And so we shall make some statements, because it is fitting.

I will take on a few subjects now.. good luck to us all.

Relationships and Human Connection;

Your best friend.. can you just pick it back up.. anytime.. years apart?.. or does your best friend need regular maintenance.. are they demanding.. is anything demanding your friend? We are told.. relationships also need regular maintenance.. what good is that..

Zero expectation, maximum engagement - when engaged.

How many relationships decay under expectation? What someone felt they needed.. demanded... etc..

Love?.. I love people.. and want the best possible outcome in life for them... I don't demand it.. I don't push it.. I will probe, ask, question.. but participation is key..

I have written near this before.. love is without expectation.. but let's leap and add commitment..

But commitment framed around.. what will you build together...

I love you...

And..

I commit to you..

To separate things... I'd argue.

And even then.. what do we commit to?.. is it contractual... disclosed.. open.. etc.. do we know what we agree to?.. do we want to know?..

Stand beside someone who will be as real/honest as they can be with another human. Time's are tough.. troubled.. and otherwise..

Stand beside someone who will give you their best...

And be your best.. with that.

Copyright.. Patents..

What do these things do?..

So because someone came first, or found superior position.. be it by power, finance, design..

These things, found good - largely, with error in the details - they go first...

What a gatekeeping operation..

So.. what are your memories?

Consideration given to past lives, and time spent before.

A memory of yourself.. shards of yourself..

it is possible we have been here before, many times, in one shape or form. As said before, if we're single use humans than what a waste of resources making us so complex. Consciousness, personality.. is complex.

Remember yourself then, and collect yourself.

in a reality that pulls you every which way, deny the influence - and focus on you - the one.

And what good.. then.. are memories.. we are suggested they are nostalgia.. "remember these times..."

A fleeting memory of a time, that was, but will never will be, and never was really what we thought of it.. selectively picking away at what we feel we remember and what it meant.

Lessons? Sure.

Heed the wisdom of your past.. but do not anchor yourself there..

Our society/culture could learn from this...

"What gets us into trouble
is not what we don't know.
It's what we know for sure
that just ain't so."
~ Mark Twain

I feel that man, is the beast. When in nature, he is the noble savage, within himself (his system) he is this monster. As he no longer has to contend with nature, instead, can build his own reality. But without the guidance of nature, and harmony with the reality - we end up with this system of enslavement.. because we are slaves to our lower selves when removed from nature..

- Conversation with a friend.

Detain, turn into slave, trust with basic tasks, promise to elevate, proves trustworthy - welcome to tribe, proves manipulative or weak... toss.

Example, psychology, covid era;

Leaders and people of power, turned on demanded position and held honest ground. Many lost career, position, status. Many then took up trades, handyman, basic jobs to maintain their immediate 3d reality.

So some of these men, women, are already in position. Having been "slaves" to a new reality that caught them off guard or out of position.

In post world reality, if it is honest submission, to build trust.. that will be tricky to navigate but possible. If someone can honestly submit to you and you can not become a tyrant.. then there is hope.

I call this observation the great sideways, and our reality has been into it for maybe 10-20 years now... perhaps more... nothing ever really happens.. more of a nudge theory thing.

Collectively we are pushed, nudged, tested on ideas, motions, marketing..

The challenge really.. is that the overall system has not moved very much, but the people under its hand have. Nothing new under the sun.. except for the people delivering the message...

This might make you see my opinion as invalid but I don’t believe consciousness is real but Instead a word or concept. There is nothing that differentiates us from other animals more than our complexity. My opinion is that our high adaptability is the key factor. imagining the development of survival capability for our species, I notice we spread everywhere as we are nomadic but then stay to a certain trail. Other humans have others and when we convene we exchange tactics of survival that are needed for different environments. Allowing us to live in a wider range, this continues forever until we fight over land but, as we are introduced into new environments we learn more ways to adapt and thus keep learning in a snowball effect. Killer whales do this too but their environment doesn’t change by many factors as they don’t have opposable thumbs and are carnivores. They therefore have a much simpler environmental affect so they can’t adapt as well. Especially with them being in water. But that’s my theory. The point is there is no need for consciousness when you see human intelligence as a network of information. Our connection to each other is instinctively pleasurable no matter the method. But this doesn’t disprove consciousness in any way. Nor does it become invalid if consciousness exists. I just think deciding consciousness exists is kind of arbitrary since it’s functionally used to either understand what sets us apart from other animals or to make us seem more special than we already are. Which is also instinctually pleasurable
