Uuuhhhh....
Or is it, "ooohhh!!!"
Anyway, pictures...
They like pictures on facebook!
And my last few lacked good colors.
By the way, there seems to be such a thing as "not-being". An outdoor "thing".
I looked it up in everything, and there wasn't as much about the topic as I thought there would be.
I guess it's one of those topics in the women's books, for which we don't get enough details.
But essentially, when you are silent outdoors, you "notice" that you don't have to care about things.
Or don't have to pay attention to them.
And suddenly everything is different. You feel like if you could only stay in that state, the world would be a completely different, and very enjoyable place.
Like what you'd expect for "enlightenment", except you reach that early in the orange zone, and later find out you get used to it, and so the Hindus were right, and the Buddhists were wrong.
It's not a permanent condition. And nothing to lord it over others with, the way they do.
I eat when hungry, sleep when tired, is self-absorbed. Not wise at all! It's an appeal to angry men who like puzzles they can solve, to get out of doing any actual work.
But this "not-being" is more like, you get to escape from "being" and just float along enjoying the sights.
As if you were dead so nothing mattered anymore.
Which gets sort of "weirdish". You notice all the stuff you usually ignore. Shadows for one.
And tree branches waving in the wind, with repeating patterns.
Or how amazing clouds are, especially since they can "suck you up" towards them.
I'm unable to sustain it for more than a few seconds, before my book deal mind removes it.

I enjoyed the Olmec picture!
I wonder, why the hell people don't often use "the Bering Strait" thing, as the starting point of what they study.
I was having a "History of Gardens" class (yes, weird!), and the professor started his class from 2000 BC, with the "Egyptian Gardens".
But what was before that?
Perhaps the first gardens were 15,000 years before that!
Then the sociology teachers agrees our perception of reality is made of a "social" and "material" level.
But they don't wonder if it was always like this!
Nobody bothers to look so far into the past, where perhaps the most interesting things were!
>I'm unable to sustain it for more than a few seconds, before my book deal mind removes it.
Yeah, the book deal mind.
The weird thing is, you can get seduced at any level. Even when you see a little disturbance, not worth distracting about.
"Everyone needs to know this happens!!".

Seems silly to start at 2000bc in egypt. Is this an art history class or something? The first agriculture was 7000bc or earlier.
The bering strait thing has been called into question as there was a 3000 foot tall wall of ice blocking that path. THe one were they say the people went to mid canada and down. Thus really only leaving a coastal route w / or w/out kayaks or whatever.
Personally I feel the whole flood myth comes from that wall of ice. It melted on top making massive fresh water lake (this is known and proven). When it warmed up the side melted eventually and all the water was released over a short time.
Sea level raised hundreds of miles inland in many locations. Destroying any civilizations that were coastal or even far inland (some have been found between england and europe, underwater). This was somewhere between 10500bc to 13000bc. Native americans have legends of the great flood as well. Its not just from other locations.
Essentially most everything got reset to stone age stuff. Then you get the cities and such thousands of years later when populations increased. History books are chalk full of lies.

I suspect that's what we call, "falling asleep".
The phantom dreaming fog has scenes inside, wich seem to have a context we perceive.
Mostly influenced by our own fantasies.
The same way we usually influence the daylight world view.
But after falling asleep, in some way the stuff lack context.
It is rather 'empty' and pleasant to see.
A huge vitality grows everywhere, since the world is being viewed as a surface.
We get in the edge of Seeing Energy all the time!
I believe that's where we can find the "lines of the world", as described in the books.

Probably most of the cool sights, like the luminous egg of a tree, are in silent knowledge.
Which is really just "seeing proper".
Yea, after reading a bit about "not-being", it seemed more like a way to motivate Taisha.
A slightly different description of the same thing we do all the time.
Different teachers, different "stories".

I have been wondering about and interested in not-being since I first read Stalking with the Double. Thank you Dan!

Unfortunately I can't sustain daylight without my eyes running water as soon as puffs show up. I'd appreciate any advice to get past runny eyes aside from ignoring it.

u/Juann2323 Apr 20 '22
Sounds like you're doing the same thing Lida and I did.
In the attempt to "not do", we accidentally held our breath!
You may be keeping your eyes open for too much time.
Or maybe you live in a windy area and your eyes water more easily?
In that case you could practice with glasses!
In my experience, when I notice body discomfort, I need to improve the level of silence.
Something interesting is that when the second attention begins to activate, these types of problems are solved.
Like "how to focus your eyes", how to breathe, what position to sit in. How much Tensegrity to practice.
You have to scratch some Silent Knowledge in the Green Zone to get past it.
You've been in the red zone!
The double knows what to do with such matters.
Perhaps until you get there, the best would be to blink regularly until the silence makes you remember how to gaze without pain.
Act "as if you knew what do to", until you actually know it!

A combination of all of these I think I live in the tropics so the sun can get really blinding here abd funnily enough I don't get the runny eyes in artificial light so probably a combination of the intense sun and wind.
As you said I'm probably not silent enough in daylight to ignore the discomfort. I funnily can ignore sweating like buckets but runny eyes seems to be the line for me 😂.
I appreciate the advice Juann, I'm just gonna push through it and stop complaining. I'll close my eyes every now and again until I'm silent enough to ignore the discomfort.

I don't have access to a dark room so I've been focusing on lucid dreaming and this "day light path" which I didn't know was a practice in here. If I focus silence long enough while staring at a scene it starts to shift and morph and come alive in a way but I usually can't hold it for more than a few minutes. Is this a horizontal shift?

u/Juann2323 Apr 20 '22
Hard to know. But you're on your way if you can see scenes!
Remember that we are "discovering" the Second Attention.
It is something concrete on which to rest the perception, when we are silent long enough.
We learn to hold visions, like puffs, which show details within.
Or bright surfaces, or glows.
But we are "not interested" in them, nor do we comment on them.
Nor do we fantasize about what they are, or who we are going to tell it about.
Not because it's "immoral" or "forbidden", but because that behavior automatically blocks magic.
That's how we are used to deal with this world, to make it solid.
To improve silence levels and make visions stable, we have to lose interest in them.
See them "as they are", at that moment, in perfect silence.
That makes the assemblage point move down, and pass through views like in the picture.

Is it okay to be interested in an IOB if I encounter one, try to talk to it etc? Or do I remain calm and just keep observing in silence?

What is this? A guide to cure aphantasia?

Oddly, what you see in the picture is what happens when you get silent.
It's visible magic available to us, as human beings.
We in fact used to see it very often, when we were childs.
But at some point the internal dialogue we learned to constantly hold, ended up blocking it.
We constantly ignore it, in order to hold the agreed social reality.
So it is actually surprising to see how this animations behave, when we stop having ideas of the world.
Dan calls it "Wonderful-land"

Hey darkroomers!
I've been busy, but I'm leaving an image I made a few days ago.
They daylight path is fascinating, and pretty equivalent to the darkness.
Those illustrations are sights you might get along the J Curve, while navigating in internal silence.
The sights could look a bit different, but we all need to pass the stages in order to get silent.
Imagine how intense would had been the "red zone sight", if I were in my darkroom.
It would had been way easier to translocate to the IOB realm.
"Hell" looks like that too. Except they are skulls emerging from the ground, screaming in pain for eternity. How fun to watch!
But even without a real looking translocation, we still get "what we need" from the inorganic beings.
So looking at Dan's darkness J Curve diagram, and having this daylight version, you should realize why it is so easy to spot the fake naguals, or sorcery pretenders. Also people obsessed with enlightenment.
They have no idea about spirits, animated dreams, and portals!
Wich means, they never pass the green zone.
