The direction of the mind

This works on every scale.

Humans... towns... countries... international... astrophysics... and everything in between.

(And yes , I leave some typos on purpose. Not because of AI nonsense... but because hunting them like a maniac when they can't create confusion is a mask I don't like to wear)

A mind is like a shark in the sense that it cannot stop moving , or it will die.

We all know this, we all feel this, we all see this. Since we have no control over the speed of time, or it’s direction.. Causality will keep going in the same direction, and we as individuals have no control over the speed that it is travelling in that direction.

This fills a lot of people with dread, and they start looking for solutions to alleviate that dread.

Do notice though , that no child … ever… has these problems until you start abusing it by creating many situations of which that child mind knows it’s wrong, knows it hurts and for which it is perfectly normal to try and move out of harms way.

Do this enough, have it fail enough in trying to get out of harms way… and it will inexorably turn on itself, which is only logical for the continuous and glorious solutioning machine that it is.

It’s greatest power becomes the enemy of itself, since it can think of nothing to escape it, hence it’s inability to change the direction of time because something that needs to be hated.

This also means, that all and every indication of a mind NOT trying to change the direction of time is hated automatically. Keep doing this long enough and it will literally immediately try to destroy everything that is growing. Since growth is the enemy… since growth is “the opposite” direction.

All words , all groups, all ‘isms’ , all products, all services, all behaviour , all names … none of that matters anymore

Once there… it has actually succeeded in turning time around. The mind stopped growing… got stuck in despair for a while and then decided to go back. Back to death in a reverse way.

Everything is has been learning , everything it has been doing is walked back.

Whatever was the last thing it started believing , is the first thing that will be destroyed, and it will look for the previous thing it learned before that and destroy that.

It does this all the way back to the basics of learning to walk, and everything in between. Somewhere in between it destroys it’s ability to learn how to speak. After that it destroys how to listen… etc… all the way down to it’s very first breath…

All the way down to it’s first heartbeat.

They are literally trying to crawl back into the womb… that’ where they came from… and that’s where they’re going. Without thought. Automatically.

Don’t fall into the binary trap though

None of this is static , and just like the individual going through this has proven already , nothing in this process is irreversible… until it is too late.

There is the direction of growth.. speed doesn’t matter here. It could be crawling, or it could be supersonic.

But sprints usually don’t last long, and they will force a period of standstill , which is what you need to be able to turn back… so sprinting is not advised , but going too slow so that you almost stand still also isn’t advised , since that is again what you need to be able to turn back.

So everyone who stands still, or nearly stand still in a direction of growth of the mind is at great risk. Someone who is growing at a healthy pace isn’t.

And anyone who is growing , knows that all things like feeling good, fulfilled, feeling worth it, knowing what to do… you know.. That thing called being happy…. Is only possible if you try your best to get the ones standing still to get going again in the right direction.

You can’t save them all, but if you don’t try, you stand still… and become your own risk. Anyone growing at a healthy pace knows this by heart, by soul and by mind with zero doubts about any of it.

It is only when you are caught in a river heading the other direction that this becomes difficult to remember. Only when everything and everyone around you has forgotten this, is it difficult to remember… And that is when you stand still in defiance of it, which puts you at risk of being swept away.

And you can tell within yourself very easily which direction you are on…. If you can be honest about that.

But how to tell this in others?

How can you learn to trust someone again, after being confronted with that de-growth so many times and failing to see in time that you placed your trust in the wrong place yet again.

How can we learn to see the direction another mind is on?

There are so many ways… since actually… neither the grower, or the de-grower is hiding this. Sure… they all wear masks. But the mask is a big arrow showing the direction itself. And a de-grower , can’t wear a growing mask. And a grower can’t wear a de-grower mask. Not really.

(But it’s delicate and nuanced… they can wear it for a little while… but it burns their face and that acidic reaction is something you can sort of “smell”)

Study the masks they wear.

Study how many times they put on which masks.

and most importantly… study how long a specific mask can stay on with getting tired.

When a grower puts on a growing mask , they do not tire easily.
And if it’s a beautiful mask they crafted all by themselves, it even drives and energizes them.

It will become hard to put the mask down even, and even in that there is a danger… it could make them start to grow to fast , after which is that danger of having to stand still. The danger of growing too fast.

when a degrower puts on a degrowing mask, they do not tire easily either in their direction. Ever faster and faster they go into death. Those are super easy to identify of course. Always the same actions, always the same reactions, always louder, always more aggressive… going all the way back to the state of mind at birth.

blank. black. nothing.

and trying to get there as fast as possible.

And now the doosy… A degrower puts on a growing mask, in an attempt to steal, betray, maim and destroy. Those are the sneaky ones.

(But remember, it’s just as sneaky as a grower with a growing mask will lead to the same doom a few steps later . they’re all part of the same cycle. It’s all still the mind that needs to move in a direction like a shark to be able to exist. It will have to swim somewhere. Can’t be helped)

When a de-grower puts on a growing mask to hide from itself and others that it’s degrowing… the reaction between that mask and their true face is an acidic burn off.

They can’t keep it up for long… and there’s this sizzling and acrid smell around it that you might perceive with instincts and intuition. Since the facts wont show it of course. It’s a perfect mask.

You just have to pay close attention… be patient… and watch for how long they can keep it up. If it needs to be performed in short bursts after which they retreat again to then come back and do the same thing again… then the mask and the face aren’t compatible.

So you want to be able to see who you can trust with what?

Spend continuous time together, without plans. If you can’t achieve that… if that doesn’t happen and is avoided by someone… then there are mask incompatibility issues.

It’s a simple test.

"Wanna hang out?”

“What are we going to do?”

“I dunno”

and then observe what happens… really… really… well.

If you don’t engage with each other at all , and are both on your phone that obviously doesn’t count. Two people doing different things , that happen to be in the same room arent even bothering. remember… this isn’t a story about bodies… it’s a story about their minds.

Are they making each other grow… or are they making each other degrow.

We’re talking about thoughtful conversation , playing a game together and then having thoughtful conversation about that game.

Build something together and then have thoughtful conversation about what you’re building and why.

If you’re destroying something together… well.. never mind. You’re in the wrong direction and it doesn’t matter anymore who to trust… no one anymore actualy. since you’re heading in the wrong direction and everyone you click with will join you in that same direction where everything just gets worse. In it’s extremes that turns into death cults and stuff like that. In many shapes and forms and names and places… but the direction is all that matters and there is only one destination in that direction.

Feel free to invite people to things like that… that they refuse the invitation doesn’t mean anything. They could be busy , they could be afraid, they could be shy … it’s a free world. You can’t force anyone to join you there. But also never forget that there’s nothing to lose with the invitation. That rejection shouldn’t hurt at all and is a sign of your direction again because you can also do this on your own , so you’ve got an endless supply of this to hand out.

The infinite source shouldn’t be worried or sad that you keep handing out beautiful things that are just ignored by the ones who need it the most.

People in the right direction gladly accept these invitations…

people in the wrong one attack you for suggesting it’s even possible.

People that are in the dangerous phase of standing still..

Those are the ones that need it the most to hear it.

and if you can’t get over your opinion that they “don’t deserve it” … You’re moving in the wrong direction, since the ones who deserve it the least… are actually the ones who need it the most.

Don’t take on the responsibility of trying this with everyone standing still…

And you are creating the very river that will one day sweep you away.

In the end… It’s always you.

Check your compass of time at all times… and that will be the best you can do.

You will not feel guilt. You will not feel regret. You can see beauty everywhere.

The other direction… has only the opposite of that. Obviously. Some call it a mirror.
