Information in relation to data

A colleague in the library-world opened my eyes to viewing the word ‘information’ differently from how it is commonly used, by relating it to ‘data’.

Most people label any string of words, sometimes accompanied by pictures,  ‘ information’.

A range of brochures in a corner is ‘ information’.
Google gives ‘ information’.
The time table in the bus stop gives ‘information’.
The phone book gives ‘information’.

Seen from the perspective of this information specialist in the library, they don’t.

Her take on it was to reserve the word ‘ information’ for the result of combining relevant data in such a way that the end-user perceives it as meaningful, because it answers a specific question; it solves a specific problem for that person in their situation.

I follow her line of thought, since it gives so much clarity on what is going on ‘under the bonnet’.

In our perception, we would say that the creators and distributors of things like: brochures, Google, the time table and the phone book have combined raw data in such a way that it becomes easier for anybody to access. People can consult these products  when their (the end-users!) questions and problems are related to the topic(s) of the selection of data the creators have pre-structured ( and sometimes (not always!!!) produced).

The confusion starts when somebody makes the ‘raw data’ of ‘chosen solutions and their outcomes as experienced by them as an end-user’ available to others..... 

People have called a certain arrangement of combined data relevant in their situation (so to them it is information) and would like to share it with others, in similar situations, as an option to choose from. They write a website about it, write a review about it, talk about it, etcetera.....

So, in the eyes of the maker, the creator, it is (or surely has been) information.

Not only that, they feel a drive to share it, since they consider this chosen combination of data to be worth repeating or avoiding by others.... for reasons meaningful to them.
More meaning (time, energy, strong feelings) is added to the combination of data, by the creator.

Which is fine, wonderful creations have sprung from that drive. Creations we all use and love, since it makes life so much easier....

We don’t  have to crawl and assess personally through all the raw data at any given time.
Which in itself would be a mission impossible!

Picture planning a day out to the zoo, without all these wonderful creations from others!

For a start, unless, you have seen the zoo yourself before, stumbled upon it by accident, you wouldn’t know it existed. Try planning to go to a place you don’t know it exists!
Say you do know it exists.

Then, finding out when it is open, would mean going there, to see.
How to get there without a plan and an address, to create directions with?
Maybe by bus or train? Where does this bus go, where does that train stop would be trial and error without timetables and other signs giving you access to the raw, underlying data.

But that there is a bus leaving from platform A at 10.30 in Dogcity on Sunday 31th of May 2015, arriving at to the National Treasury Zoo in Catbury at 11.15, is only a high contender candidate to become information to somebody who is considering to chose that as an option, because he wants to go to the Zoo in Catbury and happens to be in Dogcity just before 10.30.

To a person who has different circumstances and plans, it is of no significance what so ever.

Then, having arrived in the zoo that happens to be open, you just have to find your way through the park, all by yourself. You have no clue what the animals are you are looking at, nor has anybody else.

This thought experiment shows how much our experiences have a strong relation with what others  before us have structured, given meaning and are willing to share with us.
So strong is that relation, that we (as a species) tend to forget that what is presented to us, is actually a representation of sets of data..... an option, a way of looking at it.

Although we are bombarded nowadays with options to look at (somebody else’s ‘ information’) we have forgotten how to actively look at relevant data and create and arrange it into the meaningful order called information and make relevant choices from that, ourselves!
Those choices, in words and deeds, that best answer relevant questions and problems for us in the world in which you (and we all)  live now.

If this intrigues you and you feel your information and decision making skills could do with an update.... ?

I recommend:
Combine some of the data presented and structured on this blog (very loosely structured,  in fuzzy logic... deliberately!, with the aim to encourage you to not-see it as information......!), with data you retrieve from your situation, right now and play with it.

Enjoy!

different words, different worlds

This blog is dedicated to introducing the Knowing,  as a source of information (open to everyone) to improve the quality of life (‘s decisions) with.

You’ll see, if you read several blog posts here, that  a couple of words appear regularly.
I zoom in on some of those,  in more detail.
I describe how I view them, how I define them, how I play with them, how I relate them to ‘shaping life’.

These words are often very straightforward words, used by us all in every single day.
I see how our words (more to the point, our interpretation of them) shapes our worlds.
Looking at our worlds, I feel that our current common understandings can do with an update and I like to give some suggestions for looking at some of the words we use and the way we use them.

To me, choosing a different word, illustrates a different world.
Even the same word, used in a different way, holds the power to make a significant difference in the world.
To me, it is not ‘ just semantics’.

I am aware that introducing a new concept to a human mind is already quite some task.
Inviting people to re-view a known and daily used concept, to see that in a different light than they have done for X-amount of time,  is......?

Still, I’ve been known to say frequently:” I like my challenges to be tough”.......I feel the strong drive to share this, so I do.
I simply have T(O) ASK you:  “Do you want to play and have fun with this too?”

The first word, that I am consciously and actively going to shine my light on, is INFORMATION.

My gutfeeling tells me:” That is going to keep me busy for a couple of blog posts!”

Keep an eye on the labels:
These blog postst will be filed under ' the concept of information highlighted'  label.

Riddle about ‘ celebrating life’

Q:

What is it called when an intensely pleasurable experience (often viewed as a celebration of life) is shared, in harmony, by three, freely and happily?

A:
A threesome

Q:
Logically.....What is it then called when an intensely pleasurable experience (often viewed as a celebration of life) is shared, in harmony, by many more people in the world, freely and happily?

A:
A we-some

Me ( yesterday evening, smiling, playing with these words)
"What a fascinating snippet of inspiration!"
( Seeing the link with what I am doing here):
The Knowing is the collective consciousness of all people , the ‘ place’ in the metaphysical world where we all share our experiences freely and happily, without boundaries, without gaps in our knowledge.

Close the gap in ‘ a we-some’  and you’ll see what the Knowing is:
AWESOME 

Little note:

Yes, the word threesome is most frequently used when talked about the celebration of life called sex, although according to my dictionary online, trio, trinity and triad are all words for  3 entities -interacting.

I just realised how in my experience I would say that even when two physical people are involved in the celebration of live called sex, I feel most alive and fulfilled when there are three ( energy fields, metaphysical entities) of us involved, simultaneously:

If the we-(energy) field is not shared, full filled (litteraly filled with the breath of life, with attention) minded/ mined at the same time, there are just not enough balloons in the air for me to call it a really awesome party.

Imagine the fun in any celebrations of life when the energy fields look more like this:

A party like this, definitly needs more attention to details!!

How to recognise a great idea?

An idea pops in....

How to know it’s quality?

