Hi Spacewolf! You're right, modern technology like tablets or kindles are really useful for a multitude of reasons (I own 2 myself) I guess I place so much importance on the original book because of my grandpa. He was like permanently stuck in that era and thanks to him I've learned so much. It feels like a special time, hence the book

Now for the NAP update!
The method (as provided on this forum, by Brother Moloch.)
- Point A (I find this to be the best meditation/relaxation ritual for me. I have ADHD, it's not easy for me to relax/quiet my thoughts. The familiarity of the words, reading them out loud, focusing on relaxing every limb (as they describe in the ritual...it does the trick.)
- The Central Pillar Ritual (I practiced and over time, I found myself to be getting better at visualizing and imagining. it's a useful skill to have. It all sets a mood, and over time I've started to actually feel the NAP, like prickling in my fingers/toes. I never felt the 'tickling of the ant', like the book described (supposedly right above your brow? I'm a bit disappointed, but I know many of Cobb's students never felt it.)
- The New Avatar Power circulation ritual
- The New Avatar Power Fountain ritual ( I do the best I can. Too many heavy breaths in and out make me lightheaded)
- The bornless one incantation.
After that pick the chant I need (the chant for money, backed up with the chant for success using Nitika and Elubatel).
I don't want to bore anyone with the details of my real life situation (not like anyone cares anyway, but basically I was a student in college without a job/income, but after a few recent losses I'm all alone, gotta fend for myself...it's been awful, and terrifying. I'm looking for real life jobs, but I set something up immediately to sell things online, would love to open up a webshop buying/selling jewelry! I'm selling what's left at my place, (my dad at one time had one until he quit). Thanks to Nitika I've gotten success with sales, enough to feed myself, and as for rent, well I'm still here and didn't get thrown out yet!
One thing I should note: It's imperative to do the ritual(s) every single day. Maybe more than once. Miss a day, isn't that big of a deal but I need to stick with it.
I've only been with it on and off for about 2 weeks. But I feel as if it's working already, helping me survive. I'll update when something else exciting happens (hopefully nothing bad lol)
