+# Life Upgrade Onboarding
+
+For: *"I want to actually live differently. Not just understand the framework — install it in the body."*
+
+## 1. Religiousness in Yoga (the book)
+
+[**yoga.jacobcole.net**](https://yoga.jacobcole.net/)
+
+Jacob's book site. Hosts the **first six pages of *Religiousness in Yoga*** — a book Jacob considers life-changing.
+
+> "The other book I linked you, at yoga.jacobcole.net — you only need six pages of that one and it'll change [your life]. It changed my life. Got paradigm downloads and then clearing the BS from the body, so that your physical components, the emotional components, catch up to the logical ones."
+
+The structural insight: **logical understanding drifts ahead of emotional and physical understanding** in most people. The "life upgrade" project is the work of letting the slower layers catch up. Yoga (specifically the school covered in this book) is one of the highest-bandwidth ways to do that catching-up.
+
+Six pages is a small commitment. Jacob's claim is that those six pages alone are enough to give you *paradigm downloads* — see [[Ego and Conceptual Thought as Tools]] for what "downloads" means in his vocabulary.
+
+## 2. The qigong arms-up position
+
+The single physical practice Jacob taught David in the conversation. See [[Qigong (Arms-Up Position)]]. No external resource for this — the seven-minute instruction is on the wiki page.
+
+The audit framing matters here:
+
+> "What is blocking you from doing this system? If you can't do it, it's a concern."
+
+The position is **diagnostic**. You don't need to feel ready. You learn what you have by trying.
+
+## 3. Iyengar yoga
+
+See [[Iyengar Yoga]]. Move to the [[Meditation Starting Points]] cluster for the studio onboarding link.
+
+## After this cluster
+
+Continue to [[Meditation Starting Points]] for the actual practice on-ramps.
