Welcome.

It's really not that complicated. It's just that we can't see it. The seemingly chaotic mess that is typical human psychology conceals a secret, a hidden aspect, almost like a parasite in a sense.

This is the foundation of what we loosely call '2EQ', but just that fact that this other thing exists is not the big news, the really important thing is that it might be removed. And here we get to see the reason for the name. There is the state where we have this added activity rampaging around freely within us and causing all manner of mayhem, and then there is the state where all of that has been summarily removed. But because this added event is both singular in nature and very stable in effect, the transition between these two states is inherently very turbulent and stressful, thereby separating them with a peak of emotional tension that can be difficult to penetrate, especially without very targeted assistance. Hence we see two very different states, two stable equilibriums - 2EQ.

The other thing to know about this activity is that it is completely invisible to conscious awareness, and not accidentally so. Concealing something is its very purpose for existing, so concealing itself is necessary in order to achieve that function. And this aspect accounts for where all of this has remained so hidden for so long, as well as the price of awareness in this instance. It turns out to be a very big deal, but it also means that you will need to look, and that merely looking in this instance is not the mundane activity it might seem. Given what's at stake, and just how profoundly concealed it all was, just the willingness to point your own curiosity in this direction can have profound implications.

Just the idea that there might be any element of typical motivation and experience that is not intrinsic to us would be a bombshell, especially if this meant that it could be either modified or removed entirely. But for there to be a significant aspect of who we are that is at root surplus to requirements in a sense, and especially if that body of activity caused a great deal of conflict and confusion, would be a possibility so dramatic that most people couldn't even begin to appreciate it. And this brings into view the radical moral impetus associated. It would mean that there is literally a possibility standing right in front of us in a sense for a personal transformation of a kind that really can't be explained or predicted except by this framework, but also one that might quite easily be made broadly accessible over time based on collective awareness of all the various structures and functions associated.

Therefore, this is the first thing to know about what 2EQ proposes. It is epic. It is not only staggeringly significant in terms of the outcome state it points to, but especially in relation to the mechanism associated - which is a kind of cascading release of this hidden event in all people, like a kind of propagating wave, almost like a cultural explosion in many ways. And this part really is quite strange, in that we nevertheless manage to sit around talking about it quite casually, as if it is merely interesting. But as you will see for yourself if ever you reach the point where the anatomy associated becomes clear to you, this is kind of an in-joke amongst those who know. It's a bit like playing pass the parcel with a nuke. It is a very big deal, and it could all happen very rapidly once it ignites at the right level.

The other main thing to know is something we have already indicated, but which may not yet be entirely clear. You can tell people any story you like, you can tell them a big story or a small story, a red story or a blue story, a high story or a low story - but you cannot ever tell them this story, because this story is banned.

This is not to say that it is banned at a cultural level, even though that is largely true also. But the main issue is in the individual person, as a result of the very thing being indicated. Its purpose is to make you blind to itself, to sever any bridges that might eventually lead back to awareness becoming established on any stable basis. And this includes making you effectively deaf to any story that includes any kind of mirror that might bring its own activity to light.

In this context we see the origins of what you see here, as well as the history associated. It was very difficult to find in the first place. It remains unclear if even this aspect has ever occurred before. But that was nothing compared to the marathon associated with making it openly available in some meaningful sense. As we look back it can be seen like a rat in a maze in a sense, and that pretty much every wrong turn needed to be taken before the right one would emerge, which generally turned out to be the least natural or intuitive option. And even in some of the most recent works you can see me working some of this stuff out, like that rat squeezed itself though the last few bottlenecks to reach this point of freedom at last.

We now appear to have landed on some kind of final recipe here now, a combination we have yet to try at any broad level, but where all of the individual parts have now been tested in isolation.

The first key to all of this was obviously to have the right information in the first place, and this part we probably have in spades here now. For a long time I imagined this was what must be missing, so I just kept on piling up more and more, without realising that this was not the issue at all. I was drawing maps that nobody could follow.

This led to the next key thing - direct personal dialogue. Instead of drawing convoluted maps, it was eventually discovered that I could simply take people by the hand and lead them to the necessary point of clarity - what we have since chrome to call 'capture'. But this then led to another strange conundrum we never could have prepared for until this barrier had been overcome - which is that not everyone is able to easily articulate such complexity in any confident way, not to mention how few seem to embody the particular combination of courage and honesty associated, along with the required degree of moral development.

It had long been understood that only very few would need to be associated with any initial development relating to the way all of this will unfold in the early stages, but it was never so clearly obvious that awareness of the entire event might best remain limited to only those few in the first instance. So what this meant at the end of the day was that the dialogue being suggested would most likely need to be directed toward only those few who might in some way be deemed most suitable or naturally qualified in some sense.

So this is the current recipe, a kind of experiment in a sense. The idea will be to bring just a few of the right people to this initial point of clarity by the most effective means available, which still seems to be in direct conversation with me. It sounds a bit strange, but not really. It wasn't that long ago that people did actually talk to each other in real life, even about very important subject matter in some instances. It's hard to believe, but it's quite true. They actually had meaningful two-way conversations.

It also struck me today that this probably sounds like what you seem to see in every Facebook post about some kind of online seminar that requires you to get on a zoom call with a whole bunch of people, presumably so as to hook you into buying something at the end of the day. But that's not what this is. I get nothing from offering this possibility, indeed it might even be a decidedly dangerous activity given what's at stake. I am certainly reluctant to show my face at this stage, given that doing so would have little positive impact on any of the meaningful outcomes associated. I also won't be doing this with many people, which is another difference - I can only assume that most of those so-called live seminar type gigs are actually prerecorded, which is how they are able to scale.

