Making It Happen

How-I : Make Stuff Happen, by Keinall "K-2-H.-an" Caddle

Transmuting Unreality (0, idea) into World Reality (+ve, physical)

This short document briefly outlines why "ideas" are not enough, but tries to de-emphasis that potentially bubble-bursting concept by focusing on what is needed to make them real (embodied in the physical).

Steps followed:

1. idea (the "lightbulb over the head")
2. verbal (non-written) development (spoken) or expansion of idea (daydream, vision, dream, pondering)
3. simplex form (plain, written english with diagrams ior sketches) 
4. if hyper-pro-active, jump to step 9
5. legalese : technical dialece, "laywer speak", or "specification document" for a programmer
6. production 
7. deployment : includes sales, marketing, distribution, and retail
8. showcasing/displaying :people ("multitudes") imagine interaction with the embodiment of your idea. 
9. marketing/re-displaying: making presentations to "sell the idea" to the target audience 
10. sell the goods ior services to the target audience (i.e. close the sale); interaction on a person to thingice(:thing/service) level occurs;
11. receive payement (i.e. realise the sale) 
12. [ if you missed out a set, you may have to back-track as far as step 5, now ; ] review the current situation, and generate new ideas (back to step 1)

Proaction short-cuts the traditional sequence. 

However, it is still prudent to complete phases 5 thru 8, because cash inflows can only occur based on deployment; deployment can only occur if there is product to deploy; legalese / technical details need to be resolved for smooth production (or, any production, AT ALL) to occur, and so on.

What hyperaction really does, then, is take the linearity out of those latter steps, allowing you to do them "just in time" or "latently" rather than pre-interaction. Note that step 8 without the product being ready for deployment is more of a desire-inducing interaction, and may backfire if a competitor fills the desire before you!

Therefore, sometimes the traditional path is actually superior to the active neo-path. One needs to be prudent about these things, and make wise decisions based on intution, research, drawing lots, or whatever works for you.

Footnotes:

I was inspired to this from something I read on the freedom technology site, but need to track down exactly what. Check out the main site: www.buildfreedom.com . Also try www.coping.org , which has stuff about personal development. 

For a more esoteric twist, look at way to make things un-happen, i.e. to change reality, check out:

• The Wave series [ link: The Wave ] , which "proposes ideas as to how to literally 'change our universe' to another probable reality. It isn't easy, but it can be done. We believe that this is the purpose [...]- to strengthen, inform, educate and assist [...] the gaining of the knowledge that will set us free!" [ - Abduction 11 ].
