Summer School - Week 9
🕑 Added 2023-08-26 13:00:05 +0000 UTCIn August, we're focusing on Programming. Programming implies training, conditioning, and control.
Last week your assignment was to take some time and listen to any files you have of mine where I use a clicker to train you. Try to keep track of how you responded to the clicks you heard, and if possible count them. You were given these questions to consider: does the number of clicks in a file matter? What about their volume? What about the part of the file they're located in or the words they're used in conjunction with?
The week before that your assignment was to imagine ways in which I might use a clicker to program you, and what some of the things I might train you to do would be.
Your first assignment was to think about any ways in which you think you've been programmed, or even ways that you've used to program yourself!
For Week 9, which is the last week of Summer School, your assignment is to go back through the previous 8 weeks and find the three ideas or moments or experiences -- three of something that made a real impact on you -- and think about ways you can continue to explore those experiences, and perhaps ways you can make other things in your life as fulfilling as those moments were to you.

Even though I only found Summer School a few weeks ago. I've had a number of experiences that made a significant impact. At an intellectual level I understand these experiences perfectly well while at another level I’m not sure I understand them at all. (Hard to explain.) When I try to process the plane where I sorta don’t understand them (the more emotional/wholistic plane) I don’t make “progress” in understanding but rather slip into a kinda soft-light trance place. None of this bothers me, it is a combination of wonder and gratitude. (I didn’t exactly want to choose “gratitude” but it pretty much self-wrote.) I’m certain my experiences are not at all surprising to your Patreons but they were completely new to me: 1. I’m analytical and don’t trust easily, so I was surprised (and am still adjusting to the centering I feel when I think about it) by the complete trust/safety I feel from your Programming. Examples include my losing conscious awareness for the first time; as well as separately, noticing some memory gaps (also for the first time ever) and how I pretty much always hate it when someone repeats, yet I love it when you do. 2. I am beginning to think that I can use your Programming to help me find a safe/non-toxic place to explore deeper submission. (I have made misjudgments there in the past. Not “poor me” I blame myself for those choices; just the complexity of at least semi-safely truly surrendering.) 3. I’ve always felt submission requires internal strength but your Programming helped me see how submission has the potential to be used for self-empowerment. I want to build on all of these experiences. When I even think about clicker training now, I feel a soft-tingling throughout my body and am aware of a vague trance-like feeling. I very much want that to deepen. I want to use your Programming to help me with aspects of complex PTSD (mostly free-floating anxiety.) As well as the void (manageable, but still a void) that I have when I am not serving. And lastly for empowerment/fulfillment in the Maslow-Hierarchy sense. In terms of how to proceed, I will continue to listen to your work every day. I will upgrade my Tier level. There are a number of files I want to explore in the next few weeks. Following that I’m looking forward to hopefully scheduling a consultation about what you think would make the most sense for my goals.
