Tall feathery tales of digital enigmas from a high birdy.

I really think that drat little twittering birdy of mine is smoking a kickass bong full of legalized pot and not sharing any of it. I did an hour-long meditation this afternoon during which he interrupted with his tweets in my ear about how Mom would be calling (something about possible printer trouble) and how I would need tech support for my own computer.

Harnessing the power of a core emotion’s physical energy.

I ran another meditation this morning, which revealed to me that the word “riddikulus” is to be used to transfer negative energy in the body generated by fear to its triggering source. That much is very clear to me. As far as the rest of the stuff along that vein? All I can say is, solutions for dealing with two core emotions down, “Five to go.”

The Call from South Dakota bird song.

While there’s always a good chance the little birdy is singing sweet nothings in my ear, for whatever reason, it seems to think that I’ll be hearing from my contact from South Decota’s Highway Patrol today if not Monday. I’ve already mentioned on this site that they were supposed to be finalizing the paperwork on their investigation of my brother’s fatal car crash on the morning of February 24, 2024.

My meditation mantra for negative energy transference.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been on the hunt for a single word that could teach my brain to channel the physical energy generated by racing thoughts back to their source. Today, before going to bed a quick Google search showed me that I had found that word.

Three-mile thoughts of a noontime riser.

They say that writing down three good things that happened during a day are a good way to end it. Dinner with friends at Brookside Terrace, getting at least three good blog posts posted on this site, and actually enjoying the three mile walk through Newton NJ, weather and all…

A personal tale of 110 Hz frequency focused meditation.

I took about 15 minutes this evening to run a meditation using a homemade 110 Hz binaural sound file courtesy of Audacity sound editing software. This meditation’s focus was on finding one word I could use to teach my brain how to imagine transferring the physical energy generated by racing thoughts of a person or situation to its triggering source. This way I can more efficiently move past the thoughts in a truly freeing manner. I believe it can be done efficiently, “The process just needing a little fine tuning.”

Unlocking intuition: A journey with ESP Trainer.

I discovered this game called ESP Trainer while reading about a government project involving Remote Viewing. So, in the latter part of 2020, I installed it on my iPhone figuring it shouldn’t be too hard to work with given the fact that Apple requires a reasonable amount of accessibility be built into apps offered through their app store. And… Yeah… “It certainly does work reasonably well with VoiceOver!”

Birdy sings echoes of intuition and the dawn of change.

I didn’t get out of bed until noontime today having initially crashed shortly after midnight. I woke at 3:00 AM this morning, returning to bed again around 5:00 AM. During that time, for nearly two hours I sat in my living room, playing Russell Targ’s ESP Trainer on my iPhone.

A tale of culinary adventure and aftermath.

I hit Dominic’s this evening for dinner and going there had the desired effect. I got out and moved, which helped shift my mood back to the plus side a bit. It cost me an hour’s time in the bathroom after but, “That’s what I get for being a lazy ass for a week!”

Reflections on loss, law, and life’s fragility.

In a world where every day is a winding road, the unexpected can happen at any turn. The recent news of my brother’s passing in a vehicle accident is in some ways a somber reminder of life’s fragility. The accident having happened in the early morning hours of February 24, 2024, it’s certainly a moment that calls for reflection, not just on the loss of life but also on the circumstances that surround it.

A mysterious birdy’s message whispered from spring street.

This morning, the little birdy was twittering away again, its song carrying a cryptic message that seemed to be directed at me. The melody was soft, yet the words it whispered in my ear were clear and insistent. It spoke of someone connected with 83 Spring Street, Newton, New Jersey, who was willing to take a significant risk on my behalf. This person, it seems, is prepared to put their job on the line to ensure that a door, whether currently open or not, is accessible to me.

Taking the win: Accomplishments, gifts, and ideas.

Well… I got some stuff done today. So… “I’m going to call that a win!”

I am in harmony with time.

I appreciate the present moment. I know that I have enough time for all that is important.

The apartment below: Keys and mysteries.

I heard the strangest thing once again this afternoon, and I noticed it was about 20 minutes before my downstairs neighbor came home from work, yacking away on her phone. Someone, who was clearly trying to be as quiet as possible entered the building, quickly turned my landing light on and off, and then went in her apartment. Despite their best effort, I couldn’t help but notice the fact that they walked all the way through the apartment and back out again in less than three minutes. I do not think it was her boyfriend, as they were wearing heavy work boots and, “They have a different kind of walk from his.”

Home Directory Backups for all client cPanel hosted websites complete.

While doing laundry, I’ve been backing up all WordPress and none-WordPress websites hosted on my servers. You never know when the creak is going to rise and having everyone’s stuff backed up is a beautiful thing. “Cloud storage in multiple secure locations totally rocks!”

A journey through self discovery and Reality Creation.

This morning, I woke feeling like something was different. My body felt light and relaxed, even though I went to bed around 1:00 AM and probably didn’t fall asleep until closer to 1:30 AM. But… Yeah… When I woke at 6:01 AM, “Something felt different!”

Illuminating the mind’s eye: Reflections on meditation, podcasting, and personal insights.

I ran off an hour-long meditation earlier this evening, looking for ideas on how to best podcast. While I was working the meditation, other thoughts about my family, neighbors, and my landlord kept coming up.

My all night success story working the art of productivity.

Who says you need a full night’s sleep to be productive in society? I’m starting to wonder why I bother with sleep at all. “It certainly has little use for me!”

