Character, Destiny and Adaptation
I was reading a book on writing and the patterns of the basic plots they have endured throughout the recorded history of stortelling and I was thinking that a lot of them depend on the level of development of the characters. Especially in the plots of revenge like Medea and Fortunado went to extremes because they were consumed by an obsession for revenge, it was those flaws of extremes in their personalties that influenced their destinies.
But what if they had been able to adapt to the flaws in their characters? Wouldn't that have changed their destiny? By evolving to a more inclusive center of gravity that would change their reactions to circumstances they experienced and altered the course they chose to avoid those extremes of obsession that lead to the extravagant methods of revenge.
If they had done some breathing excercizes as part of a full time yoga practice then they might have found other ways to deal with the situations they were in that were better than killing her children or emtombing someone inside a brick wall.
Including state training in the plots of stories can also show how the characters adapt to the expanding of identity and tell the story from perspective of the ladder which desribes the different levels of development of consciousness, the climber which describes the stages of the personality and the worldview.
For example the plot of the story could include a character arc that show someone starting at the sensoriphysical stage of the 1st Fulcrum with mostly survival and pleasure needs of naive hedonism and go through situations that make them adapt and evolve their destiny to go the vision logic stage of the 6th Fulcrum with self-actualization needs of individual principles.
If the Emotive interactive interface was added to the telling of the story then it could adapt to the mood of the audience and through state training what they identified with could evolve as the characters met the challenges in a more inclusive way from higher developmental levels.
Also in stage training the Emotive interface could assist in the evolution of the growth through each fulcrum since it can interact with the stories and show different outcomes of the phases of each fulcrum to reflect those outcomes as different effects on the stories. A fulcrum is simply a crucial fork in the development road and the self has to deal with the choices at that fork. How it does so in each case decides its subsequent destiny. The self must step up to each rung in the basic ladder and that step is the fulcrum at that stage.
At each rung in the ladder of the self's growth and development, it has four basic choices about which way to go in its development. Too much or too little of any of these four drives and the self gets into pathological trouble and the types of pathology depend on which of the nine basic rungs the trouble occurs at.
1. self-preservation (agency)
2. self-adaptation (communion)
3. self-transcendence
4. self-dissolution
So that gives different reactions depending on the mixture of the four drives at any fulcrum to show the changes in the characters and the effects of those different mixtures have on the plot of the stories. Every fulcrum has a 1-2-3 structure. 1 is that the self evolves, developes or steps up to the new level of awareness and it identifies with that level becoming "one" with that level. 2 is that it then begins to move beyond that level, differentiate from it, dis-indentify with it or "transcend" it. And 3 is that it indentifies with the next higher level then centers itself there. The new rung is acutally resting on the previous rungs so they must be included and integrated into the overall expansion. That integration or inclusion is the third and final subphase of that particular fulcrum.
Fulcrum 1: Introduction of the physiosphere
Phase 1=self identified with the physical world or fixation causing adualism through lack of body boundary
Phase 2=Differentiates body with other objects or fails to establish a clean and clear boundary.
Phase 3=Integrates the physical self or alienates, dissociates and represses parts of the self.
Fulcrum 2: Introduction of the biosphere
Phase 1=emotions identified with those around them or is fixated in narcissism.
Phase 2=differentiates emotions from others or lacks a sense of cohesive self.
Phase 3=integrates the emotional self or alienates and represses parts of them.
Fulcrum 3: Introduction of the noosphere and linguistics
Phase 1=the self identifies with images, symbols and concepts or fusion with the labile emotional self
Phase 2= differentiates the mind and the ego from bodily feelings or dissociates impulses into nuerosis
Phase 3= integrates the body or represses strong emotions into mental structures such as the superego

Filling out the theme of the treasure hunt DVD
The best way to get people interested in the Hunt DVD is to use the theme of a quest like in Dungeon and Dragons and get them involved in the story to follow along while solving puzzles and gathering items they need. I can have a silver robot as a representative of the Game Master call for help to find the chakra jewels, but I need some motivations to get people invested in participating. I can tie in some of the background of The Writer’s Nightmare but it has to be adapted to fit in with the quest in the DVD so it needs some fresh goals.
