This is the “Stillness Experiment” Day #002! 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): (11:00 pm!)

This morning I stop chasing the man I’ve been trying to become. After one hundred sixty 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: (11:01 pm!)

  • 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: (11:02 pm!)

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

It was one of those classic Comox mornings — soaked, gray, and unhurried. My wife was already off helping with the salad bar at my son’s school, so I took our daughter to school. It was 8:50 a.m. and raining cats and dogs. She put on her raincoat and boots, saying her mother would be shocked, but comfort was the goal today. She forgot her umbrella, but she didn’t seem to care.

On the drive to Vanier, she said something that caught me off guard — that she actually likes the rain now. That it mirrors her mood. She said she no longer needs the sun to feel good. That struck me deeply — this from the same girl who once hated gray days. She’s learning to let things be what they are. Maybe she’s beginning to glimpse what I’m just starting to live: that peace doesn’t depend on weather — it depends on presence.

☕ The Café Scene

After dropping her off, I thought I’d go to North Island College for a coffee, maybe sit by Student Life and borrow some Wi-Fi. But the parking lot was full. There was one space far off in the rain, but it didn’t feel right. Not a bridge of incidence. So I turned the car around and followed the redirect to Quality Foods in Comox.

2025-10-28 - Quality Foods Comox

I climbed the stairs to their second-floor café, and ordered their Early Start Breakfast Sandwich and Coffee Combo for $5.99, and found a table by the window (see photo to the right). The view looked out over the wet parking lot, the kind of gray and gold morning that almost feels filmed in slow motion.

When I first sat down, there was a woman across from me — mid-forties, laptop open, businesslike but calm. The kind of quiet presence that makes you curious but not distracted. Then I opened my tablet and played Maggie Murphy’s second video on her Neville Goddess channel: “Manifestation: The Desire is the Means. The State is the End.”

Her voice was steady, almost hypnotic. She said the desire isn’t something to get rid of — it’s the bridge itself. You don’t adopt a state to get the thing; you want the thing so you can experience the state. The state is the end.

I must have been watching for just a couple of minutes when I looked up and — she was gone. The woman across from me had vanished. I didn’t see her stand, didn’t hear a chair scrape. Just… gone. Like a film cut where a character disappears between frames. Maybe she finished her coffee and left quietly. Or maybe she was only meant to appear for a moment — an apparition in my little classroom of now.

☂ The Chairs and the Rain

As the café filled up, people started hunting for seats. I was sitting at a four-top, and for a second, I felt guilty — three chairs empty, others standing. But I didn’t feel like offering today. Not out of selfishness, but because I’m tired of always giving up space before anyone asks.

And sure enough, a few minutes later, two women appeared beside me. “Do you mind if we take the chairs?”

I smiled and said, “Go right ahead.”

They lifted them and left. Easy. No effort, no guilt. The situation took care of itself.

Outside, the rain came down harder, tracing soft lines down the window. I could see the reflection of the parking lot lights, the steady rhythm of umbrellas. Everything seemed to be working together — like a film with invisible choreography.

Downstairs by the checkout, TIME Magazine displayed “Best Inventions of 2025 — Robots Come Home”. Beside it, MAD Magazine declared, “Fixes Cats.” Order and absurdity, side by side — the world’s sense of humor intact.

🌧️ Evening Echo — “The Role of Action”

By night, the rain still hadn’t stopped. At 8:58 p.m., I logged into my computer and, without even searching, a video appeared: “Neville Goddard / Wallace Wattles – The Role of Action in Manifesting.”

The timing felt uncanny. After a full day of living the state is the end, the universe now showed me the bridge between being and doing. It was as if the morning’s lesson had come full circle — first the stillness, now the motion. The message was clear: once you’re in the state, action isn’t struggle — it’s the natural expression of alignment.

I watched it with the sound of rain against the glass and felt that small click of synchronicity that says, You’re on the right line.

📚 Study Notes — The Power of Now

Later, I read Chapter 1, sections 1–2, of The Power of Now: “You Are Not Your Mind.”

Key points landed deep:

  • True wealth is the radiant joy of Being. (p. 11)
  • Enlightenment isn’t something earned — it’s the end of suffering. (p. 12)
  • Thinking has become a disease; freedom begins when you realize you are not the thinker. (pp. 15–16)
  • Everything that truly matters — beauty, love, creativity, joy — arises from beyond the mind. (p. 16)
  • Liberation begins when you listen to thought without judgment. (p. 18)
  • The measure of your progress is the degree of peace you feel. (p. 20)

Reading those lines after the day I’d lived felt like confirmation. The morning at the café was a live demonstration of those pages — noticing without judging, redirecting without resistance, letting the scene move through me instead of trying to control it.

🧘 Maggie Murphy — Desire as the Bridge

My notes from her video almost felt like an echo of Tolle:

“You don’t adopt the state to get the thing. You want the thing so you can have the state.
The state is the end. When you realize you can reach the state without the thing,
you realize you are God — bliss is your base state.”

That line — bliss is your base state — stayed with me. It reframed everything: the rain, the vanished woman, even the quiet neutrality I felt when I didn’t offer my chairs. Bliss doesn’t always feel like fireworks; sometimes it’s just peace, the absence of inner noise.

🌙 Closing Reflections

It’s late now. The house is quiet. My daughter is in a good mood tonight, buoyed by her grades. My wife’s thrilled about her Island Health meeting — a small seed that might grow into something new. My son is probably asleep, dreaming of Halloween candy.

Hurricane Melissa is pounding Jamaica tonight with Category 5 winds, heading toward Cuba. The world feels fragile and vast all at once. Here, in our small corner of rain and candlelight, everything feels contained — safe, even.

Today was about realizing that everything — from the weather to a missing umbrella to a random YouTube video — is part of one conversation: the dialogue between state and circumstance.

And maybe the message is simple:
You don’t wait for life to be sunny to feel peace.
You find peace first — and then even the rain approves.
