Voices from the edge: what are we waiting for ?

Posted on May 3rd, 2007 by woepwoep : Deconstruction of Attention woepwoep
Lately i notice an increasing number of people who are waiting.

They have come from a business perspective.
Then they enter the spiritual path.

Next, when they want to create, and perhaps make some money,
their reality, or the universe, throws them back.

As one person said : "it seems as if the message is that i should wait".

Waiting, in this sense of the word, is different from ignoring, is different from "meanwhile doing something else."

This is a busy wait, a waiting that takes up all of one's attention.
Waiting, in this sense of the word, is inserting a maximum amount of energy / attention into that which one is waiting for.

This waiting is the same as "doing nothing".

My questions to you, Zaadz community members :
  1. have you encountered such message? The message that says "hold your fire" ? Perhaps you will share some of your own experiences ?
  2. what is the new, the unknown, that these people are inserting energy into / paying attention to / waiting for ?
  3. What is your source for knowing this unknown? How certain are you about this answer ?  Perhaps we can find out when to expect , by following the materialization process ? Even if you are not sure at all, do post - you may help others find their answers by using yours in a  "wisdom of crowds" fashion
Please share this blog with many others, have them post here too.

Let's find out !

Best regards, Ron

Attention vocabulary: What is Frustration?

Posted on May 3rd, 2007 by woepwoep : Deconstruction of Attention woepwoep
Frustration is the desire to solve someone else's problem.
When you feel frustrated, you know one thing for sure: it is NOT your problem.

Who am i online?

Posted on May 6th, 2007 by woepwoep : Deconstruction of Attention woepwoep
The great thing about the internet in general, and social networking in particular, is that
once you're on the digital superhighway,
there is no human body involved.

Only at the exits - keyboard/fingers , screen/eyes , speakers/ears - there is some body.
On the internet there is no body.

Is there a "some body" writing this blog? And how would you know?
What if the online body is built up of attention?

We had a discussion this morning at IIW2005 about attention data and identity. It's clear that attention data is founded on identity, it's less clear that attention data is identity in the sense of "digital identity" as it's commonly defined as a collection of attributes, preferences, and traits.

What if the same is true offline ?
What if you are where your attention is?
Then who are you?
Could it be that you ARE your attention ?

It appears to me that once again, technology provides us with a mirror - the online identity - to trigger the fundamental questions of mankind to yet another dimension.

Best regards, Ron

Attention proverbs: What you want to give most is what you want t

Posted on May 3rd, 2007 by woepwoep : Deconstruction of Attention woepwoep
Proposition: What you want to give most is what you want to receive most.

Demonstration:
- To give something is to express love from the inside to the outside.
- The reason for doing so is, that something new may enter at this inner location that was previously occupied with what has now been expressed.
- The resulting emptiness inside is what is called attention, and attention paid to love outside, invites this outside love to flow into this inner location.
- Therefore, what you want to give most is what you want to receive most.

Q.E.D.

The primary characteristic of any living system is openness - what is inside flows to the outside, to make room for what is outside to flow inside.
