Your thoughts are patterns that have many labels and grades associated. When you see a person you not only think "Steve", you connect all of the metadata you have associated to that recognized pattern, like "brother", "47", "relevant person", etc
I can also feel things in my body that can't be described. Like our "gut" feelings. Without any words, we communicate a lot. With out any previous interactions, or stored meta data, I will decide how I feel about them. Much more than their name And age, etc.
reply
It all becomes clear metadata the moment you turn the gut feeling into a concrete action/decision. If the feeling do not leads to a decision, you just feel "weird", which simply means you are not being able to detect any pattern, which can make you feel uneasy, yet undefined. Now, if your gut feeling makes you take a decision like dropping out from a situation, the word is full clear "something is wrong, I have to bail out -> concrete action -> abort and leave".

I enjoy flow state which doesn't work that way.
reply
How so? Actions are concrete, you can not "half go", you can not "half accept". At some point, granular as you wish, you do or don't do something.
reply
I definitely have half gone and half accepted. Trying with intent to fail.
reply
But again, at granular level, it implies that at some point you did or did not something. The larger picture can be grey, but the pixels are either black or white.

That is the illusion of duality.
reply
How so?
That what you are touching on is the illusion. Have you ever drawn the circle of life?
reply
I don't know what that is
Things we do while flowing are different than things we just do. This is how we leave this time space.

As someone who lost a lot of their memory in a moment, I think there is more to it than that. Our whole body stores information. Not just the brain.

I'm not denying that! It's actually a well established fact

Nice.
