This is the “Stillness Experiment” Day #013! 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): (11:02 pm!)
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: (11:04 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: (11:05 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
This morning I started late — around 11:40 a.m. — standing by the window and reminding myself to be here, in the now. The air was calm, the day ordinary, but in that ordinariness there was something complete. I went down to feed the chickens before getting ready to leave at about 12:30. My son and I had planned to go fishing that afternoon — just the two of us, rods, tackle box, and a bit of quiet.
On the drive to Maple Lake, I tried to explain to him what I’ve been practicing lately — this idea of living in the present moment. I told him a story from when I was his age: one summer afternoon when I found myself lying in the hayfield beside our old motel. Nobody was around, the air was warm, and I lay there watching clouds, making shapes out of them. I didn’t realize it then, but that was one of the first times I’d ever felt truly in the now. No worries about bullies or tests, no regrets about anything that had already happened — just sky, clouds, and the hum of being alive.
When we reached the lake, two men in a rowboat were finishing up, pulling toward shore. We waited for them to clear before casting from the bank. They’d caught a few fish, but nothing bit for us. A family with small kids arrived, so we decided to move. The men in the boat suggested a better spot across the lake, a narrow spit that people said was the best place for catching trout. We drove around and set up there. Still nothing.

At one point my son found a makeshift pole someone had left — just a stick with string and a hook. He tried that for a while, saying he had a good feeling about it. He didn’t catch anything either, but I liked that he said it. I sat down on a fallen log, my legs getting tired, and told him we’d stay as long as he wanted. When he was ready, we’d grab something to eat. It wasn’t long before he said he’d had enough. He’d brought three pocketknives with him and used them to cut our tangled lines when we lost hooks in the algae — probably two or three by the end. We used Power Eggs for bait (see photo to the right). Maybe next time I’ll bring a series of baits to try out.
We left and drove to Wendy’s. He wanted a cheeseburger kid’s meal and a large chocolate Frosty. He didn’t feel like going inside, so we ate in the car while the light softened over the lake behind us. I dropped him off afterward, went home, and realized how tired I was. My legs ached in that good, used way. I had a quick bite, lay down for a while, and woke later in the evening. By then it was 10:30 p.m. — too late to go out for coffee, so I made some at home, standing at the counter listening to the quiet.
Tonight I also read The Power of Now, pages 101–105. Those sections talk about how most humans are still trapped in the egoic mind, running on thought instead of presence — and how silence is the doorway out. I could feel that truth in today’s fishing trip: the moments between words, the small laughter, the ripples on the water. I didn’t need to catch anything. The stillness was the catch.
Later I watched Maggie Murphy’s #0013 video, “Manifestation Obstacles: The Illusion of Authenticity.” She talked about how we resist changing beliefs because new ideas feel “fake” — but only because they’re unfamiliar. I saw myself in that. I’ve always valued being genuine, but she’s right: authenticity isn’t about repeating old feelings; it’s about living the truest one available now. Maybe that’s what today was about too — showing up, doing something simple, and letting it be enough.
So Day #013 closes with no great miracle, no big revelation — just the rhythm of life itself. Feeding the hens, fishing with my son, eating burgers in the car, and finding peace in a cup of late-night coffee. The lesson, again and again, is that everything I’m looking for has already arrived. The world isn’t waiting for me to change; it’s adjusting to who I already am.