The motivation should probably come from a developmental sequence like a rescue of someone like the damsel in distress or restoring artifacts to rightful places like Indiana Jones, saving the cosmos from danger like in Tomb Raider. The Illuminati always make great villains so thwarting their evil schemes would be a good incentive to take on the challenge. If it was something like preventing them from gathering objects to dominate the world like the boxes of Orden in the Legend of the Seeker that would be exciting to follow. I liked the way the plot for the National Treasure movies went with all the clues to advance the search so I should include a lot of that in there.
Then I need reasons that the chakras and the tarot fit together with the plot of the Illuminati plan of domination and why the jewels were hidden the way they were. I could have the jewels form a dimensional gateway and time portal when put together since they have the piezoelectric effect of photonic crystals that emit Čerenkov radiation. That would be why the Illuminati are after them since they would want access to the means of traveling with them. There is a rich history behind the tarot that I can use as a framework since it has a lot of symbolism and hidden meanings and I can use those symbols as the holders of the jewels they need to gather.
Crown Chakra Wheel of Fortune
Third Eye The Star, The Moon
Throat Chakra The Magician
Heart Chakra Justice, Temperance
Solar Plexus Chakra The Sun
Sacral Plexus Chakra The Empress
Root Chakra Death
The flag of Death, the scepter of the Empress, the sunflowers of the Sun, the sword of Justice, the wand of the Magician, the jugs of the Star are all put together in the Wheel of Fortune to open the portal.
Because the charkas represent energy the Illuminati would covet that energy to fuel their takeover bid and the clues to harnessing that energy could be hidden in the Tarot cards. Those clues could lead to the locations of the keys that unlock the secrets of where the jewels are to give them the power they crave.
It makes a good sequel to The Writer’s Nightmare since the Illuminati failed to get the gyrotwister so they found another way to get access to the Omniverse and all the other dimensions in order to carry out their plans to immanentize the eschaton and achieve total domination from it.

In the DVD I could have clues related to the Tarot cards and the chakras with links to merchandise on Café Press that had images of those tarot cards with only one of them being the correct item that had both meaningful code words that followed the plot in the description so unless they bought that item among all the others on that page they wouldn’t get the coordinates for the place on the Universe Cube for the next clues to advance for the key.
On the other items I would only have one or the other code to make it harder to find the correct item. That makes it more challenging since the puzzles on the DVD will give codes that relate both to the symbolism of the Tarot cards and finding the right merchandise. Then the coordinates on the merchandise will fit in with the plot of thwarting the goals of the Illuminati and giving the clues to the locations of the keys by showing different stories in the plot summary and places on the Universe Cube. Plus giving the background embedding some of those clues in the comic book and DVD of the Nightmare.
I can also use the symbolism of relating the charkas to astrology, yoga and the glands in the body to give meaning to the clues. For example I can have the coordinates on one of the items of merchandise point to the story about Argon and Cyan meeting personifications of the signs of the Zodiac.
Aries is associated with the Manipura, or solar chakra. Located right under the ribs and traditionally visualized as being yellow, the solar chakra is the center of self-confidence, power and charisma. If those qualities sound familiar to the charming Ram, it's no surprise!
Sexy Taurus is all about the Swadisthana, or sexual chakra, which has to do with sociability and, of course, sexuality. Colored orange and located just behind the pelvic bone, this chakra helps make the Bull particularly good at the fine art of seduction.
Muladhara, or the root chakra, is Gemini's special spot. Located at the perineum, near the tailbone, the root chakra is red, and is a center for physical energy, control and stability. The Twins, of course, are always seeking stability.
Cancer's chakra is the Muladhara, the root chakra. This red-colored energy center, located at the perineum, near the tailbone, is all about physical energy, control and stability -- all issues sensitive Cancer is deeply concerned with.
Leo is always one sexy sign, with their fiery spirit and go-get-it attitude. So it's no surprise to anyone who's ever loved a Leo that the Swadisthana, or sexual chakra, is the chakra the Lion is associated with. Colored orange and located just behind the pelvic bone, the Swadisthana is the center for sociability and sexuality
Virgo's chakra is the Manipura, or solar chakra. Located right under the ribs and traditionally visualized as being yellow, the solar chakra is the center of self-confidence, power and charisma -- not too surprising for a grounded, powerful sign like Virgo.
