The Factory

We are alive. We are the factory.

Imagine having trillions of little factories which functioned at your beck and call. Think of them as having tiny aggregate potential to create whatever you truly desire, as fast as they can…as fast as they know how.

As I have progressed through Energy Cultivation, I now know that these factories are in fact part of my cells. The mitochondria are all part of this system.

It’s as if the mitochondria in each cell are like the T-1000 liquid from Terminator 2. They have a goal, they are quite powerful, but they require instructions at times and function much more powerfully in large groups than in small clusters.

This relates to MECE because after this last cycle, (I’ve been tending to have cycles based on the seasons of the year) I realized what is really happening. Human males are equipped genetically with stem cell factories. When I was in Catholic school back in the early 1990’s a guest instructor who was also a pharmacist told us that the male reproductive fluid, when not in use…was broken down and recirculated throughout the blood stream.

It didn’t even hit me until today what that really meant. Why are headaches and other minor pains always happening to me at the start of a new cycle? It’s now so obvious and clear, this fluid is like potent stem cell material that is 100% free. It’s no wonder that ancient cultures used to attribute this stuff with concepts of “male life force” and other such ideas.

But as a scientist, I always want to get to the bottom of things. I know this isn’t exactly my entire life force. Otherwise, I wouldn’t exist at the start of a new cycle. So what I think is going on, is that the male life force is amplified by the amount of this broken down material flowing and circulating through the blood stream. If I had to guess, this liquid also has versions of it…when a person is cultivating properly for a long time…which can penetrate the blood-brain barrier.

The brain is an extremely greedy organ, it needs water, it gets hot, it is fat…made of fat that is. This thing is greed. So if I had to guess, inside the brain a sort of alchemy must take place. It’s probably a sort of microcosm of the types of fusion reactions which occur inside a star. Heat, pressure and time. Heat, pressure and time. The chemistry of the cosmos. The geometry of the mind.

Alchemy. Human alchemy, nothing less nothing more. If you asked a writer what alchemy was. He or should would probably say its an outdated pseudoscience from the pre-reniassance era. But if you asked an astronomer what alchemy is, he or she would likely say it is a simplified explanation for complex quantum and atomic changes within a star or next to an extreme gravity well.

That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I wanted to know for a fact if this was possible within a microcosm environment. And it is. Let me explain further.

In this strange movie called, “Naked Lunch” the character becomes so warped that his own mind/brain begins producing the neuro-toxins (nutrients?) that would create certain chemical changes within his body. In the case of the main character, he would experience different emotional states. Why did the character develop this issue? In the film, the character developed this because he desired certain mind states. Our desires directly affect not only our minds, but the chemistry of our bodies as well.

How does this relate to MECE?

It’s simple. Through the past couple years, I’ve found that the more I attempt to cultivate, the easier it becomes. It doesn’t become more difficult, it gets easier. I learn.

Maybe, the more I learn from this experiment, the more aware the mitochondria inside become of the experimenter. The mitochondria must already know that chemical changes are happening from a food and behavior perspective. That’s why during a the end of a cultivation cycle, I tend to have an entire month or more of feeling generally happy-go-lucky all the time. Things don’t tend to bother me. It’s as if I have a thick skin without really having to sacrifice vulnerability and emotional closeness. I like that.

The more I think about it. I think the mitochondria are just as curious about where this experiment is going to go as I am.

Energy Cultivation via internal edits can lead to manifestation of the external: In this case creating concept art for software

Caloric intake. That’s an interesting term which is often coupled with the idea of, “Caloric Value.” For indeed, Calories are stored forms of energy. They yield heat when they are accessed by the body of organic and inorganic machinery.

When one is cultivating, there is an eventual discernment between superfluous and extremely important details. As I’ve been cultivating more and more, the same details which seemed superfluous before…now have immense value. Calories are among them.

You might be guessing where this is going.

Food has Caloric data associated with it. But our society today is concerned with obesity, so calories are being demonized in a way where we should, “Watch our calories.” So we see information at restaurants which notes the numbers and we try to avoid those foods. But what happens when one wants calories for energy cultivation and production? 

