Yesterday I edited videos while doing two laps of this park. This morning, I started pretending that I could design some kind of more succinct course, because I've talked to myself for probably going on 200 hours on video now. And I would think that I might be able to create something that as summarized, because it's a lot of me talking to myself. And I wrote this. And so I was trying to break it down into several parts. And the first one is safety. Because living in these new ways can feel unsafe at times. And it's a process that doesn't guarantee survival. And neither does daily life. Anything can happen at any moment. Whether one is going through some kind of transformational process or just walking down the street. So making it through isn't guaranteed and none of us are going to make it through at the end. But I feel like we can create safety for ourselves using different tools that make us feel safe when we can be very creative with this. What makes me feel safe and what's helped me over the last couple years is having some kind of PRN, anti psychotic, having also a zap strap so I can keep myself safe somewhere I keep my body safe if I start experiencing things that aren't really congruent in my mind. And then a lot of times it's just the gesture of knowing that that is there. That keeps me feeling safe. And I don't actually have to carry that out. So I'm going to insect just pooped. This could be a sign from the universe. What was your all truism? So I'm going to skip ahead to step four, which is harvest practice embody and what was your altruism, because the universe via some kind of insect excrement wanted to highlight that point. And harvest practice and body is something that is ongoing. One can recognize elements from the magic state in daily life when one doesn't feel like one is in the state of magic. Maybe I can use the word you are we I like the word we. And then step two is designing your dreams. And I realized that that could possibly be a good step to and I welcome your feedback on this because now that I've transcended and I'm no longer on medications and not needing to, in voluntarily participate in the mental health system. And that energy is freed up from worrying about all of that and feeling like one day I would like to transcend. I'm realizing how do I live? What is life all about now that I don't need to refer everything to mental health that happens in my life. So I feel like I could have benefited from designing that while tapering off medications. And so this is for people who want to taper off or who have tapered off or are dreaming of that one day and gestures of moving towards those dreams even before one has tried intended because I feel like part of what helped me live the dream of tapering off medication was moving towards and carrying out my dream of going to California. So I might have thought, Well, when I taper off medications one day, if I ever do, and I'm out of the system, and I'm feeling good, then I'll go to California.
