You Have The Capacity To Distinguish
The ability to make 5-Body experiential Distinctions comes from precisely wielding a flaming diamond-sharp Sword of Clarity. You are designed to do this. In fact you have a Sword Of Clarity right now, an energetic tool, hanging at your side on your energetic tool belt.
Such a Sword is sharp on both edges... as dangerous to your own Box and Gremlin unconsciousness as it is to any assumptions, expectations, stories, beliefs, projections, and Shadow Purposes in any Space.
Distinction
A Distinction is an Energetic Declaration that if you have the Matrix to hold it, changes who you are and therefore gives you a new Possibility for Action. In the StartOver.xyz game, one Distinction equals one Matrix Point.
When you get a Distinction it lands in your Matrix and reorders your Energetic Body in such a way that you can experientially differentiate something which you could not differentiate before. Your experiential discernment is refined to a measurable degree (the measurement being the new Results you can create).
Each Distinction in your Energetic Body acts as a thread in a net.
Weaving in more Distinction threads allows you to catch more Consciousness.
The more Distinctions you weave into your Energetic Body the more Consciousness you can catch. Eventually, your Energetic Body is so thickly woven with Distinctions that it changes from a net into a sail, and your life starts to be blown by with whims of Consciousness itself.
From A Net To A Sail
Consciousness can be equated with light. When light is shone over a space, it radiates everywhere at all time. The same way, we suggest that consciousness is present at all times.
However, we can only see the light when it hits a solid physical object. For example, you might be reading these lines in a book, both your physical body and the book are hit by light. How can you tell? Because you see them. You cannot see the light between your body and the book, you can only assume it is there. Why can’t you see it? Because they are no object the light hits on. If you move your hand between your body and the book, the light will hit your hand and you will be able to see the light.
In the same way, we do not experience omnipresent consciousness at all times, we experience consciousness only when it hits a physical object. As for the light, consciousness is everywhere but there is no way to tell its presence in between objects.
When light strikes an object, the quality of the light that we see (for example, the color, transparency, shape, texture, brightness) is determined by the physical quality of the object that reflects the light.
Similarly, the quality of consciousness that we experience (for example, intelligence, attention span, flexibility, radiance, creativity, presence) is determined by the physical structure of the object reflecting consciousness. The more sophisticated and complex the structure, the more sophisticated and complex the consciousness that it manifests. The structure that catches consciousness is called Matrix.
Matrix is made out of distinctions. Therefore, the more distinctions you weave into your energetic body the more consciousness you can catch.
As you keep collecting distinctions, eventually your energetic body will be so thickly woven with them that your matrix changes from a net that catches consciousness into a sail. Raw consciousness can then blow in your sail, and your life starts to be carried by the whims of consciousness itself. When that starts happening, your life does not belong to you anymore, it belongs to raw consciousness.
It is possible that the gameworld that you are supposed to build does not belong to you, but to consciousness itself using you - and your hands and mouths - to manifest it in reality.
This applies both to space and gameworlds.
At the start of a space, as you set the context, you - as the spaceholder - might have the sensation that you are rowing alone a 2 tons sailboat. Setting context is the process of clarifying the distinctions that will be used in the space. It is crucial that it happens at the outset of a space. You could compare this process to weaving threads into a tighter and tighter net. Eventually, the energetic space can be so thickly woven with distinctions that it changes from a net into a sail. The space can from then on catch the whims (and winds) of consciousness itself. The space starts surfing the waves of life and evolution with little to no use of your own personal power as a spaceholder to make it move.Practices

Experiments
Distinctions are like precious jewels, refined out of the raw fabric of the Universe. Many distinctions are experiential distinctions, meaning they are not distinguished in the mind but in the physical body, emotional body, or energetic body. Some distinctions existed before the Universe even came into existence. This means they are archetypal distinctions, experienced in the archetypal body. Getting one new distinction is worth 1 Matrix Point in the StartOver.xyz game.
DISTINCTIONS
Matrix Code DISTINCT.01
Being able to create and land a distinction in someone's 5 Bodies, or to land a distinction in a Space, or to detect Space protocol distinctions or gameworld context distinctions... these are all precious crucial skills for anyone wishing to be creative at work, at home, or interpersonally.Experientially knowing what is possible, what is wanted, what is needed, what is most effective, what is most fulfilling - these are all distinctions.Some people are restricted to Intellectual Body distinctions, that is, distinctions in their minds. This is a handicap, because a human being has five bodies: physical, intellectual, energetic, emotional, and archetypal (http://5bodies.strikingly.com).Learning to discern, differentiate, and experientially distinguish are essential skills for creating cool results and further researching next culture, archiarchy.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.01 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

NOT ONLY SOIL
Matrix Code DISTINCT.02
I have a distinction when I understand that what I previously thought was one thing is two things.
Go into the garden and with a spade, poke a piece of earth about the size of a soccer.
Start by looking more closely at the piece of soil. You may see larger and smaller rocks somewhere in the pile of soil. Stones and soil are different things.Put the rocks in an extra pile.
Do you find animals in them? Earthworms, bugs, ants? Put them out too, because animals and soil are not the same thing. Let them go and crawl away as they like. By the way, crawling and going are not the same thing.
Are there small roots in the soil? Put them in an extra pile. On extra piles, collect everything that is something else, plastic, metal, bones, old coins, vegetables...you can find all kinds of different things in a clump of soil.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.02 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