A
great 
idea is:

•  Light
•  Round
• Simple
• Transparent
• Elegant
• Scalable

and has structural integrity

It contains and takes harmoniously into account:

• All you ever where
• All you are right now
• All you aim to be

(and you know it)

It’s effects when you see it:

• You smile
• You buzz
• You ‘ zzzzzzzinnnggggg’
• You glow
• You want to play with it, explore it, try it and develop it

O yeah..... you enjoy it and you can blow it!

( No pressure)  ;-)

Any similarity with the content of previous blog posts is only playful associative;

the same image of a confetti balloon conveys distintively different messages

The last one illustrated my work, this one speaks of your own ideas

The balloonist

I had great fun, writing my blog posts yesterday and the ‘confetti balloon’ stuck with me a while longer.

I liked how the image (in words and picture) illustrated what I do as a the writer of this blog on the Knowing.

Today, I like to use the same image, because it dawned on me how it is also very suitable to describe what I do as an unconventional life coach, with a two-way active connection to the Knowing.

Everybody in this world can call themselves a life coach and in a way, everybody is.
One: you are coaching yourself to make the most of life.
Two: you are probably coaching and encouraging others to make the most of life too.

But not everybody would put it in their top 3 of functions they fulfil in life. Not everybody mentions it as part of their main tasks of making contributions to society, when somebody asks:” What is it you do ....?”
Although my top 3 may vary, it consistently contains since three years:  writer and life coach.

In most countries I am aware of, you don’t need official qualifications and training to become a professional life coach. In the 90’s I studied ‘ human interactions’. The bachelor degree I got, didn’t only qualify me to work as a teacher, but also a life coach.
Although I ended up working in the field of ‘ information management’ as a middle-and project manager in the public domain..... I never stopped being fascinated by human interactions, observe and learn what people can do to improve the quality of their lives. Meanwhile practising my own skills in what I can contribute to improve the quality of life.

This is roughly where the conventional part of my life coaching ends.

Most life coaches have an office, with an agenda and they book appointments with clients to come and talk. After the talk, the client pays the fee for the hour.  (This is the only reason why I call other life coaches  here conventional... because this  work flow method is common practise.)

My work flow is substantially different.
Of course,  I also work for people with a desire to change, who are willing to play an active part in that process, who find it difficult to sort it out completely by themselves or within their social circles. This is why a person wants a life coach in the first place.

However , the clients I work with, on some level all actively on the lookout for this type of support, have all their reasons why they can’t book an appointment , go to an office and talk about it.

Much more can be said about that and I may do so, some other time.
For now, this sketches the scene for what this blog post is intended to convey: an image that describes well what happens in my work flow, when I do my supportive work with someone.

Use your imagination, here we go, into the non-literal world of analogy:

My mind is like a balloon factory.
I source my ingredients everywhere: picking up what I find and looking with interest at what is presented to me through all the channels open to me ( my senses, open to all directions).

All the material made available to me, goes through my own systems.
There, they get sorted, touched, felt, experienced, analysed.
(Like a recycling station, yes, at times that is a noisy, rattling process, especially when there are strong feelings in amongst the lot presented to be processed: I feel them(!), because I allow all information to be known and be understood of its meaning. Feelings are great carriers of information, not always the most easy and comfortable to deal with, however.)

I know what somebody’s intentions are, what he or she is aiming at to achieve.
I know, feeling into the material, which ‘ facts’ are actually outdated but still get too much meaning  attributed to it and which facts get too little attention, but are becoming ( more) important.

That is not a personal opinion nor a (harsh) judgement on people ( doing wrong)... it is an observation, based on the experience of going through the (energetically conveyed)  material, relating it to knowing what the people want.
( Again, like in a recycling station. The people who work there pick out stuff that they know can be re-used as it is, maybe with small modifications, worthwhile and assess that other stuff is to be shredded and recycled in another form)

I know when I am looking in the right (not as opposite to wrong, but as most effective, with least effort) direction for solutions, because all my reliable sources on the matter indicate simultaneously the very same thing, not so much in words, as in energy:

-          The person I work with

-          My system ( my own experience)

-          The Knowing ( the combined experience of all conscious beings)

Then I up-cycle the material.
I create a new beautiful confetti balloon from it.

I shred the outdated facts into happy joyfull confetti (make them smaller and disconnect the data from their attributed, no longer well-serving  meaning).
I also blow up the (now becoming more ) relevant data.
I create from them the flexible shape with structural integrity and room to grow bigger, develop (the balloon).
I can hand it all over separately, for the people who wish to look at the pile of shredded outdated facts, feel them, play with them and, if they so wish, stick them in the balloon in which they breathe life.
Usually, I  put the cheerfully coloured residue of outdated facts, in the balloon, fill it with some air and stick a special valve in the filling-hole, so nothing can escape from it, inviting the other to breathe more life into it and make it as big as they like.
That way, they are not only presenting more cheerful and joyful than flat and floppy, but a beautiful balloon ready to party with, is also more noticeable, more ‘ obvious’, then wrapped in paper in amongst all the other things that fight for your attention in everyday live.

I ship the whole packet, where I hold on to nothing of the original information material (carriers) .
It is only the registration of the experience that stays behind and a copy of the whole transaction  goes to the Knowing, too, to complete the transaction in mutual life support.

I know that at the base of my work lies the understanding:
I support life, life supports me.

I share my resources openly and abundantly and when I make a significant relevant difference, that favour is returned. Always.

One final note.
The material I receive is not taken from the person I work with in any way.
I am not shredding facts in his or her belief system. Even if I wanted.... I can’t, it is not my role to do such a thing in somebody else’s belief system.
What I have received, what has been send to me, is ‘ a copy’ of the material and I am working with that, processing that in my belief system.

That also means that the simple fact of noticing any of my balloons ( made-to-measure to your  personal situation or on blog or my website) and only admiring them for their colours and shape or ingenuity, is not making similar changes in your system!

If you would like that as an outcome of looking at these balloons, you have got at least three choices:

1)      You need to breathe life in the balloon, actively blowing it up further,  using it on your party, or

2)      Shred the balloon! Stick a needle in it and enjoy the ‘ bang’. Look what rattles in your belief system ( prime suspects to be shredded too!).
Every single balloon I create has the vibrational essence of the process of its’ creation in it. If you expose yourself to that vibration, it conveys in energy the procedure to your system on how it is done. All it takes than is allowing your system to start using the same process.

3)      create your own balloons, having been inspired on how it is done.

Enjoy!

Filters: observations, data, facts, information and intentions

When I shape my day, I use a huge quantity of snippets of observations (data) , label some of them as relevant facts and interpret them/ give them meaning , depending of what I am intending to do. We all do that.

