Part of my journaling series:

How interesting, this "present" time flies.

Always waiting, peering into the future. Circling of doubts en habit the brain. What if's ? How's? Why's?

How peculiar this current thought that inhabits this particular landscape. I find myself in. Now.

Nostalgia but an escape to the exact moment in the past, where a thought was made. Perhaps a realization. Perhaps a crescendo of profound clarity. It is the lightbulb of the brain that manifests all possible futures in one's wake. Within one's grasp.

How transformative this idea, one that resides within the cusps of the present and all possibilities simultaneously.

Can you feel the moment? Its meaning? It's true implication? One can look out into the sea, feel the wind on one's face, experience all there is to.......... feel.

In the moment. Goosebumps. Heightened awareness. All expiriences that make you feel alive.

Truth resides here.

Capture it, harness it, cultivate it.

I have a blog that I've been cooking up sometime that maybe my other INTP 5w4 philosophy enthusiasts might enjoy. Here's a little taste... the link to my online blog is on my profile.

---------------------

There's a kind of knowing that shows up before you can explain it. A read on a room, a hesitation before a decision you couldn't justify yet, a feeling about something or someone that turns out to be right.

Take a deck of 52 cards, where there's roughly a 2% chance of guessing the suit and rank correctly on the first try. It's the game where you try to read the next card before it's turned over. This isn't guessing, exactly. It's noticing that you already know the answer before your head catches up and calls it.

You only get better at this game the more you let your subconscious deal first and your conscious mind comment after, instead of insisting on the other order.

Only a few are able to keep striking that same 2% probability, but the ones who can certainly carry a different edge, a different understanding of what presence actually requires. That meaning, in itself, is the inflection.

I used to think this was just luck, or maybe nothing at all, just my mind making patterns out of noise. I don't think that anymore. I think it's closer to a signal that arrives before the language does. The Eureka moment of landing on the correct answer isn't a door you walk through once. It's more like a frequency you slowly get better at hearing, the less you interrupt it. The subconscious is one that often needs flexing, but the physical plane needs to be in sync with it as well.

I would explain this as being an archer, hitting the arrow on the bullseye. While your eye and body may be in sync, the only real way to know is to trust your subconscious to have it land correctly, in the right spot. It implies belief in yourself and your insights.

We can use this same analogy as a gateway into the dreams in life we have, the ideas we discover. It is the ultimate intuition and force that relies on a correct result, and we could use the same framework for many things I'll discuss here in this blog.

One feels powerful and satisfied after completing this grandiose insight. It is the shot that lands the bullseye.

It is not knowing the future, rather understanding the present so completely that what comes next is already part of it.

"Sacred sound is the bow. The self is the arrow. Ultimate reality is the target. It must be struck with a focused, undistracted mind. Then, just as the arrow merges into what it strikes, the self merges into ultimate reality."
