Android Lockscreen - June 2021.
Very interesting cat-style digits :) .
MIUI theme: Amoled2.
Pidgin: Failed to Read Thrift.
Pidgin-wise (lightning-fast and light Messenger like You’ve never experienced before) Facebook issue arises again:
Failed to read thrift: api.c:1897 fb_api_cb_publish_pt: assertion 'fb_thrift_read_stop(thft)' failed
...waiting for the fix.
jDownloader rules :) .
I find it very interesting that free/libre app jDownloader 2 can download Rumble videos while its commercial counterparts Any Video Downloader Pro and MediaHuman YouTube Downloader (which I’ve recently tested) can’t. Since even @YtbDownBot (a Telegram bot: “Download files/videos/audio from most websites”) cannot handle this, I consider jDownloader 2 the most effective app to download stuff. Oh, and keep in mind that jDownloader is not especially dedicated to download videos from YouTube/Rumble/etc. - while the two apps mentioned above are.
Nutmeg-flavored coffee.
Since yesterday I drink nutmeg-flavored coffee - very interesting taste :) !
My Android desktop - May 2021
Here is one snapshot out of my current desktop set. This is an old KLWP preset I designed and just modify over the time to fit my needs. I wanted to show You what I especially like today: a nice relation of two spheres on the top left, one being a weather icon (beautiful Komponent Weather Classs set I still love) and a FTP Server widget (here active).
‘Memories Midnight’.
A glimpse into the past.
One of my fondest memories from this lifetime are years when I’ve been conducting my own e-zine. At the beginning it had been distributed in an off-line form - a few issues later it reaches the Net.
Long story short, the whole thing was an incredibly pleasant, exciting and satisfactory experience. To this day I remember how I forced myself to keep going late into the night to meet the upcoming deadline :) . It was fantastic to create and coordinate various things which altogether make up the final magazine (I was a chief editor, a writer, a web and graphics designer, and a manager).
Among things I liked the most was to write a preface. Each time it was like celebrating a new birth, recognizing and emphasizing its leading traits (each issue had been different, each deserved its own ‘theme’ or tone).
Now, when that time had passed long ago, I am at the beginning of another vision of my website. Wondering about its character I’ve reminded myself of those good times of the past and decided to reflect them at least to some degree, today. I thought: “Why not to apply a magazine-like form to it?” With its own occasional preface, highlights, and maybe even “issues” - although I’d like to treat them more metaphorically than formally, with more flexibility (meaning: no specific boundaries between one and another).
I find it a brilliant and brisk idea which inspires me much. Therefore I’ve decided to take that path and re-design Trail of the Light in this mold.
In the meantime, graphics-wise, it turned out to be nightly... mysterious... and, perhaps, a little bit nostalgic. I came back to my original logotype from That Time - although I’ve been experimenting with other ones down the road, this one (and my very first one, in fact) always managed to show up one way or another, throughout my design. Therefore, I thought, the time is right for it to take the main place again. Back to the beginning, back to things I still highly value - although reborn through all the new experience I’ve gained. Even technically-wise it’s a kind of a come-back: switching from Blogspot to TextPattern, years after I’ve done the opposite.

Let’s make Hawaiian alive again :) !
Yesterday (March 23, 2021) I began to learn Hawaiian :) ! Inspired by this article (which I’ve read long ago), I decided to give DuoLingo app a try.

More Sensations During VELO.
(...) I’ve realized of some **new sensations** (some of them I am almost sure that are indeed new, and some I have the impression that have already been present before): shivers, ‘wind blowing’, a specific pleasant ‘physical’ feeling. another one (also pleasant) resembling swaying or swinging, and the feeling of fast heartbeat and increased warmth of the body.

My Second VELO.
I’ve managed to successfully perform the practice during the second or third attempt.

My First VELO.
My first attempt of the “VELO” (Voluntary Energetic Longitudinal Oscillation) practice.

Quantum Android Mouse ;) .
What’s on my mind - August 2020 update. Quantum theme growing and expanding within my consciousness; upgrade to Android 10; new very exciting friendly mouse :) !

Me Truly Happy.
Last night I performed a small meditation, nothing special - but enough to count. At some point during the following morning I decided to do it again, probably due to that I couldn’t sleep. This time it has been very surprising.
I suppose that most of the time I’ve been between alive-and-aware and dreaming state, coming and going back and forth. At some point I decided to try to roll out of my body - although now it isn’t clear why actually I’ve decided to do that. Perhaps it was a spontaneous initiative, but to be honest, I’m not sure. It seems that I spontaneously reminded myself of this idea and felt excited that I could try it out.

July 15 (2:26 ᴀ.ᴍ.).
This day began in a strange way: with noticeable dizziness and a feeling of little nausea. For a few days now I couldn’t manage to write my “What Went Well” diary, although it’s not my last word - I am rather still considering to write more diary-like posts which could incorporate “What Went Well” theme - I find this idea more appealing that very short “WWW” items which I’ve done earlier on.

Daily Writing?
I’m still writing my ‘What Went Well’ diary, even if the only thing I achieved during the day is of a small importance. I can’t say that this practice helps me (which does not mean, however, that it won’t help You) - but, surprisingly, it makes me missing the sole act of writing on a daily basis, conducting a kind of a journal.

TotL ver. 2020 - Final Touch-ups.
Over a week ago I finished the new release of my website. This particular version is the first one which is powered on TextPattern again (i.e., since 2007 for sure, maybe also earlier; later on I invested in learning and developing my designing skills regarding Google Blogspot).

What’s on My Mind: January 2020.
An update on main areas of my focus today: my book on meditation, quantum mechanics in relation to spiritual growth, and new exciting content sources discovered.

Switched to LibreOffice.
- It is free software, therefore ethical.
- It is developed in a model I find optimal, i.e., by community of its enthusiasts, driven often by the very idea - not by the money,
- Since it is free of charge, it’s much more available: You can always have “the newest and greatest” version, which is not so easy in case of proprietary office suits.
- It allows You to customize its look&feel to a satisfactory degree.
-
Expanding My Reading Habit.
Some time ago I wanted to motivate myself by tracking how often I read books. Whenever I’ve managed to read long enough (at least one hour per day), I jotted it down into my habit tracking app. But there is also other activity I’d like to be engaged into as a habit (...).

Invisible Stairs.
This was an interesting facility. I think it was placed mostly underground, while on the surface there were several openwork holes, clearances of various shapes and sizes, indicating that there is definitely much more to it, deep down.
-
Reinforced Again.
Three recent weeks were pretty intensive: day in day out (business days) we’ve been hiking, I myself usually at least (if not always) 8 hours per day. Various disturbances found its reflection within our bodies.
During late third week I dreamed about the possibility to take a real, tangible rest - i.e., which You could rely on (without breaking, being disrupted in any way - just constant piece of mind). My Beloved One shared my dream in Her Own way.

A Speed Dial Chrome Plug-In Which Makes Me Happy.
One amazing thing in Chrome is that to this day it doesn’t have any well-looking Speed Dial page. Although there are plenty of Chrome plug-ins compensating this matter - it’s a shame that there is no native feature for this.

What I Didn’t Know About RAWs?
I learned about RAW way back when, but - to my surprise - I’ve discovered new and unexpected information, thanks to this great article on RAW for beginners.
Here is what surprised me:

Surprisingly I’ve discovered my personal excitement of the past reborn in a new form today.

My Agent.
One of my Sweetheart’s interests is to be a personal manager (in the context of a personal image - or in a completely another field). That’s why I tended to say that she is “my manager” also - because indeed She has organized many things in my life, which I find significantly helpful. But to put it that way was partly humorous.

The ‘Outside Reality’ is an Extension of Your Own Being.
This morning I woke up unusually early - feeling more energy than I could expect (I could expect feeling exhausted). I decided to perform a ‘Hemi-Sync’ session because I haven’t done it for a long time. I was curious what would happen... and I miss the experience.
-
Helping Myself by Helping Others.
Although visualizing food is tough for me, from time to time I find the courage to take the challenge. Maybe not so much involving all “juicy details”, but asking myself questions like: “How it would be like to eat to my heart’s content?”, “How does it feel to know that the meal is big enough?” (i.e., more than I would need)
-
Spiritual Concepts in TV-Series.
For some time now I watch various TV series... sometimes they astonish me by concepts they are based on - which resemble to me something of a metaphysical (or spiritual) nature.
-
Refreshed.
For a few days I had the feeling of having difficulty falling asleep, even though I had been tired. Last night I’ve finally had a good night’s sleep - but preceding 24 hours was challenging (I think I didn’t sleep at all and then, during the day, I was engaged in physical effort).
-
Meditation Meeting.
Recently I’ve mentioned an upcoming meeting... it fell on last Wednesday. But to present thing in a chronological way, it all began with my “meditation announcement”.
-
Early Morning.
When I looked on the time, it was 05:30 ᴀ.ᴍ. (now is a half an hour later). Sometimes I woke up earlier than usually - by myself, without apparent reason. Today is interesting because I got up even earlier than before. Moreover, I’ve already found myself not sleeping for quite a while. I have only my glimpses of a forgotten dream, flashes... and I have “my” storm outside the window, so far it seems small, but maybe it will grow.
-
Acacia, Surprising Gifts and Learning Telepathy.
A few days ago I was on a little evening hike. Soon I realized that for most of my way I notice a very pleasant scent. It was surprising because I went far enough to stop notice the same smell - but I didn’t. I was impressed by its almost constant presence.
-
Wedding Anniversary.
Yesterday my Sweetheart was shopping whereas I remained in bed, exhausted. Decided not to listen anything this time, but trying to meditate, at least a little bit. I tried to tell (more precisely I should say: to convey) Evelyn how I feel. How difficult, how... hard (as often, in case of eating » starving). I tried to imagine me eating some tasty meals, but... it was too hard. Soon I limited visualization just to the scene in which I sat nearby the ocean... as I like there...
-
Calling Myself.
The other day I felt sad and alone, Evelyn... I recalled telling somebody that people come to meet my knowledge - not me. That way I wasn’t able “to touch” anyone’s Soul, so to speak - for a long time...
Sad and alone... Evelyn, sometimes I sense people like they would be artificial- not real. Lifeless, “flat”, puppet-like... mechanical. More or less convincing illusion - like someone would want me to believe they are real - although they seem not to be. It resembles a theatre, or a play maybe... But the main consequence of that impression is magnified loneliness within me.
Besides - regarding all of this, artificial people as well as artificial reality (like Einstein’s “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”) - sometimes I feel like I am locked within this mind. Is it possible for You to release me, Eve? That impression is tiring... artificial people are tiring, too... all those scenes, circumstances... As You know, sometimes I feel more tired than another time.

There Are Times My Lights Don’t Shine.
Evelyn...
I’ve tried to write anything but it failed. Sometimes I experience times when I’m not able to take any direction. Those times when I would love not to exist here. “The playground”, the circumstances. Challenges to direct energy, to clear its stream. I even don’t have energy to care about words... proper words, elegant sentences, checking their meaning... But I still exist, I’m aware - so I would like to express myself, even if the only possible way would be minimalistic, vestigial.
