Abstraction becoming too much to wrap my head around

2 posts in this topic

Leo's video on holons is too abstract for me. This has happened the first time ever that a video of his is too abstract for me! This didn't even happen in his 'What is Perception?' video, although it got close. It didn't even happen in the 'Sameness vs Difference' video, although again, it got close. This time it was just too much for my mind!

I can work very well with systems. I can wrap my head around systems and work with and solve systemic problems. That is my creative capacity as a mental-modeller, I create systems. But, when I started trying to wrap my head around the concept of holons, contemplating it, it just became too much. It became too boring, quite frankly. The mental effort expended to wrap my head around it felt like it not being worth it.

I can understand it on a mental level. But, I'm unable to wrap my head around the ramifications of looking at the world through this lens and to actually integrate this concept into my metaphysics.

I'm not seeing this as a 'problem to solve', I request you to not look at it like that. My question is - Have you faced a similar situation? What came out of it?

You might be missing few dots so you can connect all the dots...

Your ego doesn't want to solve the problem because it is the problem.
