Joy + Pride

We tend to say
"Oh I am so proud of you!"
as a way to acknowledge a type of satisfaction over someone's achievement compared to others,
most likely within close circles, close friends or families or co-workers.

Making someone (we care) proud has been serving as a core motivator for some maybe most of us.

This core motivator has been working for most of us for a long long time.

What does this imply?

It implies that
- we seek external validations to witness and acknowledge our inner worth
- we seek to "out-compete" someone else to been seen by those we care
- we attach inner worth with our ability to perform according to someone's expectations

If our internal worth mis-aligns with such conditional performance,
we may feel temporary happiness and then fall into a deep yearning for true meaning and new beginnings.

If our internal worth aligns with such conditional performance,
we will feel deep joy but we also face the risk of turning performance into an obligation to always "do better" or "match the expectations;" therefore, robbing us of the un-conditional joy we feel simply by aligned being and doing.

For example, witnessing Alysa Liu's radiant smile while sharing her talent in figure skating, I got an intuition that she may have done deep inner work to de-tach true joy from pride and expectations.

Let's re-imagine:

How about we focus our attention and intention to true alignment and true joy instead?

Will we have un-conditional focus into every moment while we simply BE and Do?

Will we be able to witness and enjoy every growth moment regardless of the outcome or perceptions from others, even those we care the most?

By simply switching from pride to joy, we may unlock our inner creative vitality to fully embrace an ever expansive journey with deep resilience.

Have you experienced a moment when you shifted from pride to joy? Did you feel as sense of burden or a deep release?

Spend + Invest

We speak the word "spend" often times through our subconsciousness.
What does "spend" mean?

According to most dictionaries, it means to "pay" or "consume."

We say,

I have spent over 20 years helping...
or
I spend my mornings replying emails...
or
I will spend this afternoon grocery shopping...
or
I plan to spend this Sunday with family in a zoo...

Based on personal intuition, the underlying awareness of the word "spend" is mostly constructed on the archetype of consumption without awareness to satisfy something, maybe the un-satiable feeling of not enough, or a desire to be carried by something bigger than ourselves, or a deep yearning for meaning?

It can be reductive, it implies that as we spend, we subtract, not add.
I would like to invite us to re-imagine.

How about Invest?

I have invested over 20 years helping...
or
I invest my mornings replying emails...
or
I will invest this afternoon grocery shopping...
or
I plan to invest this Sunday with family in a zoo...

Based on personal intuition, the underlying awareness of the word "invest" is mostly constructed on the archetype of conscious doing and being with a clear intention. This word helps us to bring our decisions back to our consciousness.

It can be regenerative, it implies that as we invest, we add, not subtract.

(well, in modern times, as we invest, we may fall into another type of reductiveness through attachment to massive returns in shortest times; therefore, creating another layer of subtraction. This is a different topic for another time)

Let's re-imagine,

What if, when we invest, we simply bring a loving intention of co-contribution?
So, what do you plan to invest your time in next?

Rituals and Rhythms

Rituals feel rigid, while Rhythms feel fluid

In ancient times,
we build rituals to show reverence to the divine within and without.
we calculate rhythms to guide collaborations with nature and human body.

In modern times,
we reduce rituals as a personal wellness practice.
as for rhythms, we tie it mostly to the economical charts in the market.

Rituals close space.
Rhythms open space.

So, how do we re-imagine our relationship with rituals and rhythms?

Maybe...

Rituals are the divine structure to contain and facilitate the flow of our energies in a certain space and time.

Rhythms are the divine movement to awaken our energy to its eternal truth that is fluid, transformative, and resilient beyond space and time.

Practically,

Rituals provide mini structures in our daily life with specific intention; while rhythms bestow deep trust within us through all sorts of happenings individually or collaboratively, regulating our nervous systems, anchoring our emotions, and aligning our behaviors dynamics with deep integrity and resilience.

How do you currently perceive rituals and rhythms?

Balance and harmony ?

Balance feels like a static state, a perfect state, and a dead state.

Harmony feels like a dynamic state, an imperfect state, and a living state.

Perfect balance feels like screenshot of a moment that too shall pass.

There is no perfect harmony, for harmony is like a movie, made of billions of imperfect moments relating to each other into possibilities.

Balance feels stable yet lacks pure potentials.

Harmony feels unstable yet filled with pure momentum and potency.

Aiming for the balanced state conjures consistent friction and pressure.

Aiming for imperfect harmonic state releases tension and ancestral fear of not enough, into a revitalized sense of abundance.