There are healthy calories and they’re empty calories, there’s bad calories and they’re good calories…the whole process can become so tedious and tiresome that many potential energy cultivators get so sucked into the mental neurosis of the process, that they throw their hands up and give up entirely. That’s unfortunate because diet and calories and all that silly stuff is actually a fun way for the individual to get to know his own personality and therefore craft his own optimal exercise/work and food intake regimen in order to achieve his own goals and aspirations. Because isn’t this the whole point in the first place…doing what you said you were going to do?

I recently watched a film called, “PI” which was beyond excellent. It dealt with math and suffering and the ever-prevalent, “One man’s defeat/victory in finding the unobtainable” which we find so often in cautionary tales. But one thing stood out to me when I watched it: The main character was suffering from intense headaches.

Now the concept of headaches is one of tremendous debate but it was obvious in the film by how there were consistent auditory references and even his own words relating to his intentions with mathematics…that the main character was trying to accomplish a goal and he was willing to enter isolation and make sacrifices in order to manifest a goal. That set of character traits and circumstances would make me think this fictional person was an energy cultivator of some sort or fashion.

In the film, the character would hear a sound when he was alone that gave him physical discomfort. This is extremely important. This sound that one hears when the lights are off and the computer is off and the TV and phone are off…IS COMPLETELY NORMAL. It will pass, there’s absolutely no need to punish one’s self over it. Actually from my experience, the more I try to “cater” to the sound by doing something to help it…the greater the discomfort becomes.

As a scientist, I’ve found through monitoring cause and effect relationships, that this sound is actually a form of sensory overload. Our society has so many automatic inputs such as TV, daily city-life noises, computer games, phones, and a plethora of other audio/visual inputs not counting things we can’t even see or hear but our bodies are still affected by them…that it is no wonder that when the lights are off and sounds should fade, that our minds seek out and/or amplify ambient noises. A similar concept would be if you were in a very loud room for a business meeting, and then at the end of the day you entered the shower but didn’t turn on the water…you would probably be more sensitive to the sound of the lights in the bathroom…or perhaps in incessant dripping of the faucet. Your mind is simply attempting to adjust to the new setting. There’s nothing to worry about. Laugh at the process.

Now here’s where the caloric intake information has some value and ties into all this stuff:

The more energy you consume by either eating or getting sunlight or drinking clean water and mixing that all with a little exercise of some sort or another…It all translates into energy which you can put toward something else. So in my case, I’ve found that the more I eat, and the more water I drink, the more I can do computer programming training, read books and/or work on my computer programming projects such as the “character” whom is pictured above. That little guy is going to be part of a showcase game that I’m working on to show my skills as a novice game designer. In my case, unlike the character from “PI” who was attempted to understand the spiral number of the universe so he could predict the stock market. My goal is to make a showcase game, not a big one, just something that will give a team an idea of my coding/art abilities. But nonetheless, both myself and the fictional character from “PI” are trying to turn one thing into another thing. Energy into a product. And to do that, one needs to consume calories.

If you consume calories and then don’t train or create something, then your body is going to store that energy for later. There is absolutely nothing wrong with gaining weight or getting fat or getting skinny or any of that stuff. What important is that you’re doing it in order to accomplish something. If you find yourself manipulated by media archetypes and muscle magazines and feel inferior, guess what: Then you’re actually not cultivating. You’re just any other dude who wants to look good. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Your life will probably be alot of fun so laugh a little and enjoy life.

But if you look at media archetypes and muscle magazines and think to yourself, “This is a scam” then you’re developing what I call, “The Eye of Wisdom” and this is important. Because this means you’ve already gained a boon from your cultivation. You might be thinking you’re just stepping into the pool, but you’ve been cultivating for a very long time in this actual lifetime, so now it’s time to use that Eye to your advantage and increase the rate by which you cultivate.

And that’s exactly what this project is all about. This little experiment I’ve been doing has been one question. Can one increase the rate by which he cultivates?