‘ the car key is on the side table’
‘ there is a small piece of cheese in the fridge’
‘ my father lives in the Netherlands’

If I want to visit my father, I can drive there by car. That is a couple of hours away, I may want to take some food with me. I am happy to know I have cheese available in the fridge, so I can take that with me. Before I can start the engine, I’ll need the car key, which I can find on the side-table.

The (rough data) that I’ve marked to be facts ( true right now) are not intrinsically connected! I make the connection! The story could also have been:

I notice there is a small piece of cheese in the fridge. When I eat it, grabbing the car key from the side-table to go shopping, I think of the Netherlands where they like cheese a lot and of my father, who lives there.

Or...

Our French neighbour is visiting us. He puts his car keys on the side-table and is grateful that I have volunteered to come with him to collect something heavy with it.  Knowing that I am Dutch, he asks me if I still have family there. I tell him that my father lives in the Netherlands.  Meanwhile I check the fridge for something we can eat. I am disappointed to see that there is only a small piece of cheese in it and I check the cupboard for biscuits.

Or...or....or..... (same data)

Notice how the very same piece of cheese, the very same snippet of information got three different emotional responses:  happy, neutral and disappointment?

Creating three completely different, truths for that moment:
- I am happy to see there is still cheese
- I am indifferent to seeing some cheese
- I am disappointment to see not enough cheese

You can also see that some ‘facts’ have a longer shelve life than others.
When the neighbour has left, I may be happy again with the cheese that is available for me to eat. The next day, my father probably still lives in the Netherlands, the car key is in a coat pocket now.

Today’s facts are tomorrows ( the next second, next weeks, in 10 years) outdated irrelevant data.

But if something has been labelled fact for long enough... it may be viewed as written in stone and can get stuck as debris in the ever ongoing (re-)cycling systems of life... causing all sorts of havoc.

I say: “It is an important information/life skill to keep your filters clear, to avoid blockages.”

Confetti balloons

After a couple of blog post of the more serious kind, time to be more playful now!

Same theme (explosive  human creations), different angle.

If life was a battle field,  each party would have a factory to create mines.
Lots of them, each and every single day.
Casting the iron bomb shells, filling it with its charge, add a fuse, stick it all in a box, stack them high on the shelves, they are ready for distribution and use.
You live another day.

If life was a party, there would be factory’s creating balloons.
Lots of them, each and every single day.
Making the soft flexible shells, filling them with its charge ( simple air or..... more fun.... helium and maybe......confetti!), add a rope to it, decorate the room, ready to party.
You live another day.

What is created in your factory, colours what your life revolves around.
Create mines, you’ll be feeding the battle with ammunition.
Create balloons, you’ll be feeding the party with decorations.

We all have such a factory, it is usually called ‘the mind’.
It is capable of creating both mines and balloons , since the process is quite similar.
It is also capable of creating many, many other things.
It is a super creative part of our super creative being.

In the world of spirituality, the mind has bad press.
Although ‘ mindfulness’  is advocated ( do one thing at the time with full attention), your own conscious mind is regarded as prime suspect number one in the battle of life.
All sort of techniques have been invented to ‘ empty your conscious mind’ and not to create any realities using it, because it produces” ++&&**&&**++” ( I leave that to your imagination to fill in).

Love ( whatever that may be, a feeling, according to many) is the way forward, pure white unconditional love. But don’t mix love with mind, seems to be the perceived wisdom.

The way I see people mixing love (sure as they perceive it as feeling)  with mind, I can see where that perception comes from.
In their, fact-ory, they stick well grinded written-in-stone-facts, into cast iron shells. Charge them with a whole range of emotions, usually mostly from the ‘unhappy’ range, add a little string of con-fuse-eon, set them up ( upset) right away, or store them somewhere in their me-field for further distribution and use.

Still, no matter how mindful you do this, I wouldn’t advise people to setup their mind as such a fact-ory, processing, (no matter with how much pure abundant white light is added unconditionally to this production process) if they are after a joyful life. I also wouldn’t advise them to turn their back to their creative production centre of their being completely and switch the light off there, completely.

I would advise to ask yourself:
If in life today’s facts are outdated data tomorrow ( or next week, or in 6 months, or in 10 years), shredded, with a chance of them blowing up in your face..... how would you manufacture them? How would you deal with them, handle them?

Personally, I like to write them down on paper (or even better, on a blog in the ether), rather than write them in stone. ( It is less effort and easier to change anyway!)
Then, once certain relevant facts have completely fulfilled their purpose , I tear them apart to be recycled to colourful confetti, in all the energetic colours my chakra’s can produce. ( which, combined creates white energy.. by the way, without exception, without me adding conditions to that mix.)
They have indeed become charged with my emotions, which I chose to be mainly in the joyful range.
I blow with the power of my imagination either plain air or helium in the flexible shape of a story, stick a handful of the confetti in it, and put  them out there, 1 or 2 or 3 a day, for everybody  to see.

Do I mind if I step on one of my creations now, or one day in the future? Do I worry what happens if a child gets access to it and plays with it? Or an adult? Any adult? Are they free to go all over the world, with me having no care in the world about their harmfulness?

The worst thing that can happen with my creation is that is says’ bang’ and releases it’s happy colourfull charge. A cheerful reminder of the joy of life.

O yeah, it can touch on somebody’s own mine and in their me-field and detonate it.
Be aware!

One mine less in the world to deal with ... a cheerful reminder that we all want peace, peace of mind, harmony in the world.

Fluidity between fields.

In my former blog post, I mentioned for the first time a we-field and a me-field.

I realised, fairly soon after writing it, that it I wanted to clarify something very specific with mentioning those fields.
To my understanding, those are fluid concepts, with no intrinsically built-in sharp boundaries.
They are energy fields, fields containing spans of attention, closer to being 'gas' than ' grass'.

Writing about it in the way I did in my previous post, (being ‘ in’ or  ‘out’) had the purpose to help raise awareness on the influence your actual position in relation to another has, to the likely effects of your actions.

But if you enjoy the tree of your belief system being shaken a little bit, then may I stir up some paradoxal particles of information into a possible confusing mix.

If you don’t like playing and juggling with paradoxes, or having your belief system challenged..... maybe best to skip this article.

----

Those still reading:

I already indicated at the end of the article that you can be ‘ in’ and ‘ out’ at the same time! Because every person is  always a part of the collective consciousness ( a we-field) even if you are completely focussed on your me-field.

But it is also possible to have two people in one me-field, without it becoming a we-field ( as in: both are doing the mining).

