it’s weird that my second book, while having been thru 10 more rewrites than the first book, is still not as good in my view. there’s something like a missing password, a specific phrase that will unlock and activate the whole thing

I am a strong believer in magic phrases. It’s like memes, you know it when you are in the presence of a truly powerful one

59. which is to say: the hard thing about doing hard things is showing up, not quitting, and not dying, while the oldest and most powerful emotion in your body is screaming at you

“put the gun down” is another good one but that’s not my core thing. that’s someone else’s core thing. it’s my “off-hand” or “secondary” https://t.co/enf6iDEa0B

“No but maybe if I yell harder, hold myself hostage, plead harder, beat myself to within an inch of my life, the strategy that has never worked in my life will suddenly work! I must self-flagellate harder!” No. It does not work. You cannot win this fight. Put the gun down. https://t.co/KPDvGLvI3X

“Ok Visa then what is the core thing” I wish I could tell you!!!!! it’s something about managing your psychology, the project management of your soul, assembling the emotional scaffolding to enable a change of heart, enCOURAGEment and enJOYment, the power in these words

5% less fog https://t.co/lG1K3TTeC6

bc most people are living in a sort of cloud of hallucination and bullshit, cultural hangovers, all sorts of vague fog I’m not claiming to be free from that, far from it but even like 5% less fog can lead to better decisions the hero’s journey is about seeing clearly thru fog

Sometimes when life gets foggy, tumultuous and dark, I navigate via the buoys and lights that past-Visas set up for me. When the skies and seas are clear, I set up buoys for future-Visas. This has helped me rehabilitate a broken relationship with myself into something beautiful https://t.co/QWeOSK0dEi

a thing that often seems to surprise people about the act of forgiving and loving your past selves for all their imperfections, failures, incompetence, etc is that you can then begin to feel the warm glow of your future self's love for you

I came so close here, I basically got it but then walked right past it https://t.co/FfsVzMCCRh

💡!!! this is why it’s so hard to answer, or to help people answer, the question of “how do I figure out what I want”!!! because the challenge is not to find out the the unknown, but to unlearn the coercion that fogs up the whole picture https://t.co/gMjKRuSmn4

4. a fun summary of the many iterations of my drafts is: i've been finding out that to address your boredom you have to address your desires, and to address your desires you have to investigate your self-concept, and to investigate your self-concept is to annihilate yourself

the tension is absolutely melting from my body, I am having a surreal, psychedelic experience, I feel like my entire brain is firing, neurons going wild like a crowd at a major sports event, everything is connecting, everything is coming together. “I see the light” I AM the light https://t.co/1kLY0K6xRo

trying to figure out an optimal linear path that will be the core thread of the book. I know no path will be perfect but I think there's a certain narrative resonance that I haven't quite figured out yet... will probably map it alongside a classic hero's journey https://t.co/xJav1zYQ4O
