Looking for Aha-moments? Surprisingly useful connections? Interested in learning more about You, how your personality was formed, who you truly are? I know I am. And so, as an INFJ type I enjoy finding underlying patterns and share them in this forum. I also talk about Non-Duality (Advaita Vedanta). Take this journey with me and with your questions and comments we will tread forth together, attempting to make sense of it all. :)

In the previous episode we noted that merely focusing on practicing the mutually beneficial win-win situations will not fulfil our longing for meaning and connection. Thus it may not be sufficient to move us out of an increasingly addictive world, where all we have are fast pleasure hits provided by addictively designed food or social media. What i…

Narratives are stories that we give power when we believe in them. They may originate in traumas, developmental traumas and this form our personalities, telling us who we are. They may come from our society and be partially factual or fictional. By moving beyond our current identity we can loosen the grip they have on us. This move will also tend t…

Beauty with capital B is like God with capital G - inexplicable. And yet, there is so much to say. It is our essence. It is one part of the trinity of our essence: Beauty, Consciousness, Love. Beauty is related to one of the fundamental ways in which we experience, in particular through perception. It is tied to Being. Moving away from our wholenes…

The idea of moving from Beauty can be accessed through all we do but is perhaps easier to find through dance. When we move from Beauty we act from an expanded sense of self and a larger perspective. We act from love, instead of acting from fear. By letting go, opening up, becoming present, receiving and inviting in the moment we can let Beauty buil…

The astrologer Michael Lennox once said, in passing: "The world is not happening to you, not even for you, or through you, but as you." I found these perspectives thought-worthy and decided to think about them out loud. It is interesting how each step along this process of going from the first, to the second, to the third and to the fourth perspect…

Is it possible to keep our faith in spite of all the dark moments we experience? What is faith? What can we base it on an how can we use it to have a beautiful life? We start off by listening to a part of the tango “Tormenta” (Storm, in English), arranged by Carlos di Sarli featuring Mario Pomar, as a poetic expression for the lack of faith in life…

Why is life so difficult? Why do we have to struggle so much and yet often gain so little? Why are millions starving? Why is there so much lack and why is abundance so difficult to come by? Even though most would agree that abundance and love are what we value, the systems around our material world are not set up that way. Instead our systems are s…

Inspired by the movement called "Effective Altruism", I asked myself the question as I have seen it posed: "How can I do the most good, given my limited resources?" As I asked it, I wondered if the second part of the question, "...given my limited resources", was not tripping me up in finding the most natural answer. To show how the second part is …

"The Devil is in the Structure", and it is the structure, or the system, that provides a slanting floor and makes it easier for us to become, identify as, and live as agents for the system. Systems ultimately lend us their eyes and we end up seeing the world through their perspective, losing other sight. We talk about this in the context of the sys…

Do you feel the urge to help others? Do you know where it comes from? Sometimes it comes from love, and sometimes, like those times when you feel the need to give others advice and solutions, it might come from another place. Learning to recognise where it comes from for you can help you become more free and loving. In this episode we investigate w…

In this final episode of 2021 I discuss the following picture: http://basiapiechocinska.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/EP60Crossroads-scaled.jpg It represents a crossroads that we currently find ourselves at as humans on Earth. We see the hand of technology pushing us into a place of choice and two main roads being presented to us. One road is repr…

In times of great polarity we talk about two ways of stepping out of it and gaining insight and perspective. The first method is related to ancient battle tactics, where the opponent wishes to distract you and create an internal fight, so that they may have the upper hand and be able to achieve their goal. Here is the picture of the King and his Ad…

We are currently finding ourselves in situations we would not have seen as justifiable only two years ago, and yet we are there. The situation is continuing to escalate as a totalitarian-like movement sweeps across the many countries. In this episode we talk about some of the things we could have thought unthinkable, such as medical mandates, talks…

When we become aware that we are an actor we get the freedom of being able to choose what roles we play. By relaxing and dwelling in the unknown present, we train our mind in a way that transcends and translates into all our experiences. It is like strength training, which automatically makes us stronger in all situations where muscles are involved…

Understanding how and why judgement is problematic for us may be helpful in directing our attention towards alternative ways of being. In our society we have been trained away from our natural way of being into a way that is based around praise and punishment, judgement, and consequently violence. We employ this when interacting with others as well…

In this short, short episode we connect some of the ideas we have spoken about. In particular we see how The Art of Silence, of practicing silence, is the origin of the language of the giraffe. This is Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication. It is also the language of win-win games. It is what is needed if we wish to physically stay on Earth…

