Preface:(stream of consciousness from a gen-z. my personal meditations on many of the unseen current dilemmas, bid for connection and collaboration, not prescriptive or doctrine, thought spanned from what we do know to be baseline truths, attempt of clarity, shedding thought systems, ultimately chop wood carry water I feel inside, but also many I see unwell and these things helped me personally, nothing informed by professional)
basic training: We are Homo sapiens. You need to move and rest. Move. Doesn't matter much how or where or when. But Move. Move everyday because you know how it totally shifts the mud that only thinking can create. Know. Moving the dirt is easy, thinking about it is hard. Move. no thought. Break free from the invisible cage. It only takes a single moment. And you are FREE. this is the trap. the closest to you, you one right Infront of your eyes. yet, you cannot see. Why? CHOOSE. SEE It. BREAK IT. There is nothing else you need to do, nothing grand, nothing insurmountable. The greatest thing you can do. Right now. Is Move how you will to move. Nothing within invisible confines. THIS IS YOUR SOVERGEIGN POWER. The cage is fancy, dress, mimicry, illusion, smoke, fugazi! It is not real. It only feels real because YOU imbue the idea with your POWER. Yes. you are the Power. and anything you put that power in will gain steed. So CHOOSE. because YOU are the force of nature. MOVE. This is BASIC. BASIC. BASIC. BASIC makes the frame for us to enjoy and full life of love. The LOVE and the MAGIC shine when the BASICS are mastered. When the BASELINE is INTENTIONAL. Don't be the fool that chases ideas with no baseline. Where will you be able to enjoy the view from if you have no legs to stand on? Your physicality has an intimate relationship with how you experience everything else too. YOU KNOW THIS. YOU KNOW ALL OF THIS. Go take a cold shower with your favourite song to dance to. And Remember. What is Inside of you.
time: rule it. I think now more than ever we must exercise self-leadership in our own lives in order to not be sucked into the myriad of entertainment and fear loops just waiting for you to show any signs of lacking sovereignty. You must choose. You choose. You now choose when you wake up, what you do in that time, or not do. How slow you eat. Who you eat with. How you be bored. How you be. Where you Choose to be in time. More and Less. How much time you make for YOU. Know. Your cup must overflow to share abundantly with others. Not Leak. This is not selfish as you can SEE now. This is care. Intention. Wisdom. Clarity. Strategy. Basic Human Knowledge. At time we may leak yes. And we will be lucky to come across someone overflowing. Remember. Critical Thought Alert (CTA)! If you're questioning every word here. Ok. This world is holistic. None of this is statutory. Just. BASELINE. At Best. The point is, Find Your Baseline. Not mine. And Own it. Your most important Asset. You. Time. We've been told the Material World is the greatest illusion after all. Remember? Garden your Soul. Now.
digital military: break the habit now, turn it off. It's already done. Done it? Good. No phase, no advice, no payment. Simple. You become your own Chief. You are an Animal, on planet Earth. Use your brain. Start a new baseline here. Baseline= My Full Days are now totally clear. No buffer, no disassociation, no distraction. I want to feel again. I want to take a trip to the sea, or the forest near me. Where it is quiet and I can stop. Stop. Just for me. My new baseline. I am stopping just for me, so I can hear whatever birds in me are trying to sing and see whatever sands have buried them. So I can cry. You know those weighing feelings inside you that just wont budge, well welcome to being a human, with catharsis and attention, those feelings will shake and move and leave your body, as long as you are willing to let them out. Cry. Scream. In you car, scream so much. You do not have to worry that you are somehow ungrateful for your life because you are gutturally screaming as though you have been dragged through the depths of hell for 7 years in a row. No. No it does not mean you are wallowing or ungrateful. There is sediment in you, scream. Let it out. We are human, we are built with senses, therefore are sensitive. We all carry sediments, so please, like water, move the emotion, you don't need sandbanks.
brain maintenance: IMPORTANT. Easy. Natural. Note: This is not a source of stress. this is exactly the source of calm. the source of human state. You will be required to do LESS. In every arena. Do not be afraid. So... Basic Life Tasks. Do slow. Do with full attention. Do aware that there is plenty of time. especially since you are now not on your phone. Do knowing you have all of the bets offers you could ever get online, for free, offline. this is the true GIFT. You were born with it. It will never go away. It will never change. You being here for you. In brain maintenance you have all the fun you could want as you can get creative and play. Play is deep medicine. Play you shall always have as yours. In fact. Your brain may love speed so much now. Use it. USE it. To Your Advantage. Everything can be made into what you need. Well Intentions Assumed Here. Use the Speed for your Upgrade.
