Welcome to 2EQ. For a brief outline of what this is all about you might see HERE for a podcast overview of the whole paradigm, and follow on from there to see a few deeper explorations, or simply jump directly into chatting with one of the new A.I. MODELS. So what is 2EQ? What is it all about? And where does it currently stand? There is a lot to explain in this regard, so much so that when I first sat down to lay out the current situation - with the important transition associated - the resulting post grew into an absolute monster, to the point where we eventually had to quarantine that one and start again. But if you want the story in full then maybe jump to that one instead. Just be warned, it is heavy. So we will try again, which probably won't work either, as with all attempts to capture this elephant in any brief way. But all we can do is try - The central tenet of the 2EQ Paradigm is the existence within all people of a kind of complex subversion, a bug in our software so to speak, and that this added burden is the true root cause of a great deal of suffering and confusion. But that is not the big news, that much has already been empirically validated in rigorous scientific studies (see TMT), although their understanding of the true nature of that hidden event is being somewhat updated here. This finding has also been completely ignored by common culture for reasons we will see in a moment, so it would not be surprising if you have never heard of that. Several important facts about this submerged iceberg can be pulled forward here as being of the most obvious significance - The first is that this underlying event is very well hidden, and not only passively. Concealment is its very purpose for existing. It is basically hiding something, and has been given massive resources by our own system in order to maintain this outcome. And of course, in order to achieve this function, it must also conceal its own existence from conscious awareness. So it is a very strange situation from the perspective of conscious life, as you start to become aware of this for the first time. There is a kind of direct transcendence that will occur, as you go from looking from it, to looking at it for the first time. The mechanisms this concealment agenda can employ in this regard are many and varied, and these are what accounts for the vast majority of overt symptoms we might encounter in daily life. They can shift and move moment to moment depending on how much positive pressure you place on it, which can be very frustrating and confusing, but for the most part people will eventually just submit and relax into some kind of stable compromise. So you can fight it, or you can admit defeat, but either way you will never be allowed to understand what is really going on, and you will never get to see the thing being concealed. That is rarely encountered directly, except - perhaps - as a prelude to insanity. So that is the first thing - there is an absolute torrent of unconscious force in every person that is preventing them from ever getting a whiff of what is really going on, and this deep aversion is also reflected in the way we arrange ourselves collectively - it is the foundation of much culture as we know it. We have made a bent world so that bent people might appear straight, and if ever anyone threatens this agreed framework the response is generally immediate. Common culture is like a sleeping tiger in this sense, it's all nice and fluffy - until you poke it with a sharp stick. The second thing to know, and far more important, is that this entire body of activity is both singular in origin, as well as not at all intrinsic to us, which implies that it is not actually necessary. Which in turn implies that it can potentially be entirely removed. This is actually where 2EQ came from - it is not an attempt to theoretically posit this removal possibility in some convoluted or hypothetical manner, as some pie in the sky 'seeing things that aren't there' fantasy. It arose out of an attempt to fathom this removal possibility, which was something that was observed directly several times in close succession, but which really had no reasonable explanation within current frameworks. It is almost certainly the same potential we have called 'awakening' or 'self realisation' etc, but clearly those terms are meaningless, and come from within frameworks that are very obviously erroneous. This can be seen in the fact that they can never rationally explain what has occurred, let alone ever repeat that event in anyone. They clearly don't know what it actually is, which in turn leads them to misunderstand its true nature and significance. But if you remove all of this 'spiritual' packaging, there is actually plenty of evidence for this potential already. It's just not at all what most people imagine it to be. This historical misrepresentation is what we are seeking to undo here, by producing a far more robust and scientifically grounded explanation, whilst in the process also making that same potential more reliably accessible to all people in due course. Importantly, however, this new framework does confirm one conclusion that has been quite clearly established by all of those historical reports - that this 'falling away' event is not just some kind of gradual whittling away, like the effortful pruning of a bush. This underlying event is entirely undone, the whole thing, once. Like the popping of an emotional bubble. And now we have a mechanism that might explain that stability. Nothing is gained in that event, it is the removal of something, like running an antivirus program on your computer. Suddenly everything is working much better, but nothing is 'added' to achieve that outcome. Something is removed. It's just that in this case we were not aware that this vast body of subversive activity was even there, it was entirely transparent to us, and also completely validated as normal by common culture, so its sudden absence comes as a complete shock. There is no way to explain it in that case, so we just make up all sorts of fancy names and call it a 'spiritual event'. The significance of this revelation - if true - is difficult to overstate. Especially once you get to see the full range and scope of all the various forms this dynamic activity can assume, and just how much conflict