micro-manifesto

Ken Wilber talks about how we can't think our way to the next level of development - we have to live our way there.

This explains why I can understand concepts intellectually for years before they actually transform how I operate in the world.

Knowing isn't the same as being. Integration requires embodiment, not just comprehension.

Dear Future Self,

I'm no longer trying to become you.

Not because I've given up,

But because I finally understand:

You emerge from how gently I hold this moment,

Not from how fiercely I chase the next one.
