What sort of metacognition skills has everyone been working on? If you need some ideas, I know of a great book to refer :)

A little behind-the-scenes from how we’re building Origin Point right now: we’re keeping this private by invite for a reason. The aim is not to make noise or gather more people for the sake of it, but to build the right ecosystem- one that can truly hold and carry the work forward with care, precision, and intention. At the moment that means looking closely at sleep clinics, EEG and neurotech companies, biotech and health-tech partners, and a few space-adjacent companies and people who can bring real leverage beyond money: credibility, hardware, access, expertise, and network reach. The sponsorship side is meant to be strategic, not transactional. Vanessa made a point that I think is exactly right: we need to keep the work rooted in real-world problems first- sleep, regulation, cognitive performance, and the deeper human needs underneath them - and let that be the bridge into space. That keeps the program grounded, fundable, and relevant, while still honoring the longer arc of where this is all meant to go. That balance feels important to me: private, intentional, and selective on one side; practical, useful, and deeply human on the other. We want the right people in the ecosystem, not just more people. I’m honored not only by the curiosity surrounding the work and its theories, but by the opportunity to help build a beautiful and powerful ecosystem that nurtures the work and brings out its fullest potential.

Painting an image of scenery at home. I splatter colors of dark blues, black and bright shots of color across the page. I add a little imagination, meditation, and insight. As the colors mix together, so does life as it warps around me. Deep down, I know where I am, as I leave myself to explore the possibilities of the mind. I wonder around the colors of time and space, watching the movement all around. I see myself standing still, absorbing and watching it all. Wondering, listening, and knowing, I snap back to my own. As I look around, I see the picture I painted, a face of reality that had yet not existed. Magical colors in the air, the movements of smells and sounds, life around will always be something to explore and the want to be more. But until now, I will always explore the moments in between until the reality is truly adored.

"Under general anesthesia, the conscious mind shuts off—or so we have long thought. But a new study of people in this state suggests the anesthetized brain still picks up sounds, words and even conversations." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-brain-processes-overheard-words-under-anesthesia-but-it-may-not-remember-them/

There’s a moment in this work where something shifts. What you’re seeing internally stops feeling like imagination… and starts behaving like something real. Consistent. Responsive. Interactive. That’s where this gets interesting. Because science is beginning to show that the brain doesn’t just operate electrically- it also emits light. Biophotons. Measurable. Present during neural activity. Not metaphor. So the question becomes: What happens when what you’re experiencing internally… actually corresponds to something happening biologically? ---- Here’s a piece from The Way of the Insane: The subconscious doesn’t just “make things up.” It translates what the conscious mind doesn’t yet know how to read. And when you stop trying to control it, and start learning its language, you begin to access something else entirely: An interface. Not metaphorically. Functionally. A way of interacting with the layers of your system that operate below conscious thought- where patterns form, where energy organizes, where your biology is constantly communicating in signals most people were never taught to perceive. When I connected with that light, not observed it, but actually connected with it- something shifted. It responded. The system responded. ---- And what I started to understand is this: You are not just thinking your way through life. You are interfacing with it. This is where the work starts to become real. Not just thinking about it, but actually noticing how your system communicates… and learning how to meet it there. Curious who’s been sitting with this or trying the practices- what have you noticed so far? The Way of the Insane is available in the classroom now.
