It’s Fry-Day Again!

The Little Cottage on the Ridge — available as a print.

Yep, it’s Friday once again, and there’s a tradition at our house — we serve fries on Fry-Day. They’re golden brown, great aroma, and they are, I’m told, very tasty.

The thing is, they’re not on my diet, but I can still enjoy seeing them, and remembering how they tasted — for me, the memory alone is strong enough to satisfy. Continue reading

A New Induction

Here’s a new induction related to the God State material:

How to Deliver the Induction

  1. Set the Tone:
    Begin with calming music or silence. Speak slowly and clearly, with a warm, steady tone. If recording, leave pauses for the participant to absorb each step.
  2. Structure:
    Break the induction into three parts:

    • Grounding: Relaxation and focus on the body.
    • Visualization: Guiding into the higher dimension and experiencing the stars and trails.
    • Integration: Returning gently to the present, carrying the insights.
  3. Practical Delivery:
    • If live, adjust based on the group’s energy.
    • If recorded, aim for about 8–12 minutes, leaving enough silence for contemplation without dragging.

Suno Makes the Market!

Monetizing Your Songwriting

Congratulations! You’ve just made your 100th song on Suno, and now you’re thinking they might be worth money.

Well, the chances are, you’d be wrong. Out of a million zillion songwriters, maybe one will make it to the top, and when you’re talking online markets only, the chances of success are even slimmer.

But you can always try, and here’s how you’d likely go about it: Continue reading

How do you get Smooth Transitions?

John Cunningham Lilly, M.D.

A constant subject for discussions with John and Toni Lilly was the general effect of transitioning between quantum and newtonian experiential data.

What I mean is, the transition was always rough. John spent a month at my house in Crestline recovering from one particularly difficult transition, and it gets complicated, so we were always looking for things that might assuage the transitionary effects. Continue reading
