Slipped to Swamp โ€” Inquiry Back to Awareness (LA001)
  • โŠ‚ talks โІ living-awareness โ˜ created 2025-10-22 โ˜ updated 2025-10-22 โ˜ words 631 โ˜ 03:33 min
  • Damn! Slipped and fell again from a plane of clarity. Mere moments ago I was the calm witness of existence. What manner of magic is this? Why do I stumble and fall? What can I do to immunize myself โ€” to not be pulled under? We enter the process of self-inquiry โ€” both general and specific. Train yourself to remember โ€” remember to ask the right questions!

Self-Inquiry โ€” From Egg-Shells to Self-Realization (LA002)
  • โŠ‚ talks โІ living-awareness โ˜ created 2025-10-23 โ˜ updated 2025-10-23 โ˜ words 631 โ˜ 03:54 min
  • What is real self-inquiry? Let's be very clear. It's not an affirmation repetition exercise. It's not a disconnected philosophical indulgence. It's a method of shifting attention to your source. In our quest for the source of raw prime consciousness, we discover and extract our attention from veiling shells. Go deeper, go further inward. Seek the ultimate inquirer. Read more...

The Nest of Your Mind โ€” Not You, Stop Meddling! (LA003) โ–ธ

The Nest of Your Mind โ€” Not You, Stop Meddling! (LA003)
  • โŠ‚ talks โІ living-awareness โ˜ created 2025-10-24 โ˜ updated 2025-10-24 โ˜ words 692 โ˜ 04:12 min
  • Hectic pursuit for your peace of mind is unlikely to land you anywhere calm or lucid. Obsessed with tweaking and tuning your mental frame, wrestling it into shape โ€” you simply stir your nest. Your mind would be better off without your meddlings. No need to turn it into a basecamp for your identity. Read more...

Integrated Self-Inquiry โ€” Risks and Yields (LA004) โ–ธ

  • โŠ‚ talks โІ living-awareness โ˜ created 2025-10-25 โ˜ updated 2025-10-25 โ˜ words 763 โ˜ 04:26 min
  • Inquire yourself away โ€” leap into yonder transcendence? If you're a sage in a loincloth โ€” sure that's an option. The rest of us must reconcile our evolving self-awareness. Mindful self-navigation, unveiling, into living integration. Risk of dissociation is very real with unhinged practice. Encounter the aspects of your being and witness them as-is. Read more...

Witness of Presence and Recognitions (LA005) โ–ธ

Witness of Presence and Recognitions (LA005)
  • โŠ‚ talks โІ living-awareness โ˜ created 2025-11-09 โ˜ updated 2025-11-09 โ˜ words 885 โ˜ 05:50 min
  • When we speak of witnessing and observation, visualization exercises will not set us free. Self-inquiry is not a method for subject shifting. It's a process of peeling away our false identities. We are not the "seer", the "hearer" or the "observer". There is seeing, there is hearing, there is observation. In a neutral state, we recognize and acknowledge what is. Read more...

  • Where we have lofty ideas, where we wish to express and implement them, we must have lucid and well-rounded models of operation. We embrace these principles in our inner conscious architecture โ€” and we externalize them in a matching reflection. As within โ€” so without. Communication, coordination and collaboration precede culmination. Read more...

Windows of Observation โ€” The Metacognitive Tree (CS002) โ–ธ

  • โŠ‚ talks โІ conscious-systems โ˜ created 2025-10-30 โ˜ updated 2025-10-30 โ˜ words 803 โ˜ 05:33 min
  • Walk-through of the planes of your consciousness. Windows into the facets of your cognitive architecture. Tiers of composition and deconstruction โ€” perspectives for unbinding from our conditions. This is not metaphysical speculation. This is consciousness technology โ€” the methodical cultivation of clear observation. Read more...

