This is the “Stillness Experiment” Day #019! 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): (8:37 am!)
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: (8:38 am!)
- 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: (8:39 am!)
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
I didn’t get up till after 6 pm this evening… So tired. One year ago today I was watching Sir Paul perform in Mexico City!
When I did get up I ended up at A&W — even though I originally planned to turn into McDonald’s. I was literally seconds away from the entrance when I felt a tiny nudge, a little whisper inside that said, “Go to A&W instead.” That’s how I landed at the Guthrie Road location, where I ordered the Habanero Chicken sandwich, a large coffee, and a chocolate glazed donut I hadn’t intended to buy. But the important part wasn’t the food — it was the girl who took my order. She was from Cebu in the Philippines, and when I told her I had been to Manila, Makati, and Baguio, her whole face lit up. That little conversation sparked something in me. I even said “kamusta” — the first time I’ve ever spoken a Tagalog word to an actual Filipino in my life. It felt like a little bridge-of-incidents moment, a warm flicker of connection in the middle of an otherwise chaotic eating day.
While at A&W, I opened my laptop and watched the beginning of Dances with Wolves (see photo to the right), my classic movie for the month. The barren landscapes on the screen matched the emptiness of the restaurant around me. A lone figure in the wild, unsure but moving forward anyway — that’s exactly how it felt. Another small echo between inner and outer worlds.
Later still, I found myself at another McDonald’s, trying their three-pickle sandwich — something that might be called a McPickle, though I’m not sure. It was 10:02 pm. I sat there in the quiet, nearly empty dining area, looking at my tray: fries, the sandwich, a Canadian-themed drink, each item arranged with the kind of precision that only happens when you dine alone late at night. There was something about the stillness of the place that felt almost cinematic. Like life had paused between frames so I could take one deep breath before moving on.
Throughout the day, the Stillness Experiment continued in its own quiet way. I read The Power of Now, took my notes, checked off my ritual items one by one — ring touch, collar adjustment, calm smirk — and kept learning what it means to settle into presence instead of striving. I even added to the Maggie Murphy list, logging today’s video about divine intelligence and the bridges of incidents that carry us from one point to another. I remembered the story about Bob — the rep who disappeared and then reappeared a year later in the exact role that opened the door that had been shut. Another quiet reminder that everything is always moving, even when you can’t see it.
At some point, I thought about Weetabix again — about how stable, simple foods keep me grounded and how unpredictable nights like this one, with donuts and sandwiches and multiple drive-thru stops, pull me off-center. And yet, even in that wobble, I felt no real judgment. Just awareness. Just presence. Just the quiet knowing that tomorrow will be another day to step back into alignment.
Tonight ends with me looking back at everything — the nudges, the indulgence, the Tagalog moment, the movie, the stillness rituals, the late-night wandering — and realizing that nothing was wasted. Even the messy parts. Even the parts I would normally judge. It all fits into this wider Becoming. This long, uneven, beautifully human story I’m living every day.
And for now, that is enough.
