A Living Idea
A living idea gives more the more you engage with it, in the form of value, meaning, and energy. It is not confined to physics, because your mind is not.
The only zero-sum game in your mind is the result of an unruly personal economy, an economy of time and attention.
When we can keep the work at bay, and nurture a practice that grounds, and is genuinely curious, about the self, first, we can drop into our place of thinking.
It is that place full of living ideas —the subtle currents that drive our aesthetic (/decisions). When we pull on them, we can put language on our intuition and, by doing so, expand its surface area. We can intuit further and invite others to our interpretation, which they can, in turn, do with others. And by doing that, we move away from zero-sum economies to a truly mutual, but not transactional, way of being.