Libra is associated with Anahata, the heart chakra. The center both for the receptivity to and the giving of love, the heart chakra is located at the center of the chest and is thought of as colored green. Balanced Libra is, naturally, deeply concerned with the processes of giving and receiving love.
Visshuda, the throat chakra, is the energy center most strongly associated with Scorpio. Responsible for intuition and contact with other worlds, this deeply mystical spot is colored blue and located at the throat. No wonder passionate Scorpio knows so much, thanks to these intuitive powers.
Sagittarius is all about Ajna, the forehead chakra, which is located, as its name suggests, at the forehead and is deep blue. Ajna, responsible for mental ability, logic, intellectual creativity and memory, helps the Archer with their amazing abilities to synthesize information and ideas
Capricorn's association is with Ajna, the forehead chakra, located at the forehead. A deep blue, color Ajna is the spot where logic, intellectual creativity and memory are centered, and influence Capricorn's strong mental abilities.
Intuitive, other worldly Aquarius is most closely associated with Visshuda, the throat chakra. Responsible for intuition and contact with other worlds, Visshuda is colored blue and located at the throat.
Loving Pisces is most closely bound to Anahata, the heart chakra, responsible both for receptivity to love and to the giving of love. The Fish's energy center is located at the center of the chest and is colored green.

Avoiding the recursive loop in patterns of behavior
I’m wondering if there is a recursive loop in a pattern of behavior starting in a different form. I burnt my arm from boiling water with spaghetti with some second degree burns and I got some déjà vu all over again since it reminded me of the burn I got from scalding hot spaghetti about this same time last year.
The more I thought about it, the signs seem to be pointing to a repeated pattern since I was feeling pretty good from January to April last year with the potential of the job at MP3D making my prospects look up then around the time I got that burn it seemed to send me into a downward spiral of suicidal depression in May that I didn’t pull out of until last November.
This year I had the lot less of the potential of the Affirmations DVD but it still was a sign that things were looking up and I got the burn again so I’m thinking that I better take some steps to avoid that downward spiral from happening again since I certainly do not want to go through that hellish nightmare this year.
I also had that idea for the treasure hunt DVD last year at this time but since I had too much pain from the headaches and no energy to put into trying to work out the creative details I put it off until I could troubleshoot the problems and find some solutions.
The Integral Troubleshooting I did last July did seem to work out since I am in much better shape this year and have better methods to make more progress and focus on achieving my goals that have been clarified from the confusion of alternatives I had last year.
I am making a lot more progress on the creative details of the treasure hunt DVD that I think I'll call "The Hunt for the Chakra Jewels" and I have a lot of the story to go with the challenge of gathering the items for the prizes.
I can tie in some of the background of "The Writer’s Nightmare" but it has to be adapted to fit in with the quest in the DVD so it needs some fresh goals. If it was something like preventing them from gathering objects to dominate the world. Then I need reasons that the chakras and the tarot fit together with the plot of the Illuminati plan of domination and why the jewels were hidden the way they were. I could have the jewels form a dimensional gateway and time portal when put together since they have the piezoelectric effect of photonic crystals that emit Čerenkov radiation. That would be why the Illuminati are after them since they would want access to the means of traveling with them.
Because the charkas represent energy the Illuminati would covet that energy to fuel their takeover bid and the clues to harnessing that energy could be hidden in the Tarot cards. Those clues could lead to the locations of the keys that unlock the secrets of where the jewels are to give them the power they crave.

So maybe I'm getting better at recognizing the signs of the recursive loop since last time it took me 3 times to see the pattern of worldlines repeating when I had that dream before I went to Toronto and then I only remembered scattered fragments that took a long time to put together to figure out what they meant. But still having to go to the extreme of the pain of getting my armed burned to grab my attention enough to show a pattern is still too much to get me to see the significance so I better keep practicing so I can figure out the patterns more quickly with less damage.

Gathering practices for the video game
To start on gathering the practices I need for the video game I should go into the need for state training and stage training. The practices that help becoming fully aware during waking, dreaming, deep sleep and witnessing like meditation, yoga, lucid dreaming, and astral travel aided by methods like self-hypnosis tapes, subliminal persuasion, float tanks and psychedelic drugs to access the wide range of alternative states of consciousness.
