Secrets are inverting! This is cool!
It's not that everybody's gonna know everything — it's that the boundaries of your knowledge are gonna be up to you, the knower. You can have whatever information you want. Every door opens. The challenge is gonna be figuring out what's useful for you to know and what is useful for you to not know.
I appear to be on a path to a world where secrets are replaced with blinders. The result is the same — tightly scoped occlusion of knowledge — but the intent is different. I'm not blocking your knowledge; you're choosing not to know.
... It feels inevitable that this is how we got here in the first place. :)
Guys I really gotta make it clear that is available to help you navigate this stuff. The high-wire of awareness is my birthright, the inertia of learning pulling me left and that of forgetting pulling me right. I make tools from my process. Come use 'em. :)
And once you've got your balance, is the 200-level class. ;)
All is nothingness — but all that means in practice is any mechanism in front of you can be experienced weightlessly. Like a gyro monorail. :) Doesn't matter what it is, just a matter of how it's held.
"It could not have been any better."
^ a statement of what is being observed, and therefore what exists to the observer
this is a specific configuration of observed Knowable
in this way, the past can be made pure
you got here by a trillion routes. you can pivot between them freely. what direction calls you? when you face it, what's behind you? the wind at your back
unknowable = the shadow behind the observed lines of knowable
you can tuck stuff back there, in a bind
something bad's about to happen? cool - is it useful to know the specifics of that, or to let it go unobserved, to be collapsed into fact later? which path of configuration of awareness is more useful?
realtime co-creation in the physical absence of your collaborator, in dialogue with their essence in the mind, only
can use this to develop the firmness of your positive observation, while continually honing your focus on the unknowability of what configurations actually take
contemplate the cultivation of relationship without attachment — it's about intimacy of appreciation, and the knowledge that what emerges from the unknown will suit both you and the quality of the light by which you observe the other
it's like rehearsing for improv
"I thrive in a crisis" — ehhh you focus in a crisis, and when your known/knowable/unknown map is forced into clarity, things work. contemplate designing for that clarity from a position of comfort, or even repose
your success is what you are feeling in the now
I want to sort of bat the concept of oneness around
and kind of experientially learn its texture collaboratively
seeing you hit at it in ways that I can't anticipate from my point of view
it's like only being able to see one side of the coin at a time
imagine the decision to flip the coin or not
never mind the actual coin flip
if you flip the coin, then you have a coin that's been flipped
if you don't flip the coin, then you have a coin that hasn't been flipped
the flipped coin has a different history than the unflipped coin
it's experienced you with greater complexity and nuance
they are not the same coin to you
here's the tricky bit: the past is only what you think it was — the facts you observe as interpreted through the feeling of your observation
did you flip the coin? or do you only think you did? what happens if you feel you did, but the facts don't back that up? what happens if the record shows you did, but your feelings don't agree?
now, with all of those questions in mind, contemplate the purpose of flipping the coin in the first place
overheard: "I just love being [this and that, here and there, then and now]"
you don't love being everything
but everything being needs to love its own way of being
you can conceptualize the path to loving everything, but there's still an order, a sequentiality, that which can be specifically observed and loved from here, from where/who/how you are. oneness is observing oneness from different places in sequentiality.
points of view go on forever. you know what it means to recognize a point of view, yeah? like recognizing a film director through their films, but never meeting the director. imagine getting to know each other by trading films. it's kind of like that.