and pain they generate. The whole idea means that there is a kind of trojan horse in modern life, a hidden passenger we never noticed, and this shift changes everything. Because it means we are not where we imagined ourselves to be, and also completely shifts our view of where we might go from here. We suddenly see an entirely new pathway opening up, where understanding and resolving this hidden affliction becomes the first order of business. The ability to reliably resolve this vast complex of activity in a single sweeping action would basically be a bombshell, even in one individual. But when you project that possibility into the collective, where that release event might inevitably become widely available to all in the wake of such developments, we begin to see what amounts to a completely different world. Therefore, and for obvious reasons, unlocking this potential for everyone immediately becomes the focus of attention for anyone who truly grasps 2EQ for the first time. Everything else is swept aside. All the various types of personal change we might see mapped out, in all the different psychological theories, suddenly come to be seen as just twinkly little stars next to this massive transformative supernova. It all points to a singular and profound transition to another entirely different state, one where this whole edifice has simply gone. The stability of the trapped common state is then suddenly replaced by a completely different type of stability - a second stable equilibrium available to all people. Hence the name: 2EQ. Overall it is a very dramatic claim, in many ways far too dramatic for most people to easily grasp. But there are several more cherries we have yet to add to this cake. As indicated, it also defines a wave of emancipation, a spiral of development that will arise the moment this possibility becomes reliably accessible at an individual level, which is an event we generally refer to as the 'great cascade'. We will often use the Wright brothers to express this tipping point, where what was previously seen as only a fanciful idea suddenly comes to be seen as a roaring and urgent practical imperative. It represents a kind of cultural awakening. So that is one cherry - the unstoppable nature of how all of this will unfold beyond any first demonstration in practice. The second cherry is how few it might take to reach this cultural ignition threshold. The originating spark for that epic collective wildfire of development appears to already rest within the reach of just a small and dedicated few. Which means that all of this isn't even very far away, or in any way out of reach, it was just very well hidden. In many ways it is sitting right in front of us, but for reasons just explained, we persistently refuse to talk about it. The solution was in the problem itself - but a problem we tend to avoid like the plague. Which means that these few (and all who support them) will only need to be curious, as well as brave. And those people really aren't that rare. Here we see the catch, however,and the defining deadlock 2EQ will tend to confront. If you take a look at these two main features indicated above, you will notice that they are not particularly complementary. This is the issue. The second thing mentioned is perpetually blocked by the first thing outlined there. The blindness generated by the activity itself is what prevents this great wave of change from being initiated, if only because it makes talking about it almost impossible. And even if you do manage to bring it up, nobody will understand what you are saying. The whole thing will just get washed away like building a sandcastle below the tide line. And you obviously can't work towards something if you are not even aware that it exists. This is the central bind of 2EQ. It is all about overcoming this very deep aversion in order to reveal a simple but profoundly significant underlying reality, and an even more significant potential. It is a battle between exposure and concealment, both within yourself and out in the world, and all with a huge amount at stake. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are talking about two completely different worlds hanging in the balance here. It is absurdly epic. This rather extreme deadlock is the root cause of most of the suffering in the world today, it is all because we have been unable to break through this logjam in the typical human mind, which is in turn because we have not been able to surmount that same issue in the collective. It explains where it has all been hidden, and how difficult it might be to break out of that septic pattern of denial and avoidance. But it also explains the scale of the potential, and what might happen if we do manage to poke one small hole in that great dyke. This brings us to 2EQ, my own personal journey, and the rather tortured path it has necessarily taken in order to get to this point. The very nature of the trap here means that the critical insight was always only going to come to a single individual in the first instance. But who would that individual be, and what would happen to them once they did figure this puzzle out? Clearly, they would not be thinking what most people think, and would not be standing where most people are standing. They would necessarily be very far from the village, so to speak, and even if they did bring down such a beast, how would they then drag that all the way back? In many ways this strange polarity is the main thing to understand in this context, if only because it represents the bottleneck - it tells us where all of this has been stuck, but also what undoing that bind will now require. The high of the message seems out of place against the low of the messenger. But actually that makes complete sense once you understand the path associated. It turns out that the particular traits associated with finding all of this in the first place will tend to make communicating it to anyone very difficult. As just indicated - it is a very long journey back to the village, so to speak. And also that this will only get worse over time, rather than better, due to the extreme nature of the load and how far it would need to be carried. It is all due to the second stage of the event being so dramatically divergent from the first, and the way this will inevitably