The Game Changer

This repost rekindles an old but familiar flame… That’s us! is my response.
But maybe this time around we will fight for our rights not against others but with compassion, community, and cooperation, rather than just defiance.
Defiance doesn’t always set the best example for people with difficulties in self reflection and self regulation. It can backfire through no fault of our own.
Maybe this time we will be empowered to choose a more harmonious and wiser path. To my mind this means that we must do some of the work of self regulation and self reflection for those whose shortcomings are in that area. It is an area in which we all need to grow, after all. Proprio-ception. Self Awareness.
If enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries meant the development of objective reason, reductive analysis, and our dominion over the outer world, then hopefully the enlightenment we are experiencing today in many different fields of science and culture is about subjective but felt integrative awareness of the inner systems that we all share among us.
Neurologically this is called proprio-ception and it has its own relatable and specific anatomy as well as its own view of life. Let’s go there together.
The hope that emerges within us is that our recognition and affirmation of our own identities will be something within us that brings us all together and not apart. There is a place within us where everyone finds they can share and support each other in life, together. All of us.
The truth of our innermost self is a kind of animal intelligence and quantum connectome that we can safely and intuitively rely upon going forward. This is the game changer.
It is literally right under your nose, has always been there, and always will be. All you have to do is to get acquainted a little bit.
