books on Nutrition?
  5. Money/Job/Career? 
    1. Make Money Now - Lyft
      • Pay off Student Loans
      • ASVAB

Willpower: How can I make actual change in my behavior?

  • Keep eyes on the "Prize" - Working towards my high standard
  • Start now
  • Shut up, work hard
  • Overcome obstacles, don't complain, blame, or criticize
  • Take baby steps
  • Stay calm and keep moving forward
  • Consistency, persistence, discipline
What do I want? How am I going to get it? What am I willing to do or sacrifice? Am I willing to put in the time? Don't be a leaf in the wind. Be hard on my self. Build will power. Build discipline - just do it and ignore my emotions. Reflect often and take action right away = Speed of implementation. 

Nothing else matter until I finish my ONE Thing. I'm in it to win it.

Howell's Moving Castle (Spoiler Alert)

I didn't know anything about Studio Gihbli until I happen to find an independent theater showing this movie.

The music was a 10+. I would love to hear the sound track again.

I thought the plot was kind of weird in a good way. Ending was kind of abrupt. Kind of a slow movie but still in a good way.

It is super creative! Kind of mind blowing how the one magic castle can turn into many different destination.

Pretty romantic love fantasy for women here. Really good fantasy stuff. We got a cool and confident magician, witches, animals, funny characters, normal character, and even a non speaking character.

Voice cast was superb. Watched it in original Japanese.

I like how this movie had many references to other fairy tales such as Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, and even Beauty in the Beast.

SOOOOO cool. I needed this refresher. It's a real escape from the mundane. The animation and characters where so amazing they were better actors then any live action movie.


Low Motivation - Just do it?

Feeling gloom. No direction. Inner value is at a low. Working at a place not doing anything and getting paid but still feel soul-sucked. Guilt.

Yesterday just freezed out when the biggest opportunity to meet new people and have fun was there. Can having fun be forced? Can one achieve things in a low state? Of course!

Remember to remember. Intrapersonal - reflections. Do what's right. Don't be unconscious/boring observer. Don't judge negativity. Use negativity for the best. See the light in everything.