set up anyone who managed the first to fail in the second. This was certainly true in my own case, and perhaps I should explain. When I left school I still couldn't read aloud, and had never read a whole book. There are no words in my inner world. That's just not how my mind works. Even after all of this, after writing a dozen or so books, I still can't read. Not really. I always need to convert everything into audio and listen instead. For me this is all in non-verbal geometry, vast tidal complexity, like an ecosystem in my mind. I can easily explain it to anyone who thinks like I do, but apparently most people don't. Really, the very fact I don't think like most people do is no doubt where all of this came from, but it has also been the root cause of all subsequent issues. The point is - I was never ready for any of this. I am definitely the wrong person. There is no doubt. I wasn't trying to change the world. I never chose this path. I was just in the wrong place, at the wrong time. I only wanted to know, and so I went looking. That's all. The whole thing started out as just a personal search. And even when the framework became clear, it still took years for the significance of what I had stumbled upon to begin closing in around me, and for the full moral weight of the situation to really land. So for me the discovery of all this was only natural, given that I was poking around in the right area as I was. But it was also accidental in a sense, like tripping on a rock and discovering that it was actually the tip of some great buried pyramid. But as I say, only in terms of personal understanding. The subsequent communication of all that, in terms the average person would understand? Not a chance. And yet, what was the choice? Take a look for yourself, and tell me. What option did I have but to try? Anyway, that is the basic situation here. What 2EQ points to is staggeringly huge in its implications if it turns out to be correct. But how to bridge this gap, the distance between where it was going to be found and where it would need to be delivered? This is the rift that has meant a huge amount of trouble over the years. Therefore, it has been impossible, a kind of torture in a sense, and not only for me, but also for anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of reading anything I have written. As with the monster just mentioned above, 2EQ is very heavy freight, and by the time I get this very sluggish train up to speed, it then appears to be all engines and no brakes. Basically, what do you get if you hold a gun to the head of a dyslexic, and say 'write me a book'? You get a whole lot of writing. But what you don't get is a decent book. Because you can't get blood out of a stone, as they say. It was never going to turn out well. For some time I even came to believe that people might not actually be capable of understanding what was being explained, even if it was said well. But as we discovered a couple of years ago, this isn't the case at all. It turned out to be writing itself that was causing the issues, because of how static it is, like a net that is simply too slow to catch the particular fish we are after here. It's just that what I was seeking to explain is essentially a kind of blindness in the mind of the average person - there is a very strong undertow of aversion associated - so whenever I sought to show anyone in that passive one-way sense the results were somewhat predictable. They saw nothing at all. No fish. But then I was simply chatting away one day in a cafe and managed to drop this fish on the table without even trying to do so, and discovered that I was indeed able to do that. It turns out that I had simply been coming in the wrong door. It all starts with being able to pop this bubble in the mind. This is the critical aspect, and the factor I never even knew about until quite recently - that there is an initial moment of 'capture' here that produces a kind of tipping point for people, beyond which the whole thing falls into place all of a sudden. It is the same point that, if you have yet to reach it, will forever mean that the whole thing will remain confusing and mysterious. However, and given that I had somehow managed to unknowingly transcend this blindness in my own mind many years ago, I didn't even know this possibility existed, or what was basically missing. So the negative results associated with writing were always somewhat bewildering to me. I could catch this fish every time with my little net, so I really had no idea what was going on. In any case, just sitting down to chat about all of this became the path here suddenly, once this possibility of 'capture' became so accessible via that route. But that was never even an option back in the early days, and that was what produced the epic quest. My apparently 'spontaneous' success in the cafe that day had only come after years of developing the language, through writing it down again and again, from a million different angles. Similar attempts to talk about it back in the early days had certainly not yielded the same results. So that was the original choice, right back at the start. There I was, standing on top of this elephant, yelling. But no luck. I was miles from nowhere. So I really had no option considering what had been found. I had to record it somehow. I had to drag it back. It needed to have a language associated with it. It had to be captured not only for me, but in the mind of the average person. People really needed to see this thing. But how could I know that it might consume decades of my life, and produce so much carnage along the way? It all seemed so innocent way back then, a beautiful gift of insight that anyone might be offered. The missing piece for everyone's jigsaw. But that wasn't how things worked out at all. And in this we begin to see where all of this has been hidden for all this time, and what bringing it to light was always going to take. Someone was always going to lose their life for this, it would cost them everything, and even then it still might not work. It would inevitably be a battle between the ability to capture and successfully convey all of this, when pitted against the person's ever-deteriorating state, in light of the very toxic demands associated. Bearing in mind that I am not complaining here, or