This is the “Stillness Experiment” Day #007! 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): (This evening!)

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: (This evening!)

  • 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: (This evening!)

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

The Stillness Experiment continues — Day #007. Tonight feels quiet, grounded, and oddly full. The morning started slow, like it wanted to test whether I could hold stillness before movement. The kids had their violin and viola concert downtown at the Sid Williams Theatre, so we drove to downtown Courtenay. Watching them play reminded me how sound travels through intention — how every bow stroke carries the residue of presence. I think that’s what Eckhart and Neville were both pointing to: when you’re here, what you touch vibrates differently.

2025-11-02 - Oat Bread

I made some oat bread in the air fryer today (see photo to the right).

Spot, one of our hens, died last night. I buried her this evening behind the compost heap. The soil was rocky and stubborn, but it felt right to give her that bit of effort. Afterward I was tired enough that I fell into a nap, woke up sore-armed and thoughtful, and ate something small before sitting down to write. That mix of fatigue and reflection is where the Stillness Experiment seems to work best — when the mind gives up its edge and the heart takes over.

I kept thinking about time. About the years I spent studying visualization and anchoring back in the Tony Robbins era, building vision boards and chasing the idea of becoming someone. I knew about those tools long before I met Neville. Maybe I even crossed paths with what I was looking for once or twice and didn’t recognize it. At sixty-five, it’s easy to imagine the boat has sailed — yet Maggie Murphy’s voice keeps reminding me that time isn’t running out. Tonight’s chapter in The Power of Now hit that same note:
“You will not be free of that pain until you cease to derive your sense of self from identification with the mind… the mind is then toppled from its place of power and Being reveals itself as your true nature.”
That line still echoes. It feels like permission to stop measuring by years and start living from the end, even if the end is simply peace.

I spent part of the day experimenting in the kitchen again — turning that oat-bread batter into a loaf in the air fryer, then building out a Lentil & Veggie Power Spaghetti. It’s the same base I’ve been refining: spaghetti, lentils, riced cauliflower, heaps of vegetables, tomato, herbs. Around three hundred calories for a mountain of food that actually satisfies. The surprise discovery was that I could make it in the Instant Pot, and that adding glucomannan in trace amounts gives the sauce a velvety weight without changing the flavor. Too much turns it gummy, but a quarter teaspoon feels like magic — like eating fullness without density.

After dinner I watched Maggie Murphy’s video #0007 — “Manifestation Techniques: Dealing With Your ‘Helpful’ Ego.” I smiled when she said she sometimes tells her ego to “go away” and keeps going. Mine still chatters, but tonight it’s quieter. Maybe it’s finally realizing I’m not listening for its approval anymore.

So this was Sunday: a concert, a burial, a nap, a new recipe, a reflection on the body and time. Presence hiding in ordinary things. The work today wasn’t about transformation — it was about steadiness. I’m learning that peace is not the reward at the end of effort; it’s the soil from which everything worthwhile grows. Spot is buried, the kids are asleep, the house is still. I close the day with the same gentle knowing I started it with: I am already him, and the world is simply catching up.
