Metacognitive Wizard Plane · Weaving the Helping Legends
⁘ “A veteran shaman friend of mine — with a wardrobe of hats and robes, rhymes in Sanskrit and Arabic, myths and tales in many flavors. Matching narrative patterns with the needs of our ailing minds. How finite our perception of reality is.”
So there's a veteran shaman friend of mine here in Java.
He's got an impressive wardrobe of hats and robes.
He's got the mantras in Sanskrit, the prayers in Arabic.
He's got the myths and tales in different flavors,
and it's very clear to me that he weaves it with intention.
Not to manipulate, not with malicious intent –
even though he could really craft the most epic mind-fucks ever.
But simply, as a matter of the healing,
to give people the narratives they need,
the pointers, the archetypes that help them.
Yet those who see beyond, the pattern matchers,
the metacognitive wizards, they operate on a different plane.
Your concrete self-assertions and desires are but a piece on the chessboard.
All of this used to be the realm of sages, healers, shamans, advanced human minds.
Typically with a fair bit of ethical framing and self-purification in the works.
Then rise beyond your subjective attachment,
abide and operate on planes of metacognition.
