.........Ordinary
ExtraOrdinary
You already know the difference between ordinary and extraordinary.
The question that remains is:
Why would you ever want to hang out in ordinary?
There is only one person who can answer that question.
You.
THE ORDINARY IS PERVASIVE.
'How are you?'
'How are you?' is one of the most innocently dangerous question there is because it is so ordinary. The automatic behavior is to let our sword down and offer ordinary-sleeping-zombie banter in exchange for safety.
I usually do not answer when someone asks me 'how are you?', except if I am doing a piece of conscious theater. I keep my sword out and ask them what do they really want to know? What kind of conversation do they want to have with me? What outcome are they looking for? 99% of people have no idea, which tells me that their gesture was unconscious and ordinary, coming out of their Box. I refuse to have such conversations with a human being. I often ask them to come back to me when they have a more interesting offer for intimacy.
Extraordinary Possibilities
- Having a Meta-Conversation: I am interested in a having a different conversation with you than an ordinary one by answering your question. Would you be willing to do that with me?
- Making a Proposal: I propose that you ask me a different question to which I don't know the answer and you don't know the answer too. Would you try that with me?
- Being Radically Honest: Do you have 45minutes? This is how long I need to tell you how I am really.
- Being An Experimenter: My current experiment is to not use the word 'I' for the next 3 days. You give me an extraordinary challenge by asking me this question. I thank you.
- Transformational Listening: I hear that you want to get to know me better. So few people nowadays have a true interest in discovering the mystery that we are as human beings. Oh I am so glad that I have found a journeyer to go with me on this journey. Do you want to grab coffee while we go on the journey?
THE EXTRAORDINARY IS POSSIBLE.
DISTINCTIONS
Extraordinary spaces, extraordinary opportunity, extraordinary excitement, extraordinary intimacy, extraordinary experiences, extraordinary aliveness, extraordinary connections, extraordinary presence, extraordinary ideas...
Is your life ordinary or extraordinary?
Who do you think is making it that way?
If you think it is 'them', you are wrong.
If you think it is your circumstances, you are wrong.
Something very close to you is limiting your life to the ordinary domains, blocking you from extraordinary and archetypal domains.
It is you.
There are many magical consequences of developing your ability to go extraordinary.
This website is a roadmap to off-road explorations.

Go there with some spare time (ie, if work is your epicenter of ordinary, arrange to be there after hours or at lunch time)
Pick up the phone and call your contacts one at a time until someone answers and is available to listen to you for 10 minutes. Then click your fingers and transform the space into an extraordinary one. Set a timer and take at least 10 minutes to describe in exquisite detail the hidden beauty and magic of this extraordinary space.

10 CRACKS IN ORDINARY
Matrix Code ORDINARY.05
For one day, set a timer on your phone to go off every hour for 10 hours. Each time it goes off, whever you are and whatever you were doing - say or do something that puts a crack in ordinary reality, for example: you could share a hilarious joke with an ATM machine, bow deeply and solemly to a pot plant, you could speak a sentence worth of words entirely backwards and then continue as if nothing happened, you could run for the door screaming "tsunami!" even (especially) if you live many hours from the coast. The possibilites are truly endless.

EXTRAORDINARY STORIES
Matrix Code ORDINARY.06
One person of a pair is the story teller and they pick an object, any object, it does not matter what it is. The story teller becomes a fountain of extraordinary stories about the many amazing and non linear possibilities that the object could be used for for 5 minutes. The other persons job is to listen and to call "shift" at random times regardless of where the story is up to. Then switch roles and go again.

WONDER FILLED GREETINGS
Matrix Code ORDINARY.07
There are greetings and there are greetings. Ordinarilly, someone you see regularly is not greeted enthusiastically. This experiment is about trying something else. Over a 7 day period greet 10 people with extraordinary levels of intensity and inventiveness (without turning it into a joke) - beyond anything that might be considered ordinary for you. A minimum requirement of this experiment is to get in before they ask you how you are - make that question impossible, leave it no space.

NOTE: This website is a Bubble in the Bubble Map of the free-to-play, massively-multiplayer, online-and-offline, thoughtware-upgrade, matrix-building, personal-transformation, adventure-game called StartOver.xyz. It is a doorway to experiments that upgrade your thoughtware so you can create more possibility. Your knowledge is what you think about. Your thoughtware is what you use to think with. When you change your thoughtware, you go through a liquid state as your mind reorganizes itself. Liquid states can bring up transformational feelings and emotions. By upgrading your thoughtware you build matrix to hold more consciousness and leave behind a life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. No one can stop you from upgrading your thoughtware. Our theory is that when we collectively build 1,000,000 new Matrix Points we will change the morphogenetic field of the human race for the better. Please choose responsibly to read this website. Reading this whole website is worth 1 Matrix Point. Doing any of the experiments earns you additional Matrix Points.
