And welcome** to the season finale for Kernel Talks. In our 24th episode, we'll cap the kernel of kernels, a review of the essence of all that has passed. Kernel Talks was the first, the pioneer of our substantial series this year β€” an emergence from a buffer of insight accumulated over the ages. The themes we've explored have since diversified into dozens of series with different tunings and audiences. With the conclusion of our first season, we transit into the third era β€” marked by better-calibrated coherence, a convergence of the themes we're exploring, with extended resources for your convenience. ### Into Clarity and Metacognition β€” The Tree of Our Awareness ΒΆ Then into our spectrum of topics. It all started with a _quest for clarity_. Rising to the witness plane, to a level of awareness beyond the problems. That's where solutions are found. With that, we opened the broader theme of _metacognition_, or awareness of awareness itself, and the many _abstract models_ that your awareness assumes as it makes sense of the world around you. _Primary archetypes_, existential operators, interpretive models of the brain β€” the applications are countless. The quad, the compass, the four elements, or the _four significant influences_ framing all of our situations. We have _earth_ β€” the supporting structure, the blueprint, our container. We have _water_ β€” the adaptive flux, our continuity. We have _fire_ β€” catalytic reactions in the interactive space. And we have _air_ β€” the pervading network of significance in our lives. Below this, we have the _phases of our lifecycle_, really stages of any given process. From the _baseline_, a vehicle embodiment; into _insight_ and orientation; into _impressions_ and feeling; into _wishes_, aspirations, potentials. Then the establishment of _will_, direction and intentions; and the engagement in _works_ of transformation. Then the _harvest_ of our essence, the integration of our yields, into _alignment_ and consummation of our potentials. Those are the _cross_ and the _octagon_ β€” basic instruments for orienting to existence. Beyond that, there is the _seer_ and the _seen_, awareness and substance, and their _bondage_, their intermingling. In between, the mirror, the _realm of reflections_, where our existence comes into being. That, in short, is the _tree of life_ taking countless expressions, and an abstract cognitive model, windows into the primary facets of your conscious existence. ### The Conditioned Subject β€” Truth, Actuality and Liberation ΒΆ With these baselines, we have taken a couple of journeys up and down the cosmic _ladder of consciousness_, reflecting on our identities and _roles in transit_, realizing the need to _reach beyond_. To reach beyond _subjective self-absorption_, reach beyond the _reactivity_ that exists in these finite framings. We've also looked at the negative side effects that follow from this fragmented absorption into your projections, your illusions, being _veiled from the fullness_ of your living potential. Along with the process of unbinding, unconditioning, the _liberation of consciousness_ from broken and ever-changing framings. Then we've also looked at the _distortions_ that happen when everything is self-referenced, everything happens through your _subjective lens_, and the _truth_ that is found in _actuality_ itself. Beyond manipulation by _subjective agendas_, outside of your individual field of distortion. And with that, there is the natural emergence of _collective ethics_, when we have _reframed our existence_ into an _integration_ with the collective. ### Into the Next Season β€” Shared Convergence of Perspectives ΒΆ That's the gist of the major topics in the 23 episodes that have been shared, with some tangents related to these concerns. Many of these topics have since been explored in our other series β€” some in more accessible snapshots, some in angles deeper and broader. The second season of Kernel Talks will return, more accessible and with a tidier build-up β€” extracting the perennial wisdom from countless traditions and from living experience into formats that fit on the palm of your hand. Stay tuned β€” and thank you for _sharing the journey_ so far. If any of this kindles questions or comments, agreements or disagreements β€” please feel _free to engage_. We are ever _evolving together_ β€” in a quest for the fullness of our perspectives.
