- ✅ #06: ☕ Over AM Coffee, say Terje’s Script! (*** NOTES ***) (4:36 pm!)
- #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 seemed to have a bit of a theme running through it: things quietly becoming something else. That certainly applies to the apple tree outside our house.
I’ve been taking pictures and little videos of that tree since April, although I never really set out to document it. Back on April 8 it was mostly branches with the first hints of spring. Eleven days later there was more life, and by May it was green and full. Then apparently I forgot about photographing it for more than two months. When I came back to it in July, there were apples. By August, there were lots of apples.
Today I finally turned all of that into a video called “I Watched an Apple Tree Become.” It came out at a little over four minutes, and I really like it. What began as a collection of random pictures and videos of the tree outside our house somehow became a little story about how most change happens when nobody is paying attention. We notice the apple when it’s hanging on the branch. We don’t necessarily notice all the days that created it.
I also worked through the YouTube metadata and thumbnails today. The one word I settled on for this video was “Unfolding,” which seems just about perfect. We came up with several thumbnail ideas, including one rather dramatic version where the seasons seem to peel back like a page, revealing the apples underneath. Not bad for a tree standing outside the house minding its own business.
I also made it out to Walmart today (see photo to the right). I even came home with photographic evidence of one of my fellow Walmart shoppers. I’m not going to attempt to explain the picture. Sometimes documenting life means photographing an apple tree for four months, and sometimes it means taking a picture at Walmart. Apparently both belong in the historical record.
There was also some lottery action today. No retirement plans were altered as a result, but I continue to enjoy throwing my hat into the ring now and then. You never know.
Minecraft became considerably more interesting today too. After installing and playing Minecraft for the first time yesterday, today I created a new Minecraft: Java Edition world. I created it in Survival mode because I don’t want to simply wander around Minecraft with unlimited supplies. That means starting with practically nothing, gathering resources, finding food, building a shelter, crafting tools, eventually making weapons and armour, surviving whatever Minecraft decides to throw at me and somehow becoming capable enough to reach the End. Assuming I don’t get killed by something ridiculous first.
Even better, I worked out how the kids should eventually be able to join this world from their own computers. The plan is pretty simple. I’ll open the world on my computer and make it available over our local network. As long as the kids are connected to the same Wi-Fi, using their own accounts and running the same version of Minecraft: Java Edition, they should be able to find it under Multiplayer and join me. Their characters, possessions and progress will remain stored in my copy of the world, although they’ll only be able to play while I have it open.
I rather like the idea of this becoming a family adventure. Dad is a senior, has only just discovered Minecraft, and has apparently decided he is going to kill the Ender Dragon. What could possibly go wrong?
I continued my Becoming work today as well. I put in 72 minutes, beating my 60-minute target and extending the streak to 78 days. I’m now at 129.33 hours invested in this whole Becoming experiment.
I worked on my Universal Planner today, recorded my weight and continued the daily routines I’ve been trying to make part of my life. The AI Diet was on the agenda, as were my vitamins and getting my gallon of water in. I also spent some time with my Ultimate Manifestation Letter and Terje’s approach to talking with the Universe: say hello, be honest about what I’m actually feeling, treat the Universe as a companion, talk about what’s happening in my life, ask for help, release the request and then notice what comes back. That’s increasingly the part I like. Ask, then go live and see what happens.
Most days don’t feel transformational while I’m living them. They’re just Saturdays. Perhaps that’s what “Unfolding” really means. You don’t always recognize the becoming while it’s happening.