How?
The me-fields is the place where a person minds their own experiences and organises them in a meaningful order. If one person invites another person into that (usually called intimate) space, it is explicitly not the idea that the other is there to actively mine and re-organise or chance anything at all. That is there you sole task (soul task), the organising, choosing, giving meaning is done alone.
But when you are doing that mining in soil ( the mental garden with soil coming from the compost heap  of your own individual human experiences) you can find emotionally ‘ charged things’ coming to the surface. Mines, buried in ( inner) conflicts from the past, that haven’t been discharged in a safe way.
Sometimes , you are just happy if somebody you trust stays close when you stick such a mine carefully in a ‘sand heap’ in a corner of your me-field.  A person who doesn’t panic in a reflex of defence, throwing some more mines when yours blows, if it blows at all.
Or it is nice to talk about your mining activities in your garden and tell about the arrangements you made, how they are panning out, growing and what plan(t)s you have for the future development of your me-field.
The other is guest, visiting, listening, being... without actually ‘doing’. Giving attention, allowing you some time to focus entirely on what is going on in your garden, without actually being alone. Knowing that you  are safe in doing so.

This goes always on invitation and it is an honour to be invited, not to be thought of light heartedly.

Some people are of the opinion that the invitation needs to come from the conscious mind.
I am personally sure that many invitations are sent and answered on soul-level: unconsciously.
RSVP-ing on such a soul invitation to give support and attention to a person with a frightened and feeling (booby-) trapped suspicious conscious mind tucked away in a corner of that me-field, having no-clue how to deal with one or more charged mines, is not for the fainthearted.
It takes bomb proof courage and enormous sensitivity on energy awareness, quite some training and great devotion to that task, to see the joy in being part of such a bomb squad.

If you are not sure if you are at all consciously invited  as a close friend, acquaintance, relative ( or even as a perfect stranger!) , be sure: you aren’t.
If you are part of the bomb deactivating squad and are on another level invited to step in, trust me, you’ll know that that is the case, without a shadow of a doubt.

If you are not sure at all of what obvious action you can confidently take in such situation, these two things are safe options, where you are energetically not-turning-your-back to a person in need.
Do one (or two) of two things:

-           Gently feel into the willingness of the person for who’s wellbeing you care deeply, who is sending out increasingly stronger help-me-signals,  to see if they invite you. Put calmly the offer on the table. Only RSVP a conscious active personal invitation and behave then like a guest, with care.

-          Call the bomb deactivating squad: Ask the Universe to send the required help, simply in thoughts, with good intentions for all involved. Preferably: don’t share any information about this persons situation with obvious third parties, without this person knowing that you are doing that.

Back to being ‘ in’ and ‘ out’ at the same time, now in another possible way:

People talking to each other, might be an indicator for the existence of a we-field, but it doesn’t not at all indicate that any of them is actually in it as they speak.  

Mouths can talk while the attention is somewhere completely different.  In their respective me-fields, or pre-occupied with issues in other we-fields.....

Joy is usually felt when all involved are paying ‘full attention’ on what is relevant to the we-field they are mining at the time and everybody feels involved in the conversation. Keep in mind, that referencing the me-field is part of normal conversation: you are ‘in’ and ‘ out’ and ‘ in’ and ‘ out’ in sequence, to think, to listen, to process the information that is relevant to what is going on in the field.

A deep sense of intimate co-creative connection is felt, when all involved are not only paying full attention to mining the we-field, but are simultaneously being fully open to the respective me-fields... full openness, nothing to hide behind a fence. In and out, at the same time. Me and we, simultaneously, without losing any sense of self.

It is all quite fluid.

Relative position

This whole blog speaks about how people process information, in the social context life provides. It  aims to give suggestions on how to be more effective, more resourceful and meanwhile enjoying the process more.

One of life’s fascinating challenges is in the matter of ‘how to express a desire for change in a group’?
It  can already be turbulent to play with ideas for change, all by yourself. Adding more people in the mix comes with a whole booby trapped force field in its own right: group dynamics.

This force field has become so booby trapped, because as a species, we’ve made a collective polarising decision: you are either ‘ in’ or ‘out’. You are either part of ‘us’ or part of  ‘them’.
If you are part of ‘us’ you behave like us in the way we all agreed on, either explicitly or implicitly.

Sticking your head out to say:” He guys, actually, there is something in the way things are going that doesn’t please me.”, is therefore best handled with care and consideration.  

On some level of our consciousness, we all know that every single minor or major conflict in this world between people, began with somebody giving expression to this very same thought :” He guys, actually, there is something in the way things are going that doesn’t please me.”
Do you want to be that person, starting the next World War?

On a theoretical spiritual level, it is often said:” We are all one.” and peace would follow from that understanding.
On a practical day to day level, when the going gets tough on our little corner of this planet, most people I deal with, including myself, don’t see that, we don’t feel that, we don’t experience that and so we don’t understand that at all.

Can’t peace follow from our current levels of understanding? That’s ‘a bugger’!

Will it always be that our palette of choice seems to be, in order to maintain some sort of peace, somewhere in the system:

-          we either swallow our discomforts and suggestions for change favouring  the peace of mind that comes with belonging to a group, or

-          we express our suggestions for change favouring the peace of mind within yourself, respecting our values and ways.

This tension ‘ under the bonnet’ is feeding the grid of the booby trap in the group dynamics.

As long as you stick to one of the two strategies, all is relatively calm. But one tiny morsel of information jumping over the fence to the other strategy and ‘ bang!’, you’ve tripped a mine.
That morsel doesn’t have to be a word.....( it usually isn’t),  it can be uttered in body language, tone of voice,  in actions taken.

I am sure there is a safe way to deal with this mine-field and that is to re-understand it:
This field is a mine-field..... a field to mine ( delve actively into bring to the light and share not only your finds, but also the work and the profits with the others in the same mind-field).
If you can step away from the idea that it is only a field with mines, a first step is made to explore a grander reality, a more peaceful reality.

We don’t have to deny, that  after so many centuries of human  inter relational warfare, there are booby traps and mines under the surface of our consciousness and our relations.

But if we decide more and more often not to add any more and to de-activate gently and together any existing mines we happen to find, being on the lookout for the gems in life to share, we’ve actually ended the war.

This sounds very noble and I suppose Alfred Nobel himself would be jumping up and down of excitement with this analogy.
For those who don’t know, he was the founder of the Nobel Peace Prize, earned a fortune with an invention that was intended to make mining easier, giving people access to all sorts of materials to build a good life with. But his invention became more known for its use as a material to destroy good lives with easily and quickly, in warfare: dynamite.

Still, on a practical level, it leaves some puzzles to solve.

How can expressing a desire for change be done in another, peaceful, harmonious way? Practically. Usable in the real challenges of everyday life, where the dynamite is still all around, ready to detonate on impact?