In this episode we primarily look at Hannah Arendt's 1951 book "The Origins of Totalitarianism" and try to see if we can recognise some of the dynamics she writes about, in our current covid-world. The prerequisites for the beginnings of a totalitarian dynamics, of rootlessness, unattached anxiety, and meaninglessness have been escalated by covid-l…

Marshall Rosenberg´s "Nonviolent Communication", or "the language of the giraffe" is a heart centered all-win type of interaction. In this episode we discuss it as a possible future language of a civilisation that is based around win-win solutions for all, including the planet. We talk about money and how it is difficult to fit such a concept into …

This episode is actually inspired by a Disney song. We all probably know that what we focus on we tend to notice more of and who/what we identify as provides a perspective for our life. These are almost cliché, and yet when used wisely can prove life changing. Many of our globally most impactful problems can be traced back to an "we - they" outlook…

Sometimes it may be difficult to see how steeped in judgement we are and what it leads to. So, we start out by looking at the violence inherent in common compliments. We talk about how not only compliments but all sorts of rewards and payments rob us of our joy and creativity. We mention how our global, interconnected civilisation has interdependen…

Can we bring more magic and miracles into our life? What are some essential aspects of a magical life? Can we do anything to encourage the expression of miracles? We find that awe, an open and expansive sense of surprise, appears to be an aspect of magic. For it to be deeply satisfying we would like it to also have meaning that ties all thing toget…

A friend recommended I listen to a podcast on stupidity, where the question was posed: "Why are we acting in ways that hurt ourselves and others? Are we stupid?" (The podcast was from Dystopia and it is in Swedish. You can download it from here https://sverigesradio.se/topsy/ljudfil/srse/7878377.mp3) I find that when we act in myopic ways that are …

Today we talk about two thieves of joy that are interweaved. They are expectations and judgements. In societies where things work well and our expectations are met we are often accompanied by these joy thieves. They rob us of the present moment. In societies where things rarely go the way we would expect them to we eventually have to learn to let g…

We talk about the importance of learning to look for what is positive. We mention that perhaps as a survival mechanism we have developed certain biases that are helpful when we are young but make thriving more difficult over time. In particular, we mention senescence and the negativity bias. Then, we ask how one may go about solving problems and se…

Stress in complex systems leads to an adaptive response, if it does not terminate the system. In this episode we look at hermetic stress for our body and how it may provide health hacks. Then we look at how stress to our "adversaries" may lead to, for us, unpleasant reactions. We look at the current pandemic situation and at the types of immune str…

How can we have a more deeply satisfying life? Perhaps if we gain clarity around why we are here we will be able to see our purpose and then possibly move in a direction of fulfilling it, and that might be satisfying. We all seem to want to move in the direction that makes us feel better. If we follow this we might end up with greater satisfaction …

In this explorative episode we ask the material universe might be created as a type of Fourier Transform and how that could relate to more "New Age" types of ideas. We also ask about the atemporal types of experiences that people who experience near death circumstances go through and how they might be connected to the ideas of a frequency space. If…

We talk about the pervasiveness of the Holographic Order and how by aligning with it we may be served. This is equally important and useful for what is perhaps seen as most fundamental science, such as physics, as for social constructions, and what may seem to be spiritual or religious. We start by talking about how physicists look for un underlyin…

As some of you may know, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question on Life, the Universe, and Everything. :) We honour Douglas Adams' idea from his book, "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", and explore its depth by noting that meaning, connection, and transcendence are found by focusing in on the questions, rather than the answers. We look at ho…

This is an invitation to spend more time with yourself, your purest version of you. By doing that you can actually impact your life profoundly. This is because it will start changing who you see yourself as. A de-identification with any and all of the roles you play will make you less prone to fight, to want to win over others, to be defensive, to …

I have started creating a website, BasiaPiechocinska.com, where I will eventually be putting my "Make Sense" - game. The purpose is to learn to focus on what really matters to us, so that we may connect on a deeper, more satisfying and meaningful level. The game is based on unifying and transcending dynamics. There are three parts, each related to …

In this episode I talk about where the ideas pertaining to Unifying and Transcending Dynamics originate. We can see the pattern that when an empire reaches its phase of affluence is when moral decline starts to set in. Our current empire is in its final phase of chaos and lack of morals and ethics. This makes it reasonable to want to go back to foc…

Because we are in a meaning crisis, as nicely presented in the Youtube series of John Vervaeke "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis", we examine the concept of meaning. To find out how we can make life experience more meaningful we start by examining what experience is, and then what "making more meaningful" means. By experience we mean thoughts, fee…