Return to Clarity โ€” Beyond Cognitive Distortion (CS003) โ–ธ

Return to Clarity โ€” Beyond Cognitive Distortion (CS003)
  • โŠ‚ talks โІ conscious-systems โ˜ created 2025-11-02 โ˜ updated 2025-11-03 โ˜ words 1176 โ˜ 08:00 min
  • We seek a path back to clarity. What is clarity though? How do we reclaim our clear perception? Clarity is the recognition of objective actuality. Clarity is natural when your cognitive distortions are removed. Your cognitive stack has multiple concern domains. Each of them is a potential lens of distortion. Read more...

  • Casting of abstract patterns and expansion of cognitive circuitry. Not just for the amusement of cosmopolitan musings. That too but. But there's more in the works here. Here we reframe all things. Fields of nuance are spread across countless semantic fields. This is a pattern farming exercise. Hybridization of symbols. Distilled essence is seeded and harvested from diverse fields. Read more...

  • Early reflections to friends and their worthy initiative for supporting the well-rounded evolution of consciousness. Yes โ€” we need such basic framings that are self-evident, the operationalization of common-sense living patterns, perspectives so obvious that most have become oblivious. Not hypothetical models โ€” just re-establishing core essentials. Read more...

Operational Ego โ€” Our Roles and Instruments (M005)
  • โŠ‚ talks โІ metaloom-reviews โ˜ created 2025-08-30 โ˜ updated 2025-09-14 โ˜ words 2082 โ˜ 14:17 min
  • Your "the ego"? There is no such monolithic ego. We are complex entities โ€” not one-dimensional blobs. You are a rich system of concern domains in a stack. We operate in diverse contexts with our capacities. Our contextual attention directs our "incarnations". You cannot get rid of "the ego" as a whole. You can't also learn to live with "the ego".

  • Looking for knowledge? Pinning down the truth? How? Direct perception? Analytical reason? Standard authority? In the ever-changing flux of details, truth just passes by. But there is truth in basic patterns and general principles. Yet we must resign from ourselves to eliminate subject bias. Witnessing without intention or projection โ€” enter actuality. Read more...

  • We have no need to craft and create new insight. It's all there in the countless traditions of contemplation. It's inherent in existence itself. When traditions become veiled by their specific clutter, it's time to re-extract. We look into decluttering and extracting patterns of essence and tour the Dharmic landscape of wisdom traditions.

  • Civilization collapse. Terminal looming for this train wreck of a world we live in.

  • Nuclear winter is the little winter. Big winter is the thermal death of cognition. Broad-spectrum entropy of our integrated system. Degradation of the links that bind us all together.

  • Let's talk about God. As in, actually. They ask me, Do you believe in God? Your God, a God, the God, or what God? A vague and most meaningless question. Let's talk about the God of Abraham et al. Let's review candidate Gods from the existential fabric. Prime consciousness. Transcendent Nondual God: Potential field beyond formations. Immanent Omnipresent God: Collective system of all knowledge. Read more...

  • Someone comes up with an insight. Not on the market yet. Mere moments later, that insight becomes their ego ride. We longer operate in service of the insight itself. Instead, the insight is harnessed as your ego's slave. Then we are driven by a burning need to push it out there. For validating ourselves, for establishing our special status. Read more...

  • Who are we? What am I to you, you to me? I alone unto myself, you in your context? What you make of it, whatever "me" is built, it is the "me" that exists in your weavings. Then in our intersections โ€” the "us" us born. I am there in many reflections of your essence. All are friends unbound โ€” some known and others not.

  • When you seek the deep essence of what you are. Soar not with the high winds into entropy afar. Enter the cave and encounter your inner gravity. Blueprints etched into the ground of your being. If you do not excavate the nature of your roots. If there is no container for your living harvest. If there is no closed sphere of self-reflexivity. No reactions, no reconciliation, no integration.

  • Translated from Finnish source material. Porcupine has spikes. Bird has feathers. Human child has centered brains. When wonky, we are but human animals. Sometimes a mole lurking underground. Often a fish going with the stream. Sometimes a wasp stinging without cause. Even at times a bird hovering in the skies. But let's come back home too. Base human nest isn't in the animal nests of phenomenal world. Read more...