Also practices for stage training like taking on more perspectives like role playing from different characters in each situation and practicing different relative measurements of supposed constants. Like seeing the how the sun sets on different sides from the West Coast over the ocean and from the East Coast over the land. How different cultures experience sexual morality differently, how even gravity is different with different masses, like 1/6 of the moon compared to the earth and 2 times more on Jupiter than the earth. Or even time is relative depending on the speed of the reference frame of the person observing it, like it takes a second and a half to send signals to the moon and it takes years, decades or millennia for the light of the stars to reach earth so the things we see happening took place far in the past.
Part of the role playing could be like taking the perspective you have now and comparing that to what you had at a different point in your life. What you would say to yourself at another time in the past to help with their situation or what you ask of yourself in the future to help with your situation now. It definitely depends a lot on the amount of knowledge, awareness and wisdom available to the person and the perspective they have at the point in time that they are, since it is gained over the course of a life then presumably the farther in the future the more you gain. So if you could go back and impart more to yourself you would have an advantage of having more knowledge and more time to use it.
Some more good practices to help with broadening the range of perspectives you can take is the ones in Robert Anton Wilson’s books “The New Inquisition, Quantum Psychology” and the DVD “Maybe Logic” about different reality tunnels and getting over the either/or duality and insisting on one static view of reality.
I just have to take those kind of practices and turn them into graphic illustrations and game type scenarios to make them come more alive and have greater impact on the people that play the game so they can absorb them more easily to live them as part of their experience.
I like the idea of recurring quests that different characters can try to fulfill and depending on the personality type, stage they are at and what part of the 4 quadrants they are try to do the quest from they could be tailored for that and be different for each part of the quest and they would have experience the quest from more than one stage, quadrant and type to be able to complete it and that would help broaden their perspective. I could also include situations that cover different aspects of the amounts of depth and span to help determine ethical decisions to find the correct path through the quests.

Affirmations beginning to pay off
I uploaded some of the affirmations I was using to YouTube as an example of what animation I put behind them and the text flashing to mimic the subliminal persuasion tapes I used to have.
Then someone named SimoneGervais commented on the video saying "I love love this vidieo it is so creative" and also "I Love your vidieo I will listen to it every day thank you for posting it thanks" which I thought was nice of them and it was gratifying to know that some of my work was appreciated.
Since there seemed to be a demand for that kind of thing, I made anonther one and uploaded it to YouTube. Then I figured since I used a DVD to watch them that it would be a good idea to be able to sell them to others so I sent a message to SimoneGervais telling her "I have found it very helpful to put them on a full length DVD to play so that way the vocal sound of repeating the phrases add with the text of them flashing once a second goes to both the conscious and the subconscious mind at the same time. Then being able to have the animation play behind that keeps other parts of the mind interested visually so that the affirmations can be absorbed more easily.
If you wanted I could make the full length DVD available to you so that you could see all the other animation that I've done to go with the affirmations since it is much to long to just upload." She seemed agree with that idea since she replied, " I would like somthing to help me I am willing to buy the dvd from you just tell me a link I can go by and I would love to purches one" and was pretty enthusiastic about it also saying, "thank you for responding to my message I would I did love the newest vidieo I am saying these things every day trying to get them inside my spirit and I would love a vidieo"
Since I had already done most of the animation for the DVD I was using myself it was easier to finish it up with a more professional DVD menu, cover and disc design.
I told her "I will mail them the DVD master copy on Monday but still takes them at least a week to process it before it is ready so I will send you to link when it is available to buy. It is my pleasure to be able to help and I appreciate it very much that you enjoy what I've put into expressing my art."
It is a good thing that they worked out the bugs in the system and I had gotten used to what the precautions were in making a DVD for them since it took almost 3 months for me to get all the problems with customer service for the Writer's Nightmare to become available for sale on DVD but this one went like clockwork through the mail and production in just a few days. I was impressed that I got the proof copy exactly a week after I mailed it to them and I fulfilled the promise I made to SimoneGervais about when I could provide the DVD to her. It does follow the affirmation I put on the DVD of "I keep my commitments to myself and others" so that seems to be helping with the follow through.I had some more trouble than that to get it to show up on Amazon but it finally straightened itself out, so now it has a wide range of distribution.
