Stairway breaking all boundaries

CAUTION (SPOILER): Only read this if you have gone through Lesson 7 at least once.

The Wall That Wasn't There

You started with “First Contact”, discovering how to isolate and control your PC muscles. Lessons 2 through 5 systematically built upon that foundation: more muscles, more techniques, deeper contractions, better coordination. With each progression, you felt more accomplished, more in control.

Then came “Eternal Flame”, your first real shift from physical control to mental generation. You learned to flex without flexing. Imaginary contractions created real sensations. Your nervous system doesn’t care whether the squeeze is physical or remembered, both create response.

You understood this. You practiced it. You felt it work.

Then you went through “Stairway”.

The lesson appears straightforward: use your mind to elevate through numbered levels 1, 2, 5, then 10.
Easy enough, that’s where “maximum” used to live.

Then Stairway asked you to go higher: “Rise to 15. Now 25. Now 50. 100!!”

Wait. What? How? Wasn’t 10 the absolute strongest flex I can do?!

Here’s the thing: Level 10 was only the ceiling because real muscles have real limits. You can only squeeze so hard before your muscles max out.

But you’re not squeezing for real anymore. You’re imagining.

And imagination has no ceiling.

The Imaginary Flex

Think about what you’re actually doing:

You picture a contraction. You remember what intensity feels like. You let that memory create sensation in your body.
Nothing is physically happening. Your pelvic floor is relaxed. You’re just… thinking about flexing.

So when the lesson asks you to go to level 25, it’s not asking for more effort.

It’s asking: Can you imagine more? Can you remember a stronger sensation? Can you let that memory resonate louder?

There’s no muscle to max out. There’s only your willingness to believe the number can keep climbing.

Those levels, 1, 2, 10, 25, 50, 100, aren’t measuring pleasure intensity. Chasing pleasure disrupts the process. They’re also not measuring how hard you’re physically squeezing.

They’re measuring your willingness to let go of the mental limits you’ve created.

The Guitar Amplifier

Here’s the clearest way to understand what’s actually happening:

The first 5 lessons taught you acoustic guitar. You learned to engage more muscle groups, coordinate contractions, layer techniques.
Simple equation: more muscles engaged = more sensation.
This worked perfectly. Until it became your limitation.

Lesson 6 handed you an electric guitar. Now you’re playing through an amplifier.

With an acoustic guitar, you have to strum harder to get louder notes. But with an amplifier you just barely brush the strings and get massive sound. The effort stays minimal, but the output skyrockets.

Your nervous system works the same way. Here’s what changed:

Your nervous system has memory. It remembers what intense sensation feels like from all those times you were physically engaging multiple muscle groups. Now you’re learning to call up that sensory memory, that feeling of intensity, without actually engaging the muscles that created it.

When its sensitivity is turned up high (by recalling the memory of intense sensations), your system reproduces that feeling with almost no physical effort. A tiny flutter, or even just mentally focusing on the sensation you remember, creates intense waves of feeling.

Stairway is discovering the volume knob on that amplifier, and that it has no maximum setting.

You barely brush an imaginary string. You remember what intensity felt like. Your sensitized nervous system amplifies that memory into waves of real sensation.

The input is almost nothing. The output is limitless.

It’s a bit like this iconic scene from the movie “Spinal Tap”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgx4k83zzc

The Re-Calibration: The Core Technique

Here’s what actually happens as you work through Stairway, and why mental check-ins are crucial:

Up to level 10, you are operating within familiar territory. You know what mental levels 1 through 10 feel like. But Level 10 still represents a mental ceiling for your brain—the old idea of “maximum”.

Here’s where it gets interesting: As the lesson asks you to rise past that ceiling—to 15, 25, 50—your nervous system might panic. It doesn’t know how to go higher mentally, so it defaults to old habits. Involuntary physical tension kicks in to try and “help” you push past the barrier.

This is the exact moment to check in with your body.

Scan your muscles. Are you clenching? Tensing? Holding your breath? Tightening your abs, your thighs, or your jaw?

You probably are. Old habits. And it’s okay.

Here’s the practice: Relax everything while trying to maintain the sensation.

This feels impossible at first. Your brain insists the sensation will drop if you release the tension. But test it!
Let your muscles soften. Keep your mental focus on the sensation itself, on the memory of what intensity feels like.

What you’ll discover: the sensation doesn’t drop. Often it even increases.

This is the proof: Your body was never generating this. Your mind was!

Keep re-calibrating as you rise: Every few levels, check in. Release any physical tension you’re holding. Let your sensitized nervous system do the work.

By level 100, you’re completely relaxed. Nothing is contracted. The flex is pure imagination.

100 = 0.

And if 100 equals 0… you can start climbing again. And again.

The ceiling was never real.

The Trap

One warning.

If your very first step on the Stairway worked well, you might think you cracked the code. The surprise certainly helped. The not-knowing what to expect opened the door for you.

During your next session, you might struggle.

Why? Because now you’re chasing what happened last time. Trying to recreate exactly those feelings. Instead of just rising up, without anticipation.

This is the expectation trap.
Each session is different. The practice isn’t reproducing past experiences. It’s showing up fresh, without demands.

The first breakthrough isn’t the real test. It’s approaching the next session with a beginner’s mind, with no expectations. Just open for whatever else might be possible.

What You Discovered

Stairway reveals something that changes everything:

The limits you believed were real, physical, biological, fixed, were actually thoughts. Constructs. Cages you built and forgot you built.

You’re not learning a technique. You’re discovering that possible and impossible exist only in your mind.

After your first breakthrough, you’ll understand that those limits you thought were real were just thoughts you’d been carrying. You might think you’ve reached the top, that you’ve “figured it out.”

But really, you’ve just moved from playing acoustic to playing electric. The amplifier goes much higher than you think. You’ve only just begun experiencing what pure mental pleasure can be.

Some sessions will feel like breakthroughs. Others will feel quiet, subtle, or like nothing much happened. Both are valuable. You’re not trying to hit a specific target every time. You’re practicing the skill of releasing mental boundaries, and that looks different each session.

Allow yourself to surrender completely. Be open to new sensations. Remove the mental walls you’ve built, including the wall that says “it should feel like last time.”

This is your personal stairway to endless experience. Every boundary you break reveals that the next one was just as imaginary.

The stairway has no top.

Keep climbing.