The answer to that question is undoubtedly in my specific case: Yes. It’s a painful process, but it works and for me it was worth it. Here’s some things to watch out for:

First and foremost, if your conscience says you are going against your own nature by doing something, you’re going against your goals/values…and if you consistently do it anyway then you may have successfully identified a “Vice” or something which is contrary to your cultivation. If its really bad and it makes you feel like the man from, “PI” then you might want to consider either writing this thing down and discussing it with your friends and/or family. But remember, tackling vices is not cultivation. The goal is cultivation for actually doing what you want to do, not to be some sort of perfect person. If you want to become some sort of perfect person celebrity…why not just become a celebrity? The world needs role models right now, so if you’re tackling vises like they’re some sort of achievement, then you would probably make some sort of successful public speaker or maybe a good commercial actor.

Secondly, 90% of what happens in your day and in your mind has absolutely nothing to do with you. Something gnarly happened on the other side of the country or in another part of the world. Guess what? You can’t do anything about it and you probably shouldn’t do anything about it anyway. So consuming ridiculous amounts of things that you don’t want to consume because it will make you not work effectively on your personal projects is in no way going to help this external problem. The idea that people should “feel bad” for things that are out of their control is manufactured in order to keep you from ascending rungs in society. It is a system which is highly effective for normal hierarchical societal constructs because in hierarchical latticeworks…there are a limited number of desirable positions of luxury and status. But if you are an energy cultivator, you are saying you want to create new systems…which inherently creates new markets and opportunities for growth in a civilization. So you don’t have to compete with anybody…just staying true to your own goals and values will manifest opportunities for yourself and possibly others if your projects lead to team-employment opportunities. So don’t burn calories, “worrying” about things that are external to your immediate power radius. Save that precious energy and use it when the time is right.

If you want to know more about this subject matter, feel free to browse the “MECE” category on this website. There’s a lot more frank information on my personal process on this matter.

Coffee Trees

Personal Growth: It’s almost an oxymoron. The idea that people grow as individuals…isolated from the greater system. I don’t believe it.

In fact, if one was to be isolated from his or her entire species…let’s say on a continent devoid of any human life…That person would still be adding to growth of his or her species through every insight, every joy and every disappointment.

Similarly to quantum entanglement of particles, we all come from either the creator source or the big bang if you will. As we gain insight, our experiences are transmitted to each other across vast oceans of space and time. There’s no real need to discuss these insights in detail…although when one chooses to do with sincerity it has the potential to either assist or inspire others as they travel along their paths.

One thing I’ve noticed on this journey is that I’m having an easier time distinguishing my personal conscience, the needs of my society and intangible connections.

When I am feeling like I have a question about what I should do next, it’s less about being right…and it’s more about doing what is right.

I was thinking about the idea that DNA and light are intertwined. According to a theory, when light hits DNA there is a sort of phantom effect which records the DNA in space and time. I like that idea.

But what’s the actual point? Are we simply sub-systems which run around and try to solve problems more efficiently? I doubt any of this has to do with solving problems. There is no problem. I think this has to do more with bandwidth for honesty. How much truth can one being handle before he or she simply rejects either the personal microcosm or the greater system as a whole? As the abundance of available knowledge grows without statistically any hitch, I’d say  human beings are ideal candidates for absorbing, contemplating upon and disseminating truth. We may not be pro’s at it yet, but we’ll get there.

To think that I’m only 32 years old, and there is so much access…so much freedom of knowledge available to each other either through the internet, word of mouth, music and books. It makes me feel like I’ve been handed the keys to a limitless treasure house of so much value, that even if I tried my very best and gave half of it away, wasted what was left and took the scraps for myself…that tiny sliver, that ridiculously minute sector of treasure would be more than I could ever spend in my entire lifetime. That’s what I’ve been handed. Not through some elaborate inheritance, not through physical or mental toil or labor…but because our society currently says, “It’s good to learn and share your ideas.”

I don’t think this has anything to do with money or respect from peers anymore. We’re approaching knowledge and understanding for the challenge of gaining sharper wisdom and clearer insight.

I was reading the story of Etana this morning. It’s a very old story. In the tale, an eagle broke a pact with a snake and was punished by the bearer of the net. Net, grid, sky, magnetic field, they all seem to interrelate and make more sense now.

