- #1) Hello – Begin by acknowledging them out loud. Simply say “Hello Universe” and open the conversation. The goal is not perfection or certainty, but connection. Say “THANK YOU” for everything and be SPECIFIC about manifestations!
- #2) Honesty – Speak truthfully about what you actually feel — fear, loneliness, frustration, gratitude, confusion, hope, excitement, doubt, or exhaustion. Don’t perform spirituality. Just be real.
- #3) Companionship – Treat them like companions walking beside you. Share little moments throughout the day: things you notice, appreciate, wonder about, or find beautiful or funny. Build relationship, not just requests.
- #4) Meetings – Take a few moments each day to talk through your life with them — what’s ahead today, what you’re worried about, what you want, where you feel stuck, and where you’d appreciate support or clarity.
- #5) Asking – Ask first for emotional relief and inner calm, then ask for solutions, guidance, pop-ins, signs, opportunities, ideas, or small favors. Ask openly without demanding exact outcomes or trying to control how the answer arrives.
- #6) Releasing – After asking, stop forcing. Go live your life. Walk, drive, work, brainstorm out loud, drink coffee, move through ordinary moments, and allow ideas or clarity to arise naturally instead of mentally gripping for answers.
- #7) Noticing – Pay attention to what returns — sudden ideas, emotional shifts, coincidences, synchronicities, timing, relief, unexpected opportunities, little “winks,” or moments that feel quietly meaningful. Then continue the conversation and relationship over time.

📋Additional Daily Notes
Today felt like one of those quiet days that may turn out to be more important than it looked at the time.
The biggest event of the day was the official start of AI Diet v1.04. After weeks of tweaking ideas, borrowing concepts from Andrew Taylor’s Spud Fit experiment, and trying to simplify my approach to food, today was Day One. The plan is intentionally simple: drink a gallon of water each day, enhanced with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Himalayan salt, and iodized salt, then build meals around potatoes, sweet potatoes, egg whites, vegetables, and a small collection of low-calorie condiments and seasonings.
My first meal was a colorful plate of regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, egg whites, beets, pickles, tomato sauce, mustard, hot sauce, spices, and nutritional yeast (see photo to the right). It struck me that it didn’t really feel like “diet food.” It felt like real food. Filling food. The kind of meal that doesn’t require calorie counting, complicated recipes, or endless decision-making. One of the themes I kept returning to throughout the day was something I heard recently: if you only ate food you prepared yourself, chances are you wouldn’t be overweight. There is something powerful about reducing the noise and complexity around eating.
The day also took a more reflective turn. My daughter’s recent autism and ADHD diagnosis has been on my mind. Oddly enough, I realized that I was the one having the crash. Looking back over 66 years, I can suddenly see so many struggles through a different lens: school, university, friendships, work, relationships, and the constant feeling that life seemed harder than it should have been. There is grief in that realization because there are no do-overs. I can’t go back and choose a different path. The past is fixed.
Yet as I sat with those thoughts, another idea emerged. What if this low point is not an ending but a beginning? Rhonda Byrne has often talked about how The Secret arrived during one of the darkest periods of her life. Perhaps major ideas sometimes emerge from major questions. Today I found myself wondering whether all the great spiritual, philosophical, religious, and manifestation traditions are actually pointing toward the same underlying truths. Christianity, Buddhism, Neville Goddard, Abraham Hicks, Bashar, Stoicism, positive psychology, meditation, neuroscience, the Quran, the Talmud, Confucianism—different languages, different stories, but perhaps the same core ideas underneath.
I watched some of the Amazon Prime show “Fallout” on this, day #1 of v1.04!
As the day went on, a possible book began taking shape. Not another manifestation book. Not another religious book. A book about the common threads. A book that asks what all these teachers, traditions, and philosophies agree on. The more I thought about it, the more obvious the overlap seemed. Attention shapes reality. Identity comes before results. Resistance creates suffering. Gratitude changes perception. Action still matters. Love expands while fear contracts. And perhaps most importantly, nobody really knows exactly what’s going on. Different maps. Same territory.
Out of those ideas came a simple daily practice: remember who you are becoming, appreciate what already exists, imagine the desired end, follow what feels most alive, take one meaningful action, notice the winks, celebrate one win, and imagine tomorrow before sleep. Strip away the jargon, and that might be ninety percent of what all the major wisdom traditions have been trying to teach us.
The afternoon itself was uneventful. I attended the kids’ recital around noon, came home, and ended up taking a long nap. The rest of the day was slow and restful. I didn’t accomplish some of the things I had planned. The dolls didn’t get worked on. There was no burst of productivity. But perhaps that was okay. Not every day needs to be a high-output day.
Maybe today’s purpose was simply to begin.
Day One of AI Diet v1.04 is complete.
A new book idea was born.
And somewhere between a plate of potatoes and a long afternoon nap, I may have stumbled onto a question worth exploring:
What if everybody is pointing at the same moon?