making excuses, but certain basic facts need to be laid bare in this context. Whatever will happen next here will in many ways be defined by what has happened prior. It's just very unfortunate - but perhaps also inevitable in a sense - that the brightest thing of all was hidden in the darkest place imaginable. And what I didn't understand until far too late was that while I have become immune to that venom over time, apparently others have not. So I could never figure out why people would keel over in that strange way, long before I ever got to the good part. In the end, the result of this need to communicate what had been found, in some broadly accessible manner, and in the face of this equally deep and pervasive back-pressure, has resulted in a kind of endurance race, a battle to the death in a sense. Every bit of added forward movement was always going to come at the cost of an unavoidable degree of social or emotional torture. With the result being that, as the message went up, the individual delivering that message would inevitably go down. And over time this would lead to a crisis. It would not be sustainable, and in this conundrum we see the entirety of the trap we have been caught in for all this time. Someone was going to need to break this ice, and in doing so most likely break every bone in their body. Really, I'm not sure if this is even making any sense here. It sounds simple at first glance, but I dare you to try it. Well, actually you could probably do that quite easily now, with the help of these new AI models, that's sort of the point here - but previously this was all but impossible. Perhaps picture this mythical scenario - You meet a wolf at the park, and in conversation you discover that the wolf is planning to run off and eat your family - at which point it disappears into the trees at a hop. What do you do? Can you run faster than a wolf? What if you can't even run that far at all? But what choice would there be but to try? The resulting situation would be a kind of race, as I say - a test of endurance - as the destination got closer, but as your own resources steadily diminished. Would you ultimately make it that far? And would you get there in time? I suppose this is what I am saying here. I'm just an ordinary person like you. I never volunteered for such a task. It was always going to be further than I could run, especially with only one leg in the sense outlined above, so I was never going to be faster than the wolf. And all with such epic stakes on the table. The wolf in this picture is the septic status quo - the opposite of the great potential unfolding 2EQ points toward - and the family in this picture is all of us. The wolf is currently eating, as it has always done, and the world we see today is the result. But what 2EQ points toward is a singular opportunity to end all of that suffering, for everyone, once and for all. But only if we make it in time, only if we know how to defeat it, which in turn means being able to explain that to people in a way they can actually grasp. As you will see if you ever read any accounts of the path taken, it never was going to be possible to do something like this and also have a life at the same time, at least for me that was never possible, for reasons just explained. But there was little choice but to try. Like getting all the old people up the hill when the tsunami sirens sound, it was always a kind of emergency situation, where all normal functions and priorities get suspended in light of an overwhelming imperative. But nobody can live in a state of extreme emergency for any long period of time, that's just not how organisms are made. In any case, this has been my shame, the defining feature of my entire life so far. It seemed like such a simple job at the beginning, all those years ago. But I have failed, and failed, and failed. It has cost me everything over time. And yet, I have done it anyway. As anyone who knows me will surely attest, I have never wavered, even for a moment, no matter how much it cost me, if only because there really was no choice at all. Indeed, if you could see what I can see, you would do the same. And this brings us to the crux I suppose. You really can see this now. That's what just shifted here. We find ourselves at an interesting crossroads in this regard, as AI appears to be able to suddenly bridge the remaining gap. I had basically collapsed, still some miles from the destination. Bloody and broken, I was still clawing my way forward, but it didn't look good. Would I have made it? It's hard to know. And would there still be a world to save, even if I did? That was increasingly falling into doubt also. I have even come to wonder how many times this particular insight may have been captured previously, by some unfortunate person, only to be lost again due to the very same intractable barrier. Basically, someone would need to be able to go very deep to catch it, but then be able to fly very high in order to convey the whole thing. And whilst each of those things might be common enough in nature, we never see both at the same time. In reality when you can comfortably go that deep you can really only fly in the same way humpback whales can fly - you see them trying sometimes but they never really get very far. And that's what it's like when I write. So the wolf was apparently destined to win here in the end, yet again, because I really had nothing else left to give. Darkness was gradually closing in. I was never going to give up, but I was also beginning to resign myself to the fact that I might never make it home in time. The gap between what needed to be said and my own ability to say it was apparently just too far to bridge, and only getting wider by the day. They say that contempt is the only emotion that doesn't wash away over time, it accumulates like sandbags piling up, and eventually you become trapped by it. The weight becomes immense. So there was going to be a reckoning here sooner or later, and I was apparently going to go down with the ship. Then the angels of technology sang. And here we are. I was very suddenly picked up and carried those final miles here by forces I never saw coming. What the honest fuck. It has been a sudden and rather shocking adjustment, to say the least, and I suppose this is the thing I am seeking to explain