At the end of the story, the human, Etana helped bring an eagle back to a healthy state, and he was given a ride. He saw lakes and oceans become smaller and smaller as his perspective changed. As he was held by the eagle’s talons he saw his old life which used to seem so large…become like a tiny dot.

Are there good reasons to be afraid of things? Of course. There currently are many things to give someone pause. But I don’t think those things and reasons are good enough reasons to stop someone from achieving his or her dreams. I don’t think any dream is worth sacrificing one’s personal conscience. A dream is a dream, my mind is now.

If I had to speak my last words. The sentence would be made from body language. Perhaps a nod, perhaps a smile.

Could the corporeal self be an interference pattern for consciousness to flow into?

When I woke up today, I laughed. The mirror helped me realize that I’m not the same person one day to the next. Let me explain…

My body seems more like a vessel or interference pattern than a self. When I awaken from my temporary torpor, I adjust to my life in a similar way to how someone puts on a comfortable jacket. I see my room, remember that I’m no longer dreaming, and then proceed with my day.

The computer, the carpet, the slight hum of my lamp…they all seem to set the stage. And once I look into the mirror, I see the host for the performance. But the person within the body does indeed feel different from day to day. It’s as if my body has a memory and the consciousness that enters the body has a memory.

So instead of trying to make today the “be all and end all” of days. I tend to make little changes, tiny progress, manageable advancements…these adjustments lend themselves to creating something. But what’s interesting is that the cultivation process makes the decisions during the day more vivid and manageable. It’s as if one can highlight one’s own behavior and instantly determine whether or not that behavior was helping the process. But what truly is the processes goal?

At this point, the goal seems to let whatever is affected by the interference pattern or body to stay longer, and fill up. I guess in the end it all has to do with energy. Can one hold onto energy and then convert it…into something useful? I feel that right now I’m still trying to use the energy which is gained from cultivation for the purpose of becoming better at cultivation. If this sounds circular that’s because it is. I’m a complete novice when it comes to Biology, but for some reason the term, “Krebs Cycle” keeps popping into mind.

This may sound completely mundane, but recycling my old-broken computer had a tremendous affect on the whole process lately. A single eye-sore that’s been with me every day was removed and it feels like it’s an interior decoration blockage which has been removed.

I can say with absolute certainty that this experiment is turning into a success. At first these posts were like a diary of roadblocks which were keeping me honest with my own set of rules. Now the posts themselves are more like a living journal and barometer for the effectiveness of MECE in general. And like any good barometer, this one has metrics.

Early on, I stated how I wanted to learn computer programming and this process has directly helped me do that. I can’t say if it would work for anyone else and I don’t even recommend anyone following anyone else’s process anyway. Life is about figuring things out for yourself. It’s one thing to take information from others and use it at your own pace to make educated decisions…but following someone else’s guide for anything to the letter is usually a thirty-minute recipe for disaster.

But it is abundantly clear that I’ve redirected my energy at least somewhat efficiently into learning action-script. Books on programming action-script for games used to be completely daunting and mentally drain me after just a few minutes of reading. Now I’m over half-way done with my actionscript book. It’s blowing my mind to think I’ll be able to make games with moving, object oriented graphics soon.

Looking back on things, I can say that a couple years ago I felt that I was running behind on my life. I felt like I had ran out of time to make something of myself. It was as if the younger, hopeful person of my teenage years was disappointed with the man I’ve become. And that kind of feeling wasn’t good…it actually felt like trash.

But now I feel like I’m actually, exactly back on track with where I thought I’d be around my age. It’s hilarious actually. The thought that life can take such a ridiculous set of detours…just to get back on the cobblestone road in the nick of time to rejoin the race.

The consciousness I discussed earlier feels like water, or a river. It has no time, no beginning or end. My body, my life, even my knowledge and skills seem like a river-bed which is crafted. All I have time to do is add or subtract the occasional rounded rock from the cobblestone road of a river bed. But the water is flowing freer now, and although I don’t know if I’m the river or the riverbed…I don’t need to know. Because I love the sound of moving water, and the occasional waves.