FIVE QUICK EXPERIMENTS
Matrix Code DISTINCT.03
Here come 5 small, quick and fun experiments about not distinguishing:
- Don't distinguish letters: Write an email using only the letter O. But use punctuation marks and spacebars as you normally would.
- Don't distinguish the tones: Sing songs and stay on one tone only. Use lyrics, pauses, etc. as usual.
- Do not distinguish foods: Eat only oatmeal for 3 days. In the morning, at noon in the evening and as a snack in between.
- Don't differentiate your two hands: Do everything with your left hand for one day if you are right-handed and with your right hand if you are left-handed. You could have the hand you don't want to use thickly bandaged with gauze for this purpose.
- Don't differentiate into different coins and bills: go to the bank and change 100 euros into 1 cent coins. You now have 10,000 cent coins. Pay for everything you buy with the cent coins until the 100 euros are used up.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.03 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT
Matrix Code DISTINCT.04
Take part in a Zoomcall with many participants. For example, the Radiant Joy Brilliant Love Study Group is a good place to start, because about 50 people from all over the world meet there every Monday.
Start by taking a closer look at the participants.How do they differ? What jumps out at you?Do you notice what color hair they have, what hairstyles they wear?What do you see of the room they are in?Is there furniture, plants, other people, animals?What are the participants doing while they are there?Are they drinking, talking, smiling, writing, walking around?Which participants stand out to you and why?
Start writing about individual little profiles, as if they were being searched for and you needed to describe them so that other people would find them as quickly as possible. Describe their physical body as accurately as possible.
Go to the Call again the following week. Look for all the people you described. Are they there? Write to all those who are not there and tell them that you looked for them and missed them.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.04 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

ALWAYS THREE MORE
Matrix Code DISTINCT.05
Get 10 items from your household and put them on the table in front of you. It does not matter what it is.
Pick up an item and look at it more closely. Say aloud the name of the item.Then consciously make a distinction. Yes, it is a bottle, and it has a lid. Lid and bottle are not the same thing.
Now take one of the two things and make a new distinction. Yes, it is a lid, and there is a white rubber seal in the thread of the lid. Lid and white rubber gasket are not the same thing.
Make a third distinction. Yes, it is a white rubber gasket and there is a small black border on the top edge. Black is not the same as white.
Do the same with all 10 objects and create three more distinctions each, which can become finer and finer like the roots of a tree.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.05 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

THE KINGDOM OF ESWATINI
Matrix Code DISTINCT.06
Have you ever heard of the Kingdom of Eswatini? If not, you are like me until two minutes ago. Two minutes ago, I didn't have the distinction that this state exists in Africa. Africa at all. It's made up of 54 separate states.
The Kingdom of Eswatini is one of them.
The experiment goes like this:
Set your clock to 35 minutes. Open your BEEP!Book and write as a heading:
Everything about the Kingdom of Eswatini that I could find in 35 minutes.
Then use the time to gather information about this nation that sets it apart from the other nations (which is probably the most information you'll find).Maybe after the time is up, you'll get a desire to travel to the kingdom of Eswatini someday. If so, don't let that stop you.Traveling is one of the best ways I know of to find new distinctions.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.06 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

DISTINGUISH WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR 4 BODIES
Matrix Code DISTINCT.07
With the following experiment you can explore how your intellectual, emotional, physical and energetic body reacts in an extreme situation.
Stand under the shower. Turn on only the cold water tap. Also wash your hair in the shower with the cold water only.
Observe how your body freaks out in this extreme situation.You can do this especially well if you are already in the shower and turn on the cold water tap. It's not hazardous to your health - you're about to take a shower with cold water: What arguments does your mental body use to keep you from turning on the faucet?What do you feel just before the stream of water hits you?Observe your physical body in this temporal gap just before you turn on the faucet: Which muscles are tense? How is your posture?Also observe your energetic body: where is your attention? (Maybe you are more in the here and now than you would expect).When you get out of the shower, write your research findings in your BEEP!Book. Document for each of the 4 bodies.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.07 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

CATCHING CONSCIOUSNESS
Matrix Code DISTINCT.08
Distinctions are like the threads in the net that is the matrix. With the net you can catch consciousness.Let's try in the next experiment if this is true and if you catch something.
There are 4 feelings. Anger, fear, sadness and joy. That's a distinction. And so those are 4 threads in your web.
Sit down in a cafe at a table where you can easily observe other people and maybe even listen to some conversations. Order something and make yourself comfortable, see if you can catch something with your net.
For now, do the experiment by starting with the feeling of anger.Where do you perceive it?Which person is angry?What does the person look like, what does he or she say, how does he or she speak? Why is the person angry?How does that person's anger show up in their physical body?How does it show in the mental and energetic body?Is the anger pure or mixed with another emotion? Which one?Write all of this down in your BEEP!Book.
Everything you perceive and notice here is conscious to you. You would not be aware if you did not have the distinction in the 4 feelings.
Proceed in this way with all 4 feelings.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.08 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.
This Experiment is worth 1 Matrix Point.
SHARE YOUR DISTINCTIONS
Matrix Code DISTINCT.09
Take three opportunities each day to share your distinctions. Distinctions are meant to be shared and who should do it but you?
For example, you can say, "When you were just telling me about your job, I noticed a feeling on your face. Would you like to hear more about it?" If you get a yes, you can bring the distinction of the 4 feelings or the distinction between emotions and feelings.
Bring distinctions into the room all week on the topic of assumptions, expectations, beliefs, shadow principles, survival strategies.
Do this for a week and three times a day.You can also share other distinctions, such as the distinction that there are about 20 different kinds of pepper.

START A JOURNEY
Matrix Code DISTINCT.10
Start a journey to a country where you have never been and where you don't know a single person.Go into a country where you don't speak the language. Plan as little as possible and stay there for at least 7 weeks.Write a travel BEEP!Book for the entire period of your trip.Traveling is the best way to find distinction.After completing this experiment, please register Matrix Code DISTINCT.10 in your free account at StartOver.xyz.

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 relocate your point of origin and 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 low drama life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. More interestingly, 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.
