Basia's Thoughts

This episode is actually inspired by a Disney song. 

We all probably know that what we focus on we tend to notice more of and who/what we identify as provides a perspective for our life.   These are almost cliché, and yet when used wisely can prove life changing.

Many of our globally most impactful problems can be traced back to an "we - they" outlook on life.  It is the ancient win-lose game of tribes that is currently no longer possible to uphold and have humanity and most of the species on Earth survive.

In the podcast I mention a pdf I just finished drawing with these insights.  Download the pdf with my pictures, called "The Societal Glitch", from here: http://basiapiechocinska.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/The-Societal-Glitch.pdf

The song, previously alluded to, is called "You're Welcome", and if listened to with a particular mindset provides a beautiful use of the idea of focus on what is true and beautiful together with an insight regarding our inextricable identity with all that is.   You are given, gifted the ability to play your very particular and creative role because of all that is.  You can be you because of everything else and every being that came before you.  You have not "earned" it.  You have not "paid" for it.  You are gifted it.  You're welcome.

By listening to the song and seeing, Maui, the demi-god, as a representation of Nature, you can get that feeling.

Sometimes it may be difficult to see how steeped in judgement we are and what it leads to.  So, we start out by looking at the violence inherent in common compliments.

We talk about how not only compliments but all sorts of rewards and payments rob us of our joy and creativity.

We mention how our global, interconnected civilisation has interdependent and exponentially growing risks that increase our probability of extinction and how their interconnectedness requires an approach beyond that of one side winning, while another takes a hit.

We note that it seems that our inner nature is more aligned with a possible solution.  That inner nature is adapted through our current societies to learn to live in judgement.

We also look at how negative judgment, through manipulation, etc, can lead to traumas.  (If you enjoyed this part I have a whole course on how we are shaped on Udemy.com.  Just search for my course on Bioenergetics there.)

Finally we point to our inner guidance system, which actually tells us when we are going against our inner nature.  By spending more time just being, relaxing all physical, mental, and emotional tensions we can become more sensitive to it and will have an easier time to find a non-violent, heart-centred way of being that takes us beyond judgement and into the possibility of creating a beautiful world.

Can we bring more magic and miracles into our life?

What are some essential aspects of a magical life?  Can we do anything to encourage the expression of miracles?

We find that awe, an open and expansive sense of surprise, appears to be an aspect of magic.  For it to be deeply satisfying we would like it to also have meaning that ties all thing together, making it almost inevitable.

Such is the nature of art that is able to reach and touch us.  To experience it we need to be open.  Thus we talk about how to become more open.

That also brings us to fear and ways in which fear closes down creativity.  We can easily identify the moments in our days that reinforce fear and then choose if we wish to continue such practices.

A friend recommended I listen to a podcast on stupidity, where the question was posed:  "Why are we acting in ways that hurt ourselves and others?  Are we stupid?"

(The podcast was from Dystopia and it is in Swedish.  You can download it from here https://sverigesradio.se/topsy/ljudfil/srse/7878377.mp3)

I find that when we act in myopic ways that are counterproductive to ourselves and possibly others it is often related to an addiction.  And it can be argued that our current systems, such as capitalism, lead us in this direction.   

Also, to be able to make a living we will often be asked to follow the rules of a system that is in the end detrimental to the planet at large and to humanity in particular.   Thus we may end up doing the opposite of what we actually intend.  Perhaps we wish to heal people and so we become a physician, but end up having to follow absurd policies that end up creating more suffering.

We ask how we ended up with such systems and go even beyond capitalism and to the need of organisational capacity, which in the past has been tied to structures of power.   We look at how inefficient these structures are at utilising the human creative and problem solving potential and mention alternative ways.

Today we talk about two thieves of joy that are interweaved.   They are expectations and judgements.

In societies where things work well and our expectations are met we are often accompanied by these joy thieves.  They rob us of the present moment.

In societies where things rarely go the way we would expect them to we eventually have to learn to let go of our expectations.  And when we do that, we embark on a more present, joyous and liberating journey in life.

We may still have inspired intentions as to what we would like, but we let the universe surprise and delight us with their execution as we participate fully.

Expectations are types of judgements about how things should be.  When they are not met we are often left feeling powerless.   And reactions such as judgments may temporarily feel more empowering and energising than connecting to the feeling of powerlessness.

Finding ways of letting go of external and internal expectations, we can reclaim the joy that is there for us in the present moment.