How much of our thinking is conditioned by the historical setting? We have already mentioned how our way of thinking is conditioned by our personal developmental traumas. In episode 6 we talked about the sadness in the schizoid structure. But how much of our intuition and our insights are just reiterations of what has already happened in similar hi…

As discussed in the previous episode, holding onto knowledge can lead us to identify with it and stop our search for and openness to new information. It can become a self-imposed limit, where we put ourselves in a box that we end up defending and fighting for. Uncertainty provides us with the gift of presence and opens us up to further development.…

I was inspired to talk about knowledge because I remembered an old saying that tells children that knowledge is the key to power. This has, indeed, been the model of our society. We know that power can be problematic but is there any danger associated with knowledge? We look at how a knowledge focused life removes significance from it. We start by …

In this episode we ask if we do not already have a "Butterfly Intuition". By "Butterfly Intuition" I refer to the metaphorical butterfly that we have a chance of turning into personally and as a society and civilisation. It is an intuition that guides us to make all-win choices. We talk about the idea of diversity and based on it we look at how it …

Three Ways of Focusing - Three Different Lives For pedagogical purposes we imagine three different persons. The first lives their lives by focusing on achieving goals. The second has their focus on purpose. And the third one on meaning. We discuss what types of differences arise as a result of this in their world views, in how they connect and inte…

We start out this episode asking if the effects on people of social online platforms might actually end up a helpful catalyst in the transition from a suicidal society, on the brink of extinction, to something new. We talk about how the effects of the platforms are accentuating separation, disconnection, and fuling adversarial dynamics. Thus, they …

We talk about how the idea of "going deeper" can be used to engage in all-win dynamics, as opposed to win-lose dynamics. We briefly mention that many of our societies have been engaging in competitive dynamics and that this is a dynamics that tends to optimise for a win and thereby incentivise destruction of what may appear to stand in its way, suc…

In this episode I talk about some recent experiences I have had of letting go and how they have affected me. I talk about the magical power of the word “if” and how it can allow us to move beyond what was possible. We also discuss how our programs self-perpetuate and how we sometimes can decide what to run. We look at the basics of emotional surfin…

In this episode we focus on what may be required in order for us and our society to undergo a metamorphosis into an all-win society. Is it enough for all to learn that we should be acting for the wellbeing of all? What if we all learn this and we all make personal sacrifices to make it all work? Such societies already exist and involve a great deal…

I heard Daniel Schmachtenberger talk about the idea of our currently global society going through a metamorphosis. So, I decided to see how far I could take the metaphor. We start by looking at the stages of the maturation of a caterpillar, and then at its metamorphosis into a butterfly, focusing on what drives it. Then, we quickly look at the stag…

How much of what we are seeing in the world today seems new to us but is something that the world has already seen over and over again? Did you know that there were women university professors, judges, lawyers 1200 years ago? Did you know that rock-stars were a thing back then? Most of what we are going through now, even the Black Lives Matter type…

Inspired by Bret Weinstein´s idea of engineering a perpetual abundance society we talk about what it would take to create one. Starting out we set the context for where this idea of perpetual abundance comes from in terms of evolutionary biology and it is related to particularly one basic characteristic that seems to be wired into humans. Then, we …

In this episode I present how I see Jordan Peterson´s views on some of the dynamics in society. We talk about why the dynamics of left and right exists, what the extremes lead to, how all this could be tackled through personal responsibility, and about objective facts and metaphorical truths. Then I talk about how the above view relates to how I vi…

There are two themes in this podcast episode. One is to show what knowing who we are actually does for us. The other is showing how direct focus on what we think we want can lead us astray, and what we can do fix it. We talk about four examples. One is a physical example of what one may think diabetes type two is about and how reating it may seem c…

We talk about an underlying order to all that is, and look at how it is reflected in the illumination process. We go into the two parts of the illumination process and see how the first can be fairly easily understood, whereas the second requires us to move beyond our mind, and therefore also takes us beyond the logical and causal structures of the…

Finding out what actually moves you can be profoundly insightful, healing, and even provide you with a meaning and direction in life. As you recall a few situations from your life that moved you and ask what it is about those particular situations that moved you, you will be able to glean a pattern. This is a pattern that is pointing to an often hi…

In the 1970's we had Raymond Moody who wrote very interesting books about near-death experiences. Then, we got accounts from people working with persons who were dying, and hospice workers. Now, we also have the material from Peter Fenwick, who started studying the different processes of dying. Based on this, as well as looking at accounts by hypno…
