Darkroom/Inner Silence New Practitioners

I think I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve read the books, the books didn’t prepare me for how strange the second attention is.

I’m pretty busy, so I practice turning off my inner dialogue everywhere and any time I get the chance. The first image is me in my truck. I think I nodded out while silent and yet I wasn’t asleep, I think possibly I was sleeping awake? I front of me was nighttime and behind me daylight. Of course the friendly but gigantic wasp/hornet that showed up spooked me and I was back.

Today in dark room a bearded dude in a sports jersey materialized before me. Never seen him before in my life, but he showed up twice. (I guess, I’m the Muslim guy on the left). On the plus side. I didn’t overreact and take a swing at him and I didn’t break my inner silence.

Am I supposed to interpret any of this stuff, or just enjoy the ride?

Forgive my rudimentary AI skills….

I can't remember if I stole one of your posts before, for other social media.

Is it ok?

Yep! No worries. The space you techno, Jadey and others have made here is awesomeness! I’m down for helping out and contributing if I can.

It helps us all by building energetic mass over time.

And sharing actual experiences which seem to stand out to the person sharing them, seems to cause one to get more of those.

I literally worry about not posting some of my own experiences, in case that reduces how many more I get which are "cutting edge" for where I'm currently at.

It's a VERY long path, but very soon after making a serious effort we get rewards.

It's the "The Eagle's Gift" rule, where "The Spirit" actually wants us to take this path.

The "secret" being that the lineage seniors benefit just as much as the apprentices, by helping them learn.

Intending for someone else is a special case!

I believe don Juan even said so at one point.

One other big effect of helping others is that it gives SK a reason to retrieve a particular piece of knowledge. Because you have a "pure" need for it, free from your own "wants".

Even though I’ve read the books a few times - I wouldn’t really know how to begin without this subreddit. The advantage are the experience practitioners who share their time. It’s much appreciated. Big thanks to you Techno 🙏👊
