Season of Concentration • Nail the Points that Matter (PS005)
⁘ Created: 2025-12-02 ⁘ Updated: 2025-12-03
A time comes when you need to wrap the vapors and get to the point. But what counts as a point? The more it impacts your life — the more consequential that point. The broader its influence on all things — the more essential that point.
Then excavate and nail down those core points. Drop the rest — the rest doesn't matter. The rest matters when it's rooted. If you lack those roots, it's a fairy dance until the storm. Then it's all a scatter again. Plant those major poles.

Like a turtle withdraws into its shell... At some point, we need to get to the point. Sure, there's all sorts of potentially fantastic out there, but we cannot forever scatter and be diluted with the possibilities. We have to find aim direction, intention. Concentrate, withdraw — like a turtle draws its limbs within the shell.
So, that's all fine in principle, but the question remains, what exactly counts for a point? What do we attend to, what do we concentrate on? We're not talking about mere assertion, obsession, absorption in a particular thing or a particular field. These are shadows of the essential cognitive process.
What truly matters. That be the point. Simple, really. The deeper the influence and impact of a thing or principle on our lives is, the more consequential point there is to it. The broader its presence and dynamics in the fabric of existence, the more essential that point is. It is these very higher level core points that we need to establish.
These are the roots of the tree of life itself, the directors of everything that follows. Then, in getting to the point, do not obsess over tangents. Get to the points that matter. Look into yourself — what in me truly matters. There be the point to be sought.
The structures and constraints of my ego — that matters. The flux of my adaptations in the environment — that matters. My consequential responses in interaction — that matters. The big picture of my life and awareness as a whole — that matters. These are points and fields that matter on a very fundamental level, on a very elemental level.
Then, establish your foundations, firm and solid. The rest of your orientation will follow. Cut off the wings from your fairy dreams for once, plant the poles supporting the foundation of your path in life. Let go of your field of vapors, leave behind your holographic games — those are not the vehicle to carry you to the other shore.
With that, let us ponder what truly matters. And then, let us prioritize to match. If not, the storms ahead will leave you confused and scattered all over again. Time to get to the point. Time to plant your roots. Be real.
