Post DayDreaming set back, I’ve been a sluggish passive viewer of puffs no matter how silent. I took advantage of it and changed my darkroom sessions and have recently noticed my inner silence is cleaner for longer.
Today I watched the attached graphic form in a puffy purply/blue blob and was able to hold it long enough to get the details shown - Fingers crossed it was 3 IOBs here to love me long time….

Left and right side are both pleased to come out and sit with you when you are silent (covered mouth).
Just a thought that struck me. Nice vision.
Your thought makes sense to me, I am a motormouth and it’s a scrap to silence my internal dialogue.
(If that’s a female me, life will come to a screeching halt and I’ll get nothing done if I have boobies of my own - lol).

tell us more about this 3 iob? or one with just alternative forms?
What you see here is all I know. I didn’t interact.
Remember: Some people need to be "creative" in order to get rid of the internal dialogue.
Maybe try Taisha's not-doings from Esalen. The one where you grab energy to the left and fight, and the one where you pull something out of your forehead.
Then maybe try other things, to invoke the "intent" to have deeper silence?
Keeping in mind, what exactly you pick, probably isn't as important as that you made the effort.
I have been doing Taisha’s Not-Doing randomly since it was posted. It’s not working as well as the other one you gave me to do.
I actually grab "space" when I do that one, and it visibly warps.
And I can feel it too.
A little...
It drives the Allies nuts!
I have a MAGA hat and I don’t live or speak Americano. USA USA USA! 🇺🇸
We'd lose 3/4ths of the Castaneda community.
They tend to be angry leftists. I suppose it goes along with believing in magic?
Or wanting to be "superior" to others.
Even back in the time of Carlos, private class people tried to get him to agree that Ronald Reagan was evil, for creating homelessness by closing down mental institutions, thus forcing people to make "Will work for food" signs.
Carlos just chuckled as if agreeing, but didn't actually do that.
Of course, in a year or two people realized those "will work for food" signs were total scams.
And Regan didn't close the hospitals. It was lefty judges who wanted to let everyone out.
I suppose Cholita wouldn't be free if they hadn't done that?
Which would be my loss for sure.
Oh ya, there’s a lot of lefty new age juicers here. Three quarters is too conservative an estimate 😂
I don’t care or like either side, left vs right is how the gov and those in power keep ppl poor and stupid. What a brilliant maneuver making ppl hate each other over politics, while they steal the wealth and chip away at rights. That’s real sorcery right there.
I wonder if the conquistadors made the old seers laugh at first, with their pomposity and self importance.

Summary: The Spaniards and Their Smell According to Indigenous Chronicles
When the Spaniards arrived in the Mexican highlands, the Nahua peoples received them by burning copal incense, an act described in the Florentine Codex (Book XII) and in Bernal Díaz del Castillo’s chronicles. For the Mexica, burning copal was a ritual of purification, but also a way to dispel the foul stench of the newcomers — men covered in metal, sweat, animal grease, and dirt after months of travel.
The contrast was immense. Mesoamerican peoples bathed daily, used plant-based soap (amolli), temazcal steam baths, and floral perfumes, while the Spaniards rarely washed, wore unwashed clothes for weeks, and slept beside their horses and dogs.
Modern authors —such as Matthew Restall and Alfredo López Austin— interpret that the Mexica saw the Spaniards as impure and foul-smelling, which is why they heavily smudged them with copal. The MexicoLore project humorously sums it up: “Clean Aztecs, Stinky Spanish.”
Thus, copal served both as a ritual offering and as an olfactory and spiritual disinfectant against the “stinking” invaders —a symbol of the profound clash between two radically different conceptions of cleanliness, the body, and the sacred.
