I’m doing laundry in Building 1 here at Newtonian Gardens Apartments on 70 West End Avenue as I write this. I’m one of the tenants who doesn’t have a washer and drier in my apartment and glad for that. I could only imagine what the vibration would be like if I did, especially if my downstairs neighbor and I did laundry at the same time. When she does wash, “The vibration from her machine spinning off can be felt all the way out into my living room at times.”
But that’s Goldberg Realty’s problem, right along with that of the building inspector who signed off on the job and that of my downstairs neighbor. If everyone is happy with the job, “Who am I to say otherwise.”
Going down here to do laundry has its advantages. It gets me away from the four walls of my apartment and it’s relatively quiet in this basement.
While the machines do their thing, I can read books like Tom Clancy’s Locked On on my iPhone and write blog posts like this one. This WordPress app is handy for that. If anyone else turns up, it might lead to a good conversation if nothing more.
I’m also looking forward to testing out meditation exercises down here. Given the suspected geology of this property, meditation in the basement of Building 1 here in Newton NJ might be more of a kick ass experience than it usually is in my second-floor apartment in building 2. “We shall see!”
I’ve been working my guided meditation at least once a day. I’ve realized that doing it just before bedtime is a mistake as it seems to increase my brain activity after all is said and done rather than lower it. It would seem that the act of taking off my headphones when finished wakes me back up again.
Therefore, we’ll be working the meditation stuff in general during the morning and afternoon but not in the evening. They say that going to sleep with a question in mind is more productive than just going to sleep letting your mind relax and drift. But that never seems to work for me.
More often than not, my dreams show me what I need to know during the night rather than what I want to know. Then there’s the change that seems to have taken place within my mind since I had COVID-19 in April of 2022.
Since I had the virus, I’ve noticed during meditations that I can lock on to a visualization or a simple affirmation statement for minutes at a time without any drift in thought. I never lost my sense of smell when I had COVID as many others have reported. This laserlike focus at lower brain frequencies seems to be the only side effect for me, which in some ways is to my advantage.
As far as my current guided meditation script is going, based on news I received last night, it seems to be having a desirable effect on my environment so, I’m going to stick with that for now. If the information I received is in fact true, this slight effect will be worth it as there will be more to follow. The information will be easy to verify on my next trip out, my source of said information being rather sketchy at times.
My guided meditation scripts are simply a tool designed to get the brain thinking in a specific direction at an unconscious level. This will either guarantee me a vision at the right time showing information as to what will likely happen next or open anopertunity up for me to take direct action. These opportunities are more often sensed than anything else. This is simply the thirty-thousand-yard view as to what the purpose behind my meditations are, “Without writing a novel!”
I’m on to the drying phase of doing laundry here. It usually isn’t a costly experience, this time around only ripping me off one dollar in coin so I could get the machine to accept a buck seventy-five. The thing is around here, you never know which washers and driers are the problem children because they never seem to be marked. Of course, they might be marked in a way this blind guy can’t see. However, I’m guessing that it just doesn’t get dealt with most of the time.
I guess that it’s probably better for Goldberg Realty to make things as difficult for people as possible so they can charge hundreds of dollars more in rent per month for an apartment that has a washer and drier in it, which probably shakes the shit out of the apartment if my experience with secondhand vibration is any indicator. At the end of the day though, I’m insured and, “It’s all Goldberg Realty’s problem.”
Most tenants are too selfish and too stupid to report this stuff. I could but don’t have an apartment with an offending machine in it. “Why should a blind person do the dirty work of a sighted neighbor anyway?”