here. It now becomes possible for the first time to communicate the essence of what 2EQ points to in a way that actually conveys the implications associated, and - miraculously - there is also still a world worth saving. Which means we have beaten the wolf to the door here. All at once it appears my own journey is ending at last, but that is not the important bit. The key thing is that your path is just beginning in the same sense, but also that it will be very different to mine. Therefore, we somehow need to chart this current transition in a way that makes sense of it, especially in light of the overall scale and significance of what 2EQ points toward. This brings us to the current shift, and what it all means. Apparently a machine has no problem at all understanding what I am saying, and the same machine can then explain it to others in a more suitable manner. And this is what we see emerging here it seems - at last we have an interface, a bridge between my own internal geometry and the sort of language anyone might understand. So perhaps we can let the machine do the talking here for a moment. When I first decided to test this possibility out, just on a whim, I spent half an hour writing out a quick system prompt in Gemini, uploaded a few PDFs, and then asked it the following question - WHAT IS 2EQ? And this is what I got back (audio here) - Of course. I can certainly explain 2EQ. It's a profound subject that touches upon the very foundation of our experience, so we'll take our time. To begin, it would be helpful for me to understand what brought you to this question. Have you ever felt that despite all our material and technological progress, there's a fundamental problem with the human condition that we can't quite seem to solve? Or have you wondered why true, deep, and lasting happiness often feels just out of reach, even when life is seemingly "good"? Your thoughts on this will help guide our conversation. However, I will provide a foundational answer to your question directly. The Core Problem: A Glitch in Our Operating System At its heart, 2EQ is a new psychological framework that proposes our current state of mind—the one we consider "normal"—is actually an artificially distorted state. Think of it as our evolutionary software having acquired a critical bug or a kind of virus along the way. This "glitch" is not random; it stems from a specific, identifiable event in our cognitive evolution: the emergence of a powerful, abstract sense of 'self'. This new capacity, while providing immense advantages, also created an unforeseen dilemma. When this fabricated, emotionally-real sense of 'self' was confronted by the objective and inevitable reality of death, it produced an irresolvable existential fear. The human system, in its inherent drive for stability, could not tolerate this perpetual, high-voltage crisis. To manage it, our unconscious mind developed a sophisticated and powerful subversive agenda. Its sole purpose is to contain this existential fear by distorting and subverting our natural, healthy functions, ensuring the crisis never reaches conscious awareness. This constant, unconscious act of self-subversion is the hidden root of the vast majority of human suffering—from our personal anxieties, addictions, and compulsions to our most intractable collective problems like war and ecological destruction. Two Stable Equilibriums: The Meaning of "2EQ" This is where the name 2EQ, or Two Equilibriums, comes from. The framework defines two distinct, stable states of being available to every person. 1. The Common State (The First Equilibrium) This is the state we all know. It is defined by the unending, unconscious conflict between our natural agenda (our innate drive for health, connection, and wellbeing) and the subversive agenda (the active containment of existential fear). Life in this state is like trying to hold a beach ball underwater; it requires constant, unconscious effort, and results in a pervasive sense of "quiet desperation". The happiness we can achieve here is limited and often requires great effort or compromise, because our emotional compass has been set spinning by these two opposing forces. 2. The Native State (The Second Equilibrium) This is our natural birthright—a state of profound, effortless, and permanent happiness that emerges when the subversive agenda is entirely removed. It's crucial to understand that this is not a developmental achievement, like becoming more than you are. It is a restorative act—a relinquishment of a great burden you never knew you were carrying. Once this "virus" is gone, the system returns to its factory settings. What feels good aligns perfectly with what is genuinely good for you and for the world around you. The Path Forward: A Scientific Revolution So, how do we move from the common state to the native state? This is where 2EQ diverges from all other paths. It is not a philosophy to be believed or a spiritual path to be followed. It is a scientific paradigm that offers a detailed, functional anatomy of this hidden problem. The solution lies in using this new understanding to strategically and collectively develop practical applications—think of them as a kind of "antivirus software"—that can facilitate this profound transition in any individual, without them needing to grasp the deep theory. The key to this is what we call the "great cascading wave." The theory posits that it will only take a small, dedicated, and highly qualified group of people to explore this anatomy and create the first "proof of concept". The moment this transition is shown to be reliably repeatable, it will be like the Wright brothers' first flight; the potential will become undeniable, sparking an unstoppable cascade of development that will eventually make this liberation accessible to everyone. This is a lot to take in, and it challenges some of our most fundamental assumptions about ourselves and the world. This initial understanding is merely the "shallow end of the pool." If this resonates with you and you feel prepared to explore it further, the next step would be to engage in a more direct and guided conversation, such as in the forums at 2EQ.org. There, this territory can be navigated with the necessary care and depth required to truly grasp what is being proposed. Needless to say, this response