None of that is true here. Instead of that, imagine I was a retiring professor who was ready to pass on a single very important insight to only a very select bunch of people who might be able to grasp it. They wouldn't even need to do anything about it, because in this instance that's not the bit that's missing. Awareness is the missing part - understanding and comprehension. So that will be the only aim in the first instance.

Hence, the current path here would look something like this -

• Make your way through the various intros and primers provided.
• Show up for a single long form conversation with me in person, just to chew the fat.
• Decide for yourself what comes next, if anything. There is no obligation whatsoever. But most likely you will want to either run like hell or explore further.
• Next would come the deeper exploration in the form of a series of conversations together with a select group of others, for which you would need to be selected. We generally call this series 'icebreaker' in that the resulting dialogue should ideally provide a clear entry pathway into all of this for anyone else who decided to follow those tracks in the snow. Once again this is entirely optional, and will not be open to all.

Beyond that will not be for us to say. The true conversation will then have been seeded at a far wider level, thereby enabling anyone with sufficient intellectual horsepower to make positive headway against the torrent of unconscious force that will tend to prevent such insight from penetrating this particular territory. A balance will then have been tipped, and all of the obvious downstream consequences of that will then become inevitable over time.

We might sometimes talk about those implications in various different contexts, but the whole point is that many of these milestones will become automatic and unavoidable beyond a certain point of capture being achieved, and that this critical mass will be reached very early on in the current context. The main missing piece was the anatomy itself, and that had been captured fully some time ago. So all we are really doing now is formulating that information into a format that is broadly compatible with the particular audience associated in the first instance, and for that we need to actually speak to those people. That's all it is. We just need to get that rebound, and to do that again and again until it becomes clear enough which direction we need to be shooting. Without that we are basically working in the dark, and so writing becomes impossible.

Basically, in order to write it all down just once in any truly robust and reliable manner, you need to first have said it a hundred times, to a hundred different people, all of whom broadly represent the audience you are aiming at.

In any case, that is what 2EQ is all about. It is about having what it takes to just jump in and take a look. All I can do now is answer questions. There might be no safe way, no clean way, no right time, no being ready. There are only the right people, and if we can find them then nothing else will matter.

That's all we are left with now. But it will certainly be enough. It might not work off the page, but we are miles over the line here in dialogue. Even chatting on a forum would probably do it just as well. It just can't be a one-way event, as we are doing here.

In particular, you will find that initial 'orientation' possibility outlined in the Shallow End Invite document, so that is where you will need to begin. Then you could take a look at the introductions and primers etc, as you will see them listed below in various forms, or perhaps see the NEW PRIMERS for the most recent iterations. But sooner or later you will need to heed the warning just offered and take that plunge. You simply must have this ‘orientation’ chat before you go too far up this tree, if you are not going to completely waste your time here. You would certainly be missing the mark by reading any of the big books prior to doing that, because they will all just go straight over your head in that case. Trust me.

Conversely, once you do achieve this basic 'capture', all of those will open up like flowers in the sun. We won't need to talk at all further after that initial chat, although by then you might certainly want to. The deep end is fun once you can swim, and there is a lot more to see that has never been written down.

But yes, you will need to have been invited, and that's why we will be trying to keep this page on the downlow. The very last thing this needs is broad public exposure. You will have been provided with my direct email in that case, in order to get access to the deeper materials for free.

Beyond that, however, and if it happens that you have somehow stumbled upon this page randomly in a sense, and if you nevertheless think you might qualify, then you can always contact us here with some outline of your interest. Or even if you think you have already grasped it in essence and would simply like to join the conversation, then once again, be in touch. You never know. We might at least be able to kick the ball around a little, just to see if you can play. But I suppose the forum is there for this purpose in the end, so that would be the place to start. Ask a decent question and you will get a decent answer.

In the meantime there is really only one thing we need to be focused on here, which is to prepare the way for a far bigger event, for when the applications arrive rather suddenly at some point. With this in mind this website is just kind of a placeholder at this early stage, a blank slate, an empty stage upon which all manner of things might emerge over time. Feel free to login and have your say.

Until then, you might start off with a few of the older resources available at this point -

• The Wonky Weeble (the simplest overview of what 2EQ is all about). (free video)

• The Snapshot Overview from Something Else (a first attempt to capture the shallow end chat sequence in writing) (free audio)

• Deep End Summary from Something Else (explaining the stages) (free audio)

• The Easy Book (paid audiobook)

• The Hard Book (the ‘Magnum Opus’ of 2EQ - several candidates being discussed, some already published as indicated below)

For further orientation about what - and who - this forum is for, you might also see some of the items linked from some of the posts in the Orientation and Resources sections.

Several books can also be found here in print copy and eBook formats, along with a Patreon page here where you will find audio versions. But as I say, if you have not already read the Shallow End Invite then you will basically be wasting your time with all of that. The books will be like locks with no keys. These books are in most cases also only early unedited manuscripts, and will no doubt be significantly tidied up before long, so if you want to get one in its original raw state then now would be the time.

Overall, the purpose of this website is not to broadly promote the paradigm associated - it is simply not that sort of thing. This is not a social movement, it is not a club to belong to, it is not even a philosophy to adopt. There is nothing to believe here. There is only a small process to initiate, and a very big outcome to achieve.

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, and with that in mind we are doing everything we can here to prepare the way for them.

Please be aware, however - and as we have hopefully already indicated here throughout - that some people are always going to find the subject matter more than a little challenging, in which case some sort of negative reaction can be expected. Apart from anything else 2EQ is a very fierce mirror, and some people simply don't like that sort of thing.

With all of this in mind, it might eventually be necessary to approve all posts - leaving them in a moderation queue by default. That would be regrettable, but I suppose we will find out before long. We will start by leaving the General Forum open and see how it goes.

We remain open to any suggestions.
