Riding the Wave and Willawonta — Part Two

Willawonta

A thought experiment.

Imagine sitting in a calm, open state—thoughts flowing without needing to be analyzed.

Now imagine a part of the mind like an audio editor.

There are multiple bands—frequencies—that can be raised or lowered. In sound, this changes tone: more bass, more treble, different textures, different voices.

Now shift that idea from sound to emotion.

Each “frequency” is a tone of experience—fear, ease, tension, joy, self-consciousness, openness. Instead of hearing it, you feel it.

And there is a subtle sense that these can be adjusted.

Not directly, but through the system—like a chain: the pineal, the pituitary, the amygdala. A small shift at one point affects the whole tone.

So imagine selecting one frequency.

Self-consciousness. The fear of standing out, of doing something wrong, of being seen too clearly.

You gently lower it.

Not removing it—just easing it.

And as that happens, something opens.

A memory, or more like a capacity, returns—the way it was as a child. The ability to move freely between imagination and reality, to play fully, to become the role without hesitation.

Then, over time, that freedom narrowed. The amygdala took on more control—filtering, constraining, holding things back. Not just fear of what’s out there, but fear of how you might appear.

Now, in this moment, there is a slight release.

Not losing control, but loosening it.

And life begins to feel more like improvisation—something unfolding in real time, not fully scripted, not fully random.

Just responsive.

The “control” for this isn’t force.

It’s something more subtle:

Willawonta.

A blending of free will and free won’t.

The freedom to move in a chosen direction—and at the same time, the freedom not to follow the old patterns, the habitual contractions, the automatic responses.

Not pushing forward.

Not sliding back.

Just a small adjustment in the tone.

And letting the next moment form from there.
