Dating is not just about identifying people with attractive characteristics;

Dating and courtship are about exploring the extent, the boundaries, the limits, the shapes, and the seasons (timings) of the characteristics that are attractive, the characteristics that are unattractive, and the characteristics that seem neutral.

I suspect many people do not make this kind of use of dating. Because they’re too attached to satisfaction.

The irony is that being fixated on satisfaction makes it much harder for you to find satisfaction. It’s kind of a form of perfectionism. It cannot tolerate deviation from that which has been idealized.

Imagine trying to:

  1. Become very familiar with the roads and neighborhoods of a particular city, while at the same time

  2. Focusing on getting to every destination in the most efficient time and route possible.

You can’t really choose both of those goals at the same time.

The first goal is about exploration.

The second goal is about perfectionism.

It is not possible to explore perfectionistically.

Fixation on finding the ‘best’ means that you won’t take time to explore and find out what things really are. And so, ironically, you won’t get the chance to uncover your actual best.

This is what I think happens to lots of people around dating and courtship.

Nothing in the world that works is only about itself;

Everything in the world that works is sometimes about more than itself

Every system needs nutrition and renewal by connecting to what is beyond itself

This connection is a double-edged sword

Too much connection and the system can be overloaded, disrupted, and void of integrity

The danger of excessive extraversion.

Too little connection and the system becomes myopic, malnourished, and masturbatorily void of meaning and purpose.

The danger of excessive introversion.

What about the 8.196 billion human beings who live on planet Earth right now?

The estimated number of stars in the observable universe is this:

200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

(i.e., 200 billion trillion)

We tend to be concerned only with one: Sol.

Sol is 93 million miles away from us.

And that is the perfect distance.

As for the other ~199,999,999,999,999,999,999,999, they’re much farther away, and so we go through life ignoring them.

This is how humans are.

Apparently, our scientists estimate that the average planet-to-star ratio is 1.6.

So, again, that would be:

320,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets.

I realized after the fact that my interest in cosmological grounding (in the previous several posts) is right on task for Revelation of Spirit/Revelation of Mind.

That is encouraging.

Some dreams really just feel like you’re chilling with real people.

Actually many of my dreams. And most of them unremembered.

So much to learn.

So much to learn.

Learning requires strength. Stability. Humility. Weakness. Flexibility.

Mind is the Wave and Body is the Particle.

Mind is the Music and Body is the String.

They are the same thing, just being viewed differently.

One way of seeing things:

In general, I have three categories of goals, projects, growth dimensions, etc.,

  1. Inner Processes. This can be captured by the Kabalistic term: Kether. Heaven. Consciousness. The Ether. The realm of dreams, concepts, cognition, ideas, vision, imagination, insight.

  2. Bridging Processes (Building the connections between inner experience/process and outer conditions, relationships, and circumstances)

  3. External Projects and Circumstances. These can be captured in the Kabalistic term: Malkuth. The material, substantive, tangible expression of things. That which has been established, built, and which exists in form.

Being who I am, the first category, Inner Processes, Kether, is the one in which I feel constant activity and engagement.

The last category, External Project and Circumstances, is the one in which I tend to feel the least engagement.

My journey with Subliminal Club has been about crossing the divide, weaving the connection, and bridging the gap. Thus, my first journal here was called

My results show up quickly and clearly on the level of Kether. But my results show up gradually on the level of Malkuth.

But I am finding that the BRIDGE between them is gradually emerging and coming into being.

That bridge for me is represented in the subliminal GENESIS. For me, it’s much, much more than a ‘beginner’s program’. For some people, that’s all it would be. But since a big part of my life’s work involves forging my “Bifrost”, my bridge from Kether to Malkuth, then for me Genesis is a major, major program of central and profound importance.

And amazingly, I’m finding that it’s working.

It’s gradual. And I’ve repeatedly gotten the guidance: Trust the Process. It’s not just about Malkuth for you. It’s about Kether AND Malkuth. From Kether TO Malkuth.

There’s a timing to that.

And I’m here for it.

I’m diving deeper into the work of Eugene Gendlin. It’s the perfect thing to be doing right now.

As I move forward, I’ll dive into the work of Milton Erickson, Ira Progoff, Gregory Bateson/Nora Bateson, Stephen Gilligan. And Maxine Sheets-Johnstone.

This is it.

These are the right ideas.

How much time will I have for this?

I don’t know. But I know, at least, that it’s the right direction.

And what tangible products will come from this.

I don’t know.

We will see.

I seem to be feeling something coming into being.

In fits and starts.

It seems that an intellectual landscape may be opening up and clarifying.

With a deepening perspective on the psychic and consciousness development of a human being, life and history look very different. The relationship between time and cultural/social continuity seems less coherent and inevitable. Each generation iterates a society. There are many, many blips and disjunctures under the surface.

We cannot observe our learning process and we do not remember it or even experience it very clearly. This leads us to rewrite or simply construct history. Very inaccurately.

No crime here. But it is worth noting.

Imbue my mind with the flexibility to find, recognize, and receive the answers I seek. And better questions than I’ve already asked.
