Hello my friends, I wanted to make a special more reflective post for everyone here about my recent book launch, the Khemset Holistic Poker Codex. My X post can be seen here: https://x.com/luckychewy/status/2114104852364279979 Whilst writing the book, I had an interesting realization which matched up quite nicely with the content I was writing about. After many days spent editing and refining the text, I eventually realized that I was trying to speed run the completion of the book – for understandable reasons, it’s time consuming and there’s many other obligations I have, not to mention things I enjoy like family, friends, etc. The insight came in the form of recognizing that the process itself has to be enjoyable or there’s really no point. Interestingly, upon realizing this, I felt less pressure and my progress became expedited. It was wonderful and felt very cathartic to experience the paradox first hand of joy being equated with efficiency. Although I oscillated back and forth between these feelings as the process continued it served as a wonderful reminder that if I feel pressure, it’s always pressure I’ve put on myself, and while that can at times be useful it primarily isn’t self-serving. It also occurred to me that the more I enjoy the process of writing it, the more likely readers are likely to enjoy the process of reading because of the subtlety conveyed by the state of being I’m in during the creative process. I’m curious to hear from anyone here who has undertaken similar creative acts and might have any similar insights or realizations of the sort. Thanks for reading and my best wishes as always.

Hello to the new comers and greetings to those who have been here! This past weekend we hosted our 2nd ever Khemset event where we explored intuition and the frameworks that support this extra-sensory ability. It's incredible what can happen when people come together and all have the same intention to open their hearts and feel more of what is here, right now. The whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. My amazing wife Alyssa did a fantastic job taking us through an inner smile meditation, explaining Chinese medical philosophy as it pertains to intuition, and leading a Qi Gong session with the beautiful Mount Charleston as a backdrop in the fresh mountain air. After each event we get better and better at understanding how to make the most out of the experience. Thanks to all who came and looking forward to meeting more of you at the next one! 🧙‍♂️❤️🙏

@Andrew Lichtenberger I really enjoyed the content you added and the conversations with Laak and Rast in episode 16 and can’t wait for episode 17 to hear Dr. Radin.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Andrew Lichtenberger ?

I’m not generally much into big birthday celebrations, but I do like taking meaningful actions that I’ll remember. Last time my family went out for a nice meal, and today I spent time working on finishing my second book (more to come on this soon). I also took some time to draw what I’ve heard described as “sacred circuitry”. The idea seems to be that these symbols are representative of the actions associated (written below them). They also seem to have a story boarding element to them, as they themselves expand and grow from 1-15. The recommendation associated is to meditate on them each for 1 minute a day, 3 days in a row, going in order - and then let your creativity take over and guide you if so desired. I’ll be giving it a go over the next few days myself. What do you think about this? Has anyone heard of it before and if so any experiences working with these symbols?
