Write The Book

A book is an alchemical object that causes a change in the design of the human morphogenetic field merely from its physical existence.

The book gets printed and it lasts longer than you do.

It goes places you never went.

It changes people you never met.

The idea is to write THE book that needs to be written through you, not that you are writing YOUR book. Forget about that. Just write the book.

Nobody can write the book for you.

On the other hand, nobody can stop you from explaining how you became an edgeworker, how you serve as a Possibilitator, or how anyone can experience 5-Body Intimacy through escaping the capitalist patriarchal empire, and discovering archiarchy while at the same time inventing it.

Have you ever received anything of value from another author?

Guess what... it's payback time!

You can't write? Duh! That's because you went to school!

Time to quit school and come play in the domains of causing immediate alchemical process.

Life is short. Do the things that matter most. Let the rest fall where it may.

Have as much Fun as you can.

Leave a few clues around so others can find the path you are taking.

Impactful Writing Is Possible...How To Write The BookI (Clinton Callahan) offer you my best book-writing hints below. I know that you don't need them. Almost no one offered me book-writing hints. I went ahead and wrote books anyway.

These hints are important to me. They are hard-earned nuggets of gold, guidelines I use every day. I don't know that if someone offered me such nuggets it would have helped me. That doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is that you write the book.

Why does it matter to me that you write the book? Because the most important item on my global transformation agenda is upgrading human thoughtware. Without that, we are doomed. The old thoughtware can only create the same old results.

Humans are using terribly outdated, crippled, disgraceful, ecocidal thoughtware... Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware (S.H.I.T.)

The Rule of Law of modern culture is exterminating life on Earth at the fastest possible rate - except if the Sun supernovas or the Earth receives a direct hit from a planet-killing asteroid.

Anyone following modern culture's Rule Of Law as if it is real or somehow 'true' is criminally insane. Anyone defending modern culture's Rule Of Law has already forfeited their life.

So what? So your job as a writer is to upgrade your own thoughtware enough to invent next culture - archiarchy - or else, probably sooner than anyone imagines, there won't be anyone around to read your book.Each of us lives in a unique world, both inside and outside of us, different past, different context, different thoughtware, different gameworlds, different purposes both conscious and unconscious. This gives us ten to the Nth workable approaches to book writing.

The following hints come from my own experience. I share the hints with you as doorways. Behind that rock is a doorway. Talk to that demon... she is a doorway. This magic spell? Yes, it's a doorway.

Do all doorways work for book writing? Yes... (he says tentatively), but... maybe not for you.

Who knows? There is only one way to find out. Write the book.

Einstein's 'Gedankenexperiments' (thought experiments) do not work for writing due to the massive internal and external forces involved. Writing is alchemical transformation. Writing produces real results in the physical world.

Writing depends on Genius, Bright Principles, Shadow Purposes, the Muse, your Commitment, your daring... and E.C.C.O. What am I saying?

Write.

Eventually one of the doorways you fall through will explain dazzling everything to you, I am sure of it.

How? I don't know. It is a mystery.

As Charles Bukowsky puts it:air and light and time and space'- you know, I've either had a family, a job, something
has always been in the
way
but now
I've sold my house, I've found this
place, a large studio, you should see the space and
the light.
for the first time in my life I'm going to have a place and
the time to
create.'
no baby, if you're going to create
you're going to create whether you work
16 hours a day in a coal mine
or
you're going to create in a small room with 3 children
while you're on
welfare,
you're going to create with part of your mind and your
body blown
away,
you're going to create blind
crippled
demented,
you're going to create with a cat crawling up your
back while
the whole city trembles in earthquakes, bombardment,
flood and fire.
baby, air and light and time and space
have nothing to do with it
and don't create anything
except maybe a longer life to find
new excuses
for.

1### IT IS NOT YOUR BOOK

It really helps to get that the book you are writing is not your book. It is THE book... It is A book... It is the book of your Bright Principles, the book of your Pearl, the book of your Archetypal Lineage. It is the book that Genius writes. You are the mediator. You move the pen and punch the keys, but pen-pushing and key-pounding works best when you are not there. Learn cool ways to get out of the way so that Flow can write the book. (WARNING: See HINT #13)

LET YOUR BRIGHT PRINCIPLES DO THE WRITING

Get out of their way.

Your job is to make the space and time to write, five days each week, at least five or six hours each day.

Put your butt in the chair.

Diminish distractions, like washing dishes, people running through the space trying to get your attention, barking dogs, radio, kids...

Type.

Type first, ask questions later.

Keep typing.

If you get ideas for doing other things, finishing things, changing things... write them on a note pad... DO NOT DO THEM NOW.

Keep writing.

Stretch once every hour or two for 5 minutes.

Drink lots of water.

Then the Bright Principles can provide their Value through your fingers.

Without your fingers typing or writing away, the Bright Principles are stuck. The Bright Principles do not have fingers.

