Life is not an either-or situation.
Life is not a yes or no world, but a continuum.
The more we understand the continuums we exist upon, the more flexibility we have in life. More choices, greater freedoms, increased confidence. Life then becomes a feedback loop.
Here are four meta-models, concepts that catch continuums of consciousness.
Attention is on continuums and can be like a magnet; they attract, and they repel.
Attention particles have an amazing affinity to act as researcher’s believe they will act. I think it is more than the scientific method of observing first, then thinking. Observation of attention seems to be connected to the observers beliefs.
Quantum physicists,’ when studying wave theory, observe energy particles as waves. But with the same apparatus studying the same energy and looking for particles they find energy is particles.
Does the observers intent make the difference?
Magnets are polarity, like consciousness. Our attention attracts concepts, beliefs, tangibles, and people, which it also repels. This magnetism forms our model of motivation.
Are we attracted toward what we want, or are we repelled?
Here are four continuums we all fall within.
1-Our motivational continuum: Moving towards our goals or moving away from what we don’t want. Call it attraction and repulsion. In speaking there are those whose motivation is to move away from fear, and those who move toward creating greater skills.
2- Worldview continuum: Those who believe in options or possibilities, and those who are procedural and love structure and rules. There is time and uses for both.
3-Proactive or reactive continuum: Are you an initiator or do you wait and see? The initiator is proactive and motivated from inside. The reactor is moved by what’s on the outside. No right, or wrong with either.
4-Specific or general continuum: Do you look at life specifically or in general? Is life big, broad strokes or small exactitudes?
My wife and I have a wonderful relationship and are on opposite ends of these four continuums. We balance each other by covering the full continuum, and are conscious of our differences, and have fun.
To repeat, life is not an either-or situation. Not a yes or no world, but a continuum.
The more continuums we are aware of, the greater the choices. We have more values we can manifest and share.
Most virtues come from the most important virtue, patience. It takes patience to know and understand ourselves and each other, the more love we experience. Continuums open us to see a positive feedback loop.
I am on the move toward continuum. My wife is on the move away continuum. She cuts-removes hair, covers gray. I built buildings and now build confidence, content, and clarity in presentations.
When we take turns cooking she loves procedure and follows recipes. I look in the fridge, see what’s available, and create. I initiate, volunteer, and take risks. I am an outlaw, outside the box, an entrepreneur. She reacts to how your hair acts, loves me to make decisions, and has comments on the situation at hand.
When we go out to dinner and I say Italian, she always says Pasta Primavera. Who do you thinks orders the same thing each time and who tries something new? My wife and I both desire pizza. When we order a pizza, it is half pepperoni for her, and half one with everything for me.
