Today ends the 6th week of the Artist's Way for me. It's been a really interesting adventure and I feel lighter and more attuned to my spiritual self even with feeling very silly a lot of the time now. It's nice!
The beginning was the hardest, the morning pages were heavy and hard to process stuff. But now that it's out it hasn't weighed on my mind so much.
The artist dates are sincerely joyful. It's nice to take purposeful breaks from social media and chores and job applications and all the drudgery of normal life.
It's a 12 week program. Already I can see the benefits of continuing these habits. Maybe with more consistent practice I'll grow as an artist 🎨🧶👩‍🎨🌌

I feel so overprotective over him for this reason. I simply do not believe he did it at all because of the insanely obvious propaganda against him. It was just easy to frame him and he was young and had recently broken with his family so especially vulnerable. I hope he's doing ok and get released soon, it's a travesty that he's still in custody now.

Report from day 1 no reading. This sucks. I knew I read a lot but I am currently confronted with the realization that... All I do is read? When I think of creating it's just that, a thin thought while reading something else that disappears like water vapor as quickly as it arises.
I'm listening to a lot of music without lyrics because that seems in the spirit of the exercise. No tv, no talk radio or audio books. No reading and no social media. I chafe, I am uncomfortable. And now I shall complain.
How dare The Artist's Way so succinctly point out why my creativity hasn't been flowing? How dare Julia Cameron just so casually suggest that I have no hobbies that don't position me as a passive consumer? Yes it's personal now, bitch.
This is way worse than giving up coffee and sweets for Lent and I already have failed at that 😭
But like all things this too shall pass. Only 6 more days of this segment of the artists way. I will recommit myself to my Lentian fast once the move is finished next week.
Personal growth is never comfortable and I am committed to becoming a better person. Constantly staying on that grind helps me feel confident that I'm living up to my potential. It's ok to fail. It would be a terrible thing to not even try. All I want is to know that I've tried my absolute best. I don't care how cringey it might seem.

This book is a great starting point, Atwater began the project that later became Project Stargate. It is very mundane in tone, focused on the development of military procedures. Joseph McMoneagle is probably the star of that project and also worth a looksee.
For general consciousness discussion I would highly recommend Russell Targ Limitless Mind. Even the stuff Joe Dispenza puts out is similar and related.
I would say these sources are all great to dip your toes in without diving into the deep end. It's my personal pet project if you ever want to have a chat about it I would love to connect, I promise to take it easy at first, baby steps!

Normally I wake up super early without an alarm, like 5 am. These days I still do that, but then I remember I've given up coffee for lent and I end up falling asleep on my couch when I try to meditate and having super vivid dreams about exes who I shouldn't even be thinking of and all sorts of other demons and I am up now but so groggy and confused.
Where is the health, vitality, and productivity I was expecting?! No coffee and no sugar were the last of the big vices for me to tackle. I've given up alcohol, given up smoking marijuana, long since gave up cigarettes, fast most of the day, meditate a ton, I SHOULD HAVE DING DANG SUPERPOWERS BY NOW!
Instead I just have to wrestle with these demons, beat them about the head and shoulders with the bottom of my house slipper until I finally get them in a headlock and through clenched teeth I hiss "you will be charming, you will be sweet, and YOU WILL SAY FUCKING GOOD MORNING!"
So good morning Nostr!

Good morning Nostr!
In a first today the morning pages I've done as part of the Artist's Way were not filled with sadness and anger. Instead I wrote about feeling blessed and lucky. Not much has dramatically changed in my day-to-day life since starting this, except I must have needed to push through all those dark feelings. It's really a remarkable revelation for me, because I spend a lot of time and energy focusing on being positive. I've always been very conscious about how uncomfortable the darkness I've experienced can make other people, and I've disliked when other people led with stories of being a victim or otherwise seemed to wallow in the darkness. But I guess in a way I was going too far in the other direction, and denying a part of my experience by rejecting the harder emotions. God gave me those experiences and emotions same as he gave me all this other stuff, so it must be part of the plan. I am glad to be in a different stage of processing that grief, although I'm sure it'll probably cycle through a few times.
The Artist's Way is deeply spiritual, and refers to God more than most things I feel comfortable with (most of my life has been nonreligious and agnostic). I like that the author will often refer to it as "Good orderly direction." It's been really something getting more in touch with my spirituality and it feels auspicious that Lent begins this week as well.
Anyways, I hope everyone feels the grace of God as they need it and has the best day available to them!

I'm sorry you're feeling that way, you definitely aren't alone. Sometimes I try to dig deeper into random emotions because the lack of immediate stimulus can indicate that it's something repressed. But honestly often it's something as simple as I didn't drink enough water instead of any deep psychological issues. I hope you feel better soon!

I always liked how some languages have third person pronouns that are non-gendered. For example in Turkish "who is she?" "Who is he?" And "who is that?" Could all be reasonably translated to "O kim?" The gendered grammer seems like a holdover from the Roman empire.
When I was young I thought societally we would grow towards less pronouns not more. Because I really don't care about what's in anyone's pants or what their philosophical perspective on genitalia is. All I want is to know is... did they send sats?

This was a really fascinating analysis! Thank you for being honest about the AI portion of the work, it's good work I just love to see citations.
One thing I would be curious to see included is labor of food preparation. Here we start the analysis with the 1950s basket of goods, and in the 1950s people still typically kept household help to do the cooking and cleaning. Or at the very least the domestic partner did this labor almost exclusively because it's a lot of work. A big part of the rise of processed foods was that domestic help became too expensive for most middle class families, then middle class women started entering the workforce in mass (women have always worked in lower classes it was only held as a standard to not work in the upper classes as there was a disdain for labor). Then there comes the issue of opportunity cost. If it takes me several hours to make a loaf of sourdough, and I could be making $X/hour in the workforce, then it becomes economically beneficial to the household to buy the processed loaf of bread and work instead of bake. (Especially if the negative health consequences of such processed foods are obscured.)
I suspect if we considered these factors into this CPI analysis we would see even larger increases in the cost of living/ decreases in the value of a dollar. Almost like we went off the rails in the 70s... Almost like there was a gold standard that we abandoned 🤔
Maybe I need to take my unemployed economist self and write up my own white paper on this subject!

GM Nostr! So is it impossible to buy Bitcoin if everyone is holding? Or do I need to get some solar powered mining equipment? Or am I too late?
Back in 2014 someone gave me $600 worth of Bitcoin to pay for a tattoo as a birthday present and I was like, wtf is this my artist only takes actual money? I kick myself every so often thinking about how much that would be now. But to be fair to myself we hadn't really talked about investing or Bitcoin so it's not like I was purposely being obstinate. HEAVY SIGH!
