Imagining the vertical dimension in cultures, organisations and individuals.

fiat is about to break. prepare accordingly

@pmarca Yes, where introspection is taken to limit and equated to thought.

What about introception?

I used to think that Bitcoin was one of the tools that would empower humanity with self-sovereignty and also allow for a fair balance of power and a version 2.0 of democracy.
Whilst I haven’t lost hope yet, it is clear that the overlords in this realm have more power and foresight and a more coherent strategy than any decentralised movement to date. And it’s all too easy for them to rewrite the rules to accommodate Bitcoin rather than try to destroy it. It’s that accommodation that is the greatest risk in my opinion. As a backup plan, in the event that Bitcoin cannot be that tool for salvation, the alternative at this point really is ensuring self-transcendence of this realm is anothet available option.

I've been reflecting on 'the ego' and I am particularly drawn by two distinct aspects of this that probably hold me back, and perhaps others might recognise also.

Fear of Change - "I cling to what I have already"

• Someone's opinion of me might change;
• Someone might think that what I've said is wrong;
• Someone might challenge what I'm saying;
• Someone might dislike what I'm saying;
• It might impact my career if I do this thing;
• I might become a lesser person as a result of doing this thing.

Desire to be More - "I want more than what I have now"

• I should be seen for my perfection;
• I should be recognised;
• I should be valued;
• My opinion must be heard;
• Given who I am, I should have more;
• Others have more than me;
• Where is the justice.

I recorded a video to talk through these themes and covers some of the egoic challenges that pervade some of what we do and some of what we don't do.

How does 'the ego' play out in the act of recording a video? Do I do it for likes? Or perhaps you never post it for fear? Ideally you do it because it has the potential to serve others.

The goal is to see if we can do a few more things without worrying about how it might change us, without worrying what other people might think, without a care in the world

Acting not from a place of fear, and not from a place of desire, but from a place of being.

@elonmusk @grok was the footage in this Tommy Robinson clip in fact from a completely unrelated march, the ‘People’s March’ in 2019?

[Jamie Thomas @Jamie1Thomas]

@TheBTCTherapist @seth_fin @grok make sense of this

@trendingbitcoin @grok please summarise

This post is 100% generated by human.

Most people can spot an AI generated email or post a mile off. These posts are, almost all, functionally excellent, but is there a 'quality' they miss that transcends the machine? Perhaps something that only intuition can spot?

Nothing beats an AI at generating voluminous content to maintain and sustain brand awareness but, as a reader, it often feels disingenuous, or lacking novelty and intrigue.

@veilofreality suggests an etheric quality to pure, authentic human writing, he calls it "soul-infused creative writing".

Like works of art, there is a quality in a good piece of writing that transcends logic. You just 'know' that you love it. Look for a reason to justify the feeling, and it is lost.

A beautiful view; the wonder of nature; an emotive piece of music; these moments are not intellectual but bodily, ephemeral, uncapturable, indescribable, magical, and uncodifiable...

There is a quality to these 'soul-infused' moments, each one full with a spectrum of feelings that go beyond intellect. Safety, peace, emotion, drive, intrigue, liveliness, desire, connection, beauty and love. Not to be held, owned, disaggregated and repeated, but magical, transient and available only in the immediacy of the present moment.

'Soul-infused writing' has to be pure and true to the author, it must strike the lively space between vulnerability and novelty.

Vulnerability opens the possibility of fear of judgement, controversy, or disagreement.

Novelty gives truth, uniqueness, love. It may never have emerged before, simply flowing through the writer.

There is an energy transmission in any writing and, if we are open to it, we have a wisdom that defies logic and current science, an etheric antenna that is hyper-tuned to see through and 'know' everything.

Soul-infused creation is becomes more important than ever, and if we are a connected, embodied and well integrated human, we will always know it when we see it.

Links to further esoteric readings on this in the comments below... :)

Oh and I particular like the idea that Dali, almost 100 years ahead of his time was perhaps, in a soul-infused way, 'seeing' this in his painting "The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory"

@TheProjectUnity Great question

[Jamie Thomas @Jamie1Thomas]

@0ccultbot Social conditioning is a spectrum but a break is binary?

Then to know if you are a sage, psychotic or genius…

@elonmusk Lisan El-Gaib.

@Lucelex @DWMEYER1968 @RiotPlatforms Same applies for MSTR, no? Like saying, hey we suck at Business Intelligence so instead we’re going to buy bitcoin instead of focusing on core business.

Seems like a reasonable diversification for a company so closely linked to the space.

[Jamie Thomas @Jamie1Thomas]

@_kprkr @MrNick_Buzz @T_Zahil This is a great idea :)

[Jamie Thomas @Jamie1Thomas]

@pmarca Be full but only use when required. (Like a fire engine.)

[Jamie Thomas @Jamie1Thomas]

Your purpose
Is to be truth
That truth is your heart
You know it because it's the only thing
And no one else matters
Because everyone else is you
