I listened to this awesome song by Gnarls Barkley today, which got me so pumped, I can hardly understand it… TURN IT UP LOUD and DANCE!
Ok, what a crazy day today. Almost too much to type. This anti-yeast galactic battle mentioned yesterday has grown to epic proportions in the form of ENERGY. I have buzzed about all day long, I meditated on the beach, and developed a new form of sound meditation that I want to try everyday. Meditating in this certain way made my ears feel like tools as useful as my eyes, if neglected sometimes….
You can’t blame them for trying to hide from the roars and growls of the Great Civilized Beast (sounds sometimes thought of as “traffic,” “construction,” “industry,” and whatever other forms the growls of the Beast happen to take…
I realized something, while sitting on the beach today, after doing a yoga routine, meditating and running along the path I described before. What I discovered is that I have complained about living here in a suburb-like city for the past few weeks. I kept thinking that I had let wildness escape from me.
Not true. 1. wildness hides in plain site EVERYWHERE.
2. Mother Ocean lives so near me that I can feel her breeze and fog every single day and night. Here, we breathe wildness.
So I decided that I want to run and meditate and do yoga on the beach daily. Sometimes I will bike there too, and add swimming to it. Can anyone say, “Garrett’s first triathlon?”
But, what adventure did I have, what challenge did I undertake?
Well, this first one I will describe will not be the real one. The real one I will mention in a moment.
First, one of my housemates woke me up today at 11:23 to ask for a ride to work. I got up, after a long night of study last night, and decided yeah, I would take him to work. That way, I could go to the beach, and use all the extra time I may have slept away. What a blessing!
So I dropped him off and had to shit, so I looked for a suitable place to do so. I saw a cafe I had gone to before, and decided to drive there. On the way, I had to drive past a place called “Mozy’s” twice. The second time, I felt so compelled to go there that I turned around again and drove back to it.
Once inside, I nearly departed again, until I turned and saw that they served all organic food and coffee. Strange, I had the a thought like Indiana jones picking the correct grail when I decided upon which coffee I would like. On one end sat a container of decaf organic coffee from Cascadia, my most previous home. On the other end, an organic coffee from the Andes, in Peru, the place I want to travel to next, and potential home for the AIP (ask me later!).
I had my choice before me: do I choose the past, Cascadia, decaf (running out of steam?); or, do I choose the future, Peru, caffeinated and ready to Rock way up in the mountains?
I chose Peru.
Then, I had a sudden burst of diarhea. For those of you familiar with Gurdjieff and Ouspensky
Which brings me to an exercises y’all might like. Try gaggin yourself. Not to puke, no. Just gag to loosen up the tension in the diaphragm, and get things moving inside the body and mind. Its ok if you do puke, but try it first with just water on an empty stomach. Ask me for details! 
Puke and Shit, what an awesome combination!
Ok, so back to the day. Everything I have been studying and aspiring toward over the past 4 years or so came slamming together, connecting all at once, settling like sedimentary rock into the forefront of my brain. All the disconnected ideas, goals, aspirations, desires, everything came slamming into clear view. It became increasingly obvious that I had fallen into something like Indra’s Net
That leads me to the challenge of the day, the suicide of another false self…
Today’s challenge is that I will complete the first of my workshops: Workshop 0: Creative Deconstruction: Ground Zero. This one leads into the rest of them, and also gives a taste of what it is like to work with me personally, something that is becoming a lot more rare and difficult for people to do. I am going to finish the rough draft of the workshop tonight, and post it here online, and in a few other places online, for only 24 hours. During that time, you may download it to keep, you can also send it out to other people, provided you do not change anything in it. It will include a survey you can email back to me.
So, the false self I am killing off today is the one who puts things off into infinite tomorrows. Gurdjieff called Tomorrow an Evil God. Leave me a comment if you know what he meant by that.
Tonight, before I go to sleep, no matter how long it takes, I am going to post a rough draft of Workshop 0 for all of you to see.
Also, today, I set a date for the first workshop at the spa where I do massage: Spa Samudra. This first workshop will cost $93, and is limited to only 11 people. If there is enough demand, I may set up another few sessions, doing up to 4 at a time, with each being limited to 11. Others will have to work directly with me, if there is time, and enough value involved.
So, the date is set: Sunday, October 26th at 1:23pm at Spa Samudra. That day, Oct. 26, at 1:11am, I will be posting the workshop as a final draft pdf available for free download for 24 hours only. After that, the workshop will be available for sale for $93, with enhancements available like ebooks, audio downloads, and private youtube videos that expand upon the material in the pdf. So, get it while it’s hot. Mark your calendar, and if you live anywhere near Carlsbad, CA, leave me a comment here, or write me at escapeplans@gmail.com to get signed up right away.
I do take paypal as well, so you can pay in any way you would like.
Spots are filling up fast, and remember, I am allowing ONLY 11 earnest individuals. Everyone else WILL be turned away.
All right folks, look for my next blog posting tonight. It will either be a comment on this post, OR another post entirely. I will include a picture of me at the time of completing it. I will also post a brochure, if I get that done tonight as well.
It’s 9:33 now, and I am going to eat, meditate, and get started. I had in mind to do an energized meditation tonight as well, but I think that will wait until tomorrow, tonight, it’s time to ROCK.
Oh yeah, I forgot to explain the rest of the day. Later on, my girlfriend and I went out for provisions for our new yeast-battling diet (see yesterday’s post, suicide #1), and we ran into a guy at the store who talked with us about the wonders of young coconuts. Of course, we discovered that coconut oil kills yeast ruthlessly, so we chatted for awhile, and then he mentioned that there is a raw foods place behind…….MOZY’S…….I had never been into Mozy’s until today!
Then, we went to buy some organic meats from the deli. Remember, the FDA are all agents of the Yeast. Do not trust them! The meat department guy had a nametag that said “Uriel.” I asked him if he shared a name with the angel, Uriel, angel of Earth, in most kabbalistic lore, as well as Agrippa, sometimes, (ask me more!). This blew my mind. Getting served fresh, grass-fed, free range, organic meat by the angel of the element of earth. There are more strange connections I could mention, but this is a blog, not a book. Ha!
See you all later on tonight. Don’t miss out on your chance to get the first installment of Creative Deconstruction: Ground Zero. If you complete the course and return the survey, you may even find yourself getting mentioned in the international release once it goes live. Who knows?
Love, wildness, joy!
-Garrett: Escape Artist Extraordinaire.
PS: Oh yeah, since you made it this far, I wanted to mention something. I thought that I had just about destroyed all of my false selves. Yep, I imagined that I was Mr. Enlightenment…Until I read these books. They simply blew my mind out of it’s tiny little shell. There is a whole world of infinite possibility out there.
A secret for all who made it this far: The gloom and doom of the current news broadcasts are nothing but ploys to get you to join a battle that doesn’t even exist. The secret: IF YOU become an expert, a master, at creating VALUE, then it does not matter at all if there is an election, an economy or a collapse. YOU will always win, IF you turn yourself into a VALUE-CREATION-MASTER.
Good Luck!