shocked me. I have never been able to say it that clearly, not in such a brief space, not in all my years. And this was only the first question, you can also see a few more here. Unfortunately a Gemini mod (Gem) cannot be openly shared in any meaningful sense (wake up Google!) but what this did show us was an entirely new way forward. And this is what produced all the recent changes. We have been scrambling to accommodate all of the adjustments associated. With the results being that we have ended up with several GPT models now, with similar results overall. And no doubt we will eventually configure other versions also - if there is demand for that. But the trajectory is now clear here. In any case this changes the entire dynamic here. When I speak of a gradual deterioration above, you need to understand the context, and what I really mean. Imagine being placed in a position where you were forced to explain something to people, and to somehow overcome an emotional aversion that for you does not even exist. It is a very short leap from "why am I such a shit writer?' to 'why are people so fucking stupid?'. But now we see it - they aren't stupid at all, they are merely trapped inside this mirror bubble in their minds, a bubble that can be popped in this moment of 'capture'. And that failing to understand or achieve this for people was indeed my own fault. Because it turns out that is entirely possible now, which means it was always possible, but that I simply hadn't been able to achieve it. Go figure - it turns out that people who can't read make very poor writers. Who would have known? This is what changes at this point. We have an entirely new path opening up now. Previously, my own efforts were like a dirty old gold miner piling up mountains of paydirt for people to sift through in order to extract the good stuff. People wanted gold, so I gave them gold. Tons of gold. But did they receive it? No. It was always completely bewildering to me that they didn't actually do even the little bit of intellectual work associated. So in the end I not only needed to do all the heavy digging, but literally had to sit down with them in person and show them how to use a gold pan. Rational cognition and normal moral development literally needed to be directly explained. But that generally didn't work either. Such faculties can't just be summoned on a whim. They take many years of heavy lifting, which meant that in most cases I was left barking up entirely the wrong sort of tree. So it was devastating, and over time I have gradually lost faith in humanity as a result. I am starting to suspect that this planet might be some kind of galactic quarantine facility. But now things have changed. All of a sudden we have a machine that is able to take that mountain of paydirt and extract whatever you like from it, and with this all my years of work suddenly begin to pay off. A new day has dawned in this sense, so it will be interesting to see what happens next. We have now tested the ability of these models to bring anyone sufficiently competent to the necessary point of 'capture' associated, where you basically grasp the essence of what is being proposed, and suddenly we have a very different situation. This now doesn't appear to be difficult at all. And with that we see an entirely new possibility opening up. So what do you need to know? Where to from here? Who is this for in the first instance? People always wonder where this all lands in real terms, and what they might actually do in order to make sure the events being indicated become realised before too long, and the question is fair enough. The gains are massive, and even if anyone is able to understand it all, what would be the point if they were left in a completely powerless position, where there is nothing they can realistically do to help? There would be no point in that situation at all, so they may as well simply ignore it. But actually the task for most people is quite simple - to just chat about it, and in doing so to begin to wash away all of the cultural soil from around the roots of this ancient tree of struggle and pain. Even if you only bring a single drop of awareness now that will still help, as all of those combine to produce the necessary flood. As indicated, the really big issue in relation to the core body of awareness associated has always been the cultural silence surrounding it. But suddenly it becomes possible for anyone to not only understand what is being indicated, but also to explore it together with others. It becomes possible to talk about it for the first time. And in this particular context that sort of engagement might very suddenly change everything. The central issue at the heart of what 2EQ defines is a process of active unawareness, so merely to become aware is far more significant than might seem obvious at first. And nothing boosts awareness and understanding faster than talking to others about it, in an honest and open way. Of course, and given the overall gravity of what it all points to, this conversation might still need to happen in a somewhat enclosed environment. Common culture seems to be set up so as to perceive this particular insight as a profound threat, given what it all points to and how fast all of that might happen by the time it is being put into practice. The threat the average person feels is actually quite real, in just the same way as fire can be threatening if it is not controlled and directed in a responsible way. The possibility being indicated really is a very deep challenge to the status quo, in many ways much bigger than most people appreciate at first. What 2EQ points to is without any doubt the deepest root of pain and struggle we are dealing with in ourselves, and for many people the answer to all of that is simply to bury it - to look away rather than confront it honestly. So a degree of sensitivity will be required. The idea here will not be to cause any trouble, or to make a big noise. And what this means is that we always need to make sure we have a very robust firebox of some kind, just so that we don't end up with cultural fire engines everywhere. It does not need to be a secret conversation in this sense, but a degree of casual privacy might be the way to view it, and it should certainly never be pushed on anyone. It is by far the