START WITH AND KEEP REVISING YOUR TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Table Of Contents is your adventure journey outline. It is the thoughtmap of the territory of the book.

Reading through the Table Of Contents gives you the sense if the journey is a complete journey, or if you are being timid or stingy with what the book gives the reader.

You will not know what is in each Chapter when you write the Table Of Contents because those details will emerge in the writing journey. But if the gaps are too big or too small, if there are things missing or things repeated, the Table Of Contents will tell you.

ALWAYS HAVE YOUR Beep! Book WITH YOU AND WRITE DOWN EVERY HINT THAT COMES NO MATTER HOW INCONVENIENT IT IS AT THE MOMENT

The pain and regret of losing download material for your book is devastatingly great. This is one pain you can avoid by consciously choosing another pain, namely, the pain of neurotically carrying around your Beep! Book and pen and interrupting whatever is happening in the current space to shift into the other space of you making whatever notes you need to in order to be assured that you can find your way back to the space where the extraordinary clarity is occurring to you now. With your Beep! Book you can capture jewels from rare, momentary, spaces, and alchemically transform them into words and graphics so others can benefit from your ability to make 5-Body Intimacy Journeys.

WRITE THE FIRST AND LAST CHAPTERS FIRST

Once you have the opening and the closing, the rest is a matter of filling in the blanks in between. Having the wrap-up 'in the can' (to use film-making terminology...) helps keep the middle on track because you know where you are going.

As the middle fills in you may need to add some more details to the beginning to introduce characters, set scenes, build the context for the rest of the book.

When is the book done?

Actually, if you have the beginning and the ending it is already done. Filling in the middle is simply about making the book better.

WRITE YOUR BEST SECRET STUFF IN THE FIRST 3 CHAPTERS - DO NOT BETRAY YOUR READERS BY CUTTING OFF THE FLOW OF JEWELS BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN FEAR OF ANNIHILATION

When you write your 'best secret stuff' in the first 3 chapters, then you make room for more 'best secret stuff' to emerge in later chapters!

Some book writers, far too many in my opinion, save their best secret stuff for the last chapter in the book, as if there were a limited amount of best secret stuff!!! How absurd!!!

If you save your best secret stuff for the last chapter then you do not have space in the book to learn more about what you love to learn about. You do not get to find out what you did not know that you did not know about while writing the further chapters.

The purpose of writing the book is not to write about what you already know about. It is to establish the real necessity - e.g. the blank pages in unwritten chapters - so that you get to go on the transformational exploratory journey of deepening the work while writing about the coolest stuff there is. You discover more of the coolest stuff there is through writing the book.

USE HALF YOUR TIME FOR GRAPHICS

Creating graphics means drawing out detailed new Thoughtmaps, making clear photos, writing lists or process steps in graphically separate boxes, etc.

WRITE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING - EAT LATER ONLY WHEN YOU ARE REALLY HUNGRY

Sherlock Holmes is right... eating slows you down.

There is a space of time between no longer feeling 'full' and not yet feeling like you are 'starving' that is the writer's ecstasy time. Create it and use it as often as possible. The book and The Muse will be happy that you do this.

DO NOT TURN ON YOUR EMAIL OR INSTAGRAM AND DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE UNTIL AFTER 3pm

Right now it is already 15:21 and I did not turn on my email or Telegram or messages yet. I know I am remiss. Michael Poertner is waiting for my reply to his answer to my request to talk to him... and I did not give it to him yet... But if I did that I would not be writing these words in this particular hint about writing the book, and I really want you to write the book. Sorry Michael...

0### DO NOT SCHEDULE CALLS OR APPOINTMENTS UNTIL AFTER 3pm

This HINT should be unnecessary to write as one would assume it is included in the the previous HINT about not turning on your email or messaging until after 3pm... and... well... humans are complexly defended Box mechanisms... cleverly able to fool even ourselves (or perhaps, especially ourselves...) in order to keep us surviving, which means to keep us the same as we have always been, because whatever that way it, it has allowed us to survive.

I mean, what if... what if your book is wildly successful? What if your book goes viral? It has happened before. Most times it is unpredicted. Twelve publishers rejected J. K. Rowling's manuscript for the first Harry Potter story.

I am not saying your objective is to write a million copy bestseller... who would those readers be?

The dangerous question here is, how will you deal with your ego or tolerate people's projections if the book you write becomes famous?

Can you actually hold the new form your Being would have if you write a successful book?

You would become visible.

People might love you, or hate you.

People might make assumptions about you and call you ugly names like radical, or extremist. You might get put on the government's black list, those who should first be rounded up and imprisoned or executed. Maybe you don't want all that attention...

Maybe it is better to hide out and stay invisible... sabotage your own book writing sessions.... make appointments before 3pm.

DO THE 'HEEBIE JEEBIES' EXERCISES ONCE PER HOUR

The book will not be written if your physical body degrades. Stand up.
