Activities

eye gazing (prolonged eye contact)

Request: It is prevalent in some spiritual communities. It may be a profound way of connecting when intentional and consensual, and could also be very socially awkward and inappropriate in other situations.

recreational drinking

Request: Drinking, as a pastime, way to socialize, bring people together, etc.

elliptical exercise

Request: a full body, low impact exercise machine that can be used in a gym or at home. How do they compare to other exercise? Exercise gyms in general are calibrated at 320 in TvF.

learning foreign languages

By request.

reading the Consciousness Calibrations Database

"I find regularly reading the Consciousness Calibrations Database gives one a positive feeling and relieves anxiety. What does this activity calibrate at?"

baptism

A sacrament of admission to Christianity. Almost invariably involves the use of water and the Trinitarian invocation, “I baptize you: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” The candidate may be wholly or partly immersed in water.

gardening

"active participation in the growing of plants, and tends to be labor-intensive" -- wikipedia.

virtue signaling

Expression of a moral viewpoint with the intent of communicating good character -- wikipedia.

transcribing Doc lectures as a spiritual practice

Request: Typing out the things that Doc has said in his lectures. Sentence by sentence. Something I wanted to do before and now the idea came back into my mind. Is it worth doing as a spiritual practice?

"read the room" vs. "set the tone"

Leadership postures. Also calibrated: "lead from behind."

walking as contemplation

Many geniuses were known for taking long walks during the day. So there must be something to it, I think -- by request.

multitasking

Request: dividing attention among several tasks with the goal of making progress on multiple fronts simultaneously.

procrastination

Why do now when you can be angry about not having enough time later?

taking photos as a spiritual practice

Request: When I take photographs, I often feel like I'm truly focusing on the essence and beauty of that exact moment. I just wonder what's the calibration for doing it with spiritual intention.

non-interference (as a virtue)

By request: “Not to be confused with apathy.”