I made a commercial to promote the DVD and Uploaded it to YouTube to try and generate more interest in it. Hopefully there will be more of a demand for it than just SimoneGervais and also the DVD can get better word of mouth advertising since she can tell her friends about it and write a good review about it on Amazon. It might get better marketing for my other DVD as well. Every bit helps get the ball rolling.
Like I put in the description of the DVD As with the concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy, if you think something is going to happen then you go about finding ways to make it happen, although this is usually applied to self-destructive behavior it also is true for changing to a positive attitude and having that affect your behavior to make more choices and look for opportunities that lead to positive outcomes. It is helping with my focus and confidence to get things done. The thing that a lot of people misunderstand about affirmations is like what I put in the article on Current TV When someone says something is impossible for them to accomplish then they are correct since they will never even TRY to do it because that negative attitude stops them before they can even imagine a solution or put any effort into trying to find a method to make it work.
That is what affirmations are for to get past that first stumbling block by cancelling out the what holds you back in trying and enforces your limitations.
But it is only the start since all the positive attitudes in the world won't be effective if you don't also put the imagination into action.
I have found that to be true in my own experience and have tried to correct it by letting go of the limits that hold me back from attempting to find solutions.
Selling 3 copies in a week of the DVD being available for sale is twice as good as I expected either SimoneGervais bought all 3 to give some as gifts, she got some friends to buy the other or the advertising I've been doing for it has been working and other people have seen it. Any of those reasons are good news to generate more demand to be able to sell more of them. It does follow the affirmation I put on the DVD "My life becomes a series of successes" so it helps a lot to get feedback and evidence that shows they are working because it re-enforces the belief and gives confidence that you're on the right track to continue. It gives more weigh to the affirmation I put on the DVD "I have the self-discipline to continue the effort." to have some evidence that the affirmations are paying off in a tangible way.
Especially since SimoneGervais did what she said she was going to do and bought the DVD when I waited a year for MarsDarinder to buy The Writer's Nightmare DVD and he never did. His excuse of not having any money to get it wasn't very good since you would think that you could find $25 to spare during a whole year.
So this does give me some substantial proof that the affirmations help to get my life back on a path that will accomplish my goals.

I made a commercial to promote the DVD and Uploaded it to YouTube to try and generate more interest in it. Hopefully there will be more of a demand for it than just SimoneGervais and also the DVD can get better word of mouth advertising since she can tell her friends about it and write a good review about it on Amazon. It might get better marketing for my other DVD as well. Every bit helps get the ball rolling.
Like I put in the description of the DVD As with the concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy, if you think something is going to happen then you go about finding ways to make it happen, although this is usually applied to self-destructive behavior it also is true for changing to a positive attitude and having that affect your behavior to make more choices and look for opportunities that lead to positive outcomes. It is helping with my focus and confidence to get things done. The thing that a lot of people misunderstand about affirmations is like what I put in the article on Current TV When someone says something is impossible for them to accomplish then they are correct since they will never even TRY to do it because that negative attitude stops them before they can even imagine a solution or put any effort into trying to find a method to make it work.
That is what affirmations are for to get past that first stumbling block by cancelling out the what holds you back in trying and enforces your limitations.
But it is only the start since all the positive attitudes in the world won't be effective if you don't also put the imagination into action.
I have found that to be true in my own experience and have tried to correct it by letting go of the limits that hold me back from attempting to find solutions.
Selling 3 copies in a week of the DVD being available for sale is twice as good as I expected either SimoneGervais bought all 3 to give some as gifts, she got some friends to buy the other or the advertising I've been doing for it has been working and other people have seen it. Any of those reasons are good news to generate more demand to be able to sell more of them. It does follow the affirmation I put on the DVD "My life becomes a series of successes" so it helps a lot to get feedback and evidence that shows they are working because it re-enforces the belief and gives confidence that you're on the right track to continue. It gives more weigh to the affirmation I put on the DVD "I have the self-discipline to continue the effort." to have some evidence that the affirmations are paying off in a tangible way.
Especially since SimoneGervais did what she said she was going to do and bought the DVD when I waited a year for MarsDarinder to buy The Writer's Nightmare DVD and he never did. His excuse of not having any money to get it wasn't very good since you would think that you could find $25 to spare during a whole year.
So this does give me some substantial proof that the affirmations help to get my life back on a path that will accomplish my goals.
