35. Dive Two 

Come along again with Doc Jules to where invisibles go when they go deep-sea diving. It’s not at all what you’d expect. 

36. Naturals and the Unreconciled 

Naturals have much to teach prospective invisibles because they accept unconditionally their undistinguished place in the grand scheme of things. They are comfortable with who they are, they are not trying to be better than anyone else, and they cheerfully live out their lives in complete obscurity.

37. Media Invisibility 

Be forewarned all you social media addicts out there: Invisibility is probably not for you. Hate to see you go, but… 

38. Driving Invisible 

City driving can be an excellent invisibility exercise. Not getting yourself hooked in heavy traffic is ideal practice for the big show. 

39. Award Deflection 

Getting an award for something is an invisible’s worst nightmare. Here’s how to avoid it, or at least minimize the damage 

40. Political Shock

As money strips the legitimacy from econoculture democracy, one certain consequence is the spread of political non-participation. Some invisibles will even insist on exercising their right not to vote. 

41. Absolute Nonparticipation 

As American government continues its unravelling into sheer irrelevance, Invisibles prepare their fallout shelters of the mind. 

42. Attentional Peripheries 

Witnessing terrible things day after day that we can do nothing about is part of the madness of econoculture. Invisibles disengage from catastrophe overexposure and attend closely to what’s near at hand. 

43. Invisibles In Action 

Doc advises prospective invisibles to remain behind the scenes in their activism and merge their dissent with others’ whose struggles call to them. 

44. Attending to Attention 

Your neglected, often squandered attention is, in fact, your most precious possession. Never willingly surrender a moment of stolen attention. 

45. Dive Three

Liberation from the stereotype of nameless faceless masses is itself reward enough for our invisibility practice. Immersion in our common humanity is the cure for alienation.

49. Breaking Free of Consumption 

Who says desire among humans has no limits? Invisibles find reducing consumption no great sacrifice, rather a great relief. 

50. Dive Four

Sinking deeper yet into the great wide sea of humanity, some among us discover a need to do more than just break free of econoculture’s noise and lies, liberating as that surely is. Some are called to descend deeper yet to depths of understanding where they may very well, in time and with practice, become invisible even to themselves. 

51. Fun With Invisibility 

Doc reveals a personal invisibility practice: headless night walks. 

52. Invisibility and the A.R.T. 

Some artists are lost to invisibility forever; for others there is hope if they can steer clear of commercialization. 

53. Invisibility as Hip 

Poor hip has been gobbled up by the marketplace and put to work selling products. Hip commerce is an oxymoron. 

54. lnvisibility as Attitude 

Dr. Tranquillo reveals a shortcut to invisibility: willfully forging the necessary attitude to take you to a better place.
