Practice Airstreaming at-home in SCOTOMAVILLE

It turns out almost all of the Airstreaming life can be practiced while you are at home in SCOTOMAVILLE. You can gain experience before you acquire the Airstream that you want.

As you can tell we have the evidence now. We are finally in a 30-foot globetrotter of our own, and that's quite the story to come. We're no longer in a 19-foot Bambi. We've got the thing we've really worked for five years for so let's talk about setbacks. (You can 'follow' us now that we have evidence)

 
 

AWARENESS

SCOTOMAVILLE 01.12 Working Needs

SCOTOMAVILLE 01.10 Creating Silence
In music, a 'hook' is an intentionally addictive set of lyrics and beat. It sticks in our mind and plays over and over and over... It can be maddening. It's a fabulous thing to be able to get noise out of your head and be inside a place that is quiet...
Caring for Your Microbiome in SCOTOMAVILLE
Did you know that we are only 10% human and 90% microbe? There's a coup underway. It's 100 trillion microbes against your intention. By feeding our gut, rather than our taste buds, we can culture our microbiome to crave healthy food that leads toward...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.08 Fixation vs Attention
Living in a 19' Airstream during a global pandemic will focus your attention on the tiny stuff. A simple focus on keeping clean easily turns into fixation. The attention required in every direction becomes emotional. The 'fix' list causes stress. The...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.03 Sleeves Illusion
Combining a simple illusion with a questionable story you'll experience yourself what it means to be 100% wrong half the time. You see, when a simple story meets our 20 watt brain we overlook truth in favor of the emotions connected to the story. We ...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.04 Abundant Scarcity
People are hording toilet paper, hand wipes, frozen and canned food. It's as if they fear the end of the world. Abundance and scarcity are concepts. You can't pick them up. You have to imagine those concepts in your mind. The problem is... our emotio...
Seeing My Blind Spots
We are regularly bamboozled, hoodwinked, mislead and biased from either side of an issue. Most people know nothing about blind-spots. We literally can not see some of what is right in front of our face. That vulnerability is leveraged by magicians an...
01.07 Changing False Beliefs in SCOTOMAVILLE
Why do I get so emotional? What can I do with false beliefs? These are reasonable questions. In this episode of Leaving Scotomaville, Daniel shares a mental tool that has helped a great deal. Learning to peel back layers of your beliefs to root out t...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.14 Triangulation

SCOTOMAVILLE 01.05 Abundant Awareness
We're surrounded with abundance, yet few people speak about it. That's because it's NOT the normal circumstance for our history. Famine, plague, war, disaster... these were our normal, so our biology betrays us in an age of abundant food, health, pea...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.13 Strengths Offender
Most of us are known for talents and skills that we have honed over decades. Many of our strengths are direct outcomes of childhood wounds. We're experts at our top coping mechanisms, with tens of thousands of hours practice. Our NORMAL offends other...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.01 Scotoma Awareness

SCOTOMAVILLE 01.16 Segue
Today is May 16th, 2020. 50 years ago, I clearly remember looking at the Porsche 911 that I had put together from a plastic kit on my shelf, and watching model airplanes slowly spin on their monofilament while imagining this day. It seems that life i...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.11 Feed Your Gut
When you look down, do you see a belly or your shoes? Do you see a gut or laces? Did you know that we are only 10% human and 90% microbe? There's a coup underway. It's 100 trillion microbes against your intention. By feeding our gut, rather than our ...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.15 Curves
It's super easy to wrongly apply the geometric axiom that; "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line." It's no wonder then that we trigger when life happens between our plans. We expect to make certain progress in a reasonable time...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.02 Pattern Recognition
We are pattern recognizing beings. We learn by building on memories which form patterns. These eventually become habits. Some are good. Some are not. Some habits come from numerous and long-standing patterns. Understanding how we are 'gamed' and misl...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.09 Emotional Vocabulary
Learning to share the emotions within us is nearly impossible without a decent emotional vocabulary. Most guys just stuff it all. Too tough. You can learn new words, experience more adventure (and defeat) with a broader emotional vocabulary. It's one...
SCOTOMAVILLE 01.06 Heiroglyphics
Most of us are unaware of how often stories mislead us. In this episode of Leaving Scotomaville, Daniel demonstrates how storytelling is a super-power. Using Hieroglyphics and a likely tale of the power of leadership, you'll experience how easy it is...

EXPEDITION

SCOTOMAVILLE 02.04 SCOTOMAVILLE Patience
Storytelling is a superpower. The story you tell yourself determines how much effort you're going to make. Therein is the superpower. The story you choose for yourself. The facts you align with your worldview determine the effort you're gonna make. I...

Vietnam Memories by Dean Rush
We can learn about our character and convictions by thinking back on our reactions to life experiences. This memory is from the early years of the Vietnam War when I was a pilot flying combat missions over North Vietnam. I'll bet you have similar rea...

SCOTOMAVILLE 02.05 SCOTOMAVILLE Preparation
Preparation demands that we act 'as-if' long before the evidence changes other people's thinking. Most people are being gamed by algorithms tuned for profit. The recommendations and search results you get are precise, but often not accurate. Do the h...
