This is the “Stillness Experiment” Day #016! Coming next? Item #1 on my “ToDo List”: (You can use these symbols: ☐✅).
By the way, here’s what ChatGPT said about this framework: This is an absolutely stellar 30-day framework — it’s comprehensive but still rhythmic, and it hits your mind–body–spirit axis exactly right.
🌅 Morning Grounding! The “Why”!
✅ #01: 🤔 Read & Reflect! (Neville + Tolle + Becoming Integration): (Done!)
This morning I stop chasing the man I’ve been trying to become. After one hundred seventy+ days of creating, refining, and reaching, I see that he was never somewhere else. He’s been breathing through every frame I’ve lived. Eckhart calls this Presence. Neville calls it Living in the End. Both point to the same truth: When I am fully here, I am already there.
The next thirty days are not about results — they’re about re-tuning the instrument through which results arrive. I’m teaching my nervous system that safety is not earned through striving; it’s found in awareness. When my body learns to rest, my imagination becomes fertile again. That’s what this Stillness Experiment will do — it rewires the baseline from effort to ease.
I breathe, and air fills my lungs without permission. That is grace — the same grace that moves money, love, and health into form when I stop blocking it with tension. Each calm breath is a rehearsal for peace, and peace is the vibration that makes everything grow.
If lack appears, I smile — that’s an echo, not a prophecy. If desire stirs, I feel it real for a heartbeat, then release it into faith. That’s the marriage of Neville and Tolle: imagination without grasping, surrender without apathy.
Every act today — sipping coffee, writing, walking, feeding the hens — is my quiet line delivery: “I am already him. The world is adjusting to the truth.”
Even my body is learning that truth. At 199 lbs I’ll feel light, strong, and unguarded — but that number isn’t a race; it’s the outer reflection of this inner calm. Peace in the mind becomes balance in the body. That’s the physics of Becoming.
✅ #02: 💫 What These 30 Days Will Do: (Done!)
- Re-calibrate the nervous system from fight-or-flight to flow.
- Dissolve the reflex to measure worth through doing.
- Reconnect imagination with stillness, so creation feels effortless again.
- Let the body find its natural weight and rhythm through peace, not pressure.
- Restore joy in ordinary life — the proof that the work has integrated.
✅ #03: 🕊️ What Comes After: (Done!)
When the 30 days close, I won’t “return” to Neville — I’ll arrive there new. From presence, imagination becomes play again. From rest, action becomes art. Then I can choose the next experiment — perhaps the 90-day Creation Phase, or Manifesting Mastery Deluxe by Mr. TwentyTwenty, or simply the quiet rhythm of life itself — but it will rise from calm, not craving.
The goal after these 30 days isn’t transformation. It’s stability. A steady peace I can build anything upon.
So I move through today knowing: The work is no longer about Becoming. The work is remembering that I already Am. And from that awareness, all good things begin moving toward me.

📋Additional Daily Notes
Today was Canadian Remembrance Day, so both kids were home from school. The morning felt quiet and calm, the kind of silence that naturally makes you stop and think for a bit. I thought about what the day really means — remembering those who gave their lives, but also remembering what matters in everyday life.
I started the day with my Stillness Experiment. The main idea is that I don’t have to keep trying to become someone new. The version of me I’m chasing is already here. When I slow down and stay aware of my body, I can actually feel that. It’s not about forcing results anymore, but about letting things flow from a calmer place.
Katie and I decided to go for a drive. She wanted something sweet, so we stopped at Tim Hortons. She ordered a white hot chocolate after seeing it on the menu with whipped cream and sprinkles. When they handed it to her in a plain paper cup with a plastic lid, she wasn’t impressed. I had to show her how the lid worked because it was a new kind. Then she got a strawberry-filled donut, which she didn’t like either because it was just jam, not real strawberries.
Bobby went over to Brodie’s house to play street hockey. That made me smile because I spent a lot of my own childhood doing the same thing. Brodie’s brothers were playing too. They usually move around like a little pack, but they’re a good bunch.
Later, Bobby came home and started watching The Flash again. I told him he’d probably like The Arrow too, but it’s not on Netflix anymore. I remember it used to be on the CW network, but I’m not sure where to find it here now.
I bought A&W tonight for dinner and ate it at my desk while I watched some YouTube at my desk and did my journal updates (see photo to the right).
In the evening, I read a few pages from The Power of Now — about how transformation happens through the body, not by denying it. That really connected with what I’ve been learning lately. Tolle wrote that when we stay connected to the inner body, we stay grounded in the present moment. The body isn’t the problem — it’s the doorway to awareness. He said the more attention you give to your inner body, the stronger and more peaceful you become. It even helps the immune system and slows aging. It’s an interesting thought, that peace can literally change the body.
Later I watched a Maggie Murphy video called “Manifesting Physical Changes.” She talked about how people often want to fix things on the outside — like scars or stretch marks — but the real change starts inside. She told a story about doing affirmations like “My stomach is perfect” and how it led her to try dry brushing. That small shift made a big difference for her. Her point was that how you feel about yourself changes how you appear to others. You don’t need to fight your body; you need to care for it.
By the end of the night, the house was quiet again. I sat for a while in the Barn Suite and just breathed. Today’s theme — from every direction — seemed to be about being at peace with what is. Whether it’s the body, the mind, or even the past, fighting doesn’t help. Remembering does. And on a day like Remembrance Day, that message fits perfectly.
