Symbolic tales. Realms of awareness. Universal elements. What's the point? These archetypes help us all relate to the underlying fabric of our lives. The point was never a face value report. It was to lead you deeper into what we all are.
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.
The progressive pathway of information. From scattered data to coherent knowledge, to living insight and convergent wisdom. For your conscious evolution, direct this lens and apply these cognitive tools toward thorough self-awareness.
Happy birthday! Happy today or tomorrow? Some cycles follow nature's course. Then we have less connected cycles like the week. Whoever chose the first Monday? Today we celebrate the passage of time — each new moment of perpetual change.
When you and the AI seek to revise and refine, find gaps, open new perspectives into what is. AI pushes back and challenges your assumptions. Excellent. Use it for self-affirmation or escape from reality? You dig your rabbit holes.
Seer and the Seen. Dynamic and static. Yin and yang. Energy and matter. Root duality of our existence. Raw bare consciousness. The root witness, the seer, and substance — the seen, the formative potential itself. Can you see?
Earth, water, fire, air. These are abstract omnipresent principles. In the domain of awareness: Earth is your constructed blueprint. Water the flow of your evolutionary adaptation. Fire, your reactive impacts. Air, the cohesive expanse. You yourself at their center, the fifth element in dynamic space. This is existential science.
What's with the realms of awareness I hear you mention? Say you're trying to make sense of something. It's not like do it just once in your life. This cognitive concern domain becomes a realm of your awareness. Get to know your realms!
We hope to upgrade the grassroots a notch. People making sense of their conscious evolution and state of the world. Engaged on mainstream platforms with high hopes, pouring their hearts out into oblivion. We need coherent frameworks.
This attitude of "someone else will take care of it". Someone else of someone else — absolutely no one. It'll all decay. As the systemic imbalance reaches your doorstep — don't go crying for elephants, donkeys, or heavens high. Munch it up.
Deprioritise, reprioritise. Carve the space for what matters. Reality doesn't wait for you. Seize the moment. Get a tan when the sun is shining. Surf when the tides are proper. So be here now ready – like right now. Not "be here now later".
What even is convergence? It's things turning and operating together. Beyond our specifics, entering our shared essence, convergence becomes a possibility. Beyond difference and divergence. Into the underlying concerns. We can turn together.
Coherence? Simply things making sense as a whole. Is that possible at scale — in the world, in our societies? If yes, it will be planted and rooted by those who become coherent unto themselves to begin with. Common sense for common benefit.
If you don't clearly recognize your needs and yourself as it is, you pursue a life of distortions. Excessive emotions. Overthinking without all the facts lined up. Designing ungrounded dream identities. Do return to actuality.
We "get it" — because rational constructs and emotional resonance. When your sense of identity is validated by the ideas you get — you start holding on to them and defending them. You blind yourself to reality — and get nothing at all.
Meta-cognitive models. Eight realms of awareness. Four abstract elements. Seer and seen. What's the point? Why does it matter? These are means of navigating reality. Natural and native to your brain. Returning us to the same page again.
Most of us are blind to the full spectrum of "what is" — and our interpretation is influenced at a subconscious level. Seek metacognition. Observe how you think and why you think. You will immunize yourself and liberate your mind.
Whoever in this world sought the essence — whoever cared for its integration. One in a thousand may pay attention. One of these 1000 may become absorbed. One of these 1000 may reach victorious to the other side. What are you doing?
Some "get it" when they have an intellectual grasp of it. Others "get it" when there's a good emotional vibe about an idea. No but you don't actually get it. Just ideas and feels. It's still a world apart from direct witnessing of what is.
Are you a future-embracing wizard engaging the AI to expedite your existential journeys? Don't just race in random rabbit holes with AI-powered hyperspeed. Understand your role in it. Safeguard a process that resonates with reality.
Change is perpetual. Embrace it and liberate yourself from suffering born of clinging to permanence. Human brain doesn't live in the absolute present. We live in back-referenced reconstructions. Recognize and release your expired frames!
We don't find coherence or convergence. It hardly happens without clear shared frameworks. In the simplest: Find your common ground. Trace the common flow. Map your skills and capacities. Cover the systemic whole and purpose.
Someone else will take care of that. Not a problem. We just can't be bothered. If there's no reward, then never mind — not our problem. Then watch the feedback loop bite your tail. Reap your rotten fruits. Or — learn to do the right thing?
Are you ready – like as in right now? Collect every one of your assets. Proactive readiness. Gets you to the other side with full marks. Snap out of the tunnel. Rewind to the macro. Full package. Synergetic operation. Be here now ready!
Are you rooting for divergence or convergence? Fracturing yourself — or aiming for the integration of all that you are? If you seek wholeness, you must rise beyond your forms and attend to the essence of all that you are.
What is coherence? Basically — a well-rounded whole of insight. You won't find it if you lock your mind into the silo of your conditions. Then look at all of yourself — as it is, beyond your delusions — and coherence emerges without effort.
We have our hierarchy of needs. Physical, emotional, intellectual, identity concerns to be met. They matter. What matters more is clarity. If you look into your needs through a lens of distortion — how will your true needs be met?
Progressive planes of metacognition — vantage points at increasingly high levels of conscious abstraction. At the roots of it all, the prime duality of the Seer and the Seen. But we need reachable milestones for this primal quest.
The four elements? We're talking about underlying influences, the dynamic properties of existence. Earth, Water, Fire, Air – Structure, Adaptation, Reaction, Relation. In your awareness — in all of existence. Seek the direct experience.
Orientation. Emotions. Intentions. All concern domains, framings of your attention. Stations on the journey of our lives — dimensions of awareness. Eight windows: Being, seeing, feeling, wishing, willing, working, pooling, and aligning. It's not that complicated.
What is wisdom? Now there's a question. Let's trace. Knowledge is the coherent ordering of information. Insight when it comes to life — and wisdom when it converges, transforming the system of all that we are. — A 🚋 "By the Way" preview from @Mr.Om.Ananda — coming soon to Kernel Drops!
