I’m vegan not because I love animals but because I hate plants, especially when they give me that dirty look :p

I’ve tried lowering the volume on the resonance track and was getting intense headaches and my eyes closing the whole time almost like I’m about to blackout, I doubt it is as a direct effect of the track I was listening to, hope it’s not food poisoning or something worse; can honestly say I have felt better before.

I’m still syncing and tuning my brain with the resonant frequency, so far (only referring to phase two) nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

I’ve started a daily food and exercise log as well to accompany the ESP Development Diary, take a look at http://janvladimirmostert.com
(Will code a proper design later on, just plastered a raw WordPress installation on the domain until I have time to build a decent looking site for the updates)

Today is the fifth day on phase two, it’s almost 1AM and I’m really excited to see what the rest of the week will bring along in terms of ESP Development.

Hello world!

This blog will be about personal development and tracking myself while doing so.
See it as a public diary.

Capiche!

ESP Development Log [08/05/09]

Had my first session of running phase 2 back to back with phase 1 (used the track for phase 2 followed by the track for phase 1 followed again by the track for phase 2) and after taking the headphones off, everything sounded somewhat wavey as if it’s oscillating back and forth.
Again there was that low pitched hum in the background. Listening to people speak sounded strange for about 30 minutes afterwards, the lower frequencies were oscillating louder and softer while the higher frequencies of speech were almost stinging me, I flinched when I heard high pitched sounds.

I also feel a lot more aware, it’s somewhat overwhelming being aware of the noises outside the building while still being able to hear the noises inside the roof, people all talking softly at the same time located at different places, the aircon running at different places, a coffee machine in the distance freaking me out every time somebody grinds coffee beans, mouse clicks and keystrokes coming from all directions, a packet of chips being opened somewhere, somebody eating chips, bird noises somewhere outside the building.

Time for another session, need to get accustomed to experiencing sensory overload and not just block it out every time.

Wow, this track is probably taking my headphones to its limits with regards to low frequencies. Currently have a Creative HQ-1700 headset with a frequency response of 10Hz – 25kHz, almost all the other Creative headphones / headsets start at 20Hz and none of them seem to be going lower than 10Hz. Since the headphones is almost 3 years old, I’m not sure if it can still boast with that 10Hz – 25kHz spec, although I haven’t used them that often over the past 3 years.

What I’m looking for is something that can go below 5Hz and above 25kHz, just to see if this track will sound any different when using headphones with a better frequency response.

Similar to when I started the brain synchronization with the first track, I get the immediate effect of mood brightening up, stress that is clamped inside my body just flushing out, focus increasing as well as that buzzing sound I got when the track stopped (during the first week). Only this time, the buzzing sound I hear afterwards is not an irritating high pitched chime, it’s a very LOW pitched sound sounding like a mild earthquake or a plane with large engines coming over our house very slowly. It’s quite confusing, I walk around hear things fly over the house, earthquakes which I can’t feel or trains running through the house which I can’t see.

Also, that funny high pitched sound about in the middle of the synchronization track, I can finally properly hear, it was kind of hidden amongst all the higher pitched frequencies in the synchronization track, on this track it’s clearly audible above all the really low frequencies.

I haven’t blown up anything yet, that I’ll leave for tomorrow when I’m away from my personal computer :p

Starting with Phase Two tonight, the new track is hopefully downloaded by the time I get home! Will keep everyone posted on what happens!

“I’m syncing, I’m syncing” … “What are you syncing about?” haha, lame joke :p (the original goes something like “I’m sinking, I’m sinking” when the new dude working in the lighthouse tower responds with “what are you sinking about?”)

I’m still on phase one and still syncing on a daily basis, occasionally, more often than not, I keep the track on loop and will do syncing for periods of up to 8 hours non-stop. The effect is interesting, it feels like being sleep deprived and as if your mind is overworked, the type of overworked that can be associated with studying for three to five days with minimal (less than an hour a day) to no sleep but at the same time it’s like giving your brain a workout making concentrating for very long hours at a time easier and easier … not that it was ever difficult, only the fatigue vs hours spend concentrating graph is lowering on the fatigue axis.

Haven’t seen any new paranormal things happening, I guess this phenomena is only visible during the actual synchronization stage.

Pete, let me know when we can do the test, the excitement to start with phase 2 is burning me!
