This is the “Stillness Experiment” Day #024! 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): (10:02 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: (10:03 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: (10:04 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
Today didn’t go the way I originally planned, but maybe that’s becoming the new rhythm of my life — things shifting, redirecting, unfolding in ways I didn’t expect.
I actually woke up early today instead of sleeping in. First thing: shower, measurements, progress photos, and my AI Diet Guide update. There’s something steadying about doing these morning “anchors,” like small markers that remind me I’m still moving forward, even on messy or ordinary days.
Once I was ready, I headed to Walmart. The Weetabix was still on sale, so I grabbed six boxes. I also picked up olive oil spray, canola spray, and a silicone steamer basket for my Instant Pot — a small upgrade that will make vegetables easier to handle from now on. On the way out, I bought a $3 Christmas scratch-and-win ticket, scratched it in the car, and… nothing. No win, just a hopeful moment followed by a shrug.
Next up was The Soup Pot on Cliff Avenue. I ordered their Mulligatawny soup with a little cheese biscuit. Simple, warm, and one of those meals that hits exactly right on a cool day. I snapped a picture of it resting on my car roof (see photo to the left) — the soup, the scenery, the quiet little pause before the next stop.
After that, I drove over to D’s Café, the tiny place next to the Courtenay Airport. They serve breakfast all day, and today that’s what I wanted. I ordered their big breakfast with a cup of coffee. They don’t take credit cards, but I had just enough cash to cover it. Kind of funny how often $20 bills end up saving the day.
At one point later on, I saw a book sitting on a fence post — just randomly there. I snapped a photo and wondered whether it matched any of the 60 or so “manifestation list” items I’ve been writing daily using the Joseph Alai system. Turns out, it didn’t match anything on my list. And honestly, that moment stirred up a bit of frustration in me. I caught myself thinking, “Is this all BS? If the items are vague enough, of course you’ll always find something that fits.”
That actually turned into a pretty big shift in my mindset today. I decided I don’t want vague manifestations. I want specific ones — things that can’t be rationalized, explained away, or chalked up to coincidence. If this manifestation thing is real, then it should show up in measurable, undeniable ways. And if not, then I’d rather know the truth. So moving forward, I’m switching to concrete items: clear visuals, clear phrases, unlikely but possible hits. No more symbolic, soft-focus stuff.
NVDA reported earnings after the bell — another blowout quarter. It’s interesting how the market can have days like today: nothing special on the surface, yet full of signals.
And that’s how today went. A day spent moving through small tasks, driving across town, eating warm comfort foods, supporting my son, questioning my beliefs, tightening my methods, and ending the night looking at charts and thinking about the future.
Not dramatic. Not flashy. But real — and part of the larger story I’m still unfolding. If anything, it felt like Day #200 didn’t need fireworks. It just needed truth.
And today gave me plenty of that.