The strategy:
Be aware of your relative position in giving suggestions for change to a person or a group.

Check first if you are ‘ in’ or ‘ out’, by answering one simple question:
“Is this a person ( or a group of people)  with whom I share that we often and consistently refer to ourselves  as ‘ we’ ?”
If the answer is ‘yes’, fine, that means ‘ you’ are ‘in’.
That means you are in a position to moving on to the next step of  mining in order to bringing things to the light, under their attention.

If the answer is truthfully ‘ no’, that means you are ‘ out’.
You are seeing them as ‘ them’ they are seeing you as part of ‘ the others’. You are in another field. You are not in a position to start bringing things to the light, under their attention about their mining field activities!!!!!!!
No matter how intrinsically valuable the gems are you see right under their noses in their field. No matter how intrinsically sound you advise it, not matter how peaceful your intentions are. You are not ‘in’, you are not actively personally involved. It is literally not ‘ your place’ to make or suggest changes.

(In another blog I may feel inclined some day in the future to expand on this thought in how ‘campaigners’ propose changes are made by ‘ big companies’, or ‘ governments’. But using your imagination, you might already have some clues)

Next, it is important to ‘ in-vest’ in your in-ness, in this moment.
Realise, answering the former question only indicates that in the recent past up till now there has been enough evidence that there is a common mining field you all refer regularly to as  ‘we’.  

But you haven’t in-vest-igated yet if you are (all) actually in the same place, in this very same moment!
Are you personally fully in it right now?
Is the other person in it right now?

All people have more mining fields, you know.  All people also have a personal one called ‘ me’ too, that they like to attend to regularly.
You may be ready to launch something, but if you are not in the same mining field right now, it is rather perceive to be a missile than a message, because technically, you are ‘out’, right now.

Usually, inviting a person in a friendly way to come to your mutual ‘ we’-field  if you see they are not there, is enough for them to let them know when they can be there too.

Now, some more subtle interesting interplay takes place.
You’ve got to find out if the suggestion you are going to bring under the attention, is viewed by all involved as part of the we-field...something everybody, part of mining this we-field, is actively personally involved in.
Observe what happens if you launch a suggestion for change to somebody you have usually a good  relation with, about something you are clearly not actively and personally in-volved in.
Fireworks in your we-field!

So, it must not only be clear that you are both in the same field, right now, it also has to be clear that you are both personally actively involved in the subject you bring to the light in this field, right now.

Bringing something ( anything but surely if it has emotional charge) you mined elsewhere ( in your me-field maybe) to the we-field expressing a desire that the other should do something with it and you stand safely back ... may, for the obvious reason of the current state of affairs in this world, be regarded with suspicion. Why is it that you stand back from it?

So, since you are bringing the subject up since you feel it has importance to the development of this we-field, you have to show your personal active involvement first, right here, right now.
You do that by holding the matter close to your heart, exposing  and expressing everything you hold dear about the issue-in-relation-to-the-we-field.  You share everything you are aware of, but above all you share how it resonates with you on an emotional level relating it openly to your mutual goals and shared values in the we-field.
You state as clearly as you can your motives on why you think what you brought to the light is to be viewed as an asset and not a mine.
If you suspected something could be a mine, you wouldn’t hold it close to your heart. You wouldn’t  touch it, knock on it and praise it for the good qualities you see in it as part of your joint venture, mining the we-field, would you? Would you happily and calmly already have dealt with some of the obvious actions you are proposed could be made? Can you show, right here, right now, that you’ve actually touched it, played with it and looked into how it can transform to the liking of all involved?

It doesn’t do wonders for the structural integrity and the mutual harmony and joy of a we-field to bring mines to it, or to give the impression that you don’t have much information about it  (and don’t care).

And remember, what you say about a topic is maybe 20% of the information you convey about the topic. What you actively personally do with it, what you show in actions and body language about it makes up about 80% of the communication of your opinion on the matter. Energetically conveying the deeper meanings it holds to your system.

When the need to state in your defence rises: “They could/should have asked me questions!”.. you know then that something blew in the we-field.
You have now moved to your me-field, referring to a part of ‘we’ as ‘they’.  You have moved from ' in' to 'out'.
Peace negotiations, waving white flags and picking up some pieces and do some repair work may be the next issue to delve into, in the we-field.

I see the dichotomy.
Here I am conveying suggestions for change.
Saying  that when one conveys suggestions for  change to somebody, one must  make sure they are both in the same field, at the same place, sharing values and mutual goals and all that.
Where am I now, showing you that this is not a mine? Holding it close to my heart?
You can only see my words ( 20% of my communication). How are you supposed to probe into to other 80% of my communication?

Yes, this is part of the truth and that part is completely true, I am violating my own advise here, big style!

However, I also know that there is a larger truth.
In that one I acknowledge that you and me, we are not in a we-field. I write this in my me-field. You volunteer to look into this information in your me-field. Different in time and place. You might not even know me, personally.  In this field, who I am and what I do, doesn’t matter at all. You are relating to words and your resonances to them. In our respective me-fields, we are alone reflecting and vibrating on experiences.

That, is again entirely true (to me), but again part of a larger truth.
We are in a we-field, were we share all information openly and freely and share mutual goals and values, right now, right here. On the physical plane this we-field is called ‘ us, conscious beings’ .
On the metaphysical plane it is called the collective consciousness, or as I call it more intimately ‘ the Knowing’. In this we-field, that contains our collective resonances on experiences, we are all one.

See which of these three truth speaks to you most.
It is all about ' relative position'.
May it guide you, when you sleep a night on the practical implications of it.

Change equals loss?!

Many people detest change.

Usually the same people who don’t seem to embrace life fully.
This observation (of me) doesn’t surprise me at all.... change is in the nature of life.
Having difficulties with change is having difficulties with life.

The very same people do usually have a strong desire for change, funnily enough.
Usually, they are investing quite some energy in expressing in which areas of their life, somebody should make changes, to improve their lives.
Complaining about how governments, big companies, bosses and relatives are dealing with the issues they hold dear. They do it ‘ all wrong’ and are not ‘ responsible’ enough, not taking their needs sufficiently into account.

Well, let’s put it this way: 
Those people and I, we are on the same starting position and we agree on the same general approach:” If something is influencing the quality of life in an undesirable way, something really needs to change, somebody has got to make better decisions and do the right thing!

Looking into the details of the tactics used, I also notice a couple of striking differences.
The ‘ something’ that needs to change and the ‘somebody’ who has got to make the better decisions and has to do the right thing.