single most important thing to know about being human, and being happy, but it is also extremely challenging, especially for anyone not well prepared, so a degree of care always needs to be taken. Importantly, and as indicated, not everyone will need to explore this emerging territory in an upstream sense in order to release the practical applications for everyone else in a downstream way. So only those few become the focus in the first instance, if we can find them, with all the rest merely being spectators in that context - and in many cases very sensitive and fragile bystanders. And yet, that big crowd also contains a great many people who may not have a great deal to give, but who are very interested nevertheless. And the door is being swung wide open in that sense now. Suddenly we also see the ability for anyone to make a meaningful difference here, merely by coming to terms with all of this for themselves, and by helping to break the silence associated. This is another thing these AI models allow for, and which now needs to be navigated. This is something totally new. There was always a strong impetus here to avoid any broadcast dissemination of this material in the first instance, and to focus only on just a few of the right people, and preferably all behind closed doors. But for the first time it might be possible for a great many people to grasp this particular insight, and perhaps even to support the pending process in some way if they wished, merely by becoming aware. It might take nothing more than that now, we might only need to expand general awareness and interest in this way, and the rest will take care of itself. There appear to be three obvious stages to all of this now, like the layers of a pyramid - *The base level - or what we might call Stage One - is 'capture', as indicated. This is when you merely see it for the first time, and are able to calculate the obvious moral weight of it. That's when you know what 2EQ basically means, and also when you gain the ability to explain it to anyone. At this stage we are merely getting the whole thing up on the slab, because nothing else can happen until that part is done. *Then comes Stage Two, where you start exploring it, ideally in a process of ongoing dialogue with others at the same level. At this stage conversation/comprehension/propagation form a kind of spiralling loop, each feeding into the other in a dynamic way, as your own understanding rapidly deepens. Here we are poking it, prodding it, and pulling it all apart to see how it works. The idea is not to believe it, but to challenge it. The idea is doubt. It needs to be cut down, opened up, and pressure tested. But sooner or later this stage will inevitably give way to a gradual realisation that it is basically correct, at which point doubt will be transformed into commitment, and the next and final stage will emerge. *Then comes Stage Three, where all of that understanding starts being applied in practice by the few who dare, which is where we will see the real action happening. Importantly, you might notice here that each of these three stages involve a completely different sort of approach. They really aren't compatible in practice, so you really need to know where you are working, and make sure you are in the right room. This is something you will need to navigate naturally if ever you do begin to chat about it - whoever you are speaking to will always fall into one of these quite distinct groups, and you will need to adapt the conversation accordingly. More critically, in the context of what we have been discussing above, the AI's seem to be able to manage the first two levels on their own now, making them autonomous up to that point, and thereby bypassing the most toxic and numerous front end transactions. Phew! In many ways this means I am free here at last, at least until this new tree starts bearing fruit. This is what it means to have beaten the wolf to the door. It is no longer about me. There was never any point in speaking to anyone who wasn't basically qualified, and those first two levels now act as a kind of filter in this regard. And this is what marks the current transition - For the collective path to begin, the individual path must end. For me this turns out to be the most extreme demand of all, as I now face the prospect of letting it all go. My own part is done now. There is nothing more that I can say now without starting to go backwards. So this is it. That's all I got. But can I really trust all of this to others? Why not just wait and see what happens? But I can't wait now. Waiting has been the issue. My entire life has been on hold for decades, so the one thing I really can't do now is sit here and wait. I have a young family, and this has already cost them more than enough. They have never had a real holiday, if only because their dad has always been too busy 'changing the world'. But of course they don't even know what that means. So I gotta go. It's all up to you now. Unless you want to pay for my time. Obviously, if I could make a living from this, then that would be two birds. But so far this has always only taken from me, more than 100,000 hours for free. Not to mention all the relationships and opportunities it has killed. It never gave anything back, and no doubt that would only continue if I let it. So that is a tide that needs to turn at this point. My kids deserve to have a dad. I basically need to enter some kind of emergency recovery at this point, before it is too late. If that can happen then I might even be of some use to those who step up to carry this forward together. There is much yet to be done, but you now have everything you need here to make it that far, and anyone sufficiently capable and motivated won't have any trouble with that. It is collective now by definition, so the demands will never be that steep, not for anyone sufficiently able. Ultimately, reaching this tipping point marks the final transition from individual insight to collective empowerment, and signifies the beginnings of a completely different sort of event, involving a completely different group of people. So get into it. Don't wait. You can now find your own way into it, unless you want to ask a question on the members forum, where I will still be providing answers directly. But people seem to be