As I was saying to @Soar here: Main Hype Thread - Summertime: A True Social Experience - #341 by SaintSovereign
This is similar. Summertime is not about “removing vigilance,” it’s about helping you release it in situations where it’s not needed at all. You’re not suddenly going to start trying to hug the potential criminals in your area, or start being open to them. That is a situation where vigilance is obviously necessary.
But there must be moments in your life where you feel truly safe, or where vigilance isn’t necessary. In those moments, you can feel alive, immersed in the moment and get the inner rest you need to deal with the not-so-safe parts of your life.
Summertime is NOT commentary on intensity and vigilance, or dominance, etc. It is more “power of now,” if I must reduce it than anything else. Power of now doesn’t mean making bad decisions, or engaging in dangerous behavior, or losing your common sense, or being too “nice,” or “being a doormat.”
It is about fun and joy, fully inhabiting the moment, authenticity. The mechanism is nervous system regulation and other scripting modalities. Two separate things.