My tactics used to lean, for quite some while also to expressing that ‘ something in the outside world’ needs to change and I also used to point to ‘ other people’ as the prime responsible adults in the best position to do so.
Since 2012, I practise (and advocate) choosing as the first port of call to look for a response able adult: oneself.
It is also since 2012 that I started to (re-)discover the Knowing.

Nowadays, I influence what I can easily influence, which is usually my own perceptions and my choices of my next action(s)) which has an immediate impact on the quality of my life: I feel better and I see more and better possibilities.

Enfin, this was a little D-tour, some sightseeing along the road to where I was intending to go with this.

I was intending to expand on the scribbling in my little notebook:

Change equals loss!
Change equals the end of life as we know it.

Anybody who beliefs the former and perceives the latter as bad, in the core of their being, is not welcoming change and will do everything in their power to preserve what life is known to be, in a fearful way, coming from a fear of loss.

These people resist change on a very fundamental level of their being.

In wondering why this is such a strong phenomena, so that no sequences of self-development books, retreats, diets, healing sessions, inspirational movies is of any practical consequence... I came up with this explanation. It is also illustrating how strong the Knowing’s influence is, even without you consciously knowing it.
( But I am biased, keep that in mind...make your own mind up!!)

The people resist making changes (themselves) to the fundaments of their being (their prime directives if you like, their core settings), because they have bad experiences with doing that,  that caused them loss!

The last time they did that, on instigation of people they trusted to know what they were doing, somewhere in childhood, it did cause a severe loss.
Is caused them to experience the loss of freedom of choice, of play, of innocence, of limitless curiosity, of high speed developments, of creativity, of a sense of self, of a sense of power.... and in the slipstream of that.... being a fully functioning happy healthy resourceful human being.

No wonder, that in their own database of life, there is a series of red flags waving frantically at any inkling to do such a thing :” Are you really really sure you wish to proceed”?

With so many red flags from the most reliable source in the world ( you own honest self), you are pretty sure you don’t want to proceed. You can’t cope with the thought of losing any more in life!

Life as you know it may not be that bright, but at least it is the life as you know it.

Now, every night in your sleep, you soul references the Knowing, to see what is known by mankind about a phenomena. What did other people experience in similar situations? What were the effects of proceeding with this action in the majority of cases?
That knowledge is brought back to you and ‘ under the bonnet of your consciousness’ made available to you.
You soul will convey any warming signals too, if something is known to be causing major problems in mankind as a whole.

If you were wondering (asking the Knowing) :” Is following somebody else’s lead on making fundamental chances in your core settings known to be a good idea?” The answer will be a very definite ‘ no, it is strongly advised against doing that’.
No child who has done it, has really enjoyed the result of it. Millions and millions of humans have filled this file with their experience. Hard to (dis)miss.

And so, with warnings from your own private database and warnings coming through your soul... the inkling fades, your  system’s setting remain the same,  live as you know it continues to live another day.

But, because of the nature of life... that.....it doesn’t!  It changes, always......and in doing so, life keeps creeping up on you. You comfort zone gets smaller and smaller.
Why?

I would say:” Because you are not asking the right questions, you are not getting the answers that really serve your wellbeing!”

The Universe, the Knowing, they are like Google on theinternet. They take your quest(ions)  very serious, but also very literal.

If there is something you would benefit from doing, I would say, it would be to monitor what you ask, what you wonder, keep an eye on your questions ( and the appeal of the answers you find, of course).
Reword your questions, over and over again and don’t stop doing that until you get really satisfying  an to-the-point answers. Change nothing but the wording in how you wonder, before making any fundamental changes in your system and your actions. Fly an issue from all the angles you can think of, use all the synonyms for a word you can think of, use the word for a phenomenon you like best, change the words, change your questions.

The wonderful thing about doing that is many-fold:

·         Questions don’t alter any fundamental setting, it is investigating... it is safe

·         Your personal database will tell you how often you already got better answers by asking better questions, so it is considered to be a good idea, right from day 1.

·         The Knowing, through your soul, will tell you that people who were altering their questions received results they liked better, so it is considered to be a good idea by mankind to.

·         Meanwhile, you do get better answers, more options to chose from, experience in processing information and making your own mind up.

·         You have changed something and it lead to more, insteed of less!

·         Your comfort zone regarding ‘ change’ grows.

One day, you might  ask :”I wonder if it could be a good idea to structurally make my own mind up?”
That will be answered, both by your own database ( from recent experience) as well as by the Knowing ‘ yes, people who make structurally their own mind up usually like the results of doing that’.
Two very reliable sources saying the same thing, calmly and confidently.....

Are there enough reasons to trust me on this, to follow this advice?
Right now? NO!!!!!

One:
This blog, with my rather unconventional ideas, has a size smaller than a sand particle in the information desert online called the world wide web. Some of the things I say,  quite openly contradict with common understandings you'll find anywhere else online. There is safety in numbers, in common sense, you know!?

Two:
I am in no position to make suggestions for change to you.
Even if we do happen to know each other, from real life..... chances are that I am not living anywhere near you and that the choices you are facing and making are completely inconsequential to my personal life sphere and vice versa.

For now, treat this stuff at best like one single dust flake, in the files of  your reliable sources.

If it fascinates you, maybe sleep a night on it.... and come back to it tomorrow.

There will be more to come, my take on:
- safety in numbers
- the importance of relative positions in developments

Turning water into.....

The Knowing is a source of information.

I call it a very reliable source of information.

I’d like to dive a little deeper into the concept of reliable source , by exploring the word ‘source’ separately from ‘ information’.

Water, so is the perceived wisdom, is crucial to life. If scientists want to investigate if a planet is likely to have life-as-we-know-it, they first determine if there is water.  In human evolution, people created new settlements always preferably close to water.
We need water, as part of the physical packet for life sustenance.

We all know, the purer the water, the better the quality. Contaminated water is unhealthy.
If you are concerned about your safety, it is likely that you’ll give some consideration to:

- the source of your water : where does it come from?

- the flow of the water: how did it get to you...what happened along the way?

- how far away are you from the real source (distance and time)?

- how do I use it ( hygiene, how do I treat it once it gets to me)?

Looking at water, the purest water on earth is found in two places: in the sky and (deep) in the earth.
The process that got the water there in the first place, purified it. It was condensation, to get it up there and filtration, to get it down there.
Dirty bits are usually heavier and don’t make it all the way to the place where it gets stored for a while, whether that is up or down.
High up there and deep down there, the water is not usable.. we simply don’t have practical access to it. It is not where we are.
Luckily, there is ‘ rain’ giving a regular flow of this necessity from above.
Luckily, there are  ‘springs’ giving an endless flow of this necessity, welling up from deep within.
Great!
And we all know that the water just cycles, in time, from being rain, to being spring water, to moving through rivers, lakes and seas and evaporate somewhere along the way, to become rain again.
So calling something ‘ spring water’ or ‘ rain water’ is merely referring to its latest known source in a pure state.

