More on #differentiation

most conceive of this as a self-other experience (it is)

executing this “skill” with another, requires use of this “skill” within oneself

👇🏼

experientially, phenomenologically

“raw” experience is enactive, impulsive

… or soupy, slow, simmering
… or thick, fuzzy, numb, diffuse

and millions of other variations

/2

Within oneself to “differentiate” experience here means to literally feel HOW this experience unfolds in micro-time

this is #discernment too

… to feel
… to experience
… to move
… in real time
… enacting & discerning
… electric & slow
… and the universe between

/3

So experiencing these textures at a body level means to feel, know, experience the nuances of

- bone
- sinew
- skin
- muscle
- nerve
- liquid
- electricity

as a FELT experience with #discernment and #differentiation in the unfolding experience

/4

But not with “a mind” and that’s the critical difference most fail to properly “understand”

b/c “mind” to most means “conscious deciding”

and that’s not what’s happening here

This is “conscious participating” or (with practice) “conscious influencing”

/5

I personally prefer “conscious play” as a lens that seems to create learning and wonder

- a frame with self
- a joyful discovery
- a pleasure in the unknown

Let’s affirm: this thinking process is also fantastic and wonderful, part of the play

It is NOT running the show
