performance over presence, transaction over connection, selfishness over selflessness i’m a messy bitch and i got a lot of cleaning up to doo

This is another great insight, thank you too!

I had the opposite issue! I first struck up a genuine connection outside her work, but then fumbled when I tried to force an interaction again the next day while she was working / blindsided. Without letting her know it advanced. Then I got confused, ashamed, and hurt as to why the two interactions went vastly different. And projected my feelings onto her. I still live with the shame to this day for how that unfolded. I wish I could go back and apologize for my behavior. Maybe in due time. Thank you for awakening an insight in me by opening up about your experiences.

How did that interaction go?

this systems thinking is helping me reintegrate back into tier 1 stages with heightened wisdom and clarity

We tend to assume that if you can’t see something, it isn’t real. But that’s not actually how discovery works. For example, bacteria were invisible until we invented the microscope. We didn’t reject bacteria because they were unseen. Rather, we just hadn’t built the tools to discover them yet. So what about experiences that science can’t measure yet? Think about Jesus and his miracles. Whether you believe in them or not, they weren’t meant to be lab experiments. They were meant to point at something deeper. At meaning and metaphor, not merely proof. That’s a completely different kind of knowing than what a textbook, a bank statement, or a certificate can show you. Now think about elite athletes. When someone does something physically insane, like breaking a world record, we don’t call it a miracle. We call it genetics, training, physics. We found a scientific explanation and stopped wondering if there was more to it. Here’s the thing though: some of the most powerful human experiences are internal. Spiritual moments, deep intuition, altered states of consciousness… they’re real to the one having them, but you can’t put them under a microscope. Science was built to study things you can repeat and measure externally. That doesn’t make inner experiences fake. It just means our current scientific paradigm wasn’t designed to hold them. The problem is that our society only takes seriously what fits inside the box that maintains survival. If you can’t prove that it keeps the system alive, it gets dismissed, immediately. But the box only detects what it was built to detect and sustain. That’s not the same as saying nothing exists outside it. Every major leap in human understanding happened when enough weird stuff piled up that the old explanations stopped working. The real question is whether we’re brave enough to take the unexplainable seriously

@Shakazulu There are healthy expressions and unhealthy expressions for each stage. I was framing it in my mind more broadly as a collective at how we are operating, not the individual.

Love stretches across infinite shades, and no single color could ever contain it

It’s a load of soup cus the society is built to reward a crock of poopy. And wise is relative here. You can be very wise with how you handle your finances and business life, but be very poor with your spirituality and capacity to understand what selflessness is. Is it wise to exploit poor and marginalized people to maximize profits? From a stage orange perspective, absolutely!

Not a cure, but a supplement for eye health called astaxanthin. It comes in a blackish-red softgel pill

How deep is your conformity? Can you feel the conformity surrounding you? Focus on your Force Poise ability, young one.

quiet light would also be a nice name

Thank you 😽

I am following my intuition and untangling myself from self-deception .

Love is in the room, knot you

How big is your ego? The smaller the better. — Hey, a tiny lady just passed by us. Now that’s good genetics!

The stage is the same; who is at the mic?