We talk about the importance of learning to look for what is positive. 

We mention that perhaps as a survival mechanism we have developed certain biases that are helpful when we are young but make thriving more difficult over time.  In particular, we mention senescence and the negativity bias.

Then, we ask how one may go about solving problems and see that we often tend to use optimisation for that purpose.  Indeed, much of our society uses it calling it rhetoric, public relations, advertisement, etc.

We discuss how optimisation leads us away from what is "true" and ultimately brings about damage through a perverse type of system, if insisted upon.  We also talk about how our ontological essence is beyond the finite and can therefore never hope to be captured, represented by, or fully satisfied by any optimised system.

Then, I talk about my favourite alternative problem solving method, which goes through inspiration. 

Finally, I share the practice of emotional surfing.

Stress in complex systems leads to an adaptive response, if it does not terminate the system. 

In this episode we look at hermetic stress for our body and how it may provide health hacks.

Then we look at how stress to our "adversaries" may lead to, for us, unpleasant reactions.  We look at the current pandemic situation and at the types of immune stresses being put on the virus.  I mention my article on this http://basiapiechocinska.com/the-dark-side-of-vaccines/.

Then we talk about how our thought patterns are complex systems as well, adapting to their surroundings and how parasitic processes can get a hold of us and lead us into addictions.

Finally we talk about society in general and how we have recently been experiencing a stress on our freedom and how this may bring about a reaction.  Thus the more totalitarian direction may usher in an age of never before seen freedom.

How can we have a more deeply satisfying life?  Perhaps if we gain clarity around why we are here we will be able to see our purpose and then possibly move in a direction of fulfilling it, and that might be satisfying.

We all seem to want to move in the direction that makes us feel better.   If we follow this we might end up with greater satisfaction but the more limitations we identify with, the more limited our satisfaction will be.   This is because we will attempt to defend those limitations to make sure we can satisfy the needs related to them.  We will tend to become more selfish.  This will reduce our satisfaction as greed, defensiveness, isolation, etc become more prominent.

If we instead take the path of service to others, then we will notice that a problem may arise if we move far enough, as we neglect our personal needs.  This may be draining and not as deeply satisfying.

What is the path?  Some might say that the most satisfying solution is to find balance.   But is it?
1
Or is there another path that is even more satisfying?  The path I propose is that of transcendence.  We discussed it in the episode 39, on the Unifying and Transcending Dynamics.  It means to find what it perpendicular to it and moving into that dimension.   It means to move up the pendulum of duality.

Thus, in this case you are not here for your particular self, nor are you here for others, instead you are here as an expression of divinity.   And when you can live from that you will be able to find an even deeper level of satisfaction.

We end this episode by talking about how you can use intention in order to start applying the idea of being an expression of the infinite.

In this explorative episode we ask the material universe might be created as a type of Fourier Transform and how that could relate to more "New Age" types of ideas.

We also ask about the atemporal types of experiences that people who experience near death circumstances go through and how they might be connected to the ideas of a frequency space.

If the material universe is based on something like a Fourier Transformation, then all that is is created from a sort of primordial "sound".

It would be interesting to know what the primordial frequencies are.  And so, physics explorations may be fruitful.  If we choose to explore a more spiritual path, then quieting the mind may provide us greater access to the frequency space, from which timelines originate.

If you are interested in more physics oriented types of explorations of the Holographic Order, based on as few suppositions as possible, then you may enjoy "Physics from Wholeness: Dynamical Totality as a Conceptual Foundation for Physical Theories".

We talk about the pervasiveness of the Holographic Order and how by aligning with it we may be served.  This is equally important and useful for what is perhaps seen as most fundamental science, such as physics, as for social constructions, and what may seem to be spiritual or religious.

We start by talking about how physicists look for un underlying order, beyond space-time, and how the physicist David Bohm looked for the Generative Order, that would also bring a direction into the dynamics and be capable of a sort of creativity.   We mention how the quantum theory originally moved us away from ontology, and took physics to be algorithms with predictive power.

We ask if we can base our search for the underlying order on something more certain than the dubious supposition of materialism.  And so, instead with build the most real ontology we can think of and by logically following three realisations we end up in the Holographic Order.

The assertions are that:  1.  There is Being. 2.  Being is unique. 3. A consequence of Being being unique we get the Holographic Order.

Then we look at how reflecting the holographic order in our societal structures may be of benefit.   Finally, we look at how we personally may start using the naturally holographic structure in our lives.
