Following threads of not knowing and seeing what structures they form. Delighting in the pulse of life and the moment. Trusting in living systems, the cosmos and the trip that is life.

Interoceptive awareness also has existential dimensions. It creates awareness of our self as a body and provides us with an integrated sense of self.

NB re understanding others’ perspectives and relating
Knowing can just be knowing peace. There doesn't always have to be a causal or linear relationship where there is a problem and then we come to know the solution. Or where we have a question and then come to know the answer.
We can know love, we can know cold, we can know peace and joy. And there doesn't have to be any urgency.
Fundamentally then, school and all educative experiences must empower the learner to think freely about the complex world around them, and thus should be a liberator of oppression, not the reinforcer of it.

If we equate violence with power we will not want ro be powerful unless we also accept being violent. But if we believe that violence equals power we also won't want to be soft and gentle, because in a world where people rely on violence for power this feels dangerous. So we are stuck in a bind wanting to exercise our power, trying to not be

Thoughts: like we are adding new elements to our perception, but still using old frameworks, rigid and resistant to change, and so instead of the new elements (eg AI) falling into place within a restructured mental map they exercise undue impact on the structure, basically contorting it - north is no longer north metaphorically speaking - the mental map is distorted by these elements that don’t fit into it, because the element we are trying to fit into the map affects the map itself. Picture a magnet with a too large gravitational field (in terms of meaning) pulling everything into a different shape - and so it isn’t a question of how we talk about the new element only, it’s a question of how we talk about everything under the influence of the new element. Like being intoxicated? Seeing through a looking-glass?
Second thought: now more NB who is saying what, the context, as the article says…..what would orient us otherwise? Earth, senses, agency. Have we given these away bit by bit, in the name of choice and opportunity and potential and possibility, so that we are focussed on guidance outside ourselves, or we just took the guidance outside such as religion, parents etc and replaced it with pseudo-choice and are therefore happy to place our power in someone out there, still believing this is our choice we are freely-making and to see the power we have given away we would have to see the whole context - all the micro give-aways of our power.