May harmony be with us all.

Been reading David Wood's recent article on the topic of active trans-humanism.

What a word! What does it really mean and how does it contribute to a flourishing state of society or what David calls "sustainable superabundance for all" ?

As NBIC technologies (Nano, Bio, Cogno, Info) advances, we have an increased potential to witness five radical transformations: Superlongevity, Superintelligence, Superhappiness, Superdemocracy, and Supernarrative.

With advances, there come shadows. To safely guide this process, David suggest us to consider thirteen ethical principles that balance great opportunities with serious existential dangers.

These principles emphasize
-human responsibility (radical agency),
-an open and scientific approach (science and data) (I would also here, advocate for the magic and power of our intuitions and inner knowings. Not all real things can be seen and therefore measured),
-proactive risk management (vigilance), and
-inclusive social values (mutual welfare and diversity).

By considering these principles through targeted initiatives, such as uplifting education (or true wisdom development and sharing) and collective intelligence, humanity can navigate the chaos ahead and successfully realize this unprecedented flourishing future.

The essential message here?

We need to be an active re-imaginator and participator in this process to increase the possibilities of collective flourishing.

This intention anchors into our daily actions, inner thoughts, social interactions, decision makings, and other "beingness" as a human in a social and environmental inter-relationship on this magical planet earth. 🌍

Be seen 👁️

We desire to be seen,
as if not,
we don’t exist.

We crave to be seen,
as if not,
there is no need to exist.

Even for those who say,
“I don’t care to be seen.”
would feel energized when seen.

Why the need to be seen?

I don’t know.

The desire to be seen has long been creating tensions in this world,
inside our hearts, soul, and consciousness

It sways us from inner truth
It sways us from mysterious silence
It sways us from our own rhythm
It sways us from the eternal light within

It creates desires, which
separate us from us,
internally and externally

What if to be seen
is already done?

What if the external world is never meant to be the witness but simply a reflection ?

What if we are already seen
by our own soul?

What if this is it.

Souls as eternal witnesses,
not loud
not crowded
not narrow

but quiet
but empty
but expansive

May we embody
the sacred knowing that

each one of us
is already seen
by the eternal soul.

This is enough.

This is simple.

This is love as we are. 🌎

The Mid Way. 💜


We love the One Way,

for it brings us certainty and predictability

for it aligns with the flat world

a world where all dimensions are reduced into one dimensional lines.


We respect the One way,

for it brings structure where comparison gives power to the mind.


The Mid Way is scary.

for it removes certainty and predictability

for it aligns with the real world

a world where all dimensions are viberantly as they are.


We despise the Mid Way,

for it removes structure and comparison renders no power to the mind.


But

The Mid Way brings us love.

Love that possesses nothing

Love that compares nothing

Love that is not a game of power

Love that is empty yet includes everyone and everything


It is uncomfortable to love the Mid Way


Yet

If we truly love

We love the Mid Way.

We are the Mid Way.

The other earth angel I met.

After a hike in the woods 🌲with my husband and our retriever mix, we went into another supermarket..(well, it is holidays seasons…so…)

I was walking around the hot bar 🥙and salad bar 🥗 isle, and all of a sudden, I caught a glimpse of a golden aged woman:

She has beautiful and elegant silver hair 🧑‍🦳, abit curly. She is about 5’2” dressed in a beautiful cream sweater and a pair of dark pants ( I actually couldn’t remember if it was pants or dress)

Something about her was so attractive that I simply couldn’t move my eyes away from her.

Maybe it was her bright eyes 👀, maybe it was her fair complexion,
Maybe it was the glow in her skin,
maybe it was about the way she carries herself,

Maybe it was something invisible to the eye but visible to my full perception…

Still I don’t have the answer.

Then we looked into each others’ eyes.

I was caught off guard and felt a bit embarrassed, so I looked away.

I then went back to focus on packing some food to go.

As I came to the cashier, there she was again, standing right in front of me.

I could hear my heartbeats.

Then she turned around and said, “please go ahead, you just have two items, it should go quick for you.”

“Awwww thank you so much!” I looked into her eye again and smiled happily.

As we continue to wait in lines, she asked, “can you help me on something?”

“Sure !” I said.

“Could you help me open this bottle of water ? The cap was a bit too tight for me (my muscle) to open.”

My husband happily took over the water bottle, and “click” the cap was opened in a simple snap. (we were unable to figure out how to unlock the top sports cap, so we just snapped open the whole lid)

“Thank you !” She smiled happily.