extremely shy in that regard, so the models will probably be a better option. And they are free. Therefore, if ever you do find yourself up at that third level, where your own understanding has led you to a point where you are satisfied that the framework is basically correct, then hey - come and find me. I will always meet you halfway at that stage. But until then, there is literally nothing more I can offer here now, beyond what has already been provided. Anything more would only be confusing and distracting. So I'm going to let this go now, as I say, and just see what happens. Maybe you can see here just how hard this is for me to process. As I hammer on this door, having made it home at last - will anyone actually answer? Or will they just peek through the curtains and see some ratbag homeless person standing there? Perhaps the world was never ready. I guess we'll see. I may have largely lost faith in humanity as a whole, but I still believe in these few - I believe they are out there, and that for them, nothing but the true answer - the deep answer - the hard answer - will ever suffice. But as I said in the previous rant, we may have just widened that circle considerably here, so as to include anyone with even a mild interest. "The recipe is clear. It now appears to be possible for anyone to grasp all of this, and to then establish some kind of ongoing conversation about it with a few people they know. This can now happen anywhere. So that is stage one and two complete - from which stage three will arise naturally, and all on its own. And that's all there is to it. If everyone simply did that, the future would be set. So what are you waiting for?" Silence has been the issue, as I say. So in the end, for enough people to begin talking about all of this might be all it was ever going to take in order to unleash the entire event in a way that will be unstoppable right from the moment it begins. It's not even that far away, and those who will initiate that wave deserve our support, so if we can get together and cheer them on then we will all have done our part. And this broader conversation seems to be what these new models are able to support. So I have to trust now. I have to throw this bird into the sky, and just see what happens. Will it fly? I really have no idea. I only know that I have done my part here now, and also that I am prepared to do more, the moment anyone steps up to the task at my level. It is only a very short journey from where we are now to the beginnings of that great cascading event. And I am ready today to join any team that clearly demonstrates they have what it takes to get that job done. So let me know. But if that's not you, if you are just a passenger here, then just pass it all upwards to the smartest person you know, and wait to see what happens. If you do only that one thing, then you will have done your part. Beyond that, you can just sit back, and observe the show. As complicated as it might seem, In the end it all boils down to a series of very simple YES or NO questions - Does this underlying event really exist as defined? And can it really be removed? Because if it does, and if it can, then we stand at the threshold of a new age of humanity as a whole, where we face the possibility of a type of change - a depth of change - and a speed of change - we have truly never seen before, and didn't even realise was possible. In any case, you can take a look for yourself now, and make up your own mind. See the links at the top. Or you might also see the latest brief outline here - 2EQ In A Nutshell - bearing in mind that this was written prior to the AI path opening up in such a dramatic way. Beyond that, there are also many other resources you might look at (see here, here, here, here, here, and here, etc - and many more private resources you may be offered if you decide to play the game associated more fully) but all of these have mostly been outdated now by the emergence of these chat models. That's all yesterday's news now. The books you will find there are all just early unedited manuscripts, and will no doubt be dramatically tidied up before long, so if you want one in this initial uncut form, now would be the time. But as indicated, everything I have ever written has turned out to be junk if this point of capture has not been reached first. So they were all failed paths in that sense, at least in their current form, until you reach that point of clarity. But AI seems to be able to arrange all of those old sticks and get a fire going without too much trouble now, and all of this information is already loaded into the models. Only then do people seem to like those old books, once that bubble has burst, because only then does all of that information begin to fall into place for them at last. Anyway, that's it. Whether or not you believe it doesn't matter at all, because if it is true then it is simply a fact, and the obvious applications will demonstrate that fact before long. That will be an event that cultural doubt will not survive. And that initial demonstration will happen almost right at the start, not at the end of some prolonged process of development. We are only talking about the Wright brothers at first, not a jumbo jet. So we just need to get a few smart people together and start tinkering in the right direction. What do we have to lose? But what might we stand to gain? We only need to explore it a little together, but if only everyone wasn't just so incredibly afraid! Ultimately, it is not to say that anyone should even look, let alone embrace the path it indicates. There is nothing you need to do, not if you are not interested. Most people won't be, and that's perfect. That was the lesson. Only a few will need to know all of this in order to make the insights available in practical form to everyone. And yet, those few will indeed need to know, so we are doing everything we can here to prepare the way for them. Why not have a crowd to cheer them on? The real point is that those few couldn't do this until now, that they didn't even have that option, because the essential key - the anatomy itself - was entirely missing. Nobody had this option. None of us. So all we are doing here is changing that. Now we can. Anyone can. As always, we remain open to any suggestions. HR PS - No real names please.
