I'm on an email list for a guy who calls himself Rama. And yesterday, I got an email from him. And it was interesting because he was talking about the brain being a magnet. And he was talking about joy and how joy attracts more joy with the magnetism of it all. And he's sort of saying that being joyful, creates this magnetic wave of joy, which changes the atomic structure of the world. And I don't know if that's true or not. But it's interesting, because consciousness works in some way. If I'm at a, at a higher level of consciousness, that's going to change the reality I experience, and that will slightly change the reality other people experience as well. If everyone was all of a sudden, at a higher level of consciousness, we would experience a different reality. And so it seems like there are different realities present, it's just a matter of our level of consciousness. And that's what we tap into. And I think with bipolar, we go into these high levels of consciousness and experience these other realities that are there, but they're just not the dominant reality. And that's why I feel like it's a calibration for us to see other maps and ways of, of getting there. And then he even talks about focusing on our hair in order to increase this magnetism. And he says, focusing on the top of your head increases your brain's magnetic power. And it makes all of your thoughts more potent. And I like what he's saying. At the same time, I feel like, if the mind is clear, if the brain is clear, then one doesn't have to think thoughts. There's perception. And then that sort of gives understanding, which can be a joyful process in itself. So we don't actually have to consciously think joyful thoughts. It would be more about clearing the mind of all thought. But at the same time, thinking joyful thoughts is still a lot better. Then thinking, sad thoughts, for sure. And he says, you have to imprint and encode your version of reality into existence. And that's an alignment with the blueprint that I think that we're given in our brain, when we go into manic consciousness, we get the blueprint of the reality of the higher levels of consciousness. And then it's up to us to, to harvest that and to move towards it. And we don't have to do that. But it's an option. And it's could be a fun game, it could be a fun way to use our suppose ID freewill. Because in those highest levels of consciousness, we realize it's all one and we don't really have freewill. And sometimes that can get us into trouble. So we come back here where we have apparent freewill. And then we can still harvest and practice and embody that which we know will unfold those higher levels of consciousness not just within ourselves, but within other people as well. And I think that's the whole gesture thing. Because I had this insight today that one of the ways to have joy be one's predominant state is to help create that in other people. So I think the brain needs to be wired for these higher levels of consciousness. It already is wired for that it's just a matter of actually negating the wiring that is not inspiring. And I feel like medication is is chemical castration of this transformation process that keeps those lower circuits glued together. And that could be helpful. Just like Dr. Daniel Fisher said, these medications will buy you some time. But it'