baseline thinking: Here's what I call Baseline Thinking. So your thoughts are fcking u up huh? Ok, new process. Clearing old data from server mechanism. Updating... Clear baseline. ______________________________________. You can now choose, plan and design exactly what you would like to be the framing and intentions you move with through your day-to-day. Or nothing. Cool! I recommend the blissful Ultra 5 Free experience of not inviting the endless digital paradox into your sacred spaces. Those being when you wake up and when you go to sleep. This doesn't require explanation. Because we are all Intelligent Homo sapeins. Your brain is the most advanced computer on this planet. And it naturally does everything you require to have better health, sleep, concentration, skills and everything else. Congratulations! Its also free and you can also use it to make everyone's life better. In fact, you'll even enjoy that. You'll even find that, that is so fundamental to your existence. It makes sense. It automatically will improve your experience. 10/10 All previous Homo Sapiens would advice 21st Century Humans to utilize! So your new baseline is whatever you want. The whole point is that YOU remember that YOU are literally the player of your life. If something else is controlling your attention, your time, your brain maintenance, your baseline thinking, your function, then what are you doing?! These basic things come as a cost and you wont be gaining anything. Ultimately You have the control over all of these things and nothing can take them from you. Things can only pretend to have power over you. They will be highly convincing the more they play on your actual emotions and perception of life. Therefore it is entirely in your power to remember you were born with everything. Power over you. Nobody else has it, they can only pretend to. So! A new day. you open your eyes. that slow tunnel that connects your inner world to the outer one emerges. You have infinite potential. You can CHOOSE. CHOOSE YOUR BASELINE. The baseline You created. The baseline nobody can detract from. The baseline that serves you ultimate clarity on a silver platter every. single. morning. The baseline that starts with genuine gratitude that you woke up. The baseline that doesn't require you to see terrible things to know you are lucky. The Baseline that resonates with your life, exactly how you want it to. this isnt a step to take. you do not even have to do anything. The vessel you inhabit is literally built and wired for adaptation and flexibility. Do Not Be FIXED. fixed is fatal. MOVE. This is not hard. this is your baseline functioning.
Optimum function: This IS You. Yes you have optimum function available to you! In this economy! Please Remember. With a solid baseline and some continuous practise. You are You. Life is Life. You are Life. Life is You. Optimum Function can look like chopping wood and carrying water. Do not make the mistake of believing you need to invest in corporate super-giants or anything in fact in which you have never met the Person or the Intentions behind it. Perhaps your family, friend or neighbours have the better solutions of human connection. Talk. Use your brains. Use your Love. Make. Use your hands. Suddenly, what actually matters is that you make your grandmas birthday card instead of outsourcing it and that you ask your parents if they need any help whenever you can offer support. Suddenly this is all that needs to be done.
Affected State: Go for a run. Take a cold shower. Now. The state of Aliveness. Alert. Energised. Electrified. Clear seeing. You can feel this state. No verbal deducations needed. Good. Know your states. So you can recognise where you are submerged in one condusive to moods or behaviours you might want to reduce. You are in charge of your states. CHOOSE. Choose your states. Where possible.
Dark Discipline: Accept that there are two halves. Dark and Light. Accept that there is dark. So you can meet it. Become familiar. Not run from it. We are the darkness as well as the light. Disciplining yourself to be able to withstand discofort is important. Surrender. You will learn to surrender. Not control. If there is unwillingness, meet it. The unwillingness may be the joy. We see from womens' menstrual cycles, holism. Ultimately true. Do not need external source to say so. Death part of life. Death necessary. Internal death to be surrendered to. Give and Take. Why are we not provided any inner guidance in western society. Only convoluted ideas. Sales. Submission. Well, good thing we are advanced Homo sapiens!
Sustained sanity: Still. No ideal. Full spectrum. Nature. Outdoors. Always there. Trust. Faith. Breathe. Look at nature and then discern the topics you may be unsure about. Is the cage in nature? No. Can you see a cage if put outside? Yes. Can you see outside if in a cage? No. In a cage proliferates the idea of the cage. Nature open. Nature fresh. Nature have ideas? No. Nature divine design. Nature unknowable. Human part of Nature. This, innate experience. How do the birds fly? How high is the sky?
End: with our eyes closed, our entire body becomes the womb. with our eyes open, we are able to perceive the farthest extents of the universe, only to realise all of it's wonders are right here
