If you aren't in the VIEW mindset, that means blocking off information.
'Impartiality' is a way of listening and acting without having an agenda, without choosing a side in the conflict ahead of the needed knowledge.
'Wonder' is a version of curiosity where the desire to know
my sense is that people who take a long time to respond to messages, or tend to go into shame spirals about them, often put a lot of pressure on themselves to respond in a specific way
So we are on the topic of horizons and thresholds, limits and walls, and their appropriately hidden transversals (vertere, from the root *wer-, “to turn, bend”). From this place, we understand liminality to be that initiatory threshold where the limits of our knowing meets the horizon of our being.
Emotional suppression can be a great short-term coping strategy. The problem, long-term, is that it is not surgically precise. I know you can’t suppress pain and anger without also deadening yourself generally. When I started to release my childhood resentments, I was surprised to find myself surrounded by brighter colors.
my tendency’s been to fixate on what’s difficult, painful, or scary in my experience, with a sincere desire to improve or change them. lately, i’m convinced there’s a better option: to shift my attention to what's good, beautiful, and pleasurable & allow those to saturate my life
