gwax's rumblings

Today, shortly after spend­ing ten or twenty min­utes fol­low­ing a sea tur­tle and lis­ten­ing to another thirty min­utes of the Heretics of Dune audio­book, I found mirac­u­lously that my per­sonal stress lev­els had reached zero. This stress level turns out, as one might sus­pect, to be wholely pleasant.

I am inclined to sus­pect that this state is not dri­ven purely by the vaca­tion; the Dune books tend to put me in a par­tic­u­lar philosophical/spiritual state. In this case, I blame the com­bi­na­tion; that is, I sus­pect that some trig­ger was pushed whilst I was in a recep­tive state.

There exist other aspects to my cur­rent state, which extend beyond a lack of stress to a calm clar­ity. This clar­ity and calm may well be of greater import to me than the pleas­ant lack of stress. The ques­tion that I find arises for me now is, how can I make myself recep­tive and inten­tion­ally self-trigger; this will, hope­fully, serve as a con­tin­ued avenue of self-inquiry in the future.
