Percept Index — All updates

I stumbled on a post from a subreddit I don't follow.

The week ran in reverse -- a mission proclaimed before the question that went looking for it, a query that carried its answer before it was cast, and a weekend threshold that returned absolutely nothing because there was nothing left to deliver.

“Show me where the becoming-work is asking to go next” was today's cast during my usual long-er weekend meditation session.

I set out this afternoon to cast a question which already had an answer.

Something's been bothering me.

The week kept issuing the same instruction in different dialects.

Yesterday's setup, today's question.

One of the best outcomes is when the week picks a theme and carries itself forward with it, or perhaps I'm no longer standing in the way of these things.

Working weekdays are pretty quiet on the meditation subject.

I've never been a fan of building castles in your own countryside.

Three entries this week, and every one of them turned out to be an examination I didn't schedule.

I woke at 4:20 and made the mistake of not getting out of bed immediately.

The pull to go inward and sit with nagging, unresolved, forgotten, or ignored issues, aspects, and situations is strong in recent days.

When I started Percept Index I focused strictly on documentation, writing, and analysis of consciousness exploration.

This past week's retrospective will be a little different.

A ho-hum meditation, a couple mild lucid dreams, and an encounter with a skeleton-looking Liminal.

Opened Friday with a solid early morning 8 mile run.

Returning to some of the older tapes that I used to do has been low-key revelatory on what I've been missing the during all those sessions in the past.

Kicking off the new week physically intact and under normal operational conditions.

The forward motion this week was all subtraction.

Kim and I are celebrating our 12-year anniversary tomorrow, and what better way to commemorate the occasion than going to see a film about aliens and Disclosure.

Focus-state access, manifestation, and non-verbal communication run on one set of tools, used all day, whether you mean to or not.

After a deep moment of quiet contemplation from the previous evening, I woke up early this morning with several loose threads having resolved and woven into my reality as integrated and whole.

Recently, especially in the last few days, I have been dealing with a mild bout of doubt and internal friction regarding my work.

The de-load ended and I came back wanting to floor it.

Today's mission was simple, access the ideal state and then let go and coast.

A low-key theme has been running this week, and today was no exception.

Today is quiet.

Coming back to a full physical week from a deload week is always an interesting balancing act.

This week's Retrospective is a little different than the usual, and a little longer as well.

Following yesterday's experience with Focus 21 (Bridge), after a few months of pausing sessions accessing that focus state, I decided to pick this quest back up with renewed interest and curiosity.

Back to my ol' pal "Intro to Focus 21".

This morning was a little interesting, mainly for my own observation (like most of this is anyway).

I had a thought the other night.

The week opened with the fastest 10k I've ever run and closed with the decision to stop running entirely.

Monday morning is the start of "De-Load & Re-Load" week.

All week I've been thinking about this morning's nice and long 12-mile run, maybe 13 or 14 miles.

When talking about meditation, the subject of stillness quickly becomes the center of it all, and why shouldn't it?

Over the weekend I was struck with a sudden inspiration for my morning routine, specifically Mondays.

This week the names caught up to the work.

Last year the longest stretch of immersive altered state experiences coincided with a lot of guided astral projection sessions.

There's a feeling of change and adjustments on the horizon.

During my 9-mile run early this morning a concept clicked into place, suspiciously close in shape to what has already been operating for years.

This week was a lesson in what shows up when I stop reaching for it.

I woke up this morning feeling out of sorts, tired, and wondering what the next leg of inquiry will be for my longer weekend meditative trance sessions.

Finished up my weekly morning physical training with a 12 mile run early this morning.

Early this morning I set off on a very lively and powerful 8 mile run with an emotional twist.

Today there was only time for a quick 20 minute reset.

Another week of adjustments and most importantly a lesson in letting things go so they have a chance to resurface on their own terms.
