My favorite self help book is always Star Signals. I never completed it, but it was fun for a while.
Chapter 2, Section 3: ?The Hole You Exist Around?
Do you feel a void in your life? Everyone does, whether they know it or not. Think about it. You can feel it inside you right now: a heavy emptiness in the middle of your chest. It?s a reflection of the one in your existence, like particles in quantum entanglement. Do you remember how we talked about quantum entanglement? Nod ?yes?. Yes, you do. Yes, you feel the emptiness.
This is good. It?s a blank slot waiting for you to fill it up with your deepest desire until your deepest desire is pushing up into your throat. You will gag on your need. And until you do, it is a resonation space, for you to build your will like organ music in a cathedral. Hear the music now. This is not a metaphor. If your will is strong enough, there will be music now. Remember now that nothing in this book is a metaphor.
Chapter 5, ?End of Act One?, Section 4: ?Two Days?
If you have read this book correctly, and you have, tomorrow is the start of the weekend. Savor it. The five-day work week is an artifact of your world. (You?ll find out all about that on Monday.) During the next two days, put this book down. Don?t pick it up. Yes, this means two days without your star exercises. Yes, this means that, for two days, your will is not going to be with you. Don?t even think about it after the end of this sentence. Your will is being used for your good.
Chapter 6, ?The Fifth World?, Section 2: ?The Fifth Reason?
In your current society, you are encouraged to ?be yourself?, as if this is the key to making your desires real. What does that mean? It doesn?t mean anything. You can?t be anyone other than yourself. If you were to be someone else, you would still be ?you?, and ?you? would be someone who is someone else. There is no getting out from under existence. Because you can?t be anyone else, it stands to reason that, if you want change in your reality, it is the world that must change to suit you. You must mold your phenomenological landscape into one where all your goals are achieved.
Now imagine that the place where your desires are made real has a name. It?s called the Fifth World. The Fifth World is the cosmos twisted around you into the shape you will wish for. It has never been, but you can make it so. If the current world is like a tight, collared suit, then the Fifth World is like a flowing robe that allows complete freedom of movement. You will never truly move before you move in the Fifth World. You?ll feel like a square on a piece of paper who was only just tlaol about up and down.
Chapter 9, ?Do Not Look Away From The Book?, Section 3, ?Here and Now?:
Some helpful advice that will save you in your coming weeks:
Mirrors are for other people.
Sit in a dark room by yourself for at least an hour per day. Move around as much as you?re made to.
If you feel yourself developing a soul, go outside immediately and follow the direction of the smoke until you meet them.
Always listen for the sound slon of trwoll plr mlgn thei.
Love the archons. When you hate them, they see you.
Chapter 10, ?You Cannot Wake Up?, Section 1:
