Lavitz

Good tidings!I've set up a Substack and am setting up a website & several other things. The editor behind this blogging platform is lacking significantly, from composing options to lack of categorization. Sad.https://lavitz.substack.com/https://lavitz.notion.site/Lavitz-Notes-35f3b08fe383476898d2a6298796712chttps://lavitz.online/The re-genesis post. All too often I have been paralyzed by starting a project; especially writing because I have so much to write about. Do I give a necessarily len...

I’m just a guy. A guy who loves to think about and do almost everything, even if not very well. A guy who spreads himself thin across a hundred different pursuits and would probably benefit from prescription medications but prefers to live enraptured in the creative chaos. A guy who has been making incredible self-development progress but is also, in some ways, right back where he was a decade prior. I’m just a guy who loves to walk around and behold the miracles of nature. A guy who wants to t...

Notes taken during a webinar hosted by Sarah Rozenthuler and the Scientific And Medical Network, my 20th or so SMN webinar. At the end of this post I begin exploring what my purpose really is - something that's always evolving. I've been going back and forth whether I should publish webinar notes to this blog, but I think I will, and may upload notes of past webinars eventually.The pandemic has certainly caused many/most people to ask "why?" - "why am I doing x" or "why does x matter"“The sculpt...

It is now thoroughly impossible for me to not believe in miracles, synchronicities, fate, destiny, the Universe, "Source" or "God". There's some metaphysical fabric that weaves together timelines and fates.It may not seem like much at first, but I randomly encountered someone in New York City I had just met online a week prior. Not at some event venue or mutual place of interest but on the street at 1:30am on the same block as my Airbnb.Miracles, synchronicities, impossible coincidences - proof ...

Originally streamed March 20, 2022. Held as potential lyrics, now dumping just to get them off my mind. I'm still sitting on a lot of lyrics.Imagine if we could see all the stars againWhat would we imagine not listening to charlatansWhy did we build a thousand suns for the night?Wouldn't have much crime if basic needs were metI have no ill will or contempt toward my fellow manIt's only selfish world leaders I can't standSpineless and visionless sticking to a tattered manuscriptGotta change with ...

A 2021 stream of consciousness: a mini life-review initiating the sweeping transfiguration of body & mind this year where I indeed quit multiple addictions, lost all the fat & weight gained since high school, unlocked mental clarity & memory, and more. It all begins with a little self-talk - recognizing a problem, admitting it, and determining to change. It might take a year, or longer, but it will happen with honest self-reflection & perseverance!I read some of my journal entrie...

Summary: A short story of an IRL encounter. Initially hastily tweeted on May 31, 2022.On my long drive home westward from Virginia, I stopped for a perhaps foolishly long but absolutely fascinating detour in Charlottesville at, what I thought was a rare book store according to Google Maps, a residence-business of a man who curates and sells entire collections for libraries (and apparently buys and manages libraries too). It was off I-64 down some dirt road prefaced with a "Private Property - Do ...

Summary: My first blogpost summarizing some highlights and my thoughts from a webinar I attendedScience and Beyond: Toward Greater Sanity through Science, Philosophy, Art, and SpiritualityI wasn't taking notes with the intention of writing a blogpost initially, so this post is more just a collection of quotes and ideas from the presentation. If I choose to continue this type of blogpost then I will give extra effort to provide more structure and coherency. Also: if this blog gets dense in conten...

New blog post: Self-Censorship - exposing my authentic creative self. Living life in the moment and creating "content" one step at a time, never forcefully, never trying.Our brains can generate thoughts that are scrambled, ideas that are foggy, emotions that are confusing. Writing is an effective way to organize and analyze them, but should they be shared with others in raw stream of consciousness or filtered for society?Perhaps it depends on your mindset when writing/creating/streaming. A fil...

"I have nothing to prove"Words are powerful. Words are magical. Even saying aloud "words are magical" frequently will make one realize the hidden power of the statement. "I have nothing to prove" is one affirmation whose repetition will reshape the conscious and subconscious mind. There are dozens of ways this statement applies to life and I won't cover them all here.The last several months have been immensely positive and transformational for me. I have uprooted deeply-held negative beliefs and...

    "it's there where you left it when you need it again"I haven't yet searched if "egotrap" is a real word or concept; I'm sure it is and I will search momentarily but this is the word that came to mind as I thought to write a new post. To me it describes the numerous times I tripped over myself going too fast or established arbitrary unharmonious rigidity to my schedule or outflow of ideas and productivity. Confining my output to once a day without break is disingenuous. Naturally I may ebb an...

Summary: Retrospection on failing to maintain daily posting and other habits. I have failed dozens of times in my life to replace bad habits with good ones, but I keep picking myself up and trying again!After two full weeks of super-average progress, discipline and abstinence from lazy behavior, I allowed myself one more time, for science and for the holidays, to pull the rug and see to what I naturally gravitate. I shouldn't be surprised, after more than a thousand days wasted to addictive cons...

Today I shall share with you a high school English project my sixteen year old self made. I believe the criteria was to create and decorate a mask and write a sort of poem or prose inspired by "We Wear The Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar. I remember having the most outlandish/"crazy" project when presenting to the class - I exposed myself and my contention with a sort of dual personality I seemed to assimilate. I also had a way with words at that point in my life, and am kinda proud of those works...

Good morning! Or, Grand Rising! as TikTok etymologists would say. They do have a point: words have far more power than we are initially led to believe. The "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" is only surface-level. Even the strongest of confidence and ego are affected on a subconscious level and are susceptible to erosion. The argument is words are spells, and I find it hard to disagree. Ancient civilizations certainly believed so, whether they actually practiced ...

Despite beginning my day great with exercise, yoga, and meditation on procrastination, I procrastinated writing this post. I even wrote an outline but I chose to do a lot of behind-the-scenes work instead. I didn't forget about this blog, but today was destined from the beginning to be a little rough. I survived. I also started getting more involved in supporting my friends with their art or other interests, spent time with family, and some housekeeping. I did not boot up a game; I stayed as pro...

I maybe shouldn't feel compelled to write every day but I did start this blog with the intention of writing daily for #100Days. I did have an idea for a post earlier today but I distracted myself down multiple rabbit-holes until now. I procrastinated. It deserves a little more effort, so instead I will just give a little update about this website and my life? And honestly the trading posts probably shouldn't count or maybe I shouldn't congest this blog with them. They could be on another page or...

I am really intrigued by, and partial to, the notion that ideas and inspiration are energetic waves that travel through the universe or through whatever metaphysical media and are intercepted by minds, perhaps related to the pineal gland, and perhaps in priority of spiritual attunement to this flow. The more at ease your mind - free from mind-altering substances**, anxiety, stress, anything that create blockages - the more attuned and receptive you are to imagination, inspiration, ingenuity.Stay...

I find myself having another writer's/creative block these last couple days; maybe because of poor sleep and not enforcing a daily routine, or maybe because it's just the ebb and flow of inspiration. Writer's block is also said to not really exist, and its cure is to simply write anything no matter how good or bad, because the good will always eventually happen. Not every effort has to yield desired results and not every day has to be a "good" day (though any day alive truly is good).It is diffi...

"Le meglio è l'inimico del bene"Perfectionism (noun) - A propensity for being displeased with anything that is not perfect or does not meet extremely high standards.Or, in my words: the paralysis of passion and willpower due to false pretense and expectation resulting from misguidance or trauma, usually unjustified with no prior achievement of perfection of any kind in any form; a mostly self-imposed delusional mental prison.Not novel information; quite common actually. Resolvable by acknowledge...

Breathe. Relax. Sense. Exist and be grounded. A wonderful time is upon us: a time for action, a time for change, a time for courage and strength! Invest in yourself, and be met with an abundance of wisdom and revelation. Yet, be grounded - breathe, listen, feel, exist... look at who, what you are! Oh, the circumstance of existence! Life is quite preposterous, yet profound; zany, yet harmonized; a bitch, yet our High Priestess. Breathe. Allow light to come in; feel lifted by it. It is warmth. An...

Error 418 I'm a teapot Really enjoying StandardNote + Listed right now. Might become one of my favorite apps of all time. Going to attempt the #100Days challenge. I write a couple times a week in my physical journals, so I will attempt to increase that frequency and share some of those thoughts with the metaverse. Really want to establish branding/theme. Celestial cephalopod vibe. And starting in this astrologically significant month I will finally end this seven-year long cycle of self-disem...