Managing Time Anxiety plus other meditative insights.

Brian’s Podcast explores using Copilot to analyze his journal for dream patterns and other general insights. He shares affirmations to manage Time Anxiety, while emphasizing the importance of “I Am” statements and idea generation via consistent meditation.

Using Microsoft’s Copilot on A journey of insight and self-improvement.

This day’s 12:00 AM session with the free version of Copilot, where I delved into my journal entries dating back to January 1, 2023, was somewhat enlightening. The digital analysis, though I am skeptical about paying the subscription fee anytime in the near future, yielded valuable insights that have become somewhat of a guide in my quest for self-improvement.

Seeing AI: More than meets the eye at Newtonian Gardens.

A little while ago, I gave the Newtonian Gardens Property manager a box that has been sitting on my front porch since yesterday. The Seeing AI app on my iPhone is a beautiful thing, “Obviously helping more people than just me!”

Housing Program annual inspection notice 2024.

I get these official-looking letters from the State of New Jersey’s Department of Community Affairs Housing Program once a year. I pulled one out of my mailbox once again as a part of this year’s recertification on Tuesday. This letter notifies me that they need to come and inspect my apartment as a part of the recertification process. It’s part of the deal if I want the Section 8 Housing Program to continue helping me with my rent. “It’s also part of the deal for my landlord too if he wants to continue receiving guaranteed rent payments!”

A personal reflection on the opioid crisis and patient brokering in NJ.

I couldn’t sleep this morning and decided to Google, “Mental Health Industry Scam in NJ,” and came across an article in the Burgan Record that really made me stop and think. It was about the opioid epidemic in New Jersey, which, like much of the country, has seen a dramatic increase in opioid-related deaths over the past decade. The numbers have apparently risen from 1,096 deaths in 2012 to over 3,000 in recent years. The article pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic only made things worse, with addiction centers witnessing a big surge in demand for treatment.

A tale a birdy told me.

I took a two-hour nap late this afternoon that left me feeling stoned. But the way I woke from it might have something to do with that. “I woke abruptly because a little birdy was whispering unpleasantries in my ear!”

A story of thoroughness and appreciation in Section 8 Housing recertification.

I received notification from my case manager this morning about my Section 8 Housing Recertification, stating that everything thus far is in order. They also told me in their email that they really appreciate my thoroughness, too.

Balancing SEO and Principles as a Blind Webmaster.

Well… For the hell of it I took a look at my Google Webmaster Tools reports for The Bria Sphere this morning. As usual I closed out the report in disgust. I’m feeling like I can’t be bothered with what a company like Google says about my website when they are so Woke they can’t even be bothered to generate reports in accordance with Web Accessibility Guidelines. “So much for being Woke Google!”

April 17th inspection perhaps Goldberg Realty’s commitment to quality Living.

I got a notice from Goldberg Realty via email yesterday in forming me of a possible inspection of my apartment tomorrow. For Those who don’t know, Goldberg Realty owns and operates the complex where I live, “Newtonian Gardens Apartments.”

Epson ET-2803 printer isn’t blind friendly at all.

I tried a few remaining tricks to get things working right on my Epson ET 2803 color printer, I even used my iPhone to read the display on the printer itself with some success. But… “I was able to accomplish little on my own there!”

Enjoying the clarity of a midafternoon nap.

At 1:30 PM, I gave in to exhaustion and drifted into a brief sleep, going blissfully yet productively comatose for about two and a half hours. Upon awakening, I recalled the visions I had, them giving me the clarity I needed with regard to what to write here.

A blind man’s nightmare experience with an Epson ET-2803 printer.

I might have mentioned this before, but I’ll say it again simply because I can. As a blind individual, “Technology is a lifeline that connects me to the world.” However, it’s not without its challenges, especially when devices don’t function as expected. My Epson ET-2803 printer, usually a dependable tool, has now decided it’s a good idea to stop printing in color, “Despite my best efforts to maintain the machine as recommended!”

Predawn musings of a restless mind awake.

Well… I went to bed and dozed off a few times. But I don’t think I slept for more than fifteen minutes. So rather than lying awake in frustration after trying a few things that will normally help me fall asleep for at least an hour, “Here I am again!”

Sharing my journal here using advanced Remote Viewing techniques.

As I sit here, reflecting on the pages of my personal journal, I’m faced with a conundrum that’s both deeply personal and surprisingly universal. It’s the question of what to share and what to hold back when it comes to the thoughts and experiences I’ve poured onto these pages.

Joyfully exploring the therapeutic benefits of the Hitachi Magic Wand.

Back in January, I decided to pick up a Hitachi Magic Wand for myself. I know it is often hailed as the ultimate personal massager for women in intimate settings, solo or with a partner. But it has also garnered a reputation for its versatility and effectiveness in providing targeted relief from muscle soreness and tension. Apparently, some male professional athletes supposedly love the Magic Wand, “For just that reason alone!”

New JAWS for Windows 2024 Face in View feature.

I personally believe that JAWS for Windows Version 2024 has seen a significant upgrade with the introduction of the Face in View feature, finally putting it on par with the image related capabilities of the VoiceOver screen reader built into Apple’s iPhones and other products. This innovative feature is designed to enhance the video conferencing experience for visually impaired users, ensuring they are perfectly positioned within the camera’s view during calls.
