Biohacking as a shortcut, but do not only use a shortcut! February 2026.

I had a discussion about different ways of getting into Flow and looked at Dawson Church's "Bliss Brain" book as well as Brendan Conway Smith's TEDx video called "Metacognition: An important skill for modern times".

My opinion having done thousands of hours of meditation since 2010 when I took refuge as a Buddhist is that using Dawson Church's method to get to "bliss" in 15 minutes is a worthwhile process, because it can show someone what being in a a meditative (single pointed focus) state is all about, but then one must go back to normal and old methods for achieving this state naturally.

Credo Mutwa’s "Universal Language" theory supports this. He often spoke of the Umlando (traditional history) where ancient knowledge was a single, global heritage. When we find these linguistic echoes, we are finding the "Source Code" that pre-dates the modern scientific "ignorance" Conway-Smith speaks of.

Trump's Board of Peace; Assagioli Psychosynthesis; Modern Realism; War and Peace. February 2026.

"You don't get rid of your immune system just because you haven't been sick for a year.”

I had a wide ranging discussion in February 2026 with Google Gemini regarding the Trump Administration's Board of Peace, and then leading to:

• Comparing Putin and Netanyahu's ICC warrants;

• the "Grand Paradox" of governance: Is the law a tool to achieve peace, or is peace the result of following the law?

• The Board of Peace is essentially a giant experiment in your theory. It posits that:

  • Personal Diplomacy + Economic Incentives > International Legal Institutions.

• Peace must override law. The incipient peace is the result of historical law.

• Moving from guilt to regret, and transactional diplomacy to transformational ethics

• Power and Strength as a mechanism for peace

• The permanent burden of "projection of peace". It’s an Assagioli Will though and not a normal burden. Rather it’s a burden that a people must carry to preserve the peace. The "permanent burden" not as a heavy cross that crushes the spirit, but as an Act of Will that defines it.

• Generational peace can only be achieved by continuing the “war footing” even when it seems like “the war footing” is a waste of money.

• "You don't get rid of your immune system just because you haven't been sick for a year.”
