SubscribeOctober kicks off with a Libra New Moon. The editor, Mercury, sits alongside this New Moon in a dynamically rebellious square with strategic Mars, currently in Cancer. This New Moon is especially potent as a point of initiation and indicates both a PHYSICAL and MENTAL period of renewal, with long lasting implications.
An excerpt from our Funnest Known Time: Santa Monica Mountain Challenge Stupid Routes Panel, we have Stephen Kersh recalling a memorable bonk that pushed his physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional boundaries.
STUPID ROUTES: A community Conversation about Stupid Routes; a 3-person multimedia presentation with Q&A. 👽 Abby Hall talks about a possible too close encounter and Misery PRs. 😴 Stephen Kersh talks about sleeping in the bottom of the world’s largest ditch by himself, by accident. 🚫🚴🏻♀️😢🥾 Moi Medina presents “I’m glad I brought a bike on this hike”; an IRL blogpost on the liminal space where dumb ideas and hubris meet genius and glory.

EXPERIENCE EARTH’S ENERGIES is a study of Transcendence through movement, and a visual examination of the intersection/amalgamation of Energy and Metaphysical Fitness, within the larger context of both the literal and metaphorical “The Outside
The Outside: a place or realm wherein the symbiotic relationship between human and landscape is explored through intention, connection and awe. The practice is called Endurancism, and the practitioners are called Subject Athlete.

We need healthy energy to survive, we need positive energy to thrive. The cosmos and everything in it is made of energy. Energy is a primal force from which everything emanates and sustains. Reach for the infinite potential and interconnectedness of the universe. Bad energy breeds negativity, drains vitality, creates toxic environments, subjugates joy and perverts happiness. DON’T GET ZAPPED.
We need energy in all FOUR zones.
No energy, or bad energy, is Physical, Spiritual, Mental and Emotional death, and yet we spend most of our lives immersed and submerged in technologically modern environments such as towns, cities, the internet, and any and all spaces under the spell-like control of AI and/or the yoke of The Algorithm, e.g. Toxic Energy Sources:
Experience Earth’s Energies, and time permitting, seek awe.
The short answer: Experiencing Earth’s Energies promotes Physical, Spiritual, Mental and Emotional Well-Being, which in turn will C-O-N-N-E-C-T you to Earth and Earthlings. You are Here. You are a Subject Athlete. Find Comfort with Discomfort. Achieve Metaphysical Fitness. Fun x Play x Joy. Moments of Rapture.
The longer, more complicated answer: Theoretically, Ascension.
As follows: the Known Knowns, Known Unknowns and Unknown Unknowns of theoretically experiencing Ascension:
Step 1:
RESONANCE: Touch and feel the earth. Ground yourself. Bathe, melt, fold and sink yourself into your surroundings. Call and respond to your natural environment. Harmonize with the terrain. Establish a geoconnection. Immerse, integrate and mimic Earth’s shapes, colors, and relief. Commune with nature. Achieve textural symbiosis. Syncopate your internal rhythms to Earth’s heartbeat: 7.83Hz. Vibe.
Step 2:
SYNCHRONICITY OR FLOW STATE: Through manifested movement, style and breathing, align your Physical, Spiritual, Mental and Emotional wavelengths to Find Your Line, the hallmark of which are a magical confluence of action and awareness commonly referred to as “being in the zone.” When in Flow State, time becomes meaningless at best, limits are pushed, and anything can be accomplished. Achieving Flow State requires maintaining a high level of intrinsic motivation.
Step 3:
TRANSGRESSION, AKA “SESSIONING SPOTS:” Prolonged exposure to Flow State can open portals, doorways, and thresholds of extraordinary possibilities. Through transgression, Subject Athletes transcend their perceived limitations, unlocking new dimensions of human potential and disrupting conventional realities.
Step 4:
ASCENSION: Choose from the following: Dimensional Trespassing, Whirlpooling, Chancing, Aura Capture, Spireing, Ion Surfing, Knobby Pleasures, Cosmic Alignments, Spiritual Heuristics, Vortexual Odyssey, Lemurians, Cloud Spotting, MODE—ING aka “Way of the Rat”; ATB, BRVT, AT, XC, XTRM, FKT, Headwatering, Summit & Alpine Touring, Holing, Wizard Encounters, Thermaphiling, Spirit Animaling, First Contacting, Matah Kagami Spotting, Pluto’s Cave, Chthonic Empires Underground Dwelling, Vortices, Hounding, Harmonic Convergence, Micro Macro, Celestial Magnitude, Terrestrial Hingepoint, Volcanic Ziggurat, Crystals & Pistols, Sacred Pooling, Sound Bathing, Subterranean Walkabouting, Vertical Vision Questing, Ley Lines, Geo-Parkour, Stargazing, Time Lapsing, Howling, Extra-Planer Access.
