<p> | ||
Goals of individuals come from desire to continue on a path of their lineage. <br/> | ||
Picture this: I can only speak with me from few seconds and I can reach to me from years ago. | ||
But it is not me of course, for I am here and not there. | ||
It is not me because I need to interpret what they say when I converse with them. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
But I accept that I participate in their goals, that I follow up with their aspirations, that I take them as mine. | ||
The further back I go, the less we share, the more difficult it is to decode them. | ||
In fact, it doesn't seem like there's anything I share with them, not more than I do share with people who wrote the books I read or people I exchange thoughts with. | ||
In some sense, me from the past and my ancestors are closer to each other than I am to them. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
So ultimately there is no me... not more than a follower, an agent that accepted set of beliefs and objectives that were defined before I was born, for I have been born... just now. | ||
And there is are no families, not more than in a formal sense. We share more with the culture we are growing in than with specific set of beliefs of our families, move aside radical examples. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
So lineage really is the collective superposition of the threads we picked up on, that influenced our sense making. | ||
Some of the threads manifested through our looks and body, genetic predispositions, character, behaviorisation. Other threads randomly catching on us, while we take a move here and there in our journey. In all those, we take a role of attentive actor who tries to connect all the puzzles in coherent story, always measuring present against the past. Present "me" conversing with all the other versions of ourselves - those who shared "my" body and those who didn't. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
The most fascinating thing is that just as we reference the past, we also do project towards the future. | ||
Most of the time unconsciously, as it is difficult to conceptualize it.<br/> | ||
One way to approach it is to look at your present experience as if it was the past. Imagine you're watching a high-resolution video of people living 1000 years ago in 2024. What do you see? Most likely your mind will start to focus on high-order abstractions of the state of the world. You will also experience as your attachment to the culture you live in starts to dissipate. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
What follows is that your perception of things shifts - you become more attuned to the projection of time, more sensitive to the threads that do not come on you by chance, you learn to perceive them. | ||
It is very powerful excercise, for it helps you to see beyond local events and to envision the consequences of the whole of our activities - of humanity, of the world. It helps you to conceptualize it not only in space, but also in time. You can realize the power you hold as an agent. | ||
