Sound… and the experience of sound… are so important.
I know how keen the importance of sound experiencing is, and still I struggle with the necessity of low-text content. I struggle with the realization, each time, that it's the next most important focus.
In times of more difficult injuries and contextual societal challenges, I remember how hard it was for me to participate in others' media without strong, consistent text cues to go with audio. And I know how hard that still is for me most of the time.
I know that without being able to include more text, it's often harder for me to find my own work, even to remember it, and catalogue it for reference.
I don't want to lose it. I want to maximize all our leverage from it — mine and yours and everyone's.
I want to remember fully consciously.
I want to retain all the details.
I want to be able to review quickly and easily.
And man, I don't want to feel like I need the help of an AI to do that, even if I do have a ballpark machine transcript. Yuck.
Where that leads me, though… is great. An important realization.
I want my human functions. And I want to strengthen those functions with other humans.
Deep listening is a multi-faceted, full-body skill.
This is not only about the conscious mind, but profoundly about all levels of consciousness and unconsciousness. And it's best developed in groups who desire meaningful attunement with one another.
Considering the many ways ambient low-text and text-free audio are misused in the world around us, sound (soundful!) trust-building practices are particularly important.
It's also really important, right now, for us to share our content at our greatest possible frequency and capacity; even when my physical functions — most of all, my text-related functions — are so much more limited.
To cling to the desired perfectionism of always-on capacities is a tricky trap of the world we're in now.
Make the text just that way! Be consistent! Don’t dawdle! Don’t be distracted!
Do it better! Don’t be different! No one will love you if you mess this up!
Don’t drop the ball! No mistakes!
Don’t be a failure!
The assumptions and expectations of the contrived and colonizing conquerer-mindset merit-scape… the harmful artificial urgencies and force-normalized social enslavement modalities that have gotten us to the spot we’re in… they are all quite sticky.
Thank goodness there are natural solutions for sticky situations.
Something graceful and clearing happens as that landscape is exposed to more clean natural air and sunlight… more green-growing respiratory ambiance… the ions coming off the undulating ocean… the breath of presence in us, rolling gently forward.
All us living beings, committing ourselves to being living beings together.
Natural rhythms, natural inclinations, and emergent — embodied — solutions. The body saying what it needs… and the body giving itself what it needs.
The sounds of thriving.
The sounds of knowing what we know and doing what we do.
Wonderful, wonderful, what we discover when we let the landscape shift; embrace its creative capacitation; and ourselves, blossom a-new.
I know we've been through this sort of thing before… when times were much worse. When my state of function was much, much worse.
I know how moving and alive the connections are now. How much more powerful than ever these resources are.
I know that when I free myself to the audio focus and to produce low-text content… it ends up giving me back some (and eventually, more) of my text functions in unexpected ways.
But so much better than that… for those of us who attune most closely with it…
…it brings us into a beautiful congruence with one another.
As a favor to me — would you join us in this?
Because there’s just nothing like it.
We're going to talk more about sound… deep listening… and Intuitive listening, soon.
There won't be much text with most of it. It's going to be an awesome groove.
Stay (at)tuned.
