(I'm shifting my style for this to short and punchy because my nature is to go on tangents. I'm shooting for clear and concise sections. I asked ChatGPT to help form a structure so I can fill in the blanks and find hidden angles that help it become fully coherent.) - Would love to know if anything specifically resonates for you? - How does this feel as an intro section? Preface: An Invitation, Not an Explanation This book does not ask you to believe anything. It asks you to notice. Most people come to emotional work because something hurts. That is understandable. But pain is not the enemy here. Stuckness is. You are not reading this to eliminate emotions. You are reading this to understand why some of them refuse to leave. This system treats emotions as forces rather than flaws. Not obstacles to overcome. Not puzzles to solve. But motions that want to be completed. You do not need to be calm to begin. You do not need insight. You do not need discipline. You only need enough curiosity to ask: “What is happening in me right now, and what is it trying to do?” If you can ask that honestly, the system will meet you halfway. Nothing in this book requires perfection. Only participation. The Law of Motion Every emotion enters the system to move. To inform. To act. To resolve. When an emotion is allowed to complete its motion, it returns to rest. When it is interrupted, denied, rushed, or frozen, it does not disappear. It stalls. Stalled emotions do not rest. They loop. Motion Is the Natural State Emotions are transient by design. They rise, crest, and fall like breath. Fear prepares. Anger protects. Grief honors. Desire orients. Joy refreshes. Hope steadies. Gratitude grounds. None of these were meant to become permanent residents. When an emotion becomes chronic, something has interrupted its motion. What Stops Motion Motion is interrupted when: - An emotion is judged as unacceptable - Expression is unsafe - Action is forbidden - Meaning is imposed too early

If you had the magical ability to summon ONE emotion in other people, which would it be? It's kinda funky because that by itself sounds like a super-power, doesn't it? But that's actually just a normal thing we can do. Depending how intentional and dedicated you are to the craft. I'm diving deeper and deeper into emotions as a magic system. Seeing our life in a more whimsical and skill-nurturing sort of system, I've blasted open my own mind a few times in the last month. My answer is firstly 'Gratitude' of course. Then courage and curiosity would follow....I'm dedicating my life to summoning that in other's already. But there are many ways for me to approach that: - Storytelling - Guiding questions - Expressing it - Challenges - Making it the source of why/how i act in the world and see what results that produces for my life - Guilting and Shaming - Appropriating fear - Can you think of any others? Some methods are more ethical, fun, or artistic than others. But they all work, don't they? How do you summon the primary emotion you wish to provoke in others in your life? Bonus points if you can share what sort of wizard/character may embody your emotion.

What is abundance to you may be different to you than for me. Since ProSpirit regards the prosperity of the human spirit, what does 'Wealthy' mean to you? I can focus on all sorts of aspects depending on greatest curiosity and communal interest. What you consider richness depends on what you chase in this life. I decided to challenge myself with minimalism and not own anything more than what fits in a huge backpack, a duffle bag and my van. It redefined what felt 'essential' in my life. Along the road of this amazing adventure through New Zealand, i reflected the only thing i crave more often was quality companionship to enrich an already good life. I played by an extreme budget to stretch out for months on the road, so I only ate for fuel, not for lavish flavour. I chose what sacrifices made for an optimal experience. I was genuinely enriched by being able to nurture this community, these friendships and watch you all interact and support one another. I may have been physically alone, but in spirit, I felt connect. How cool is that?! What is 'Wealth' to you?

I'm not much of a new years resolutions guy, but I do like to the collective prolonged meditation on how bizarre and plot-twisty time has been for us. 365 days feels rather arbitrary if you were new to earth and didn't know that was a 'year.' And especially being in a different country with different seasons, it feels altogether irrelevant. It's another day, another opportunity. Simple. Are you inspired by your own goals or not? Are you optimally running from your anti-vision and drawn towards your ideal life at the same time? Are you being silly because you CAN!? My one small tweak of mind aside from 'How can I be courageous?' Is 'How can i rip the bandaid off?' Sometimes we can still dance around something, but if there was a 1-5second way to deliver what I could try to delicately do in 5 minutes... how different would i sound? How much more clear would i be? It may be at the cost of gentleness to be significantly more blunt, but anybody who knows my character, values and way i appreciate them will already know the bluntness is to value and deepen connection. It's also opposing my perfectionism. So many of my crafts - writing, music, is slow, diligent tweaks. But imperfect and unapologetic raw expression has its merit as well. A season of momentum. Small, relentless steps forward. Even if i am literally blind. I am dragging forward to see into the fog in the direction I deem to be worth discovering. What momentum do you want to build or sustain? What one sentence or value navigates how you move in the world??
