It was 12:30 AM on a Tuesday night sometime in the spring back in 2014 when I , Michael, was perusing soundcloud. Nothing was atypical other than that when refreshing the main page – there was a brand new DIVERSA track. After the first listen – it was immediately downloaded & replayed several times in a row until drifting off to sleep.
That morning – when checking soundcloud again to ensure that this was not a dream of a track that had been uploaded – the upload was gone! This could not be – that track was ‘fire’… what?! I then checked my recently downloaded files – and did verify that I was not dreaming, but that this track existed… Fast forward around two years – and here we are Now. As of this post – ‘Chewing Nothing’ had not been recovered or playable seemingly anywhere else, as DIVERSA lost his old material & I lost my old computer with the download.
As we were getting issue six | TIME ready – this track appeared deep within google drive – and is now available for you to hear… While you listen to it below – you can read our exclusive interview with DIVERSA. We cover an array of topics that we know you will enjoy.
Interview with DIVERSA curated by Michael, founder of phuture collective.

_________________________________________________
We as a collective practice your ideas and teachings because we notice improvement in our day-to-day lives. We’re going to run through a couple of your teachings and if you could give us any additional insight, it surely will continue to assist in our awareness as a whole.
Teaching :
“Imagining the feeling of moving forward all around wherever you are, is super healthy for learning how to ‘replace placebo with belief’.”Do this as if you’re replacing flexing a single muscle as hard as you can with flexing your mindYou’ll actually never stop getting better at it, and practice gets you good extremely quickly.Once you get used to using your imagination that way, apply that to this:
“When lifting heavy objects, imagine completely relaxing the muscles you’re using. (it helps in ways I can barely explain). However make sure you ‘flex’ perpetually. this makes you get used to each plateau.
The fact that you don’t get physically tired from doing it combined with the fact that it can relieve stress is cool.

phuture: There was a post about feeling emotions and feelings as if they were tangible bubbles of air – and you explained a method of taking those emotions in as if they were real, and feeling them as such. Almost like a placebo effect. Do you recall what post this was / could you shed any insight?
Teaching :
“flexing the belief that a sphere made of an array of different feelings circling you can be a way to gauge how well you’re doing”

phuture: If you have a routine involved in your daily life, could you walk us through it? Where does music have its role here?
