I am finding that the level of coherence I have enjoyed for almost four years is suddenly dropped. Dropped only 30%, but that is enough for me to experience difficulty in thinking, being able to write, to move through life with grace and ease.
If you remember, coherence is the degree to which your inner energies, especially your intellectual energies, thoughts, are music as opposed to cacophony.
Each one has a different level of coherence. Grace and easy and power are only possible when one is reasonably coherent for longer periods of time.
Every upset, every interruption, everything you resist cause incoherence.
My downstairs neighbor, the woman, is at home. Muscletest says: she is sick with the virus. Instead of resting she is banging away in the apartment, and when her beau comes home she whines, shouts, complains, for an hour or two.
Not the environment where I can do my best work. I am putting on the headsets now and start listening to the Big Bundle… let’s see if it straightens out the tangled web in my brain.
Wow, I can even feel the tangles… it will take a while…
So, what did I want to write about today?
I just listened and commented on a partner call where both participants were gabby. One mostly with sound, the other mostly inside: inaudible. And possibly they switch back and forth, depending on the environment. Gabby with other people, self-talk with other people.
I can see clearly what they do on the Partner calls.
No matter whether you do it inside or outside, the gabbing, chatting, complaining, justifying, threatening, whatever your poison, you cause incoherence and muddy water, so you can’t see what is really going on. So you cannot see what belongs to you and what is happenstance. Circumstance. Irrelevant.
OK, the Big Bundle is working… How do I know? I am having coherent thoughts.
I am still not writing… but it seems that until I clean up, digest, consider what is already there… about the book I read last night, about the virus, about the neighbor, about my students, no new writing can be done effectively.
It actually takes a lot of time… but “you have to pay the piper“… that is a principle… by the way.
Even computers spend a good deal of their capacity on maintenance… on removing, completing, dropping stuff… The secret is to allow the system to rejuvenate itself, to make it coherent again.
When you talk, incessantly, you prevent that from happening.
Whip out your headphones, the sport headphones are perfect for this, and play the Big Bundle to help your brain rejuvenate itself. To calm you down. To reboot your system.
If you have the big bundle already, and need a sport headset with the chip and the audio file…
