THE MAP IS NOT THE (GREEN) TERRITORY

Circuit 4: Social Navigation

Since most people in my audience I believe have settled somewhere in the Land of the Edge-Dwellers, we can skip talking about the quest to break out from Conformity Valley.

We probably all still play some masking games here and there when we need to visit the Highlands of Adulting to make our living in our current civilization configuration. Still, mostly we have found our niche somewhere, where we can be our full divergent weirdo selves.

And then, most of us exist somewhat isolated there, connected only through the virtual realms, probably having a hard time finding our place in the social world.

C2: Emotional Sovereignty

This Quest begins with tuning in to our emotional landscape and learning to feel the feels. Yes... to feel all of them.
Even the heavy and scary ones.
It helps to acknowledge them as energy in motion and allow the waves to wash through us. We might also realize that they can be interpreted as signals giving us information about our home turf territory: our sense of Self. They tell us about our basic emotional needs and how they are met or not: validation, importance, self-worth, attachment, security, and control of the territory.

This territory, regulated by our limbic system can be experienced as the seat of our personal power!

Most of us from the millennial generation and our elders grew up in a world that trained us to dissociate from our emotions, leaving us at the mercy of "irrational" emotional outbursts whenever we could not "control" them anymore, disconnected from ourselves and leaving us mostly disempowered.

The C2 Quest for Emotional Sovereignty

The main Quest of the Yellow Territory consists of reclaiming our power by conquering the High Castle of Self-Sovereignty.
That place where you are the Sovereign, King or Queen, of your own Self. That place where your emotional landscape is rich and balanced and not easily affected by the outside world. That place where it becomes hard to get you to leave your center. That place where you know what you want and need, and you can get it by the sheer force of your will.

That place where you are in your full personal power. That place where you have mastered Self-Dominion.

But to get there most of us need to absolve a few sidequests first.

We might need to clear some landmines at Trigger Bay, we might need to walk through the Shadowlands and integrate our Gremlins, we might need to walk the Valley of Tears and cross Alchemist Bay, make our way through the Desert of Self-Knowledge, and climb the Highlands of Radical Self-Expression.

THE SURF SPOTS

Around the Shadowlands there is a spot where we can surf some Drama Waves. Those can be very tricky waves to surf as the drama tides turn higher, we might have to deal with a lot of chaotic waves of different feels, and we may end up tossed around and landing back in Trigger Bay, exhausted, depleted, and powerless.

Around Boundary Bay, we can find a Surf Spot to surf the Waves of Healthy Anger. We can ride out these powerful waves for a while when they build up and use that energy to get ahead, accomplish something, and initiate change. or have a high-intensity short ride on them, when they erupt suddenly and set boundaries. Mastering these waves will support us in getting where we want and increasing our personal power.

You can find a few spots to ride the fun Dopamine Waves as well to get you going, but we have not mapped them yet.

THE ILLUMINATION ISLAND

Wherever you are going through this territory, we recommend a visit to this Island to charge upon the Yellow Magick and shine the solar light on your shadows or fuel your self-expression with the radiance of the Sun.

Where are you on this map?
What's your next step?

THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY (IN RED - PART 2)

Circuit 1: Bio-Unit Maintenance

Our Quest begins with the grounding basics: Physiological survival by meeting our primary needs for food, shelter, sleep, and safety.

In our current Western civilization configuration, most, but not all of us, have access to food and housing, but not to the feature of safety.

As long as these needs are hooked to the rat race of making money under the conditions of manufactured scarcity for the masses, the quest for Safety remains an ongoing one for most of us.

Our bodies will activate the flight/fight sterss response when the money runs short, and we don't know how we gonna pay for the next rent or meal.

To escape this conundrum, we need to understand that the Quest for Safety becomes an inside job!

THE C1 QUEST

We want to get to Safety Bay and chill at the Cape of Good Health.

To get there you will have to work with your body, listen to its signals, respond intelligently, and learn to (co-)regulate your nervous system.

Throughout this journey, you will have to unlock the feature of TRUST.

Can you trust your body to carry you through the other Quests in life and can your body trust you to take the best care of it?

Remember, higher cognitive functions of the nervous system depend on a well-regulated basis in C1. If you are activated and anxious all the time, different features of your system will not be as available to you as with a calm and relaxed body.

THE SURF SPOT

The Red Territory offers us a surf spot to surf waves of anxiety, waves of adrenaline, and waves cortisol.

While these all can feel very activating and fun for a while as long as you keep in the sweet spot of eu-stress, when the tides rise and the waves get bigger, it can get quite taxing and take a toll on the system to keep riding those waves.