It doesn’t take much imagination, to see that if you use water straight from the well, or straight from the sky, it is cleaner, it is purer than if you use water others have used before you (water from behind the outlet of a factory, or water people and/or  animals have been using for bathing and.. well.....let’s call it ‘other activities’.)
If it has been processed by many, the impurities in the water are accumulating.

That happens in the best of circumstances, let alone in modern day densely populated and polluted areas. There, even the water quality close to the source becomes questionable: rain falling through polluted air, gets contaminated with particles and doesn’t arrive clean on the surface anymore. Spring water, welling up through polluted soil, is contaminated with particles and doesn’t arrive clean at the surface anymore.

Knowing that, there is still a way of distilling (literally) clean water from it. The pure water is always there, it is just a matter of taking the harmful particles out. Distillation of filtration are methods open to you too. It takes some time, some effort and some energy... but the result is much purer.

Obviously, cleaning the environment, NOT polluting the environment, has enormous benefits to the quality of this whole process too.

In all cases, wherever it comes from, no matter what the quality is.... if you don’t drink the water, if you don’t process it yourself, your system doesn’t benefit from it, dehydrates and ......

With water, this is easy to imagine.
Now... this whole process is equally true with another necessity in life: information.

Can a human being not live without information?
I say ‘ no’.
Following the simplest reasoning:  if you don’t know (= have access to meaningful information and are able to process it) where and how water and food can be obtained, it is game over, fairly soon.

I can rewrite the whole paragraph about water to make a point about information, simply by replacing ‘water’ by ‘information’.
I can because I know how to do that.
However, I also know that there is a much greater learning benefit if I leave a gap here and allow you to do that yourself, if you so wish.

In that way, I leave it to your imagination to do so, enabling you to observe what filters through (‘true’) in the process.

Just tempted to sprinkle here a few add-ons to ease the switch from the physical/ concrete concept of  ‘water’, to the metaphysical/ abstract concept of ‘ information’.

To my understanding:

·         The purest, clearest information is called Truth, it doesn’t contain harmful particles that pollute the Truth.

·         Pure rich completely ringing True information poured down is usually called: inspiration.

·         Pure rich completely ringing True information welling up from within is usually called: intuition.

Enjoy the process of turning water into something else!

Knowing and the relation with information processing skills

Developing, evolving, growing is in its nature a process of expanding possibilities, exploring new, formally unknown territory.
I state, the Soul offers support in doing that safely.
However, many functions in the body-mind-soul system, having to do with processing information are actively disabled in most modern Western people, in the course of their life time.
All information, that is, not just that what the soul downloads from the Knowing.

Many of us disabled functions related to this in our system in the early phase of life called childhood.
There, you were quite objectively relying on the people in your environment to provide you with essential things in life. Those people taught you many things, among which probably that these people around you are also the most reliable source of information.
It is highly likely that you were exploring other sources in those days, came up and experimented with new ideas and concepts, questioned the choices the people around you made and you probably were showing evidence of favouring some of those alternatives.
It is highly likely, because children and adolescents do this naturally, as part of their development to being an adult.

Unfortunately (that is my assessment of it) such natural inquisitive experimental behaviour was not met with full appreciation or inspiring guidance.
It got either completely disapproved of (blocked) or confined to be allowed only in areas of life regarded as less crucial (leisure time).
If your life (being loved, fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, to name a few) depends on it, your options on dealing with this from this position as a child are few. You follow in the footsteps of your providers in order to stand any chance to grow up to be an independent adult.

That is where you are now. You are able now to provide yourself with various essentials in life, make your own choices independently. Congratulations! You survived childhood!

Only...... in order to make good choices that are good for all areas of (your) life, information processing skills are a necessary life skill.
How do you assess the quality of information?
How do you assess the usability of information in your situation?
How do you gather information?
How do you deal with data that seem contradicting?
What defines a good choice? How do you make a good choice?

Is it safe to say that , even if you have a natural ability for something (talent) , if you don’t practise it, use it, you don’t become very good and very skilled at it.

Some say, our current generation of people in their working adult years are experiencing choices-stress.
This is often understood as ‘ the quantity of choices’  is causing the stress. The problem is said to be caused by  abundance of so many good possibilities.
Usually followed by a longing for ‘ the old days’ when life was simple, you simply had no choice.

I would pinpoint in a slightly different direction as the cause of the stress, since I view Abundance of good possibilities as a blessing, not a curse.
To me, when talking about choices-stress, it is the quality of the choices process that is causing the stress.

Most people don’t see the abundance when they are in any way involved in a choices process.
With so many of their natural abilities to chose wisely in ever changing circumstances actively disabled, their options to chose from have actually decreased into the default modus operandi in making choices. The routine has become, on making choices:
 “ I follow the lead of those who provide me with essentials like money, clothing, housing, food, attention.”
Reason, the assumed position in the person’s belief system is:  “I am not in a position to do anything else. This is my only choice to survive.”

Instead of seeing abundance in options to chose from, to live, the person own program settings have  narrowed it all down to seeing only One Choice open to survive... to follow somebody else’s lead!

If there was only one person who would provide you with all the essentials and the world hadn’t moved on in any way, that strategy could still work very well.
But that is observable not the case, if you look outwardly.
There are bosses, clients, spouses, landlords , commerce, governments  and now-elderly parents providing you with life’s essentials. They are contradicting each other in telling you what to chose, all with their own preferences for what you chose, for varying reasons (motives they often keep to themselves).
Resulting in ongoing confusing in you on what to chose in order to survive. How is that usually called? Stress.
Choices-stress. Life is a string of choices..... so make that an existential stress.

Not because there are too many options to chose from, but there is only one option actually open on how to chose, in the body-mind-soul programming.

That state of affairs would really benefit from an update, if you asked me.
An update I know that can’t be purchased, but is freely available to anybody who chooses it.

Allow your system to go back to its natural settings as it was programmed from the ‘ factory’ and explore all the wonderful options that got ‘ unchecked’ were ‘ disabled’ in the process of you, customizing  yourself.

More on my ideas on the how to’s  of that, in followings blogs, I’m sure.

Food for Thought: Quirky Cucumbers

I am aware that it is generally favoured to see consistency, a repeating patterns of sameness, in how products look. Favouring ‘ sameness’  in appearance is so much ingrained in the fabric of our society, that it has often become the norm. 

