I was supposed to do some stand-up comedy but it's a big snowstorm here so I'm not going to be going when the cool thing about snow is that the traffic is way slower moving on my street so I'm not hearing engine noise all the time so I really like that I was at the farmers market the other day and I ran into a man that I've talked to a few times at the farmers market and he follows a man named matt khan and i think i mentioned him in one video but i'm not a fan of how he makes people repeat stuff just gives me the heebie-jeebies a bit but this man that I ran into he said I could watch this video on the key of intention or something like that so I watched it and he talks about how for his thing which is something about the Love Revolution he said the only thing that you need to do is to change the meanings you ascribe to the symbols that you experience or the symbols that we subjectively perceive and I think this is an alignment with a lot of different things I've talked about regarding trans consciousness or map consciousness I talked in earlier videos about how map consciousness is a hyper meaning state and is trying to give new meanings to things and I feel like we actually need that to happen so what Matt Khan is saying to intentionally do is something that the universe is doing through certain people it's a mechanism of the universe anyways so I could consciously sit here and create an intention he'll say every time I have a sip of water may all beings in the world have clean water and he says by doing this we raise our vibration so by changing our intentions are creating these big leaps in intention so I feel like that sometimes what happens in map consciousness one can feel like if I turn off this light switch the world is going to end and I remember feeling like if I eat all this honey I'm going to go into a diabetic coma and die that was part of my suicide attempt and I had other ones too I had all these interesting perceptions I remember feeling like there was some significance to crows like if I saw a crow it meant a certain thing so what I'm trying to get at here is in the state of map consciousness one starts to ascribe odd so-called odd meanings and values to things and what Matt kata saying is to set those intentionally like for example taking a sip of water and having the intention that everybody have clean water I feel like part of what I'm doing through self dialogue is assigning different meanings to so-called mania and psychosis and I could go step further and feel like may all beings be able to create their own context through which to navigate this mysterious and incredible human experience and I feel like what he's talking about is it's pretty good stuff in terms of setting the intentions but then again a person might be limited by the types of intentions when is setting maybe not I'm not sure about that one I think anything that is supposedly positive is a good thing so if it's helpful it's a good thing and I do like what he's saying about that it's a way to keep one's energy a bit higher and he also said we don't change the labels we shift the meaning and when you shift the meaning the experience changes and that's what I feel like I've been doing through self dialogue I'm not necessarily trying to remove the label I have of bipolar but I'm changing the meaning it has for me I'm creating a lot of different meanings and i feel like when i start to embody my mania more what Matt cotton is talking about in terms of setting intentions and really silly intentions with mundane behaviors are pretty extravagant intentions with mundane behaviors I remember doing that in manic consciousness the first time I remember feeling like a strong sense of something being true as an intention like if I gave ten dollars to somebody who looked like they could use a nice meal I felt more beyond just that I felt like it was healing more than just that gesture to that one person and I felt it pretty strongly so what I'm tryi
