V814 Adjustment Pains When Achieving Affirmation Campaign Goals

Overview

This video discusses adjustment pains experienced when working towards affirmation campaign goals. It differentiates between major changes that force a course correction and adaptive changes associated with "fixturing" or solidifying desired outcomes.

The speaker explains that goals exist on multiple planes (causal, ethroplane, etc.) and manifest in layers, comparing a goal to a slushy snowball with a hard ice center (the tangible goal) surrounded by softer layers. As one progresses towards the goal, they pierce through these outer layers, experiencing related manifestations.

These manifestations can present as signs or experiences related to the goal, such as seeing a billboard featuring a desired porch or encountering someone with a similar garage. Engaging with these manifestations reinforces the goal but can also trigger "adjustment discomfort," like a toaster breaking, representing minor inconveniences as the goal solidifies.

The speaker emphasizes that experiencing negative events often signifies that positive change is imminent, noting a "balanced magnitude" principle. A real-life example is shared about having to ignore a suffering kitten due to current life constraints and responsibilities.

The video introduces the concept of "A/B switches," representing moments requiring decisive action. These are unexpected events that manifest and require a choice to be made, determining on which path one will proceed. In these cases, one must balance general helpfulness with overriding life purposes and responsibilities.

The speaker concludes by stressing the importance of awareness during these transitional periods, and that while progress isn't always linear, and while the path towards the goal may present unexpected challenges requiring difficult choices, remaining true to one's overall purpose is essential. The video encourages viewers not to be discouraged by these adjustment pains, but to recognize them as signs of progress.

The video introduces the concept of "affirmation campaigns" and distinguishes between "adjustment changes" and "mega changes" that occur during such campaigns. The speaker clarifies that the video will focus on adaptive changes, which are associated with fixing or adjusting things you want, rather than drastic course corrections. An analogy of a mechanic tightening bolts after installing an engine is used to illustrate adaptive changes.

Adaptive changes are further explained using the example of wanting a Bugatti sports car but receiving a scale model instead. This illustrates how initial manifestations of goals may not be exactly as expected, representing echoes or outer layers of the desired outcome. The speaker introduces the esoteric concept of multiple bodies or selves associated with consciousness, including higher selves like Manta GP and Mantic Prime, suggesting that goals also have various "bodies" or layers.

04:41 - 07:34

The speaker elaborates on the concept of goals having multiple layers, comparing it to a house in the mountains with specific features. As one nears a goal, they start piercing through these outer shells, which may manifest as related signs or experiences in daily life, such as seeing a billboard with a nice porch. Experiencing these manifestations leads to "lockdown events" and resulting changes, indicating progress toward the goal.

07:34 - 09:41

The speaker discusses "adjustment discomfort," which arises as one progresses through the outer layers of their goals. This discomfort is not always predictable but signals that one is on the right track. The speaker uses the analogy of a slushy snowball to represent a goal, with the hard ice inside being the tangible goal and the outer layers representing different levels of manifestation. Experiencing these outer levels can lead to minor discomforts.

09:41 - 12:58

The speaker emphasizes the importance of being aware of these adaptive changes and not getting overly upset by them. They reiterate that vocalizing affirmations will lead to results, but timing depends on how far out the goals are and may require personality changes. A goal is described as a "shaped thought" with various bodies, and experiencing the outer layers of this thought form will bring consequences, both positive and potentially less desirable.

12:58 - 15:33

The speaker encourages viewers to remember that negative experiences often precede positive outcomes, emphasizing a balanced magnitude. They caution against malevolent or selfish actions, which can cause problems. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about encountering a distressed kitten and having to override their natural inclination to help due to current circumstances, illustrating the difficult "A/B switches" one faces when pursuing goals.

15:33 - 21:01

Continuing the story of the kitten, the speaker describes the internal conflict of wanting to help but being unable to due to practical constraints. They emphasize that desires cause manifestations, and sometimes one must make a "determinative action" that goes against their natural inclinations. The speaker concludes by explaining that as one gets closer to their goals, these "A/B switches" become more pronounced, requiring one to be true to their overriding purposes while still being helpful to others when possible.
