One development that I associate with my subs over the past 2 years is a real increase in just feeling love and care for people. I always loved people, but there’s just been this kind of change to it.

It is not sentimentality. It’s more like feeling more in touch with feelings or something.

There are various parts of me that I feel more in touch with. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel awesome. But it always feels real.

I often have the thought, ‘I really like that person’ or ‘I love that person’ after meeting with someone.

I noticed an uptick in this after running Dragon Reborn. I felt more connected with people who aren’t physically present. It also enhances my motivation sometimes though because I find helping people to be one of the sources of motivation or reward. I’m speaking quite generally and vaguely here. I don’t just want to do anything simply because it may help someone. It’s more specific than that. I also really love solitude, and I’ll sweep people away when I need my introversion time. But once I’ve replenished my energy again, I’ll start thinking about it again.

Another angle that’s related is that when it comes to my sense of what is true and real, one of the central streams of this for me is an awareness of others’ experiences. Expanded boundaries or borders of consciousness. This feels almost like the next frontier to me.

Sort of an alternate version of Remote Viewing or Astral Travel, like what the guy used to do in the show Quantum Leap. ‘Jumping into’ the phenomenological frame and process of ‘another’ person or entity.

okay.

end of braindump.

The CHOICE of what to do AFTER a ‘failure’ or a blow defines in large part the course and quality of your life and the life of your family.

The Revelation of Spirit

The Revelation of Mind

These are the two programs at the core of my entire stack.

This is it.

Everything proceeds from that foundation and that functional center. That earth and that soil.

People say all kinds of things about spirit and spirituality.

To me, spirit is the evolving response to the question: ‘What Is Truly Real?’

That’s what spirit is and what spirit means to me.

It’s the asking of the question

It’s the actual answer(s) to the question (whatever those answer may be)

It’s my evolving understandings of the question

It’s my relationship and orientation to the question

It’s my embodiment and my enactment of the question

It’s the effects that the question and its responses have on the various domains and levels of my life

What Is Real?

When making decisions about a partnership or cooperation with another person, do not only consider the person’s nobility of intention, also consider their capability, their capacity, their habits. Then you can make an appropriate decision without blame or resentment.

Having good intentions is important and necessary, but it is not sufficient.

Admire and love someone who has good intentions. But don’t commit to working with them on a specific project unless, in addition to good intentions, they also have understanding and ability related to that project.

Just had an intuitive hit that gave a bit more insight into the career strategy and orientation of the INFP.

  1. An inward facing orientation to a discipline, view, or project that is more about oneself and one’s experience of the world than about a job, task, or external goal, or a service provided to others. This may be, for the INFP, the foundation of true vocation. The job or the work emanates from this, but is neither the core nor the purpose of it. I thought of the great astrologer, Steven Forrest. He has been on a decades-long project to deepen and align his own understanding. The consultations that he offers to others are secondary to that. Another image would be the oracle at Delphi. The main orientation of that person is what they are doing at the temple, day after day: devotions, meditations, ritual practices, etc. Then at particular times, they open up that space for visitors to enter, and drawing from that fund or fountain of inner engagement, they offer a singular perspective or consultation to the visitor. And the visitor pays in some way. So this is similar to the conventional job. But after the visitors leave, the oracle returns to the primary work.

An extraverted society frames and defines you in term of what you do, the deals you make, the goals you meet, the works you perform. This will never satisy Introverted Feeling. It is primarily directed towards an establishment and expansion of coherence and integration. The elaboration of a lived worldview or ontology.

  1. Eugene Gendlin’s ‘felt sense’ as the intellectual expression of introverted Feeling.

The great psychological philosopher Eugene Gendlin seems to me to have been describing and outlining exactly the process of how introverted Feeling grows, creates, explores, and establishes. The steps of his Focusing are a guide for the introverted Feeler. Both a guide to the ‘How’ and a guide to the ‘What’ and ‘Why’.

Those are my attempts to express some of that non-verbal intuition from yesterday.

current mood: I have this strange hopeful feeling.

Hope is a kind of enthusiastic anticipation of positive developments.

Sometimes I look at people and get a quick glimpse of the entire life cycle. It can be disorienting.

Softer, more permeable feel to this morning’s meditation.

Won’t deny that it was refreshing.

Lots of laggy, foot-dragging energy these days. Have done a number of evening meditations due to getting moving more slowly at the start of the day.

Today I managed the morning meditation; but am still moving slowly.

Noticed a slight step of development/advancement in my phenomenological engagement practice (i.e., meditation).

This is an interesting area because deepened intimacy with your ignorance and limitation–those things often framed as failure–comprises significant progress.

I suppose anyone engaged in a process of Exploration has a similar experience.

If your aim is to extend and elaborate a map, and all you see are features and spaces with which you are already familiar, then you might be failing. On the other hand, if you find yourself confronted with new and unknown conditions and vistas, then things are progressing on plan.

It’s helpful for me to notice–even slightly–the shifting contours and limitations of my sphere of awareness.

Solipsism is, to some extent, unavoidable; but we can harness it in the direction of learning and growth.

Sometimes after meditation, if there’s a sufficiently clear intuition in awareness, I’ll write it down. And also sometimes, occasionally, I’ll offer it to the AI Language Learning model, to dialogue and process it through that set of perspectives.

I did that just now with the previous post. Here is the ‘interaction’.

Don’t get upset because someone who is unfamiliar with what you’re doing, misunderstands what you’re doing.

This is just an invitation for you to learn to stand on your own two feet.

You wish to be free and independent and autonomous? Well, when you are, such misunderstandings will not upset you in the same way. So take your upset as a sign of the work that you still need to do.