The extent to which people can produce the same looking result, over and over again, consistently, is considered to be an indicator of quality.
Fascinating.

I am a producer myself.
I am a producer of Food for Thought, which I grow in a sustainable way.

In writing here about the collective consciousness, sharing the fruits (and vegetables) I’ve grown in my mental gardens and greenhouses, I’ve noticed something, in looking at my products and getting feedback about them.

Apparently, I grow quirky cucumbers!
Just as well as pear shaped apples, and appalling pears.
In their shape, in their form, in their size, in their weight... they are not-consistent.
Even in their timing of appearance, they are not-consistent. Sometimes there is almost no produce of some kind, other times, something of a certain kind is abundant.

That, in modern day eyes, is a prove of me being a lousy producer.

I can’t supply consistently the same things over and over again. And when there is a steady supply, the various products don’t look the same, don’t follow the same rules.

When it comes to writing, there are rules, you know, in society, on how to produce quality pieces.
Rules about language, grammar, spelling and style.
Most important rule in amongst those rules seems to be: be consistent.

Well, I look at my products and way of producing them  and I see:
I am following one rule, very consistently. 

It is, to me, the most important rule I live by, defining quality to me.
The nutritional value of my products needs to be consistently high and I can only achieve such produce by allowing it to grow freely, allowing it to follow its natural rhythm, to develop in its natural shape.

Mass produced ( with all due respect) cucumbers can be recognised by their sameness in shape, year round available in any supermarket near you. They are usually consistent in taste too.
Organically grown cucumbers are quirky. They all are slightly different, with a dent here, a bend there, some spots or discolouring. They may even vary in taste.
If you ever are in a position to compare the two..... I’m pretty sure which type will tickle your taste-buds more.

So, when it comes to my writing, know that this is what I have to offer.

I write in English. 

It don’t claim to write in correct and official British English, American English or Australian English. I am writing in International English, which is (at the moment , as far as I know),  in the Western world,  the fluid ever evolving dialect of people who are broadening their mental horizons, are exploring different ways of being beyond their cultural programming : my audience.

I love playing with words.

Some words you might call a typo, when it is actually a deliberate cross bread of concepts and so I will use it consistently spelled that way.

My sentences are usually on the long side.
I write very much in the way I speak and think.
I love it.
There are periods where I can stop myself.
Those breaks occur after intense information high stints with full focus on one thing.
You might not suspect it, reading the produce of those stints, but I am actually an ambassador for those periods.

I love using italics, bolds and ‘......’ , to emphasize something.

I leave gaps.
Not just empty spaces between paragraphs, as a way of structuring the text.
There are also gaps in the content;  bits of information you might think are missing, you might think are crucial.
Those gaps, are more often than not, left deliberately, because I produce fresh Food for Though, not ready meals.
You have got to slice it, mix it with other ingredients if you like, season it to your taste, prepare it as you want, chew it and digest it.

Some things are meant literally, some figurative. Many things are meant both simultaneously. I often leave it up to the reader to decide, just giggling knowing how different the reading experience is interpreting it as literal, or figurative.
That is part of my general invitation to be creative with my produce and experience how changing your mental position colours the experience!

So, yes, I am seriously playful. I know where I am leaning towards serious and when I am not. It may not always be obvious to you.
To me , that is part of the highest nutritional value I see in all work and play: JOY.

I harvest my Food for Thought when it is ripe, whatever is ripe.
No sooner, no later. It goes that very same day to the market, ready to be used, also creating space for new produce to grow.
A little TLC to wrap it up in carefully chosen words, just enough to get it to you.
But  no endless fussing with it or tossing it around.
No trying to make it look ‘ more presentable’ or recognisable to the mass....
Waiting for the ripe yummy quirky bendy discoloured cucumber to turn into a straight, evenly green one, doesn’t ring true for me as the wisest, most joyful actions to invest my time as a producer in.
So, there is some editing done...... not much. I’ve got a mental  garden to (joyfully) attend to!

Connectivity with the Knowing

When you desire to use the internet, two things are essential, regardless of why and how you want to use it:

• An electronic  device (powered and programmed)
• Access to an internet connection

These things can either be bought or borrowed.

When you desire to use the Knowing, two things are essential, regardless of why and how you want to use it too:

• A device (powered and programmed)
• Access to a connection

These things are part of the packet and you got it, for free.

Looking after the packet well, it will lasts a lifetime, 100% guarantee by the provider: the Universe.
( interestingly enough, even if you don’t look after it well, it will last a lifetime.)

The whole packet comes with a body, a mind and a soul, working closely together, all having specific functions for your consciousness as a toy/tool.

Very very roughly outlined, not doing all facets enough justice at all, I can describe it in one sentence like this:
The body  is the portable hardware,  the mind the operating system and the soul organises the energy-distribution.

Some processes are programmed by the provider, to ensure service of the highest quality to be provided.
Many settings and routines are programmed by yourself, to match your own preferences of how and why you desire to use this body-mind-soul packet.

Access to the knowing is one of the core base programs, always there, in every working packet.
It is even used every day in its Universal maintenance routines. When you stick your portable hardware in its re-charging position and mode (sleep) , all sorts of processes take place without your  active conscious awareness ( because that is switched to a very low level of ‘ standby’ for the duration of recharging and updating the software).
Try not sleeping for a couple of days and feel how much energy there is left. Not much. You’ve drained your battery. So yes, sleep is recharging you with energy.

Apart from being supplied with pure fresh new healthy wholesome powerful clear energy, also an exchange in information takes place, also through the soul.
The soul , as the energy distribution faculty, can do this very well, since information in its purest essence  is no more/no less than energy organised (vibrating)  in a certain pattern.

Everybody who has dug deeper in how computers work, will know that there is at the core no more to storing information than storing patterns of electrical impulses,  stop the energy flow ( zero’s) and let the energy flow again (one’s).

Some parts of this proces are organised by settings in your system you wouldn’t normally be able to switch of or alter.
Every night, in your sleep, your soul is uploading all your experiences, all the energy vibrations of you of that day, to the Knowing.
It is, on its own device, programmed that way.
But when it comes to information exchange, it doesn’t stop with uploading information.

The soul is also consulting the Knowing: referencing any unusual experiences to your system. Asking the Knowing;” What is known to man about this unknown (to me) phenomenon?”

In the knowing, the vibrational resonance of that experience with something new, is compared with all experiences and ‘ results’ come back: “ Here is what is known to man about this you’ve encountered today”.

That downloaded information gets used in the part of your system you have setup  (programmed) to be allowed to have access to and use this information!

This is where your conscious influence and customizing of the settings begins... how to deal with available information?
