if we are present in our world and truly feel what is in as and around us, we know what to do and how to transform and change ourselves
We can connect to a deeper form of embodied and manifested knowledge. We can connect to our feelings and the pain. When we feel all of this and stay present, we connect to a deep knowledge that guides our work. This is a sort of feedback from the whole system to a partial organ (a person). It relates to the effect that when we truly listen to feedback and establish feedback loops, our work flows 🔮 EFFORT-BROKEN-FEEDBACK (Brander 2023).
From 🔮 MESH-EJ-THESIS:
“through connecting with & observing the world inside us & around us we may become aware of the interconnected, impermanent nature of reality • the realization that we all die & are part of the same inexplicable something may bring about compassion with others by feeling connected through love & suffering (Tolle 1999) • through this deep insight into the nature of reality, our understanding of who we are changes and allows us to operate from a new place (Tubali 2019)” (Santen 2023)
educational practices based on contemplation and accessing embodied knowledge
Zastavker & Venkatesh (2022) explore how to allow engineering students to act from a deeper place of knowledge through midfulness practices.
Indigenous traditions emphasize how nature can be a teacher. And again, forms and movements around us become embodied knowledge of how to exist and be in this world. ____ SOURCES