When your system collapses you end up in the land of frozen bodies or the Icy Isolation Islands and will experience deep inertia, cuz nothing moves there.


SAFETY BAY

Once you reach safety bay and get familiar with the sensation of feeling safe within your own skin, you can start navigating with more ease out of Safe Harbour to explore the 8 seas without currents of fear.

WARRIOR MONK ISLAND

To enhance your capacity to feel vital and safe in your body, we recommend a visit to this island to charge upon the Red Magick of the Warrior and train Martial Arts like a monk.

Where are you on this map and what is your next move?

Up for exploring deeper? Join the Quest!

We set sail on September 22nd and we still have some space to jump on board!

The 8 Seas of Chaos Await: A Treasure Hunt Invitation to the Brave

Ahoy, dear adventurers of the psyche! The tides are shifting, and the 8 Seas of Chaos are calling to those who dare to leave the safety of the shore. This isn’t your ordinary journey—it’s a quest for the bold, for those ready to explore the hidden depths of their consciousness and sail into uncharted territories aboard The Pippilotta, a ship guided by the spirit of Pippi Longstocking herself.

With her motto, "Ich mach mir die Welt, wiedewidewitt sie mir gefällt," we embark on this journey not just to explore the world as it is, but to reshape it as we desire. This ship is more than a vessel—it’s a declaration of radical self-expression, where we make our world as wild, as free, and as boundless as our imaginations allow.

Enter the Hero’s Dilemma

You, dear explorer, are the hero of this tale. Whether you’re an intrepid seeker of new experiences, a rebellious spirit ready to shatter the constraints of consensus reality, or a sage in search of deeper wisdom, the ORMEC expedition ahead promise transformation unlike any you’ve known.

But the journey won’t be easy! The ocean of the mind is vast and unpredictable. There will be storms, moments when you question your direction, when the darkness of the deep seems overwhelming. Will you have the courage to stay on board and steer the ship through these challenges with our crew? Or will the comfort of the familiar keep you anchored in place?

Captain Mavis: Your Guide through the Manuel Störmer

Worry not my loves, because when the journey feels too daunting, you will have the support of Captain Mavis — your Cosmic Customer Care guide, seasoned navigator of the chaotic seas. With a map that charts the Eight Circuits of Consciousness and a compass tuned to the Eight Colors of Magick, she offers more than just guidance. She brings the tools you need to navigate the unknown and the wisdom to help you discover the treasure within.

The Journey: No Easy Way

Understand this: the quest for transformation is not a straight line. At first, the winds might be in your favor, and progress will seem swift. But beware—the deeper you go, the more you’ll be tested. The old maps won’t serve you, and the waves of doubt will try to turn you back. You’ll face moments where the struggle feels too great, and you may wonder if the treasure is worth the cost.

But here, in the eye of the storm, is where true magick happens. With Captain Mavis at the helm, you’ll learn not just to weather the storm but to harness its power. You’ll emerge not just as a survivor but as a master of the seas—someone who has not only found the treasure but has become it. And at the end of this journey, you will have your own map to navigate future psychonautic adventures with!

Your Call to Adventure

Are you ready to answer the call of the 8 Seas of Chaos? The Pippilotta sets sail on September 22nd, and this is your chance to embark on a journey where you re-create your world as you see fit. But first, you must prove your mettle. Book your call with Captain Mavis to see if you’re destined to join this crew. The seas are wild, the journey is perilous, but the treasure—oh, the treasure—is beyond anything you’ve ever imagined.

Will you cast off and join us on this legendary adventure?

MAYBE YOU KNOW THEM, MAYBE YOU DON'T

Introducing the 8 Circuit Brainiacs

For now it is only four of us, but I am not alone in my geek obsession with the 8 Circuit Brain Model.

Rachel Maeve, Douglas S Wingate and Zach West have been companions in the last 2 years in my journey of playing with the 8 Circuit Brain or 8 Circuits of Consciousness Model.

We share a similar story on "How we found this model and what did we do with it once we found it".

But we have developed different approaches in the application of it.

Where I am playing with maps, quests and adventures of personal and magical development, Zach West has applied it to musical development for kids.

Rachel Maeve and Douglas S Wingate have taken upon themselves to upgrade the model with the state of the discourse theories in Neuroscience and Psychology and offering application of the model for Psychedelic Therapy and Integration.

Their book is just about to come out, so watch out for that.

In this video we introduce ourselves and our stories a bit and we have the intention of recording more in deptht geeking on the model and different circuits in future.

So tune in, if you are curious about my mental obsession.

If you want to go down a rabbit whole you can join my ChaoSurfing BaseCamp group to make yourself familiar with the quest, the maps and the compass for the adventures on offer.

Ahoy and Hail Eris!