We waved goodbye and wished each other happy holidays as we parted our ways off the cashier.

My heart was once again filled with lovely warmth.

Was that because it was holidays seasons, so moments like those happen more often ?

Or was it because I was investing more attention to small yet mighty moments like this to feel its magic ?

I don’t know.

With so much unknowns, I still believe in the deep kindness within each of us and those simple yet divine moments of joyful giving and receiving.

Happy holidays and may you find your earth angels in this magical time and space, an experience we call “life.”

🌲🍡🍃🌍✨🎶

Do you believe in earth angels ?

I do.

(My evidence based dimension is asking for the evidence…)

But if we believe, all evidence becomes irrelevant.

Nevertheless, I would like to share the stories with you.

In daily lives, we come into contact with humans who effortlessly demonstrate radical kindness and a deep understanding that we are all at some level connected to each other.

I met the first one in an Asian supermarket.

I was selecting some pears 🍐 standing between the fruit isles 🍐.

Just as I was about to walk pass a woman, she turned around and passed me a bag of sweet 🍊 oranges.

“Happy winter solstice.”

I looked up and saw this woman with a light purple hair, smiling beautifully, her face glowing.

“That’s right! We are about to celebrate the winter solstice.” I thought to myself, feeling the joy of one more thing to celebrate during this festive season.

Sweet oranges are typical fruit to eat during winter solstice for its richness in vitamin C and its rounded shape, signifying completeness and full blessing. Unlike traditional oranges, they are much smaller in size and taste like juicy sparks of citrus that dance across your tongue.👅 soo sweet and so fresh. And if you dare, you can put a whole one into your mouth and it will be a super interesting experience (please be mindful of some seeds inside :).

I happily accepted the oranges and smiled back.

She continued, “Remember to enjoy some sweet dumplings 🍡 too!”

“Will do!” I responded, “ May you have a beautiful and delicious winter solstice as well!”

She smiled back and we each returned to our previous business.

As I walked, a sense of joy rushed throughout my body.

To receive a simple blessing and reminder from a total stranger fills my heart with tremendous warmth.

What prompted her to pass the oranges to me, a stranger?

I don’t know.

But I believe, at that moment of radical kindness, both of us resonated in pure joy and pure desire to give + receive.

(I will take a pause here and continue the story of another one tomorrow)

As we move into the celebrative seasons, I invite you to open our minds and spirits and create space for radical kindness from and for a total stranger. ✨💜

The Higher the Better…? (pt2)

We are fragmented into Lower, Middle, or Higher states.

This very flatline measure runs our world.

In education, we separate students into lower, middle, and upper ranks through exams and grades.

In business and social organisations, we separate talents into lower, middle, and upper ranks across the invisible hierarchical ladder.

Most importantly, deep into our consciousness and subconsciousness, we attach emotions and, most importantly, “meaning” to this flatline measure:

We think, feel, and act according to this:

Higher = More Meaningful

If we see ourselves as being in the lower state, we feel sad, anxious, and depressed.

We may become jealous and start to deliberately compromise others whom we see as being at a higher state. This is where the “tall poppy syndrome” (populated by Dr. Rumeet Billan) could play a role in the human space, such as work, school, community, and even families (sadly).

If we see ourselves as being in the middle state, we feel stuck and seek a breakthrough.

If we see ourselves as being in the upper state, we feel proud and we tilt our chin just a bit higher. And, we will do everything to maintain this state, ideally forever.

Now, let’s zoom back out again.

Us, being part of the vast universe consciousness, what would this consciousness say?

Maybe this consciousness would say, “Why would we willingly trap ourselves into this flatline measure in the first place? Aren’t we multi-dimensional and infinite by design already?”

Maybe, “Lower, Middle, Upper, all part of a bigger and richer experience.”

Or maybe “there are no fundamental meanings to those states, see them as simple bookmarks. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Or maybe “how would the three flat states help us align deeper to our true and whole expression in this time and space we call life? ”

Or maybe “Infinity is our beingness. I am ready to experience a more expansive state. Bring it on~ oh yeah~”

To my personal understanding, if we really love to measure, then it is not the flatline measure that matters, it is how much degree of alignment we have with our whole soul expression.

Are you currently in low, middle, or high alignment with our soul expression?

Well, even low alignment is part of a valid experience as well…and deserves to be held by the vast consciousness.

The point is not to judge, just hold the space for the state we are currently in.

And make a conscious choice with this clarity.

What would your vast and expansive sub/consciousness say?
